Dustin James' 2014-15 NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

If you're a smart football fan (that's kind of an oxymoron since "fan" is short for "fanatic" and "fanatics" aren't known for thinking clearly), you waited until this weekend to do your fantasy football draft. I shake my head every year when fantasy football players who have no patience at all start drafting at the beginning of August. They do realize that there are still numerous pre-season games to be played and injuries happen in those games, right? It makes no sense at all to hold your fantasy draft that early, besides the fact that you just have no patience. It pays to be patient and that saying is true in fantasy football. With all that said, I present to you....my fantasy football rankings that are guaranteed (or not) to win your fantasy football league. So without further adieu.....here you are:
