Player Classifications

From studs to duds and sleepers to busts, we'll help you gain an advantage on your competition with these fantasy football player classifications. Gambles, over the hill, contract year, super sleepers; we've got it all!
Studs
These fantasy football studs are the cream of the NFL crop. Fantasy studs are listed by position.
Super Solid
These may not be the top fantasy football players available, but once the fantasy studs are gone, these guys, who should be considered solid fantasy football players, are the next best scoring options.
Safe Picks
It takes dominant fantasy football players to keep you in contention, but you can separate yourself from the competition if you know who the safe picks are once the fantasy studs and the solid players are picked over.
Gambles
In fantasy football, sometimes you have to weigh in factors other than talent when selecting a player. Health issues or off-field distractions can make certain players fantasy football gambles. The question is, which ones are worth taking a risk on?
