Okay, so today, I wanna talk about getting those NFL fantasy draft rankings. This whole thing started because my buddies and I, we’re big into fantasy football. Every year, we have this draft, and it’s a big deal. I mean, bragging rights for the whole season are on the line. So, I decided I needed to step up my game this year.
First thing I did was hit up the official NFL site. I figured, who better to get rankings from than the source, right? I started scrolling through their fantasy football section. They have this whole setup for player rankings, which was exactly what I needed.
But I didn’t stop there. I also checked out this site called FantasyNerds. They aggregate rankings from a bunch of different sources and claim to use some accuracy calculations. Sounds fancy, but I just wanted to see what the consensus was among different experts. So I spent a good chunk of time comparing their rankings with what I found on the NFL site. It was interesting to see the differences and similarities.
Digging Deeper
After that, I came across an article mentioning SportsLine’s NFL DFS picks and rankings. Now, I’m not huge into daily fantasy sports (DFS), but I figured their rankings might still be useful. I took a look, and they had some interesting insights, especially on player projections. It got me thinking more about how to use these rankings to strategize for my draft.
- Started with the official NFL site for player rankings.
- Checked out FantasyNerds for their aggregated rankings.
- Explored SportsLine for additional insights and projections.
I also spent some time reading about the different scoring systems. Most leagues use PPR or half-PPR. I know, it sounds like alphabet soup, but it’s basically how points are awarded for each reception. I learned that many major fantasy football sites use PPR as their default setting. It was something I hadn’t paid much attention to before, but it really makes a difference in how you rank players.
Finally, I compiled all this info into my own spreadsheet. Yeah, I’m that guy. I combined the rankings from the NFL site, FantasyNerds, and what I found on SportsLine. I even added my own notes based on the scoring system we use in my league. It was a bit of work, but now I feel way more prepared for our draft.
So, that’s my journey to figuring out these fantasy football rankings. It took some time, hopping from site to site, but I think it was worth it. Now, I’ve got this killer spreadsheet, and I’m ready to crush it in my draft. We’ll see how it plays out during the season, but at least I’ve given it my best shot. Wish me luck, folks!
