2012 Top 100 Rankings are based on a single season re-draft fantasy football league for the 2012 season. 2012 Top 100 Rankings are established for a standard fantasy football scoring system, with scoring categories including: Passing Yards: 1 point = 20 passing yards / Rushing Yards: 1 point = 10 rushing yards / Receiving Yards: 1 point = 10 receiving yards / Passing Touchdown: 4 points / Rushing/Receiving Touchdown: 6 points / Interceptions: -2 points / Fumbles Lost: -2 points
A *RISING* or *FALLING* status is included after player names, based on their potential to rise in the rankings heading into the 2012 season. Each players age is listed after their name.
