Welcome to the 2021 Fantasy Football Rankings (NFL Draft Update) article!
Now that the NFL Draft has concluded, it’s time to update my rankings! I added 23 rookies and eight veterans to the list. I have also omitted Deshaun Watson from my quarterback rankings until we get a clearer picture on his 2021 status.
