We’re getting close, folks. Only 22 more days until our Sundays are occupied for the next 5 months and your fantasy experts are itching to talk DRAFT. Take a peak at our initial preseason rankings and be sure to keep an eye out for all of our additional fantasy football content as we inch closer to Week 1.

Given how accurate our rankings were last season (see breakdown below), DPJ and I have opted to combine forces (as well as 8 league championships across numerous formats) and take a public Yahoo league by storm in 2022 as co-managers. These Yahoos truly don’t know what’s about to hit them.

Break out your spreadsheets, turn back on your notifications for all things fantasy football news and start prepping your man caves for the best half of the year in sports. Enjoy our initial preseason draft/position rankings for 2022 and always remember to bet smarter, not harder.
