If you have ever played fantasy football, you know that quarterback is the most plentiful position, with tons of solid starters available for pickup off of the waiver wire, and running back is the most scarce, with very little top-flight talent. What I set out to do was to truly quantify the “Wins Above Replacement” of each Fantasy Football Player, by creating a “replacement-level” baseline for each position (essentially a player that you could pick up off of the waiver wire throughout the year), and then calculating which players had the most projected 2014 points above their position’s replacement level. Using 2014 projections from DraftShark.com (future projections may change, due to drawing on a combination of different projection services when they put out their 2014 projections, such as NumberFire or ESPN), I created the CornerThree WAR Top 200 Fantasy Football Players for 2014 (based off of PPR fantasy football).

Some notes on these rankings: Josh Gordon’s projection has been hurt by his uncertain future, which finds him with a WAR around replacement level, because he could play 4, 16 or 0 games this season.
One find that somewhat surprised me was how many WRs stayed at the top of the rankings, with DeMariyus Thomas hitting the top 5.

Corner Three 
wonderful points altogether, you simply won a new reader.
What might you suggest in regards to your put up
that you just made some days ago? Any certain?
