As the way of the goose, or some sort of idiomatic phrase attempting to explain current times, PGs are the most prevalent position early in rankings. Having the ball in your hands in today’s NBA is good enough to be fantasy worthy. Just ask Michael-Carter Williams. With 10 guys PG eligible in my top-20, I’m heavy on the PG like Chunk on Baby Ruth. Remember, these positions are broken down on Yahoo position eligibility (view all top 200 here), so there won’t be direct positional crossover to other fantasy sites:
2013-2014 Fantasy PG Rankings
(updated Oct. 8)
| POS RANK | OVERALL RANK | PLAYER, POS, TEAM | NOTE |
| 1 | 4 | Chris Paul, PG, LAC | Game’s best PG, will be leaned on to do everything for Doc. |
| 2 | 5 | Stephen Curry, PG/SG, GS | A little worried about career ankle issues, no Jarrett Jack. |
| 3 | 7 | Kyrie Irving, PG, CLE | The additional bigs should give Kyrie all sorts of room to drive and dish. |
| 4 | 8 | John Wall, PG, WAS | Love Wall, was a first-round talent in last two months of 12-13, healthy offseason. |
| 5 | 11 | Derrick Rose, PG, CHI | I buy the perimeter game offseason work, excited for a really big season. |
| 6 | 13 | Deron Williams, PG, BKN | I buy the perimeter game offseason work, excited for a really big season/big Asts. |
| 7 | 14 | Ricky Rubio, PG, MIN | Another point I buy the improved perimeter game, fully recovered from ACL. |
| 8 | 16 | Dwayne Wade, PG/SG, MIA | Career-high FG% in 12-13, another solid year ahead. |
| 9 | 18 | Damian Lillard, PG, POR | Buying offseason improvements, FG% to go up, big season. |
| 10 | 24 | Ty Lawson, PG, DEN | No Gallinari, no Iguodala, will have to do it all. |
| 11 | 29 | Tony Parker, PG, SA | Fire to win the title, elite when healthy. |
| 12 | 30 | Jeff Teague, PG, ATL | Will be on all my teams, Millsap will help efficiency, one of my big breakouts. |
| 13 | 32 | Mike Conley, PG, MEM | Boosted scoring, assists, fewer TOs when Gay left. |
| 14 | 33 | ↓ Russell Westbrook, PG, OKC | Injury changes everything, don’t like knee injury for guy that relies on explosiveness. |
| 15 | 39 | Brandon Jennings, PG, DET | Could be elite, could go 2-17 some nights. Another high risk/reward talent in DET. |
| 16 | 51 | Kemba Walker, PG, CHA | Lower than almost anywhere else, don’t think Jefferson fixes bad FG%, low Asts. |
| 17 | 53 | Monta Ellis, PG/SG, DAL | Excited to see him play with Dirk, should have a solid season, slight scoring dip. |
| 18 | 54 | ↓ Jrue Holiday, PG, NO | While #1 NO scorer/disher, I find myself never coming close to Jrue at original #42 rank in drafts thus far. |
| 19 | 56 | Trey Burke, PG, UTA | I’m still ready to take the big risk despite horrible Summer League showing. |
| 20 | 60 | George Hill, PG/SG, IND | Quiet, unassuming, steady production. |
| 21 | 61 | Eric Bledsoe, PG/SG, PHX | Flashed brilliance when starting, polarizing fantasy ranks, big upside. |
| 22 | 62 | ↑ Jose Calderon, PG, DAL | I said in the original full rankings I needed to move him up, so I did. |
| 23 | 65 | Goran Dragic, PG, PHX | Still upside there, and despite a “bust” last year, still produced at this rank’s level. |
| 24 | 71 | Rajon Rondo, PG, BOS | No need to rush him back in a big rebuilding year – despite him saying he’s already mentally ready. |
| 25 | 75 | Greivis Vasquez, PG/SG, SAC | Think there’s multi-cat upside, but ankle injury and IT2 issues remain. |
| 26 | 79 | Kyle Lowry, PG, TOR | You know you’re getting good production, but only when he’s on the floor. |
| 27 | 85 | Brandon Knight, PG/SG, MIL | Still very young, think with actual talent around him could emerge. |
| 28 | 87 | Jeremy Lin, PG, HOU | Some upside with reports he and Dwight looking good from the Dream, great Stls. |
| 29 | 93 | Raymond Felton, PG/SG, NY | Still driving a high-powered offense, think Beno Udrih eats into a few minutes. |
| 30 | 95 | Steve Nash, PG, LAL | 39, lots of injuries last year, but still top 100 value. |
| 31 | 97 | Jamal Crawford, PG/SG, LAC | Will duplicate what we saw last year, which was top 100 worthy. |
| 32 | 102 | Isaiah Thomas, PG, SAC | An unreal second half, potential is there but stifled by new regime/Vasquez. |
| 33 | 110 | Jameer Nelson, PG, ORL | Oladipo to play some at point, everyone healthy right now, avoiding. |
| 34 | 118 | Jarrett Jack, PG/SG, CLE | Wahhhhhh, I’m Jarrett Jack! Will find time at the 2 late in games. |
| 35 | 119 | Michael Carter-Williams, PG, PHI | The FG% will be terrible, but minutes and opportunity are there for the gamble. |
| 36 | 122 | ↑ Reggie Jackson, PG, OKC | Sure he’s only got the starting gig until Westbrook is back, but Jackson will still get minutes as Russell is eased back in and tremendous upside to start the year. |
| 37 | 124 | Randy Foye, PG/SG, DEN | Gallinari hurt, no Brewer, no Iggy, no Koufos, Denver will need scoring. |
| 38 | 141 | Ramon Sessions, PG/SG, CHA | Was on his way to a great 12-13 before a knee injury, should still see good mins. |
| 39 | 146 | Nate Robinson, PG/SG, DEN | Not a fan, but will get some run as the 1/2 off the bench and is being reported he could play some with Lawson in shortest backcourt ever. Next they’ll bring in Spud Webb. |
| 40 | 147 | Andre Miller, PG, DEN | Played in every game past 2 years, Nate Robinson steals the possible min. uptick. |
| 41 | 150 | Lou Williams, PG/SG, ATL | Still recovering from the ACL, will be eased in, but still 2nd half upside. |
| 42 | 152 | Avery Bradley, PG/SG, BOS | You don’t really want any of the Celtics gaurds, but they’ll play. |
| 43 | 159 | Mario Chalmers, PG, MIA | He plays… |
| 44 | 171 | Mo Williams, PG/SG, POR | Probably seeing the fewest minues since a rook, still will find time late in games. |
| 45 | 172 | Darren Collison, PG, LAC | Think he could see a tad of time at the 2, Bledsoe had value behind Paul too. |
| 46 | 190 | Jason Terry, PG/SG, BKN | Won’t have much value unless Deron gets hurt, but very possible given history. |
| 47 | 191 | D.J. Augustin, PG, TOR | Not as good in fantasy as Terry, more likely Lowry gets hurt and D.J. gets mins. |
| 48 | 192 | Toney Douglas, PG/SG, GS | Can score off the bench in a fast-paced offense, Curry’s ankles iffy. |
