2011 Fantasy Rankings: PPR - Keeper/Dynasty

The most popular leagues in fantasy football are PPR (Points Per Reception) leagues, and keeper/dynasty leagues. Probably because they're the most fun. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why. They're even funner if it's a combination of both, and I'm pretty sure "funner" isn't even a word. When I make up words, that should tell you how damn fun they are. These leagues need a whole new rankings list all to themselves and you're in luck my fun-lovin' compadre, because they're right here. No need to thank me. Unless you want to send cash. Then you should probably thank me multiple times a day.

You're eyeballs are about to get baptized with some fantasy football rankings, so prepare to feel uplifted and edified after reading them. I didn't add any analysis on these rankings, so take them for what they're worth. They're worth approximately $6 million U.S. dollars, which if you recall, is how you can thank me as I discussed earlier. Remember - cash only. On to the rankings, party people.
