Each week The Kommish will be putting out his projected top 10 rankings at the QB, RB, WR, and TE position for the upcoming round of games. The rankings are based on stability of performance, matchups, and general potential awesomeness of the player at their respective position.
Since we are now in the NFL playoffs the player pool is significantly reduced, and that will be accounted for in the projections. Good luck!
