Here are the cumulative results of the voting that took place at the FF Today board August 13th -15th. 234 lists were compiled to formulate this year's Consensus Rankings. The FF Today Board members were asked to rank their top 30 WRs. The rankings are calculated using traditional polling measures so that a consensus can be reached. A big thank you to Kirk Hollis for his help on this feature.

Analysis: Six solid WRs to start the rankings with all six regarded as being legitimate #1 guys. After those six, there are plenty of solid choice down through #17 with Plaxico Burress. There is a significant drop in value after Burress and and then again after Hines Ward & Deion Branch. Calvin Johnson comes in at #27- pretty high for a rookie wideout. The last drop-off in terms of value occurs after Vincent Jackson. Once about 35 receivers are off the board, the voting would indicate that it's pretty much a crapshoot. Still, if your league only starts 2 receivers each week, value should abound. If you start three, it will be helpful to understand the tiers that do exist.

Rankings based on this scoring system:
» 1 pt for every 20 yards passing
» 1 pt for every 10 yards rushing or receiving
» 4 pts for every passed TD
» 6 pts for every rushed/received TD
