Updated rankings before the season starts. Assuming no ppr, start 1Q/2R/3W/1T, about 250 position players rostered.
Things are in flux and I haven't doublechecked everything, so a few guys may be out of place (especially in the last tier at RB & WR).
Previous rankings are from May:
RB,
WR,
QB,
TE.

A lot of the movement since May is based on changes in my perceptions of players' redraft value. Here are just a few comments on some of the movers:
I've come around on Joique Bell, after positive views on him from Adam Harstad & Football Outsiders convinced me to take another look. It is rare for a team to have 2 fantasy viable runners, but it is possible to sustain more than one RB if they're heavily involved in the passing game (as the Saints have shown). And it looks like Bush & Bell will both be heavily involved as receivers. Bell also looks to be in position to get the high-fantasy-value touches at the goalline, which gives him a role similar to what a young MJD had in Jacksonville (though MJD was obviously more talented, and unlike Fred Taylor, Bush will also get plenty of use as a receiver).
Jordy Nelson has re-signed in GB, and Cobb has not, which has caused a fairly large shift in their expected value. It's just a few spots in the rankings, but the dropoff in value is quite steep there. They have each moved a tier.
Geno Smith and EJ Manuel swap orders and grow a bit more of a gap between each other. Good QBs usually show something in their first two years, and in the past few months we've gotten some decent signs of what's likely to be coming in their second season (including the information that Kyle Orton is the veteran who has been lured out of retirement this year).
At TE, the veterans Vernon Davis & Witten slide behind some younger guys who I see as having roughly similar redraft value. I don't think that Davis or Witten is likely to give a big enough edge this year to be worth all that much as a win-now veteran.
