The NFL regular season is set to start in just three short weeks, which means it’s time to draft your fantasy football teams for the upcoming year.

Veteran fantasy football analysts Tom Brolley and Joe Dolan have provided their industry-best draft rankings to the Centre Daily Times. Be sure to check out The Fantasy Free Agents website for more in-depth fantasy articles and podcasts this season, including their Draft Plan series from this past week.

Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck took a tumble down this week’s rankings because of an ankle injury while New York Jets QB Sam Darnold climbed off another strong preseason performance.

Former Penn State RB Miles Sanders continues to rise based on his strong training camp while Miami’s Kenyan Drake fell down draftboards because of a foot injury.

At wide receiver, Oakland’s Antonio Brown, Indianapolis’ T.Y. Hilton, Dallas’ Amari Cooper, and Los Angeles’ Keenan Allen have drafters concerned in the first three rounds because of small camp injuries.

And at tight end, former Nittany Lion Mike Gesicki fell again this week as he continues to underwhelm at Dolphins training camp
