So I started ranking rookie players using a tier system that sorts players by their upside for fantasy football. I have spent a lot of time trying to develop this process, but a lot of it subjective and just based on what I have watched of the players as well as some opinions of others that I have read who noticed similar things. I have been busy so I have not watched as many players this year as I have the last 3 or 4 draft classes.
I feel that this rookie draft class is weaker at the skill positions than the previous two draft classes. I am no expert on college football but I have read similar opinions regarding this from people who do watch more college football than I do. I just watch cut ups of players once I know they have declared. Some players reputations precede this, but this season the only players to accomplish that for me are Elliot, Doctson,and Henry. That is a short list. I guess I did read and watch a bit of Shepherd two years ago, but I felt he was a tier 2 prospect then, somewhat reminds me of Stedman Bailey who I did like quite a bit before he got caught for juicing.
Anyhow 2016 rookie rankings
1st tier
Ezekiel Elliot
Josh Doctson
Carey Coleman
Laquon Treadwell
Devontae Booker
2nd tier
Derrick Henry
Will Fuller
Michael Thomas
Alex Collins
Sterling Shepherd
Tyler Boyd
Mike Thomas
Kenneth Dixon
3rd tier
Pharoh Cooper
Leonte Carroo
Jordan Howard
Rashard Higgins
DeAndre Washington
Braxton Miller
CJ Prosise
