Welcome to the "Original" Dynasty Rankings Fantasy Football Blog

This blog was born out of a Dynasty Rankings thread originally begun in October, 2006 at the Footballguys.com message boards. The rankings in that thread and the ensuing wall-to-wall discussion of player values and dynasty league strategy took on a life of its own at over 275 pages and 700,000 page views. The result is what you see in the sidebar under "Updated Positional Rankings": a comprehensive ranking of dynasty league fantasy football players by position on a tiered, weighted scale. In the tradition of the original footballguys.com Dynasty Rankings thread, intelligent debate is welcome and encouraged.

In PPR fantasy leagues, Housh is superior to Chad Johnson.

I can buy the argument that Johnson is superior to Housh in "real life", but not in fantasy football.

Chris Wesseling said...

I disagree with that. In dynasty leagues, Chad Johnson's major talent edge plus his history of finishing in the Top 10 every year makes him more valuable no matter the league. Johnson is a borderline HOF level WR, while Housh is simply in the middle of very nice run of a few seasons. There's a much better chance of Housh seeing a precipitous drop in production than there is with Chad Johnson.

In my opinion, Housh is still ranked above a lot of guys who are more talented, and he's coming off a career year. The smart move is to sell high on him this off-season.
