Harmon’s 2017 Fantasy QB Rankings

Breathe it in. Football returned this past week in earnest. Ratings were up in virtually every market for the first preseason telecasts, demonstrating the NFL’s power once again. Fans were treated to solid first outings from several rookie quarterbacks. Fantasy owners parsed through workloads, targets and snap counts to try and create separation in the lower tiers of their draft boards. And, that’s only for Week 1.

Let’s get to the heart of the matter. It’s time to rank the quarterbacks. As much as things are changing, the usual suspects top the list.
