Mike FF Today 607 Posted May 8, 2018 Now that we're post- NFL draft, Doug has updated his dynasty rankings ... and somebody's in love with Saquon Barkley. Top 40 QBs, 80 RBs, 80 WRs, 40 TEs. We'll do another update in August. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Football Guru 209 Posted May 8, 2018 Luck seems a little high at 4. I'm not buying the hype of Barkley at 2. Fair enough on both points. If you've seen a recent picture of Luck, I think it is a pretty good bet he'll be ready for training camp. You're not hitting the weights as hard as he is if your shoulder is bothering you. I think No. 4 is actually low for him given the relatively small track records of two of the three guys ahead of him. The Giants just solidified the left side of their line and the combination of OBJ/Engram pretty much ensures defenses are not going to be able to load the box against Barkley. I think Shurmur's usage of Dalvin Cook last year provides a pretty good baseline of the workload Barkley will have as a rookie. Barkley is also 21 and wasn't overused at Penn State. When you consider David Johnson is already 26 and Zeke isn't exactly a favorite of the commish, I think the case for Barkley becomes even stronger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super Cubs 131 Posted May 8, 2018 Overall the rankings are great with a few minor things I don't agree 100% with. If we ranked players the same and agreed on everything it would take a lot of fun out playing fantasy football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe me, I don't lose sleep over worrying about what potential criticism when I do rankings/analysis.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted May 9, 2018 Jared Goff at 13 seems pretty low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,071 Posted May 9, 2018 I personally like the long term potential of Cousins, Winston, and Garoppolo over Newton, Stafford, and Mariota simply based on style and age. But, if you're only thinking "4 years", then the rankings are fine. For QB's, I tend to think a lot longer for them because they just stay healthier than other positions. In a keeper league with term restrictions, these are perfectly fine, but for a dynasty league... I would lean more to the pocket passer and youth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,587 Posted May 9, 2018 I am in deeper dynasty leagues, 14 teams 36 roster spots, 12 teams 35 roster spots, etc. I enjoy lists such as these not to see who is ranked near the top, but rather who is ranked near the bottom. Who could i possibly buy low on. Based on your list I sent out feelers for moncrief,tyler lockett, and Allen hurns in multiple dynasty leagues. I did not even get a counter offer. I think those 3 in particular are all too low in your list.The Moncrief owners surprised me the most. He has shown almost nothing to this point in his career. I thought they would send a counter offer back. Lockett is who you are probably most off on. Seattle lost both Richardson and Graham and Seattles defense will be worse this year. Lockett has a chance to finally be a full time player. Who knows what he will do with that chance, but he could suprise and finish with 800-900 yards and a handful of TD's which would put him in the low end #2 high end #3 discussion. He is only 25 years old and plays with a young QB, his dynasty stock is probably just as high as his redraft stock. A big year this year could cement him as the #2 in seattle.

If we ranked players the same and agreed on everything it would take a lot of fun out playing fantasy football.That's the same way I look at things. If everyone else agreed with me, I'd never be able to get the guys I want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
