Brees 33rd ranked player? Dynasty or not, these ranking are not good. I see a lot of issues. In my opinion.

Keep in mind rankings on FBG are done as a consensus but you might examine each persons rankings and opt to go with that individuals rankings versus the consensus. Personally I care more about Dynasty rankings not so much that they help me decide who to draft but to help me get gauge trade value of players I either have or want to have so I kind of like looking at it from the POV of the consensus.
Dynasty rankings tend to differ a great amount from person to person more than re-draft rankings so I try not to focus to much on the random player that seems way out of place in an individuals rankings but instead try and look at the overall rankings. For instance someone mentioned PFF. I like their site and find their rankings to be fairly credible but for instance they've got Reggie Bush listed as RB50 in a PPR format and that's just insane and if I focused on that I'd never visit their website again but their overall rankings seem fairly solid.
One question I had on FBG dynasty rankings and that is are they assumed to be PPR or non-PPR?

Our dynasty rankings are PPR. Prior to this year they were non-PPR.

The one that had me shaking my head was Pasquino's ranking of Foster as the 6th RB (10th overall). Behind Richardson, Chris Johnson and Peterson. What was even more puzzling was his reason. "The threat of Ben Tate is real" & "Texans are working on their passing attack"

All rankings are subjective and if you were to compare end of year production to early year rankings, you would find a big discrepancy. But for dynasty, it is off the charts subjective because it is even harder to predict long term productivity. Plus, rankers will disagree about how much to factor in age. Regarding Brees, it could be that his age, relative to say Rodgers, is cause for him being 33. I would never just look at any one's rankings and make decisions based off that. Real value in your league is also going to vary considerably depending on your roster requirements and scoring system. These rankings just give you an idea of how other people value players in general. Cross positional rankings are even less meaningful because of scoring differences. In my league QBs are not valued that highly and I doubt ANY QB would be a top 12 ranked player.

I like to look at dynasty consensus, then compare to people like Bloom and Waldman who I get to listen to on the Audible or read their work. Next would be Jeff T, then the others. Mainly because I have heard or read their arguments and can see when they are spot on or perhaps have a blind spot for a player.
I also compare a players dynasty ranking to redraft as it is only natural to be more accurate in the short term. If a ranking intersects with both I go with the player I feel best about first...and most number of "hits" in rankings.
Finally, I discount rookie effect. We all are so focused on rookies that their value jumps up higher than an equal prospect with one or two years in the NFL. Their shine has worn off. I tend to sell on the higher valuation (great argument to aide trade value) but build a "rookie effect" into my valuation when purchasing.

Brees is awesome but he's ranked lower due to age, recent issues with N.O and the fact that he's still in a hold-out. You're not going to get 13 years out of Brees. You might get 13 years out of Luck. Also, there are a lot of different rules/settings that come into to play that can impact rankings.
I would try to get young talented players. (DUH)
Focus on QB/WR/RB and a top 5 TE.
If you can get a young Top 5 talent in any position hang on to it and build a team around it. Draft people that have the potential to work into that spot.
If you have an older elite player and can trade for younger one even if it means not winning as many games now...that's OK. Plan on trying to win Next Season. This year is cool but don't trade your young talent or draft picks for Older Aging players to fill a spot for a bye week or something.
I suggest you go through the articles archived about dynasty.
If you draft young elite WRs Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Julio Jones, they tend to have a longer shelf life than RBs.
If a WR lasts 5-7yrs and RBs 3-5yrs...It's not long before you're losing a first round pick if you always go RB.
This doesNOT mean don't draft Tent Richardson 1.01 in a rookie draft.
Also...beware of situational vs talented players. Talent will always rise to the top even if they're in a bad situation (Mark Ingram was drafted into a bad situation for him...Stephen Hill....same thing). You can get good production from a situational player but you'll want to sell them high if you can. (Ryan Grant comes to mind).

It's not that crazy IMO. I would probably take Richardson over any RB in the league for dynasty. In PPR, I might have Calvin 1st overall, but those guys aren't far off for me.
