The 2017 NFL preseason is officially a wrap. All 32 teams will cut down to 53 players on Saturday, but for purposes of fantasy football, only the deepest of dynasty leagues will be particularly concerned about the final cuts. There could be some trades that impact notable fantasy performers, but for the most part, you’re good to go with regard to notable injuries and the like.

Fantasy football drafts have been underway for a month now, with some keeper and dynasty leagues long since finished. However, we are entering Labor Day weekend, which is usually the biggest weekend of the year when it comes to fantasy football drafts. And for those of you at the top of the draft, it’s perfect timing with word that Le’Veon Bell is reporting to the Pittsburgh Steelers to start the season!
Whether you’re in a keeper league or a single-year redraft league, we have a host of information to help you get ready. Whether you are looking for basic position rankings, potential sleepers and busts to consider, the best rookies available, or just who you really should consider No. 1 overall, we’ve got plenty of information to get you as prepared as possible for your 2017 fantasy football draft.
We open with our draft guide and updated rankings for the top 150 overall and each of the seven position types.

Fantasy football drafts are exciting at the top with the big names, but to win a championship, you need to find the right combination of sleepers, while avoiding likely busts. There will be players in the early rounds who flame out, and you’ll find a player in round 10 or 11 who is the key to victory. And it is a guarantee some will be found on the waiver wire as the season progresses. Each week, we have taken a look at how potential sleepers and busts have performed to give you an idea of whom to consider and avoid in your drafts. Here is our full rundown of the preseason:

There is a host of new rookies in the NFL each season, and they can be critical to your success. If you are in a dynasty or keeper league, they hold a little more value, but even in single-year leagues, there will be rookies worth considering in your drafts. Here is our full rundown of preseason rookie performances.
