Gridiron Experts Early 30 Fantasy Forecast
Here at Grid-X, we not only give out our rankings, we also show you how we reached our decisions on how to grade each player. The following is a brief description on each of the categories we used to rank these players on a scale of 0-3:
- Weapons: Surrounding players to help put up big numbers
- System: A good understanding of the offensive system being run
- O-Line: How much time does the quarterback have, and history of giving up sacks
- Game Breaker: History of big fantasy games, or asked to just manage the game
- Injuries: Any nagging injuries or history of getting hurt
- X-Factor: Division / Strength of Schedule / Contract year for any of his receivers
