Dynasty Football Rankings: Pre-Free Agency Update

January 21, 2021 by Meng Song Leave a Comment   |  FFA_Meng

FantraxHQ is the official content sponsor of Fantrax.com, the hottest Fantasy Site of 2018 and 2019.
Week 10 NFL Injury Report

These dynasty football rankings are fluid and should be used as a general guide to value players. Many players’ values are dependent on whether a roster is ready to contend for a title or in the process of rebuilding. As such, certain veterans ranked below younger prospects in my rankings could still be worth acquiring in a trade straight up for a contender, and some high-upside prospects may make more sense for a rebuilding team even if ranked below some veteran producers at the position.

The coming influx of a talented 2021 rookie class will shake up superflex dynasty rankings quite a bit, but incoming rookies like Ja’Marr Chase and Najee Harris aren’t yet included in the rankings below. Taking into account team need and roster construction, here are my updated top-200 dynasty football rankings assuming a standard 1QB format with PPR scoring (you can find my superflex rankings here). Players are are still listed with their current teams but ranked accordingly based on the likelihood of them or teammates leaving in free agency as well as other potential status changes. And be sure to check back for updated dynasty rankings after free agency and again after the 2021 NFL Draft!


Say what?! Your dynasty football league didn’t use Fantrax last year? Unthinkable! Check out all the features Fantrax has to offer, and we think you’ll be singing a different tune for the coming season.
