Just don’t consider these high dollar ($million) dollar DFS leagues. More like 50/50s.

Great post on the rankings for fantasy football going in to week 9. It looks like you have ranked RBs and WRs higher than some of the best QBs in the league (i.e. Tom Brady). Did you do this because it is more likely for a QB to be consistent with their numbers, or because a RB or WR is more likely to break out for a big game and big numbers? I am curious on your thoughts behind this, but it is great that you create a ranking to share with your readers to help them make a decision based on their own research. I hope this helps me with my Draft Kings lineup for the coming week!
True, I suppose I am used to making better evaluations per the drafts that I participate in which QB’s are not drafted until around 5 round per the majority. Hope that makes sense.
Andy,
Man alive, am I glad I don’t play Fantasy. I can see from looking at the rankings that you have posted that you would need to know your Teams & Players. When I was looking at your post, it was like looking at French or Spanish. Do you do well in your winnings with this?
As I scaled down the list, I think I might be able to know what positions are played by the initials. As I am not much of a Sports Fan, but will definitely be learning here shortly around Thanksgiving.
Does Fantasy Sports cover only Football, or are there other Sports covered? Again, shows how much I know about Sports, etc.
Ah! I see Wayne. There is a lot of study and research to do. Start small and build your way up if you enjoy it.
