Updated Top 250 Preseason Fantasy Rankings

Well, Julius Thomas is likely out for 4-5 weeks with a finger tendon injury (he's getting a second opinion).  So for those of you who drafted him (and as many of you saw, I did), it's now a much easier decision to drop him for a free agent--namely, Vernon Davis, who should be available in nearly every league.  I'm now the proud manager of Davis, making me much less of a hypocrite than I was a week ago.

Montee Ball is now officially Denver's #4 RB.  If he doesn't make the 53-man roster, I'd be shocked if another team didn't grab him.  Buffalo (minus Fred Jackson), Dallas (a troubling RBBC), and Cleveland (an even more troubling RBBC) might take a chance on him.  Or Oakland could decide that Latavius Murray needs a better backup than the historically lightly used Roy Helu.

If you're like me and got stuck with a streaming kicker in one of your leagues, take a look at Josh Scobee.  The Steelers just acquired him.  He's 33 and, aside from last season, has been very consistent in recent years, including from 50+.  Given the team's scoring potential, Scobee is now on the door of my top 250 list, ranked #11 among kickers.

Speaking of which, as always, you can find the up-to-the-minute (somewhat) top 250 rankings here:
