All kidding aside, I spent the better part of the summer breaking down each position for dynasty owners in PPR leagues. We began with the top 50 quarterbacks, moved on to the top 75 running backs, continued on to the top 75 receivers and wrapped up with the top 50 tight ends. As expected, the NFL stops for no one and very little ever stays the same. So it should come as no surprise that while the season-ending injuries to Jeremy Maclin and Dennis Pitta led to the biggest changes, I have moved a number of players up or down in my rankings after taking another look at my position-by-position analysis.

While this Big Board will lack all the pretty colors and projections of my usual August articles, there was no less thought put into ranking the players. Just as I typically say in regards to my redraft Big Boards, my dynasty rankings below will probably perplex and surprise some readers. While it is important to me that my rankings are of the highest quality, it is more important to me they stimulate thought. It’s never a bad idea to question your own rankings (or have others question them) – it is the very reason why I submit three Big Boards for redraft purposes during the preseason.

With that said, let’s get to the rankings, which are based on PPR leagues where all touchdowns are worth six points. I stopped at 180 players in order to give owners in 12-team leagues: 1) 15 full rounds worth of players to draft and 2) at least two quarterbacks, five running backs, five receivers and two tight ends from which to choose. The age listed will be the player’s age on September 1, 2013.
