2014 Return on Investment Preview

Welcome to the 2014 Return on Investment Preview! 

In these posts, I will compare the positional ranks of various players as determined by their draft day values with their in-season ranks according to their fantasy points production. In this first iteration, we'll look at how each team spent their money and show you how their players rank among all drafted players. 

*PLEASE NOTE: You will see some repeated rankings due to the fact that in an auction draft the values players are determined by the amount of money spent on the players, and some players are drafted for the same amount of money, even within a given position. In the same vein, you may notice some "missing" rankings due to the fact that multiple players in a given position were drafted at the same value. For example, there is no RB5 because Matt Forte and Eddie Lacy both went for $60, which valued them both at RB4. The next RB, DeMarco Murray, went for $58, and he is a labelled as RB6. 

Here are the team breakdowns (in no particular order).
