NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Kickoff to the 2018 NFL season is still four months away.
But the NFL Draft – and the bulk of free agency – is complete, so teams have taken shape.
And already, the fantasy football folks are weighing in.
This week, more than 20 men and women from ESPN, including fantasy writers and editors, NFL writers, researchers and other members of the football operation, met to discuss the season what to expect this fall. At ESPN, once the Fantasy Football Rankings Summit concluded, the group conducted its first mock draft of 2018.
So, where do the top Titans rank by position in the minds of those weighing in?
Also, NFL.com Fantasy analyst James Koh released his Top 200 fantasy players for 2018 list on Tuesday.
