The worst projections HAVE to come from Mike Brown who's got Kevin Jones as the #4 overall RB?? I think he may have forgotten a 2 in front of the number 4 ranking??

Any staff member who ranks players you don't agree with is an idiot. Any staff member who ranks things exactly as you would knows his stuff.
We all rank players differently.
We all rank players differently.
And yet a few of his insane/garbage rankings last year were dead on.Its one thing to go against the grain .... its another to have your Rankings so drastic it becomes insane.His are garbage because??? He doesn't rank them the same as all the other guys?

No. But we don't rag on posters here. If you disagree, say why and make a case. Or find a new board.TIA.J

I was wondering the same thing. The default ranking in DD and PD are from Dodds. Does anyone change that to use a broader sample of FBG guru’s? I drafted in a league and the DD said I had by far the highest "team strength" however if I import ranking from PD using this projection set up:
20% Dodds
20% Henry
20% Smith
20% Tremblay
20% Wood
My team strength dropped to 5th when I did this. Not so good. I guess I just need to hope Dodds is the man in his rankings. I used Dodds ranking last year when I drafted my team using the DD and ended up 13-1 somehow despite taking McAllister and Kevin Jones with my first two picks.
Here is a link I found with grades on how some of the FBG did last year.

Kind of disappointing that Dodds was left off this list but still some good stuff.
What guru rankings are most people using?

I'm actually in the process of editing my rankings now. I am extremely high on Jones, but he'll be back at #8 in a few minutes which is where I've had him all preseason.laughinboy_2000 said:

I do not agree with you because...The purpuse of the FBG's rankings in my mind is help use them to find some middle ground to help you in your individual ranking process. Their rankings give you an idea of what the experts are thinking. But when one person in the group is making rankings that are so far off of the group as a whole it is creating outliers. These outliers are not being accounted and are taking down some players indivudual rankings. If people are not aware of these outliers it could hurt them.For example, One FBG's ranking has:S. Jackson @ 22 avg. 4McGahee @ 48 avg 17Bush not rated avg 20Droughns not rated avg 26Chester Taylor not rated avg 28Julius Jones not rated avg 35Todd Heap not rated avg 46In their top 85, that is why I think they are bad.AnonymousBob said:

Hey guys...while I'm flattered by the compliment, the fact is with 30+ staff it would be absurd (and embarrassing) to single out any one of us. Since I'm the guy being singled out, I presume no one will mind if I close this topic down.
Best of luck this season,

Hey Sharks,I have answered a ton of questions about this topic this year, but here's the quick version. (BTW, There are a lot of great threads with commentary from lots of knowledgable posters on this board (use the search function and find out) in reference to all the top NFL players, as well as lots of staff face-offs and spot-lights on our article page for persons interested in the specific players referenced above. So some of the below is going to be a rehash for posters who've been here on the boards for awhile, or for long-time subscribers).
On my RB board, there is a huge (relatively) tier between RB 16 and RB 17 (on my board I have an 18 FP drop from Willie Parker to Jamal Lewis). So, any RB on my board RB 17 and below is well down on the overall list, because within that range of points from RB16 to RB17, a lot of WR's, TEs and QB's land within the "X" range of points dividing RB 16 and RB 17 (and then again between RB17 and RB18).
In other words, on my overall board, my projections show that (in a TE required league with scoring such as we base our rankings on here at FBG's), a fantasy player is better off going with any number of elite/next to elite WR's, an elite TE or an elite QB rather than the lower tier of RB 2's during the late-early to early-mid rounds of a draft. I think that this is far from insane or wacky advice.
Speaking to this specific poster's "outlier's" concern, this poster has perhaps read past the text on the various rankings which reads along the lines of "Rankings are calculated by giving 1 point per number 1 ranking, 2 pts for a number 2, etc. Unranked players count 61 points. Final points are calculated by weighting all experts equally, but if more than 10 experts have submitted rankings, the highest and lowest rankings will be thrown out prior to computing the average." We have crafted the boards such that rankings which are "outliers" in either direction are not included when the sample size is sufficiently large (we far exceed 10 expert rankings here at FBG's at any position on offense, BTW).
One of the strengths of Footballguys.com and the staff here is that David and Joe have intentionally allowed for a depth of opinion and viewpoint. This diversity of opinion, excellently highlighted by our staff's face-offs here and thevalue plays/over valued articles is something that I am proud to be a part of/included in.
I hope that this response has been worthwhile, as that was my intention. We'll see just how nutty (or not) I am come December 2006. I look forward to revisiting these controversies at that time.
Sincerely,
MW
