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.

Draft Wrap: Rookie Losers

Below is my knee-jerk reaction to the draft's fantasy winners among the rookie class.  For the full analysis, see the NBCSports.com article here.


1. C.J. Spiller, Bills - May spend his rookie year returning kicks and working mostly out of the slot in a subpar offense.  Fred Jackson isn't going away on early downs, and Marshawn Lynch remains in the picture as well. 


2. Jermaine Gresham, Bengals - I don't trust the Bengals to heavily utilize the tight end in what is still a run-heavy offense.


3. Dexter McCluster, Chiefs - I worry about his slight build as a slot receiver.  He won't receive more than 2-3 carries per game.


4. Toby Gerhart, Vikings - Bench bound behind Adrian Peterson.


5. Jimmy Clausen, Panthers - A lot of people are underestimating Matt Moore, who finished last year 4-1 with a passer rating near 100.


6. Colt McCoy, Browns - Won't see the field as a rookie until late in the season when the Browns are playing out the string.


7. Joe McKnight, Jets - A third-down back stuck behind LaDainian Tomlinson early in the season.


8. Jonathan Dwyer, Steelers - Bench bound behind Rashard Mendenhall.


9. Anthony Dixon, 49ers - Bench bound behind Frank Gore.


10. Dorin Dickerson, Texans - Converting from tight end to wide receiver.
