Early Fantasy Rankings for Rookies
David Dorey April 29, 2009	Comments		Print

Here are the preliminary rankings for rookies. This will obviously change as we see more of these rookies on their new teams and the rankings in their entirety typically take a full month before they are ready. Until then, here are the early rankings on the rookies. Barring the knowledge of what they look like wearing NFL uniforms, this is in large part about the situation that the rookies have been drafted into. View the IDP rookie rankings here.

These were done immediately after the NFL Draft. They are now replaced by the actual Huddle rankings for all players which include rookies.
