2011 Ultimate Quantitative Baseline Rankings for Fantasy Football

NOTE: FDH’s Ultimate Quantitative Baseline fantasy football rankings serve as the ultimate measure of how players performed the previous season by measuring them against their peers proportionately in a number of categories according to the standard deviation from the mean. Using this baseline, 2011’s production can be most accurately calculated by adjusting the expectations up or down based on changing circumstances. 1600 and above represents the elite of the elite, 1550-1599 is elite, 1501-1549 is above average and 1500 is average. These numbers form a key component our draft board that will be in the forthcoming FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFTOLOGY 2011.
