Welcome to part two of the 2013 fantasy football draft position index ratings series. Part one can be found here. The index standard is 100, so a rating of “100” is equivalent to “average.” A rating of 110 means “10 percent above average,” etc., etc. The index data came from dozens of mock drafts ran using the FantasyPros mock draft simulator (which can be found at PFF Fantasy), and the projections come from PFF Fantasy’s own Mike Clay.
The starters for the mocks were 1-QB, 2-RB, 3-WR, 1-TE, and 1-Flex (RB/WR/TE) in a points-per-reception (PPR) league. Only skill position starters are included in the draft position index (which means bench players are not included). Essentially, this data is meant to help you during the most crucial part of your draft – the first 8-10 rounds. The first article dealt with the index ratings and what it means for each drafter in a 12-team league.
Instead of using index rating numbers like 100 or 101.4, this article will use the average projected points per game for each position (QB, RB, WR, TE, Flex) at each draft position (1-12). It is the same data shown another way. If that sounds a little confusing, don’t worry – once you see the first chart you’ll know exactly what you're looking at.
