Fantasy: 2012 Dynasty Rankings
Updated: May 13, 2012
One of the new features for our dynasty rankings is a player category (CAT). Descriptions of these categories are as follows:
Cornerstone Player (C) – Elite level talents with three or more productive seasons remaining.
Transition Player (T) – Players with three or less productive seasons remaining. These players are buy candidates for contending teams or sell candidates for rebuilding teams.
Foundation Player (F) – Players with three or more productive seasons remaining that are the core of your team.
Rankings are based on PPR scoring formats.
Ages are reflective as of May 13, 2012.
(On most browsers, you can hit ctrl-F and type a player’s name to find them quickly.)
