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.

Quote of the Day | October 31, 2008: The Raven

The Raven The Simpsons


Edgar Allen Poe's 1845 masterpiece, "The Raven":

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
" 'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more."

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had tried to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore —
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore —
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me — filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
" 'Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door —
Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door; —
This it is, and nothing more."

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you" — here I opened wide the door; ——
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"
Merely this, and nothing more.

Then into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon I heard again a tapping somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore —
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—
'Tis the wind, and nothing more!"

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door —
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door —
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning — little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no sublunary being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door —
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore."

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he uttered — not a feather then he fluttered —
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before —
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

Wondering at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster — so, when Hope he would adjure,
Stern Despair returned, instead of the sweet Hope he dared adjure —
That sad answer, "Nevermore!"

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore —
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by angels whose faint foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee — by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite — respite and Nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Let me quaff this kind Nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! — prophet still, if bird or devil! —
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted —
On this home by Horror haunted — tell me truly, I implore —
Is there — is there balm in Gilead? — tell me — tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! — prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us — by that God we both adore —
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore —
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting —
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! — quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted — nevermore!

Quarterback Rankings | October 30, 2008

QUARTERBACKS

TIER ONE

1. Drew Brees, NO | Age: 29.6 | Value Score: 99
Currently the best quarterback in the NFL.

2. Peyton Manning, IND | Age: 32.5 | Value Score: 98

3. #Tony Romo, DAL | Age: 28.4 | Value Score: 97
Maybe some short-term misery with the broken pinkie, but the Roy Williams trade will make it all worthwhile in the long run. Romo now has the best tight end in the league, two Top-20 wide receivers, and a dominant rushing game. He's set up for major success the next five seasons.

4. Jay Cutler, DEN | Age: 25.3 | Value Score: 96
The leap has been made.

TIER TWO

5. [#]Tom Brady, NE | Age: 31.1 | Value Score: 88
Wading through all of the muck and the mire, it sounds to me like Brady still has a chance to be ready to play by training camp. The infection is worrisome, but Brady's upside isn't worth giving up for any of the second tier guys.

6. #Ben Roethlisberger, PIT | Age: 26.5 | Value Score: 87

7. Aaron Rodgers, GB | Age: 24.8 | Value Score: 86
He just keeps impressing more and more each week. May be injury prone, but you can take "soft" off the list of concerns for Favre's replacement. Rodgers has played in considerable pain and is still coming through with fantastic numbers.

8. Philip Rivers, SD | Age: 26.8 | Value Score: 85
It's unheard of to be playing the best football of your career fresh off of ACL surgery. Kudos to Rivers and his offseason backers.

9. Donovan McNabb, PHI | Age: 31.7 | Value Score: 84
Still elite.

TIER THREE

10. Kurt Warner, ARI | Age: 37.3 | Value Score: 74
A top tier QB for as long as he starts in Arizona.

11. Matt Ryan, ATL | Age: 23.3 | Value Score: 73
Had already established himself as a rookie Franchise QB, but now we're talking possible stud in the making. Builders will obviously prefer Ryan to Warner, but I'm a contender and there's no way I trade Warner for Ryan.

12. #Matt Schaub, HOU | Age: 27.2 | Value Score: 71
Fourth in the NFL in yards per game, Schaub has the Texans offense putting up 25-30 points every week.

13. Eli Manning, NYG | Age: 27.6 | Value Score: 70

TIER FOUR

14. #Carson Palmer, CIN | Age: 28.7 | Value Score: 60
The elbow injury is problematic enough, but there's no light at the end of the tunnel in Cincinnati. The Bengals have started the season 0-7 for the fifth time since Mike Brown took over control of the franchise in 1991. No other team has done it more than twice.

15. Trent Edwards, BUF | Age: 24.9 | Value Score: 61
The young franchise QB is sailing along with a 70.0 completion rate, 8.0 yards per attempt, and a 98.8 QB rating. Now if he can just do something about that low TD total.

16. David Garrard, JAX | Age: 30.5 | Value Score: 58
Starting to show 2007 form, making plays with his arm and his legs.

17. Brady Quinn, CLE | Age: 23.9 | Value Score: 51
My guess: Quinn gets his first start in the NFL Network Thursday night game against the Broncos in Week 10.

18. Jason Campbell, WAS | Age: 26.7 | Value Score: 50
He's shown dramatic game-to-game inconsistency ever since he took over in 2006.

TIER FIVE

19. Jake Delhomme, CAR | Age: 33.6 | Value Score: 36

20. #Matt Hasselbeck, SEA | Age: 33.0 | Value Score: 34
Who is he going to be throwing to this year? With the Seahawks making an effort to upgrade the running game, he can't count on abnormally high passing attempt numbers again; I'm staying far away from Hass this season.

21. Joe Flacco, BAL | Age: 23.7 | Value Score: 33

22. Vince Young, TEN | Age: 25.3 | Value Score: 32

23. #Kyle Orton, CHI | Age: 25.8 | Value Score: 31
I've been a skeptic, but it's time to give credit where credit is due. Orton is spreading the ball around extremely well and makes for a fine QB2.

24. Brett Favre, NYJ | Age: 38.9 | Value Score: 30

25. Marc Bulger, STL | Age: 31.4 | Value Score: 28
Still at the helm of a poor offense, but at least he has the support of his new coach. Don't rule out the Rams getting frisky on offense in the second half.

TIER SIX

26. Derek Anderson, CLE | Age: 25.2 | Value Score: 20
With a completion rate south of 50% and a feeble 5.4 yards per attempt, Anderson isn't long for the starting job. Perhaps Kansas City or Minnesota will want him in 2009.

27. Matt Leinart, ARI | Age: 25.3 | Value Score: 20

28. Chad Henne, MIA | Age: 23.2 | Value Score: 19
Will take over for Pennington at some point this season.

29. Kevin Kolb, PHI | Age: 24.0 | Value Score: 18

30. Drew Stanton, DET | Age: 24.4 | Value Score: 17
Culpepper flirtation isn't a great show of faith and offensive coordinator swears he's not ready.

31. JaMarcus Russell, OAK | Age: 23.1 | Value Score: 16
One step forward, three giant steps back.

32. Shaun Hill, SF | Age: 28.7 | Value Score: 15

33. Chad Pennington, MIA | Age: 32.2 | Value Score: 14

TIER SIX

34. Sage Rosenfels, HOU | Age: 30.5 | Value Score: 8
The Practically Perfect Backup QB hits the free agent market in 2010.

35. Jeff Garcia, TB | Age: 38.5 | Value Score: 6
Maybe he has another year in him after all.

36. Brian Brohm, GB | Age: 22.9 | Value Score: 7

37. Colt Brennan, WAS | Age: 25.0 | Value Score: 7

38. Josh Johnson, TB | Age: 22.4 | Value Score: 5

39. Byron Leftwich, PIT | Age: 28.6 | Value Score: 4

40. Daunte Culpepper, DET | Age: 31.7 | Value Score: 4

41. Matt Cassel, NE | Age: 26.3 | Value Score: 4

42. Gus Frerotte, MIN | Age: 37.2 | Value Score: 4

TIER SEVEN

43. Kerry Collins, TEN | Age: 35.7 | Value Score: 3

44. J.P. Losman, BUF | Age: 27.5 | Value Score: 3
Free agent after 2008 season.

45. Dennis Dixon, PIT | Age: 23.7 | Value Score: 3

46. Kevin O'Connell, NE | Age: 23.5 | Value Score: 3

47. Tarvaris Jackson, MIN | Age: 25.4 | Value Score: 3

48. Seneca Wallace, SEA | Age: 28.1 | Value Score: 3

49. Ryan Fitzpatrick, CIN | Age: 25.8 | Value Score: 3

50. J.T. O'Sullivan, SF | Age: 29.0 | Value Score: 3
Coming off a four-fumble, two-interception game, O'Sullivan can no longer be seen as a realistic long-term option.

TIER NINE

51. *Michael Vick, ATL | Age: 28.2 | Value Score: 2
How large is your roster?

52. Tyler Thigpen, KC | Age: 24.4 | Value Score: 2
Human Turnover Machine

53. Luke McCown
, TB | Age: 27.2 | Value Score: 2

54. Troy Smith, BAL | Age: 24.2 | Value Score: 2

55. #Matt Moore, CAR | Age: 24.1 | Value Score: 2
Awful preseason lowers expectations about taking over for Delhomme anytime soon.

56. Rex Grossman, CHI | Age: 28.0 | Value Score: 2

57. [#]Jon Kitna, DET | Age: 36.0 | Value Score: 2

58. Quinn Gray, KC | Age: 29.3 | Value Score: 2

59. #Dan Orlovsky, DET | Age: 25.1 | Value Score: 2

60. Kellen Clemens, NYJ | Age: 25.3 | Value Score: 2

61. #Brian Griese, TB | Age: 33.5 | Value Score: 2

62. [#]Alex Smith, SF | Age: 24.3 | Value Score: 2

64. Brett Ratliff, NYJ | Age: 23.1 | Value Score: 1

65. John David Booty, MIN | Age: 24.2 | Value Score: 1

66. John Beck, MIA | Age: 27.1 | Value Score: 1

67. Charlie Whitehurst, SD | Age: 26.1 | Value Score: 1

68. Andre Woodson, NYG | Age: 24.4 | Value Score: 1

69. [#]Brodie Croyle, KC | Age: 25.5 | Value Score: 1
Recently placed on injured reserve and even his biggest booster, Herm Edwards, is ready to move on with a different QB in 2009.

70. Chris Simms, TEN | Age: 28.0 | Value Score: 1

71. Trent Green, STL | Age: 38.2 | Value Score: 1

72. Cleo Lemon, JAX | Age: 29.1 | Value Score: 1

Running Back Rankings | October 30, 2008

RUNNING BACKS

TIER ONE

1. Adrian Peterson, MIN | Age: 23.5 | Value Score: 100
Simply the most talented player on the field [click here].

2. #Steven Jackson, STL | Age: 25.1 | Value Score: 97
As Ronnie Brown proved in the first half of 2007, elite running back talents can succeed on poor teams.

3. Chris Johnson, TEN | Age: 22.9 | Value Score: 97
See here for explanation of high ranking.

TIER TWO

4. Frank Gore, SF | Age: 25.2 | Value Score: 91

5. Brian Westbrook, PHI | Age: 29.0 | Value Score: 91

6. Marion Barber III, DAL | Age: 25.3 | Value Score: 88

7. Maurice Jones-Drew, JAX | Age: 23.4 | Value Score: 86
Fred Taylor recently acknowledged that MJD's time is now, but more importantly it's obvious that the Jags see him as the feature back in the post-Taylor era. He's due for more consistent carries.

8. Marshawn Lynch, BUF | Age: 22.4 | Value Score: 85

9. LaDainian Tomlinson, SD | Age: 29.2 | Value Score: 85
The ominous signs are coming like traps in a Freddy Krueger movie: Father Time fast approaching with age 30 on the horizon, 3,000 career touches, the toe injury, an offensive line not blocking well, and no indication that the season will turn around any time soon.

10. Clinton Portis, WAS | Age: 27.0 | Value Score: 84
Portis presents quite the conundrum. At 117 rushing yards per game, contenders need to ride the hot hand this season. Builders, on the other hand, owe it to themselves to move a RB who will be 28-years-old, coming off a possible 370-carry season, and a career-long history of heavy workloads and violent collisions.

TIER THREE

11. Ronnie Brown, MIA | Age: 26.7 | Value Score: 77
We knew ACL surgeries weren't the death sentence they used to be, but it now appears that they're merely a minor setback. Running with impressive power and patience, it's obvious that Brown is the fulcrum of the Dolphins offense.

12. #Reggie Bush, NO | Age: 23.5 | Value Score: 75
Missing a stretch of games with a knee injury for the second year in a row.

13. Matt Forte, CHI | Age: 22.7 | Value Score: 74
Dwindling yards per carry and heavy workload slightly disconcerting.

14. Jonathan Stewart, CAR | Age: 21.5 | Value Score: 74
Still an elite talent, but it's becoming more obvious that owners will be waiting until 2010 for him to realize his full potential.

15. Joseph Addai, IND | Age: 25.3 | Value Score: 73

16. Michael Turner, ATL | Age: 26.5 | Value Score: 71
Running backs who don't catch the ball have an awfully hard time producing consistently.

17. Brandon Jacobs, NYG | Age: 26.2 | Value Score: 70
The quality of the Giants backups make Jacobs' value a tricky one to judge on a weekly basis. Juggernaut performances like Week 5 help put the doubts to rest.

18. #Darren McFadden, OAK | Age: 21.0 | Value Score: 69
Time to buy if you believe if the talent.

TIER FOUR

19. Ray Rice, BAL | Age: 21.7 | Value Score: 56
Willis McGahee better stay healthy if he knows what's good for him. In the meantime, Rice will try to carve out a poor man's MJD role for himself in the Ravens offense.

20. Tim Hightower, ARI | Age: 22.3 | Value Score: 55
Hightower clearly offers the Cardinals offense more than Edgerrin James does, and Week 6 marked the first time the rookie got more touches than the pedestrian vet.

21. Steve Slaton, HOU | Age: 22.7 | Value Score: 54
I've remained skeptical all along that Slaton will ever be a RB that can sustain a rushing attack. Now he's in a virtual rotation with Ahman Green. If you haven't sold sky high, there may still be time to do so after the Bengals game Sunday.

22. DeAngelo Williams, CAR | Age: 25.4 | Value Score: 52

23. Willie Parker, PIT | Age: 27.8 | Value Score: 52
This is why Parker has never had stability as a Dynasty asset: he's not a true workhorse. Every time the Steelers realize this, they start taking away responsibilities, first passing game work, then short-yardage work, and eventually the starting job.

24. Ryan Grant, GB | Age: 25.7 | Value Score: 50
Not only are the big plays gone, but more problematic is that he's slipped to the point where he doesn't even catch passes anymore. Steer clear of running backs with no role in the passing game.

TIER FIVE

25. [#]Rashard Mendenhall, PIT | Age: 21.2 | Value Score: 42
Is it too early to wonder if he's a bust? He couldn't get on the field until Willie Parker's injury, and now he's roster fodder until 2009.

26. Jamal Lewis, CLE | Age: 29.0 | Value Score: 41

27. #Willis McGahee, BAL | Age: 26.9 | Value Score: 40
Coming off his best game of the season, can he finally put Le'Ron McClain and Ray Rice at bay? I'd be selling high after this week's game against the Raiders.

28. #Felix Jones, DAL | Age: 21.3 | Value Score: 40

29. Ryan Torain, DEN | Age: 22.1 | Value Score: 38

30. Kevin Smith, DET | Age: 21.7 | Value Score: 37
Expect to see more of Smith and less of Rudi Johnson in the second half of the season.

31. *Larry Johnson, KC | Age: 28.8 | Value Score: 35

TIER SIX

32. [#]Laurence Maroney, NE | Age: 23.5 | Value Score: 25
The shoulder injury closes the books on his 2008 season, and he heads into 2009 as an injury-prone committee back with no role in the passing game.

33. Jamaal Charles, KC | Age: 21.7 | Value Score: 25

34. Earnest Graham, TB | Age: 28.7 | Value Score: 24

35. Thomas Jones, NYJ | Age: 30.0 | Value Score: 24
Sell high!

36. LenDale White, TEN | Age: 23.7 | Value Score: 17
Chocoate chip pancakes.

37. Derrick Ward, NYG | Age: 28.1 | Value Score: 19
Underrated, well-rounded backup.

38. Cedric Benson, CIN | Age: 25.7 | Value Score: 18
Even against a stout Steelers defense, he was considerably more impressive than Chris Perry has been.

39. Ahmad Bradshaw, NYG | Age: 22.5 | Value Score: 17

TIER SEVEN

40. #Selvin Young, DEN | Age: 24.9 | Value Score: 12
He's clearly a committee back – the part of the committee that never gets in the end zone.


41. Jerious Norwood
, ATL | Age: 25.1 | Value Score: 11

42. Michael Bush, OAK | Age: 24.3 | Value Score: 11

43. Kevin Jones, CHI | Age: 26.0 | Value Score: 10

44. Darren Sproles, SD | Age: 25.3 | Value Score: 9
Unrestricted free agent after 2008 season.

45. Pierre Thomas, NO | Age: 23.7 | Value Score: 9
Keep him stashed, but Deuce's return certainly diminishes his value.

46. Fred Jackson, BUF | Age: 27.6 | Value Score: 8

47. Julius Jones, SEA | Age: 27.0 | Value Score: 8
Already back to a committee attack, and now he's unleashing sideline rants against the Big Show. Bad idea.

48. #Sammy Morris, NE | Age: 31.5 | Value Score: 8
Most valuable 2008 asset in the Pats committee backfield?

49. #LaMont Jordan, NE | Age: 29.8 | Value Score: 7

50. Deuce McAllister, NO | Age: 29.7 | Value Score: 7

51. Chester Taylor, MIN | Age: 29.0 | Value Score: 6
As valuable of a pure backup as any RB in the league, Taylor is still most valuable to Adrian Peterson owners; won't be a free agent until after the '09 season when he'll be almost 31-years-old.

52. Maurice Morris, SEA | Age: 28.7 | Value Score: 6

53. Justin Fargas, OAK | Age: 28.6 | Value Score: 6

54. Leon Washington, NYJ | Age: 26.0 | Value Score: 6
A homerun hitter, but just not physical enough to ever be more than a part-timer; his only hope for value is to catch enough passes to be useful in PPR leagues.

55. Brandon Jackson, GB | Age: 22.9 | Value Score: 6

56. Mewelde Moore, PIT | Age: 26.1 | Value Score: 6
Never gets a starting gig, but in two separate trials he's shown that he can be a very productive NFL running back.

TIER EIGHT

57. Le'Ron McClain, BAL | Age: 23.7 | Value Score: 5
Looking more and more like a novelty act as opposed to a running back with a bright future.

58. Ricky Williams, MIA | Age: 31.3 | Value Score: 5

59. Rudi Johnson, DET | Age: 28.9 | Value Score: 5
Kevin Smith is better. Rudi will be 30-years-old by this time next year, he's worthless in the passing game, and he'll never average close to 4.0 YPC again.

60. Fred Taylor, JAX | Age: 32.6 | Value Score: 5

61. #Ladell Betts, WAS | Age: 29.0 | Value Score: 5

62. Dominic Rhodes, IND | Age: 29.6 | Value Score: 5
Will be startable for a few weeks and may work his way back into a timeshare with Addai.

63. Tashard Choice, DAL | Age: 23.8 | Value Score: 5

64. #Ahman Green, HOU | Age: 31.5 | Value Score: 4

65. Edgerrin James, ARI | Age: 30.1 | Value Score: 7
The cliff is approaching fast. . . .

66. Jerome Harrison, CLE | Age: 25.5 | Value Score: 4

67. [#]Cadillac Williams, TB | Age: 26.4 | Value Score: 3

68. #Antonio Pittman, STL | Age: 22.7 | Value Score: 3
