A really good way to doubt yourself is to do fantasy football consensus rankings. When you have a running back ranked 19th overall and more than half of your ranker friends have him No. 1? You start to think about things. You start to wonder if you’re the crazy one.
Fantasy football rankings 2015: An updated Top 150 overall players
The weekend coming up will feature a lot of drafts. Here’s a little more help to get you going. We’ve got our updated Top 150 fantasy football rankings heading into Week 3 of the 2015 NFL preseason.

What it does, even if you don't change your mind, is make you do more research. You might form your opinions confidently, but every piece of new information matters. You take all the new information, you combine it with injury news (we'll miss you, Jordy Nelson and Kelvin Benjamin) and you form a new ranking of your top 150. You remain steadfast that Adrian Peterson is overrated coming into the year, but you do bump him up one spot.
The next thing you do is publish that top 150 without the input of your silly co-rankers, so you have no reason to doubt yourself again.
(Kidding. We’ll be doing a staff consensus re-rank over the next week. But with so many drafts coming this weekend, the least we could do is have a new top 150 out for Friday. Tune in next week if you like other people’s opinions more than mine. Heck, we already got your click.)
