All of our work, all offseason, comes to its natural end here heading into the NFL draft, after which, everything will have to be assimilated, re-shuffled and re-stacked from top-to-bottom for fantasy purposes.

NFL landing spot and opportunity are critical for fantasy as we all know. But headed into the actual draft, this is the culmination of all of our data – from the eyeball-test at all the offseason events we attend live, to the buzz from the scouting community, to our statistical production models, to Trashman’s trait-based matrices, along with much more. We go on record today with our final staff rankings for the the incoming 2021 RB and WR classes.

Stay tuned to the site on Sunday and Monday as we’ll be rolling out V.1 of the EPIC dynasty draft cheat sheet for 2021 rookie drafts and the BIG update to the Best-Ball Cheat Sheet v.4.0 to account for rookie landing spots within the skeleton.

In the meantime, we hope you can use the lists as a supplement to your NFL draft viewing this week/weekend to see where your boys at RW have certain players stacked up when they come off the board.

Enjoy the draft, RosterWatch Nation.
