Here is our overall list heading into the 2017 Fantasy Season. Positional breakdowns coming later this week — have at it!

The quarterbacks are a tough group to pin down this season as we saw a couple of top-flight options fall back to the pack in 2015. The top tier spans the top-7 names in these rankings, with Tom Brady’s impending four-game suspension the only thing keeping him out of that group.

Eli Manning bounced back nicely from an awful 2013 season with a pair of 30+ TD, 4400-yard campaigns. Amazing what an all-world talent on the outside can do for you. Year three under Ben McAdoo should be more of the same.

Blake Bortles at 15 likely represents the biggest surprise out of the top two tiers, but after leading the league in interceptions during his breakout sophomore campaign it’s hard to imagine that the Jags coaching staff allows him to lead the league in red zone passing attempts for a second straight season. With the offseason addition of Chris Ivory signaling a more run-heavy approach for 2016, Bortles sits behind veterans Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, Philip Rivers and Kirk Cousins as well as fellow sophomore Derek Carr.

While Adrian Peterson gets the nod at the top spot overall — any of the top 8 could finish at the as the king of the hill.

Lev Bell is simply too talented to let out of the top-10 and potential owners have to love seeing his suspension reduced to three games.

C.J. Anderson is getting no love in the preseason (RB14, 34 overall in consensus ADP data), despite averaging 4.7 ypc last season and 6.7 ypc over his last seven games.

Tier 1 stops at Elliot, the (mostly) healthy and in-their-prime bellcows with Bell, CJA, Doug Martin and Eddie Lacy forming the second tier.

Jonathan Stewart’s checkered injury history that includes multiple lower-leg issues leaves him out of this second tier and begins a new one including Carlos Hyde in Chip Kelly’s back-friendly system. Young risers Thomas Rawls and Latavius Murray as well as veterans LeSean McCoy and Ryan Matthews.

You absolutely want to leave the draft table with at least one of these top-18 backs. Missed time is the only thing that will prevent this group from returning RB1 value.

Tier four is also full of juice but the question marks are too big to ignore. Does Bilall Powell block Matt Forte from seeing anywhere near the volume he enjoyed in Chicago? How many games can Arian Foster get in? Does Demarco Murray bounce back? If you feel confident in any of these answers feel free to thrust these veterans up a round or two in your pre-draft list.

The top four options at the wide receiver position represent an elite tier with the enticing combination of superior talent, capable quarterback play and whole lot of targets. Beyond this upper echelon, Dez Bryant and Deandre Hopkins get the next two spots — we’ll call this tier 1B. A lost 2015 season keeping depressing Dez’s outlook while a new quarterback puts just the slightest bit of question in Nuk’s value.

The next group (tier-two) sits just a half-step behind, but each of the top-16 options has the look of a WR1. It’s an intriguing mix of young and old and the order they sit in your pre-draft list is merely personal preference.

Brandin Cooks starts the true third-tier of wide receivers covers the rest of the top-30 including all three wideouts in Arizona, both of Matthew Stafford aerial weapons and the moist talent “Number 2’s” in the game.

Interesintg values stand out in tier four, which is comprised of a mix of youngsters expected to see significant action (Parker, Coleman, White), a few reliable vets (Crabtree, Sanders, Jackson) as well as some stepping into larger roles (Chris Hogan).

At the tight end position, Gronk remains in a tier of his own, but there’s a nice bit of value in the remaining options in the top-10. Reed and Olsen are the “safest” bets to return TE1 value but Travis Kelce and Delaine Walker have plenty of potential as well. Antonio Gates remains the veteran value at the position, while getting very little respect as the 13th tight end taken on average according to Fantasy Pro’s consensus ADP data.
