As player rankings have grown more sophisticated, the media has taken to adopting “tiers” as a way of trying to indicate that multiple players are on the same level as one another, none are better than the other. I normally view this as a way to try and avoid fanbases lashing out, and I suppose it’s a slightly more accurate way of tackling what’s become a yearly tradition. It’s become so ubiquitous that I find it kind of funny, but I’m not above hopping about a trend train once it’s left the station. Folks, we’ve got a tier of players next in our ranking, emphasis on tie.
