Every year in August, I comprise a sort of “cheat sheet” for the upcoming fantasy football season. It is essentially a broad overview of position rankings, sleepers, busts, and almost any way you can categorize players in fantasy football. In the past, some of my highlights include predicting Doug Martin and Allen Robinson as sleepers in 2015 and calling Michael Thomas incredible rookie season.
