Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following your instructions about tone, structure, and formatting:
Alright, so I wanted to get a jump on my fantasy football leagues this year. You know, really do my homework. I decided to try and find a top 300 PPR (points per reception) ranking list for 2024. Let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey!
Digging In
First, I just started hitting up the usual spots, you know, the big-name fantasy football sites. I figured they’d all have their “expert” rankings ready to go. I found some, sure, but I wanted to get a good feel for things, a consensus, you might say.
So, I started grabbing lists from wherever I could find them. Some were from those big sites, some were from smaller blogs, and some were even from, like, Reddit threads where people were arguing about this stuff. I just copied and pasted everything into a giant spreadsheet. It was a MESS, I’m not gonna lie.
Cleaning Up the Mess
Next, I had to make some sense of it all. Different sites had different ways of ranking, some used slightly different scoring systems… it was a headache. I basically had to go through and try to standardize things as much as possible. I focused on PPR, since that’s what most of my leagues use anyway.
I spent a good chunk of time just going line by line, making sure names matched up, getting rid of duplicates, and generally cleaning up the data. I felt like a data janitor, seriously.
Averaging it Out(Kind of.)
Once I had everything kinda clean, I wanted to combine all those lists. My thinking was, if I took the average rank for each player across all the lists I found, I’d get a pretty good idea of where they should be drafted, you know?
I did that * I put the names which appeared most in order.
The Result (Sort Of)
I got my top300 ppr,but that is not a perfect * is just my attempt to get a general feel for the player pool.I am going to use it as a starting point, not as a bible.
