FDH's Top 32 players in the NFL

By Rick Morris

In the summer of 2010, to examine the impact of the vaunted NBA free agent class, FDH ranked the top 30 players in the league (averaging one per team) to determine the true strength of the class. We decided this summer to reprise the concept with each of the “Big Four” sports in North America, with all of these serving as non-fantasy rankings. Today, we break down the NFL’s Top 32 overall (since there are 32 teams in the league), a feature we are serializing from FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFTOLOGY 2011.
