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.

With rumors of Tony Scheffler possibly being traded to the Eagles, who rates higher in the same offense: Scheffler or Brent Celek?

I see Celek as the better blocker (although not a great blocker by any stretch of the imagination), ergo he'd get more playing time.

Also, do those rumors make sense to you after the monster numbers Celek put up in his few starts last season? Unless the Eagles are looking to go to a 2-TE offense, it makes no sense.
