How do you choose between rankings and projections?

During both your fantasy draft and the regular season, you will be constantly hit over the head with rankings and projections. With so many sources generating these numbers, they must be useful, right?

In these fantasy analyatics, they break down how to choose between rankings or projections. They go on to say: "Some people argue that the top RB/QB/WR scores about the same number of points every year, so their position ranking matters more their projections. However, there is often considerable variability in actual fantasy points from year to year for the same position rank. For instance, there was a 60+ point difference in the top RB from 2008 to 2009 and a 50+ point difference in the top RB from 2014 to 2015 (according to Pro-Football-Reference.com). "
