Now that most of the NFL transactions have taken place – thanks a lot Ravens and Chiefs – my top 200 rankings can officially be released. Everyone will undoubtedly have opinions on these. Some players I like a lot going into 2017, others not so much. A lot of this will inevitably be wrong come the end of this season after Achillles’ snap, ACL’s tear, concussions occur – you get the idea.
Feel free to drop some comments and tell me where I messed up, what I got right (in your opinion) or if you want to just troll me because you’re bored at work. My top 200 everybody! (Teams and Positional Rankings included with the players.)
* Updated on 7/25/17 to reflect Kenneth Dixon’s season-ending knee injury
* Updated on 8/11/17 to reflect Jay Cutler signing/Ryan Tannehill injury, Quincy Enunwa injury, Ezekiel Elliott suspension, and the trades of Jordan Matthews to Bills and Sammy Watkins to Rams
*Updated 8/31/17 to reflect injuries to Julian Edelman, Spencer Ware, and Cameron Meredith
