FanHouse fantasy positional rankings are compiled weekly by the staff in order to provide answers to possible lineup questions. These are assuming most leagues use Fleaflicker's standard scoring structure. If you need clarification, you need more players ranked, or have funky league rules, feel free to shoot us an email question.
There's very little dispute that
Anquan Boldin is a beast and/or arguably the best week-in-week-out fantasy receiver on the planet. If you ever miss his name amongst the top five in the weekly rankings, one of us forgot to drink our coffee or we drank too much. That said, every now and then it's safe to switch things up a little bit.
Yup, that's why for this week -- and maybe this week only -- the top spot is going back to
Andre Johnson. He's been rather quiet for the past few weeks after his torrid pace in October, however, Sunday should be a 'Dre day. It just seems about time that he breaks out of his mini-slump...
if you can even call it that. Also back to prominence this week? Look for
Terrell Owens to finally snap his eternal funk. Yes, I like that
Tony Romo is back and this game is at home. I just smell the popcorn.
The other usual suspects grace the top of our rankings, as usual. Essentially toss each name into a hat and pull them out for your random order. Yup, you just know what you're getting from the elite receivers...
usually. Sorry about
Steve Smith last week. Hmm.
Aside from the Boldin and
Larry Fitzgerald tandem, keep an eye on
Eddie Royal and
Brandon Marshall, who should torch the Raiders. Yes, I know all too well about
Nnamdi Asomugha facing up with either Marshall or Royal, but I'm not scared. My deep, deep sleeper - check in on
Joey Galloway against the Lions. I mean, check in on his health, too, but who can't embarrass the Lions these days?
Speaking of the Lions - isn't it time we just admit that even if he catches only two passes a game,
Calvin Johnson is a fixture amongst elite fantasy receivers? Yes, we can,
thank you. Let's hit the ranks...
