Here are the cumulative results of the voting that took place at the FF Today board August 11th -14th. The FF Today Board members were asked to rank their top 30 WRs. The rankings are calculated using traditional polling measures so that a consensus can be reached. A big thank you to Kirk Hollis for his help on this feature.

Analysis: 28 voters, 28 votes for Randy Moss as the #1 WR in fantasy football for 2008. Tight races after that between Owens & Wayne...Fitzgerald, Johnson, & Colston, and Holt & Steve Smith. Apparently, the Geeks aren't that scared about Smith and Marshall's suspensions as they both still made it into the top fifteen. Pretty decent drop-offs exist after Jennings at #19 and again after Donald Driver at #28. Marvin Harrison continues to be a very difficult WR to rank as some had him in their top fifteen and many left him out of their top thirty altogether. Good group of WRs this year with solid depth all the way to #33. After that, the riskier picks emerge.

Rankings based on this scoring system:
» 1 pt for every 20 yards passing
» 1 pt for every 10 yards rushing or receiving
» 4 pts for every passed TD
» 6 pts for every rushed/received TD
