IDP Dynasty rankings (1 Viewer)

I Am Rick James

They are almost a month old and so much has changed. With the bye weeks here, we have decisions to make and fresh Dynasty rankings would be a big help.

 
Agree - would definitely appreciate updated rankings. (As I went through with Dumervil - like, where does he fit for dynasty? Should I drop him, etc?)

Perhaps we could get new rankings every 2-3 weeks??

 
My usual time frame for the first in-season update of my dynasty rankings is sometime after week 4. I never update dynasty rankings any earlier than that. I like to let things calm down before posting my first revised set, because if I don't, then one or two games will have too much influence on the rankings. I can't say for sure that mine will be up before this weeks games due to serious time restraints, but they should be up next week if I don't get them done this weekend.

Thanks for the reply
 
Sig, Borbely, thanks - we definitely appreciate your insight and the rankings are a good yardstick for measuring generally where people sit long-term vs. their weekly scores.

I wonder if it the rankings could at least default to a date cutoff to whatever the latest ranking is? I.e., if there haven't been new rankings for 28 days, can you show those rankings? Or at the VERY least, show the dropdown for "reviews in the last x days" on the "no reviews" page?

 
I really struggle to find the time to do dynasty rankings justice during the season. I'll make an effort to do monthly rankings, but no promises unfortunately. Always available to respond to specific questions on either half of the IDP Forum, however.

The Lineup Dominator has forward projections, customizable to your scoring system, from John Norton updated weekly. They won't be dynasty rankings, but they'll give some idea of where the current players stand and provide a decent approximation of an IDP Top 250 Forward.

You can adjust any of the ranking pages by (1) changing the pulldown menu with the number of days to look back or (2) changing the default number (7) in the URL for the page to whatever you wish (usually either 35 or 200). The default is seven, so that older rankings don't skew the newest rankings during the peak preseason dates.

The trouble (as I said with my Dumervil dilemma) is to know where someone fits long-term, whereas you might cut ihim in a redraft he might have value in a dynasty especially if he's on a cheap contract.And yes, I realize the default is 7 - I was just suggesting that, if there are no rankings in the past 7 days, that it could default to 14, and if there are no rankings in the past 14 days, it could default to 21, and so on. (It's fairly easy to implement, and I've already offered to help out on the programming side of things - I promise we could do some interesting things with that data!).The other issue is that the dropdown doesn't show up if there are no rankings in the past 7 days, since the rankings are in the grid itself. If that was there at the top, it would make it a little easier to deal with :lmao:

Try checking an offensive skill player. There are some who update those frequently. Once they are up, you can change the default and positions to look back.
 
Any planned date for updated dynasty IDP rankings such that we can start seeing the averages amongst 3-4 of the staff?

For folks playing in dynasty leagues, these are likely one of the most needed, and useful, aspects of our subscriptions.

TIA

I know, it's just a pain in the ### when it could just default. (For what it's worth, it's a fairly simple thin to implement. I've offered my programming skills multiple times and have been told they aren't needed :thumbup: )Try checking an offensive skill player. There are some who update those frequently.
