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.

Here's a scary thought for you: Since Alex Smith was promoted to starter, he has outperformed Jay Cutler. Check the numbers. ;)

How can you say cut bait on younger players with potential in a dynasty league? This blog doesn't seem to have anything to do with dynasty. More redraft crap.

Anonymous,

Did you even read the note at the top of the article you referenced? The waiver wire list is strictly research for my re-draft Rotoworld article. I share it here because a lot of the regulars to this blog also play in redraft leagues in addition to Dynasty leagues.

YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO CUT BAIT WITH BIG ROY WILLIAMS IN DALLAS JUST YET....HE'S REALLY MAKING THE MOST OF THE ATTENTION MILES IS GETTING.
