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.

Roy sure didn't get much of a bump considering he's now the #1 in a very potent offense.

What is more appealing about Santana Moss or even Terrell Owens as #1 WR's in mediocre offenses than Roy in a great one?

Also, is Brandon Marshall's ranking assuming a suspension, or is that going to lower it even further?
