IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY FOR FANTASY FOOTBALL

NICK BAKAY.COM POSITIONAL RANKINGS LIST:

I am honored to be asked to participate in numerous Fantasy Football magazine expert polls. and while we are often asked to compile our rankings way before training camp starts to unravel the contenders, the pretenders, and the wounded, I have done well over the years.

In fact, I am pleased to report that despite the fact that I am competing with elite, full time Fantasy Football pros, I just scored my second consecutive top-4 finish in Pro Forecast magazine.

So let's get to it -- here are my current ranks, tweaked a tad more since I filed them with the magazine. They are also destined to be tweaked a ton more between now and early September, but with all sorts of early Satelite drafts happening already around the cyber-world, I might as well hep you to my earliest lists.

Contrarian? Sure, but that's how you get a leg up on the big boys. Logic will follow in my next update.
