Updated Fantasy Tiers for QB, RB, WR and TE


Use these player groupings to make smart draft decisions.

With one week to go before the first game of the 2022 NFL season, there’s still time to have your fantasy draft. That makes it more important than ever to examine your fantasy positional "tiers." Unlike my regular player rankings, which you can also find on Sports Illustrated, tiers group players of similar value together.

Here are my positional tiers:

Quarterbacks

Running Backs

Wide Receivers

Tight Ends
