2011 Pre-Free Agency Consensus Fantasy Football Rankings

Right around the time the lockout ended, I wanted to make sure I captured a snap shot of where players were ranked going into free agency for the 2011 FF season. I think it will be particularly interesting to see where the needle moves with a number of these players as the preseason goes on and as we close in on the 2011 regular season and drafts.

These rankings were compiled from averaging the rankings from about 9 different sources. As the preseason continues, I will update these rankings and provide a little more insight and analysis.
