(#100) AFC South + NFC South Redraft Review and Projections

Today's show finishes the redraft divisional series with the AFC South and NFC South. Additionally, I discuss the NFLSE 2026 WR Rankings in the endnotes.

Still not much in the way of longer write-ups this week. Next week will feature primarily a 12 or 13 Round 12-Team 1QB Redraft mock draft, and there may be some write-ups associated with the strategy there.

For today’s post, I have the last set of projections including now the full projections for the entire NFL as well as my most recent update of my own rankings. I’m still tinkering with some of this, but essentially these rankings and numbers are the result of the process this show has been going through the past month or so.

AFC/NFC South Projections:

FULL Projections:

If there are any inconsistencies, I would lean on the Full Projections page being the most updated.

2025 Redraft Rankings (June)

These rankings are adjusted— including positionally— for this player pool in a 12-Team, 1QB, Half-PPR, 0 TEP League with 3 WRs and 1 Flex. Most of those are minimal changes, but the QB Rankings in particular can be dictated largely by the number of teams and the differences between 1QB and SF. Do keep that in mind when the QB7 almost falls outside the top 100 in this year’s player pool.

Tiers are very rough, and there are likely tiers within those tiers, but right now the dash breaks are some of the biggest differentiating points for me between players generally speaking.

It is admittedly a bit about the Summer, but I also don’t want to repeat my write-ups too much, so most of the commentary that is re-draft specific will be found on the next post, which will include a Clicky draft board that will show every pick for the Mock Draft that I will be discussing on the episode of the Fantasy for Real podcast.

Thanks,

C.J.
