*S3 Early Fantasy Rankings #1

[Daybe]

Quarterback:

1. Mike Boss
2. Chris Orosz
3. King Bronko
4. Logan Noble
5. Scrub Kyubee
6. Ethan Hunt
7. Josh Bercovici
8. Shawn Brady

Taking the #1 spot over Chris Orosz is Mike Boss. At this point it's pretty much a tie, as both teams have an insane amount of weapons to work with. Orosz is still one of the most potent quarterbacks in the game with plenty of weapons like Cook, Garden, and Maddox, but something will change next season.

Running Back:

1. Leroy Jenkins
2. Bubba Nuck
3. Reg Mackworthy
4. Boss Tweed
5. Darlane Farlane
6. Omar Wright
7. Jack Durden
8. Ardie Savea

Leroy Jenkins shoots so high up in these rankings due to his probable S3 workload. With the retirement of Otters running back Vick Bowers Jr. impending, Leroy Jenkins will receive almost all of the action unless the Otters pick up another back. Look for feature back touches from a running back running behind one of the better offensive lines in the league. Jenkins also poses a large threat in the receiving game.

Wide Receiver:

1. Josh Garden
2. Mayran Jackson
3. Robert Phelps
4. Kendrick Hendrix
5. Fox North
6. Bailey Cook
7. Cooper Christmas
8. Bradley Westfield
9. Shane Weston
10. Stormblessed
11. Alexandre LeClair
12. Dustin Evans
13. Darren Smallwood
14. Damien Kroetch
15. Matthew Vincent
16. Damian West

While debatable, in my rankings, I have Josh Garden reclaiming the top wide receiver crown. Garden has both the yards and the touchdowns, and while he doesn't receive as many targets as various other wideouts, like Robert Phelps and Mayran Jackson, he is more explosive and scores plenty of touchdowns.

Tight End:

1. Ricky Maddox
2. George Wright Jr.
3. Paul DiMirio
4. Rich Gucci
5. Break Bottles
6. Joseph Tkachuk
7. Gabriel Tenzini
8. Jesse Sanderson

Ricky Maddox recorded the most touchdowns and receiving yards out of all non suspended tight ends last season and he will most likely continue this dominating pace. George Wright Jr. should make a large splash as well due to the large amount of targets he gets. The tight end depth is extremely thin, so drafters should try to pick one up in the middle rounds to make sure they don't end up with the bottom tier (Sanderson, Larsendorf)

Defense:

1. Arizona Outlaws
2. Baltimore Hawks
3. Orange County Otters
4. Colorado Yeti
5. Philadelphia Liberty
6. Yellowknife Wraiths
7. San Jose Sabercats
8. Las Vegas Legion

The Outlaws have easily the best pass rush in the league, as their front 7 is a fantasy point machine. Combine that with the defense with the second most interceptions in the league and you have a fantasy owners' dream. The Legion fall to last due to the trading of star defensive tackle Mark Ramrio.

Kicker:

1. Turk Turkleton
2. Archibald Booter
3. Christiano Ronaldo
4. Stephen Harris
5. Iyah Blewitt
6. Al Sims
7. Bojo Kicksit
8. Joey Langdon

This one is straightforward. Turkleton kicks the most field goals. Turkleton gets the most opportunities. Therefore, he is the most valuable kicker in the league. Other solid pickups are Archibald Booter, Christiano Ronaldo, and Stephen Harris.

Top 20:

1. Leroy Jenkins
2. Josh Garden
3. Mayran Jackson
4. Robert Phelps
5. Bubba Nuck
6. Reg Mackworthy
7. Boss Tweed
8. Darlane Farlane
9. Kendrick Hendrix
10. Fox North
11. Bailey Cook
12. Cooper Christmas
13. Bradley Westfield
14. Omar Wright
15. Jack Durden
16. Shane Weston
17. Stormblessed
18. Ardie Savea
19. Alexandre LeClair
20. Dustin Evans

Love this article. I think my boy Farlane is underrated here. He lead the league in rushing, and will get more TDs next year.

[Ben]

This is a cool idea! Nice one, especially since I went into fantasy last season feeling a bit lost on who was where and what I should pick

[Daybe]

Love this article. I think my boy Farlane is underrated here. He lead the league in rushing, and will get more TDs next year.

the only concern i have for Farlane is his fumbles. 8 in a regular season is -16 fantasy points. that's questionable

[Noble]

Provided Colorado adds an offensive line, I should be a lot stronger this season. I've got Hendrix, Law, and Ross to move the ball too and that's plenty of targets.

i used the targets reasoning with Bronko as well as he has Jackson, Evans, and Chess, and even with draft picks invested in the O-Line the Outlaws' offensive line will still be superior without a trade. But yeah, I made this article knowing the Yeti would likely take Antonio Sandoval to improve the offensive line.

What I'd like to see happen is that we make a move for an active offensive lineman, draft Sandoval, keep Tech active and hopefully pick up another offensive line in the draft.

just realized that Rich Gucci is eligible to play for S3 due to time of retirement. Updating

yeah definitely. the yeti have a good amount of assets on defense and it makes me wonder if they'd be willing to part ways with one of them to pick up an elite offensive lineman

And to be fair it does say "Early Rankings" I'm assuming you're planning on doing another updated rankings once the draft/free agency is over that will be more accurate after more information is available
