HOW WE ARRIVED AT OUR RANKINGS:
The sources for our projections are ESPN, NFL.com and DailyDose.com's pre-season magazine 2008 statistical projections as well as Sportsline.com.
Stats used for QBs are: Passing TDs (4 pts), Passing YDs (1 pt / 25 yds), INTs (-1 pt), Rushing YDs (1 pt / 10 yds) and Rushing TDs (6 pts).
So, for example, if one of the sources projected 3000 yards passing (120 pts), 20 passing TDs (120 pts), 10 INTs (-10 pts), 100 yards rushing (10 pts) and 1
rushing TD (6 pts) for a QB in 2008, then the projection from that source for that QB would be 246 points (120 + 120 + (-10) + 10 + 6).
The process is repeated for each source and for every player. The theory is taking several expert opinions into consideration will result in a more
meaningful projection.
Our average projection is simply an average of the values from all 4 sources. The High and Low represent the highest and lowest value included in the
overall calculation. The range is the difference between the High and Low and is a measure of risk. The greater the range, the larger the difference in
expectations for the fantasy player determined by the experts.

Throughout the pre-season, we will make adjustments to these baseline projections. Check back for updates.
