As the preseason winds down and Fantasy drafts heat up, it's more important than ever to head into your drafts with a good understanding of what to expect. 

These Tiers are your road map to knowing when to go after the right players at the right time. It's my personal blend of my rankings and where I would take these players in my own drafts. Moreover, these Tiers will keep you from reaching for players I wouldn't reach for, and point you in the right direction of guys I would want to count on. 

Better yet, use these Tiers as a starting point and then make adjustments based on who you like. It's your team -- you should want to like the players you pick. No matter how you slice it, using Tiers will help you draft with confidence.

In previous versions I included strategies you could take with each position, along with my favorite strategy. This time, we're just getting into the Tiers themselves. You can read up on this position's strategy, including my recommendation, by tapping here
