"No rankings submitted within the last 35 days." (1 Viewer)

In this important time of year when some of us are looking to make trades to sure up our lineups for a playoff run or replace an injured player I'd love to see the staffs thoughts on players for the rest of the year and apparently nobody has submitted any redraft rankings, PPR or not, in at least a month.

Things change quickly in the NFL and as a paid subscriber, I'd love to see the staff thoughts on how players stack up for the rest of the year.

Before the footballguys "fanboys" circle and pounce on me with posts like "make your own decision" and "manage your own team", I do but I like to see how my thoughts match up with what the experts think and I don't think that at least an update a month (that's only about four updates for the season) is asking too much.

 
I think the staff does a great job with everything for this site. With that being said, I think it would be nice if staffers had time to do more frequent dynasty rankings.

Jeff Pasquino updated his on 10/22 but no one else has within the past month.
 
Staff has almost never updated our rankings in-season. Once we do, it changes the database of our rankings and a lot of the subscribers like to go in and check to see how some of us did so they can decide whether we're worth listening to the following year.

For in-season rankings, check Dodds' Top 250 forward in the weekly content.

 
No rankings submitted within the last 7 days.

That should never appear. It should always take you to at least one staffer's rankings.

This has been my only gripe with Footballguys. The dynasty rankings become completely worthless mid-season, which is bad for those of us in dynasty leagues, since many of us use that as a gauge for making midseason trades, pickups, etc.

:confused: It would certainly help in that respect. The dynasty season never ends, but this is a point during the year when some teams are faced with the question of rebuilding and trading vets for young players/picks.

But I want some others points of view as well.From being a subscriber for many years an a member of this message board for even more, I have found there are certain staff members whose rankings and points of view I tend to like more than others.Nothing to Dodds, but part of the draw of this site is that there are more "expert" opinions here than at any other site and for the all important and constantly changing in season rankings ,I can only have one point of view?
 
This same thread appears every season. The only thing that's really changed in regards to rankings is that they now come out later than ever each week.

 
My positional rankings are updated, I just havent had a chance to do an overall ranking lately, ill get on that this week

 
If you're looking for rankings that reflect how fast things change in the NFL, the top 250 forward is the last place you should look. I have noticed it is extremely slow to react to the changing in season landscape. One example being a few seasons ago, Willie Parker stayed in the top 5, stubbornly, all season long. I think that was the season he scored one touchdown, never even sniffed the top 10 productive runningbacks on the season.

I just looked at the top 250 forward and thought some of the rankings were absurdly stubborn. A couple examples: Jennings is ranked too high. The Steven Jackson ranking is extremely stubborn. His offense will never allow him to achieve what Dodd's seems to expect, no matter how featured he is. He isn't even performing close to where he continues to be ranked. Vincent Jackson actually dropped two spots from last week to this week, and is ranked well below his production levels so far to date this season. Wes Welker is ranked too low. This isn't 2007. Moss isn't going to score close to 50% of Brady's touchdowns, Welker is going to put up his usual reception and yardage numbers only with 10+ touchdowns. He is currently ranked outside the top ten despite being 2nd in ppg so far this season in non ppr leagues, and he is about as safe a play as there is at WR. Not many I would rather have. They rank Miles Austin way back there. Another example is Bowe. Dodds, i feel, is stubbornly protecting his pre-season overrating of Bowe. He refuses to adjust to the fact that Kansas City has and will continue to have one of the worst offenses in the NFL. It doesn't matter if theyre getting blown out and passing all day, they still don't accumulate any numbers. Desean Jackson is ranked outside the top 10 despite being the top receiver to date in ppg.

I have Jennings and Bowe, so I am naturally inclined to want to see the situations optimistically, but Jennings seems to be more of a decoy this year and Bowe is on one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL. How Bowe manages to move up the rankings one spot from last week to this week is baffling to me. I also have Miles Austin and very highly doubt he will see my bench in favor of Jennings or Bowe going forward, unless things I see proof that they should.

This isn't meant to rip on Dodds or FBG. Simply stating my opinion that if what you want is rankings that adjust more to how fast things change in the NFL, the top 250 isn't going to cut it, you're on your own. Many of the rankings in the top 250 seem to reflect what Dodds thought would happen pre-season more than what has transpired so far this season. They're very optimistically protective of prior opinions.

A few exceptions would be Benson and Ray Rice have really climbed the rankings. Benson maybe a little bit too much. And I have Benson.

Just for the sake of backing up my criticism, here are my rankings. Green indicates upside to outperform my rankings. Performance scoring non ppr

QBs going forward:

Brady

Brees

Manning

Rodgers

Rivers

Schaub

Romo

Flacco

Roethlisberger

Palmer

McNabb

Warner

Ryan

Cutler

RB's

Peterson

Rice

MJD

R. Brown

Benson

T. Jones

Slaton

Addai

C. Johnson (Im pretty worried about this situation. Only been relevant in one huge game)

M. Turner

D. Williams (Maybe could be in green but I feel will be very limited by how bad Carolina is this year)

R. Grant

F. Gore

B. Jacobs

R. Williams

S. Jackson

The rest are a complete crapshoot. These are the guys who can be somewhat relied upon for consistent production.

WR's + TE's

Welker (who will be more consistently productive?)

Wayne (would be #1 if not for injury concerns. Groins are scary)

D. Jackson

V. Jackson

L. Fitzgerald

M. Colston

Ochocinco

A. Johnson

R. White

M. Austin (could be even better. Potential to put up the #'s TO did as the #1 in Dallas. Don't ignore the evidence)

R. Moss

S. Rice (emerging as Favre's go to guy, should have very beneficial defensive looks due to Peterson theat)

H. Nicks (just wait to see what he does as his superior talent easily phases Manningham into the back seat)

V. Davis

M. Sims-Walker

O. Daniels

D. Clark

D. Mason

B. Marshall

H. Ward

D. Driver

S. Smith NYG

A. Gates

C. Johnson (volatile situation with the injury)

G. Jennings

A. Collie

Boldin

N. Burleson

D. Bowe

D. Hester

T. Gonzalez

S. Holmes

P. Harvin

S. Smith CAR i might be reaching a bit on this one. Legit Question: Can Delhomme get him the ball?

B. Celek

S. Moss

S. Breaston

I appreciate the list - but it's Miles Austin, not Austin Miles, lol.

Sjax may be too high in the T250, but is too low on yours...unless it's not PPR?

Deshaun Jackson is good, but that's VERY high, IMO. Wouldn't put him before Colston, Fitz, 85, Johnson, etc.

shouldn't your league have a trading deadline right about now?

Ahh. Miles Austin. Two first namesNon ppr rankings. I edited my post to add that.D. Jackson has been the best WR ppg and total scoring so far in non-ppr leagues. He is the best weapon Philly has with Westbrook aging and becoming much less of a factor. Several explosive games so far, I expect that to continue. Besides, fortune favors the bold, you have to be ahead of the curve if you want to win it all.

Will agree that you need to take a chance. List makes much more sense since non PPR. But I will respectfully disagree on DJ being that high at this point.

Most of my trading deadlines are around week 9, I believe.

Thanks for the plug, but I'm not alone.Jeff Tefertiller and I update Dynasty rankings bi-weekly. Any more frequent is prone to "churning", I believe (overreacting to one-week movements / games). Every other week is about the right pace for me.

Jeff T. Hasn't done an "Overall", but he has done all his offensive positions (QB/RB/WR/TE) and does so every other week.

For those looking for even more info, I suggest you read "Movers and Shakers" each week - which is what Jeff T or myself write to highlight our bigger moves. Comments have been requested on why we make moves, so that's how that came to be.

Week 7 - Jeff P

Week 8 - Jeff T

As Bloom said as well, he does them from time to time also, but he's got a full slate with in season stuff too.

 
Hey guys, I update the positional rankings regularly. After the season starts, the overall dynasty rankings do not hold as much value, imo, as the positional rankings. As Jeff said, "Movers and Shakers" covers the big moves in the rankings each week. If anyone has any questions or comments about my rankings, please shoot me a PM or Email.

 
I think just one or two mid-season updates would be enough. The most annoying thing for me is the "No Rankings Submitted in the last 14 days" thing. Sometimes I'm okay looking at rankings >14 days old, but if there haven't been any rankings in that period, I have to go back, select some other kind of rankings that I think might pop up, and THEN use the drop-down menus to expand the timeline beyond 14 days. This is really annoying, and silly as it would be an easy fix.

I thought we had expanded this 14 days last season, but it's back again now.

But again, as for in-season dynasty rankings, maybe one or two in-season updates just to tweak them before a lot leagues have their trade deadline would be fine. Not sure what the point of in-season redraft rankings are, you can tell by the projections/top 250/scoring if there are any huge changes.

I wish it would just display the latest rankings from each staffer no matter when they were given. Color code each column based on when they were submitted so if we want to exclude those that are 35+ days earlier it will be easy to do, since they are shaded in red (or whatever color). That would prevent the times when it says "no rankings submitted in last xx days."
