Fantasy football 2015: Top 200 rankings

The league never stops, so why should fantasy?

Football is coming.

To be honest, football is always coming. Even if you ignore free agency, the month of March, just to name a month, saw two of the league's absolute biggest fantasy names -- Jimmy Graham and LeSean McCoy -- change teams, with enough other moves around those to keep depth-chart trackers in business for weeks. And that's a month that is just about as far from actual games being played as it gets.

With that in mind, it makes sense to make fantasy rankings close to a year-round process as possible. So below is a top 200 for 2015 fantasy. It'll be updated every two weeks or so -- hey, I'm not a machine -- with any changes as dictated by new information around the league.

Everything below is "rankings as of the moment." Before the draft, no rookies will be in the rankings, because I don't know where they'll end up for certain, and players I expect to eventually lose their jobs to new draftees still have them. Possible suspensions are still only possible, so players are ranked as though that isn't a concern. Guys who are still free agents as of an update don't get ranked. Any, I don't know, star Minnesota running backs who might switch teams but haven't done so as of the ranking update will still be ranked on their team. (Also, no defenses or kickers, because blech.)

Because the rankings themselves will change fairly regularly over the offseason, I'm not going to give any specific thoughts on why I have guys where I have them here. But direct any questions to the comments, and I'll be sure to respond to all of them. My rationale might not be perfect, but it will exist, dammit.

It might be too early to do this with any real, firm confidence. But at the least, it's good to be thinking ahead. Because the league certainly is.
