Fantasy Football Top 200 July Edition

Fantasy's MIke top 200 fantasy football skill players

David Welker

Here is my 1st ranking of the year of the top 200 fantasy football players. There has been a ton of movement this off season, including the chaotic organization called the Patriots. As you see, I have dropped Brady into mid 5th round, with Amendola around the same and Gronkowski into the 9th. All this is due to Amendola and Gronkowski injury issues and Brady's lack of weapons as well as his advanced age.

When braking down the numbers and players this early, in a snake draft there is no way I will not go RB/RB in 1st 2 rounds unless Megatron somehow is at the bottom of the 2nd. There is just way too much uncertainty in the RB position as well as crazy depth at QB and I see a ton of value at WR in rounds 4-8.

As far as the Rams, I will probably not end up with any of their players. Bradford should be better, but still see him between 15-20 as a fantasy QB, the RB situation is too much in the air and I think may change week to week. I also see the receptions spread out amongst 4-5 guys. I actually like the defense the most but that is another article later in the summer.

I only ranked skill players for this list as I think defenses can be taken anywhere but high in a draft as success the year before rarely equals success the next year.

We will update this list in the beginning of August and then once a week
