Want to win your fantasy football league in 2021? We can help you with that. Here, at long last, are the 2021 SportsChasers fantasy rankings for standard scoring.

While we’d always advise you to trust your own instincts, these rankings may help you choose between players you’re undecided on if you haven’t already drafted. If you have, you’re on your own.

Potential suspension and injury questions are baked into these rankings. Deshaun Watson is low because of the high potential for suspension or sitting out. Michael Thomas is low because he’ll miss significant time with injury. Dak Prescott and Saquon Barkley are a few spots lower than I’d ordinarily have them because of the strong possibility that they won’t be 100 percent in Week One after suffering major injuries last season.

Play in a PPR league? Bump pass-catching RBs and prolific WRs like Jarvis Landry and Cole Beasley up a few spots. Play in a league with crazy bonus points? Check your settings and plan accordingly.

Another tip: Stash some upside on your bench. While it’s important to make sure you’re covered with players who can step in should one of your starters get injured, carving out room for a potential lottery ticket like Trey Lance (if/when he takes over for Jimmy Garoppolo) or Brandin Cooks (in case Deshaun Watson plays) could turn a good roster into a league-winner.

Above all, remember: Even if you bomb your draft, it’s not the end of the season. There are going to be injuries to top starters during the season, particularly to running backs. Leagues are often won by managers who keep their eye on the wire and, when injuries happen, are quick enough to grab the next man up.
