Our weekly rankings are based on an average ranking from Yahoo! Sports, ESPN, Sportsline and SI.  
Our viewpoint is that it is better to smooth out the variation in recommendations from different
sources and arrive at more useful data.  The highest and lowest ranking is included as well so you
can see how greatly the "gurus" differ in their opinions.

Note: In determining our rankings, if a player is not included in a source's weekly rankings, it is
assumed that the player would receive the next spot.  For example, Sportsline ranked 40 RBs.  If a
RB wasn't on their list, we put him at 41 since there is no way to know whether he would be 41, 42,
etc.
