These rankings are a combination of statistical data and opinion, so they might not necessarily match up exactly with our projections. We've taken our projections and mixed in editorial analysis. We'll update these weekly throughout the regular season.
These are not rankings for the current or upcoming scoring period, but rather, they are for the entire season ahead. During the season, consider these rankings as a reference point when looking at free-agent pickups or possible trades. Injuries are accounted for, although some players expected to return after three or four months might not be represented here at all.
