Alright, folks, let’s dive into how I tackled this whole “top 100 fantasy football players” thing. It wasn’t exactly rocket science, but it took a bit of elbow grease.
Getting Started: The Blank Slate
First things first, I started with absolutely nothing. No lists, no rankings, just a big ol’ empty spreadsheet. It was pretty daunting, staring at all those blank cells.
Gathering the Intel
Next up, I spent a good chunk of time just…reading. Seriously, I hit up a bunch of different fantasy football websites, you know, the usual suspects. I absorbed everything I could – expert rankings, player projections, injury reports, the whole nine yards. I didn’t just stick to one source, though. Gotta get different perspectives, right?
Building My Own List: The First Draft
- I started jotting down names.
- At first, it was just the obvious guys, the big-name stars everyone knows.
- Then, I dug a little deeper, adding in players I thought were being undervalued, potential sleepers, that kind of thing.
The Ranking Struggle: Moving Players Up and Down
This was the messy part. I spent hours, and I mean hours, moving players up and down my list. One minute a guy was in my top 20, the next he was down to 40. It was a constant back-and-forth. I considered things like a player in previous years, how well they played in current games, how much opportunity they are getting, I even spent a little time reading reports about players injury history. I even checked players history like how old are they.
Refining and Finalizing: Getting to 100
After all that shuffling, I finally got to a point where I was…mostly happy. I mean, it’s fantasy football, there’s always going to be some guesswork involved. But I felt good about the top 100 I had. I made a few last-minute tweaks, double-checked everything, and called it a day.
Sharing the Goods
And that’s it! That’s how I built my top 100 * took more time than you expected. It’s not perfect, but it’s my list, based on a whole lot of reading, thinking, and tinkering. Hope it helps you out!
