Fantasy Football 2019 Cheat Sheet: Mobile Rankings for Last-Minute Drafters

Theo SalaunSep 1, 2019

Drafting late this year? Forgot to bring your BeerSheets to the draft and need to bring up some rankings on your phone? We've got you covered with some last-minute positional rankings for standard, non-point-per-reception leagues with four points per passing touchdown.

Check out the rankings below and remember to adjust accordingly if Ezekiel Elliott or Melvin Gordon stop their holdouts ahead of kickoff on September 5.

Quarterback

TOP NEWS

Colts Jaguars Football
Rams Seahawks Football
Mississippi Football

1. Patrick Mahomes
2. Deshaun Watson
3. Aaron Rodgers
4. Lamar Jackson
5. Carson Wentz
6. Russell Wilson
7. Drew Brees
8. Josh Allen
9. Baker Mayfield
10. Matt Ryan
11. Cam Newton
12. Kyler Murray
13. Jared Goff
14. Philip Rivers
15. Jameis Winston
16. Dak Prescott
17. Tom Brady
18. Sam Darnold
19. Matthew Stafford
20. Mitchell Trubisky
21. Derek Carr
22. Jimmy Garoppolo
23. Ben Roethlisberger
24. Kirk Cousins
25. Marcus Mariota
26. Ryan Fitzpatrick
27. Nick Foles
28. Joe Flacco
29. Andy Dalton
30. Eli Manning

The most notable risers here are likely the Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson and Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen. Both have obvious passing concerns, as they each ranked among the worst quarterbacks in the league in quarterback rating (84.5 and 67.9, respectively) and completion percentage (58.2 percent and 52.8 percent, respectively) as rookie signal-callers in 2018.

But rushing prowess supplants passing in fantasy football, and that's where Jackson and Allen each excel. En route to breaking the record for rushing attempts by a quarterback with just seven starts, Jackson tallied 695 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. On substantially fewer carries (89), Allen put up 631 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns. With that leg talent and the possibility that each improves as a passer in 2019, these two get a major bump for their upside at a position that can be comfortably streamed if things fall apart.

Running Back

1. Saquon Barkley
2. Christian McCaffrey
3. Alvin Kamara
4. David Johnson
5. Dalvin Cook
6. Le'Veon Bell
7. James Conner
8. Todd Gurley
9. Leonard Fournette
10. Kerryon Johnson
11. Aaron Jones
12. Nick Chubb
13. Marlon Mack
14. Devonta Freeman
15. Derrick Henry
16. Josh Jacobs
17. David Montgomery
18. Ezekiel Elliott
19. Melvin Gordon
20. Chris Carson
21. Sony Michel
22. Joe Mixon
23. Mark Ingram II
24. Damien Williams
25. Duke Johnson Jr.
26. Austin Ekeler
27. Devin Singletary
28. Phillip Lindsay
29. Tevin Coleman
30. Miles Sanders
31. Adrian Peterson
32. Tony Pollard
33. Tarik Cohen
34. Kenyan Drake
35. Derrius Guice
36. Latavius Murray
37. Kalen Ballage
38. Matt Breida
39. Jordan Howard
40. Rashaad Penny

Aside from demoting the Dallas Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott and Los Chargers' Melvin Gordon because of the risk presented by their contract situations (as preceded by Le'Veon Bell's holdout in 2018), a few other backs rise and fall here based on surrounding roster movement. Damien Williams gets bumped down to RB24 because of the Kansas City Chiefs' acquisition of LeSean McCoy. In Buffalo, Devin Singletary only gets pushed up to RB27 because the potential that he gets the lion's share of the workload vacated by McCoy might get stymied by his inexperience and a report from The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia that the timeless Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon will form a committee.

Two other significant deviants from standard ADP are the Cleveland Browns' Nick Chubb and Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Mixon. Despite their talents, the former is RB12 because it's likely that Kareem Hunt will eat into his workload once he returns from suspension in Week 10, while the latter drops to RB22 because of the game-script concerns presented by how horrible Cincinnati seems destined to be.

Wide Receiver

1. DeAndre Hopkins
2. Michael Thomas
3. Davante Adams
4. Julio Jones
5. Mike Evans
6. Odell Beckham Jr.
7. JuJu Smith-Schuster
8. Stefon Diggs
9. Antonio Brown
10. Robert Woods
11. Adam Thielen
12. Amari Cooper
13. Kenny Golladay
14. DJ Moore
15. Mike Williams
16. Robby Anderson
17. Calvin Ridley
18. Chris Godwin
19. Dede Westbrook
20. T.Y. Hilton
21. Josh Gordon
22. Alshon Jeffery
23. Brandin Cooks
24. Tyler Boyd
25. Julian Edelman
26. Cooper Kupp
27. Keenan Allen
28. Tyreek Hill
29. Dante Pettis
30. A.J. Green
31. Tyler Lockett
32. John Brown
33. Corey Davis
34. Will Fuller V
35. Sammy Watkins
36. Christian Kirk
37. Allen Robinson II
38. Marvin Jones Jr.
39. Marquez Valdes-Scantling
40. Marquise Brown

Most rankings have the Chiefs' Tyreek Hill expected to provide top-10 value as a fantasy player in 2019. Given Hill's on-field talents, that's certainly understandable, and no owner would be blamed for picking him early.

On the other hand, given Hill's history of arrests and allegations of abuse, no owner should be blamed for avoiding his risk and prioritizing players that are less likely to incur a suspension.

Tight End

1. Travis Kelce
2. George Kittle
3. Zach Ertz
4. O.J. Howard
5. Vance McDonald
6. Evan Engram
7. Hunter Henry
8. David Njoku
9. Austin Hooper
10. Mark Andrews
11. Jared Cook
12. Darren Waller
13. Eric Ebron
14. Trey Burton
15. Delanie Walker
16. Greg Olsen
17. Jack Doyle
18. T.J. Hockenson
19. Jimmy Graham
20. Gerald Everett
21. Chris Herndon
22. Kyle Rudolph
23. Jordan Reed
24. Jordan Thomas
25. Noah Fant

The biggest surprise here is probably the Oakland Raiders' Darren Waller, who rises to TE12 in our rankings. Tight end is often a wasteland of mediocrity so, with the retirement of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck burning Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle's value, Waller has the upside to jump into TE1 territory. Derek Carr loves targeting tight ends, as Jared Cook racked up 101 targets last season. As a converted wide receiver, Waller has the receiving talent to make a splash.

Cook is in New Orleans now, and Waller has the physical ability to walk into that receiving role if the offense remains similar and he can gain Carr's confidence.

Kicker

1. Greg Zuerlein
2. Justin Tucker
3. Stephen Gostkowski
4. Harrison Butker
5. Wil Lutz
6. Adam Vinatieri

10. Brett Maher
11. Michael Badgley
12. Matt Prater
13. Jason Myers
14. Graham Gano
15. Aldrick Rosas
16. Dan Bailey
17. Chris Boswell
18. Ryan Succop
19. Brandon McManus
20. Josh Lambo
21. Giorgio Tavecchio
22. Stephen Hauschka
23. Greg Joseph
24. Daniel Carlson
25. Zane Gonzalez
