re: Fantasy Board Regulars Football League

Gyno's Preseason Rankings v1.0

How They Work: I ranked 5 positions from each team, 1 to 12, with 1 being the best and 12 being the worst. The postions were QB, RB, WR, TE and FL, and Bench. I combined the flex and TE position into one ranking, and ranked the 3 best players on your bench to form your Bench ranking, not counting backup QB. Obviously, the higher overall number your team receives, the worse it is. Your position is based soley on the number I came up with.

Remember, it is August 14th. These are subject to change and it should be noted that they are my biased opinion of each team. There are some that I didnt like and some that I did. I did all the rankings blind.

11. Bham - 48

Bham's team will hinge on the resurgence of Chris Johnson and the health of Jamal Charles. They could be two top 5 backs if everything works out. As of now, though, I have them as question marks. Josh Freeman and Santonio Holmes may be the two worst starters on any team, though I do like Freeman to rebound somewhat. Freeman was my worst starting QB, and Holmes dragged down his WR rating. BHam does have nice starters in Julio and AHern and a middle of the pack bench. I felt this was the worst team today, but could very well overachieve.

10. Cannon- 46

I didn't expect this team to be this low, but when I added up the numbers, there it was. Not bad by any means, I think my question marks surrounding DMC's injuries and CJ Spiller's work load had him in the bottom portion of RBs. Fitz will be steady but I question Maclin, who I felt he reached on big time. Miles Austin is as inconsistent as they come, and Greg Olson is meh. However, if this teams plays like it is capable of, it will be one of the best. A lot of boom/bust potential.

9. DCB- 36

DCB obviously landed the best QB in Rodgers, but his running game brought him down. In fact, I had him as the lowest RB in the league. Relying on TRich and BJGE seems like a recipe for disaster. Rookie RBs struggle, and CLE' OLine is terrible. BJGE has proven to be a goal line beast, but Im not sure what to expect from him in CIN's run oriented offense. WRs are solid and his flex ranking would've been near the top had Wells not been paired with Jimmy Graham.

8. Dro- 36

Another solid team brought down by one ranking, in this case, WR. I love AJ Green's talent, but I question Andy Dalton and the rest of that offense to take pressure off of him. Robert Meachem as a WR2 scares me as well. The RBs have a chance to be the best tandem in the league if FJax comes back healthy, and his flex play of Gore/Vernon is solid. If AP is hurt, Gerhart will be a nice pickup for him.

No, I expected worse

Nice rankings and great insight so far Gyno

I just can't put Brees > Rodgers w/ all the turmoil in NO this past offseason + no SP

thx G, pretty spot on analysis, however I thought RG3 would boost my bench strength (as most analysts have him in the low QB1/high QB2 range)

OH YEAH BABY.

I'm at least getting my money back.

I ran everyone's team through the "rate my team" app on footballguys.com. For those not familiar, it is a tool that tells you strengths and weaknesses for your team and tells you what % they think you have for making the playoffs based on their projections.

Below is the "bottom line" for each team and a link where you can check out the rest of the information (hit edit info at the top and make sure I entered everything right). I'm posting the first rankings that come up (based on David Dodds' projections). If you don't like what he says about your team, just click one of the other guy's name and see what he thinks.

Full disclosure: My ratings are super high according to Dodds because his is one of the cheatsheets I used during the draft. As I said in an earlier post, he likes my team way more than I. I disclose this because I don't want y'all thinking I'm bragging about my team and its %. I just think this is a fun app to play with and there is some good info there.

Also, don't think I put a ton of work into loading this. I bought their draft software several years ago and used it for our draft. Using that, I can just hit a button and it automatically sends the info to the "rate my team" app.

Usually, there are a couple of teams that it shows as absolute locks. The fact that there are none means everyone did a decent job drafting and no one was able to take advantage of other people's stupidity (except Tots taking Matt Ryan after my brain fark )

Good draft guys. Looking forward to the season.

6. Kashonly- 31

This team was all over the place. I had it ranked pretty terrible in RB and WR, but the high rankings of Brady and Gronk/Gates brought it towards the top. I had Bradshaw/K. Smith as the 2nd worst RB tandem in the league, and Steve Johnson/Collie as the 9th best. I look at it as basically starting an RB2 and a RB3, then a WR2 and a WR3. Bradshaw is a solid RB2, and Kevin Smith is an unknown at this point in that backfield. Johnson is as consistent as they come as a WR2, but Collie's production hinges on Luck. For as much shite as we gave him, I had Gronk/Gates as the best flex and TE combo in the league.

---

makes the playoffs?

BTW....I did trade evaluate between Gronk and all the 2nd rounders....I lose points if I trade, everyone else save 1 gains

I did gates to the 2nd rounders...I lost points, and pretty much everyone else gains.

Can I change my name to Flexploit...maybe Flextime....or maybe Rondotellmehowmyasstaste?

I'm doomed

I didn't take QBs into consideration with your bench rating, considering you can only start one. I really just looked at your backup RB, WR, TE because you fit them in your lineup if you wanted.
