How it works: The rankings are a combination of a player's total season points, his points per game average and their average ranking per week across the season. Having the most points per week doesn't necessarily mean that player was the best of the week, however.

For example, a player with 10 points against the 15th ranked defense will be ranked lower than the player with 9 points against the 5th ranked defense. We tracked this progress through each week of the season and the results showed which player could most be counted on even against the stiffest competition.
