Week 13 Rankings

Folks, it's late, at least late for a freshly turned 30 year old man, and it's been a long day and a long week, evne with having Monday off.  So I just finished my rankings for the week.  I seriously need to quit my real job and do this for a living instead as it is much more fun and I would much rather spend my days talking and writing about fantasy football.  Anywho, on to Week 13's Rankings.  Oh, and have a question, e-mail mattymccall@gmail.com.

Week 12 Rankings

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Back when in my early 20s Thanksgiving Eve was the single greatest party night of the year.  I have many memories (or more exactly fuzzy memories) of having a great time.  One time, I drank so much that I asked my buddy to punch me in the stomach in order to puke.  And like a good friend, he didn't even flinch at the request and made solid contact, followed by some solid projectile vomit (sorry to those of you who are now grossed out, especially family members who read this).

But now I'm 30 and the days of Thanksgiving Eve parties are over, as I have matured (although my wife may disagree with that statement).  So instead of partying, what I'm doing instead is posting my week 12 rankings!!  So lucky to you who need the rankings, particularly those of you right on the edge of the playoffs.

The RB/WR Flex Ranking is back again this week and hopefully it helped you out last week.  I didn't explain the ranking very well if at all last week, but I think it's fairly self explanatory.  You're looking at your RB/WR flex position on your roster, you can't decide whether to start Toby Gerhart this week (Adrian Peterson is out) or Eric Decker (playing in an extremely run heavy offense where it's completely possible to run on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down).  If you look at the RB/WR Flex Rankings this week you'll see that the answer is Toby Gerhart.

So that's how the RB/WR Flex Rankings work and of course you know how the positional rankings work.  Good luck to all still attemptin to make the playoffs!

Week 11 Rankings (with the release of a new RB/WR Flex Ranking)

Week 11 and only a couple of weeks away from the start of the fantasy football playoffs in either week 13 or 14 depending on how your league is set up.  That means every move you make counts that much more, even if you're sending at a current 0-10 record.  Still picking up players on the waiver wire even though you are way out of the playoff picture is still the way to go, as it can prevent an owner you may not like from making the playoffs.

So my buddy texted me right before the start of the games last Sunday asking me who to start between a WR and a RB.  I don't remember the players names or who I told him to start, but it led him to a follow up text suggesting that I a do a WR/RB flex ranking, but that maybe it would be too hard.  I tossed it around in my head for a brief moment and thought to myself, self "You already rank the RBs and the WRs, so how hard could it be to take the two lists and combine them?" 

Turns out it wasn't that hard at all.  Had it done in about 30 minutes during the last part of my day job and actually found it quite fun.  So enjoy all the different positional rankings this week as well as the new RB/WR Flex Ranking.

Week 10 Rankings

Week 10, and strangely enough, no bye weeks.  So that means everyone is available on your roster and on the waiver wire if you need someone.  Also, playoffs are just around the corner, so now's the time to make those all important decisions on who to start and sit. 

And along those lines, allow me to let you in on a theory of mine.  It’s called “Don't get cute and overthink your lineup.”  If a player has been producing for you and you think he has a bad matchup, more often than not he's still going to produce.  A lot of times talent trumps matchups.  So play your studs, play those guys you've been leaning on all season and ride them to the playoffs and hopefully a championship.

If when you click on the link to the rankings and it doesn't download, there is a download button in the top right you can click on and the spreadsheet will open.

Now on to the rankings!!

Week 9 Rankings

Here, we are, half way through the regular season of the real NFL, and only about 4 or 5 weeks away from the Fantasy Football playoffs, depending on how your league has the playoff schedule set up.  That means that every move you make, whether through picking up a player via the waiver wire (such as maybe Andy Dalton from the Cincinnati Bengals as a bye week fill in) or deciding to play one player over another (Knowshon Moreno over Willis McGahee because you just don't trust that McGahee can play well with a broken hand).], could spell the difference between playoffs or the loser's bracket.

So take a look at the rankings for those big time decisions that will lead to either fantasy elation or fantasy gloom.  If you have a question, as always, you can e-mail mattymccall@gmail.com.
