Top 5 Fantasy Player Rankings
Featured Article: Know Your LeagueBy Jeff Paur
RealTime Fantasy Sports This article has been a big hit the last several seasons, so we will continue to revisit the topic and draw some conclusions for the coming season. As mentioned in the past, a key to being a top fantasy owner is knowing your league scoring. It is a good plan to have an idea of what each position brings scoring wise for your league format. You don't want to field an average fantasy team, but knowing what average is, can be the difference between finishing first and last. Knowing your fantasy football scoring inside and out can be a huge difference maker for owners.
Using the rules for our High Stakes Leagues on RealTime Fantasy Sports, we came up with the average scores you might expect from each position, using last year's stats. This is a great way to formulate your draft strategy for the coming season. We broke down each position average, and how that could impact your draft. Remember, every league's rules are different, but this format is pretty similar to what most leagues are running these days.
Here is a breakdown of the scoring rules. Quarterbacks get four points per touchdown pass and minus a point for every interception. The rest of the touchdowns scored are worth six points apiece. Yardage for quarterbacks is 0.05 points per yard.

| The Titans finished 7-9 last season, so things weren't all the bad with the team. The defense played better than the last few seasons, which helped matters for the team. The offense still was very inconsistent, though, and needs to be much better this season if the Titans hope to finish .500 or better. Much of the offense depends on Jake Locker. Will Locker finally take that step forward this season? If he is, this is the season with quarterback guru Whisenhunt at the helm. We aren't completely sold on Locker, meaning a season similar to last year seems likely for the Titans. |
