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.

I might rate Shaun Hill a little higher, possibly a tier 4, only because he has a lot of tools on that 49er offense now.

Ed,
I'm right there with you. Hill deserves a bump even if the Niners coaches/GM are always trying to replace him. Fact is, there's nobody around to take over.
