I think it takes a lot of skill to succeed in the rankings and this post should not be seen as taking shots at either FantasyPros or any of the participants.īut I have a lot of thoughts on this subject and feel it is best to both share it to potentially affect change and to cleanse my brain so I can start deep diving into 2020 MLB with a clear mind. I feel a kinship to everyone in the contest even the majority of with whom I never had an interaction. How much should (if at all) the FantasyPros weekly rankings contest reward boldness (i.e., ranking players different from the consensus)?īefore I dive into this, please note that I really value the FantasyPros weekly in-season rankings contest and enjoy participating it immensely. It is a question I have probably thought about more than everyone on Earth combined. But one question has nagged at me ever since I started the contest. In 2018, I was 3rd boldest and I was the boldest ranker in 2017.ĭespite not reaching the heights of my 2017 season, I have never felt better about my projection model and weekly process. In 2019, I was the 4th boldest ranker out of 120. If there is one constant among these volatile results, it is that I am by far one of the boldest rankers – i.e., my picks are consistently further from consensus than the average ranker. I was as high as 21st place overall with a couple weeks to ago and a brutal Week 16 knocked me down from 29th place.
After a rough first year ( 91st), a stellar second year ( 5th), and a disappointed 3rd year ( 97th), I had a decent bounceback year in 2019 finishing in 46th place including a 9th place finish in QBs (2nd top 10 in 3 years) and my second straight 2nd place finish in Kickers (yay?). So this marked my fourth year participating in the FantasyPros Weekly NFL Rankings Accuracy Contest.
I will not take it personal if you just stop reading now or abandon ship before finishing. But now that the regular season is over, I am indulging in an ‘industry insider’ piece that will entertain only the dorkiest of you all. At Razzball, our main goal is helping our readers and subscribers win their fantasy football leagues and entertain in the process.
