I know several of you guys are Profootballfocus fans here, but not everyone is aware of that site nor what they do. Well they just published their dynasty rankings and rather than try to explain it myself, I will just quote their site here.

Each player’s score is calculated by factoring in age, past production, current and future projections, and by utilizing the Premium Stats found only at ProFootballFocus.com.

The original article can be found here. But I thought I would be a nice guy and provide a summary of the relevant Lions after the jump.

Matt Stafford: Ranked 10th QB overall. Just behind Matt Ryan and just ahead of Tom Brady.

Jahvid Best: Ranked 23rd RB overall. Just behind DeAngelo Williams and just ahead of Shonne Greene.

Calvin Johnson: Ranked 2nd WR overall. Just behind Hakeem Nicks and just ahead of Roddy White.

Brandon Pettigrew: Ranked 12th TE overall. Just behind Jermaine Gresham and just ahead of Jimmy Graham.

Shaun Hill Ranked 38th QB overall.

Maurice Morris Ranked 92nd RB overall.

Nate Burleson Ranked 62nd WR overall.

Tony Scheffler Ranked 27th TE overall.

You should all note too, that these rankings are relative to fantasy football. Anyways I think that is pretty encouraging, that a lot of our up and coming players on offense are considered to be top 10 or better in their positional groups compared to the rest of the league. And our 2nd string tight end is ranked ahead of some teams starters. I think we all know that the injury bug has been holding most if not all of our guys down too, very encouraging indeed.
