Many of us evaluating the running back and wide receiver rankings for fantasy football this season — and who are we kidding, for every season — often see groups of players who appear relatively indistinguishable statistically.
This might seem normal, but it is often misunderstood by fantasy newcomers. Rankings tell us only so much. They lack bigger-picture context.
A tiered ranking system adds key context that we all need when forced to make significant decisions in a matter of seconds on draft day.
For example, is this No. 5 RB from the rankings markedly better than the next fellow on the list? If not, perhaps go with another position.
