easilyscan 552 Posted October 8, 2021 Was cleaning up my FF bookmarks folder earlier today. Noticed a link for MB's weekly love-hate article. Read it a couple times a year, & if nothing else, found it entertaining. Clicked on it today. I guess PT Barnum was right.

nobody 2,031 Posted October 8, 2021 I'd be frustrated by that if I were him. There are 1000s of people trying to be fantasy analysts and none of them are really better than any others. This just opens the door for people to make someone else their go-to for fantasy information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted October 9, 2021 The ones who took AxeElf's advice on wide receiver ranking last week took a massive L unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, the loss would obviously be entirely unrelated to Axe Elf's pinpoint accuracy in ranking WRs, so I'm not sure why you would think to correlate the two.

Original list/points................................................Rec/Tar Robert Woods 12...............................4/6 Robby Anderson 6.6........................... 5/11 Kenny Golladay 16.5..........................6/7 Brandin Cooks 8.................................5/7 Brandon Aiyuk 1.5...............................1/3 Marvin Jones (so far, so good) 3.5....3/3(got hurt) Seems legit to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 10, 2021 ESPN decided to stop providing anything good for free a couple years ago. They've even shaved off most of the info from their statistics sections, guess it wasn't worth keeping when it wasn't behind a paywall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't get points for targets in fantasy Other than starting Anderson over Golladay in two leagues (which didn't affect the outcome of either game), Axe Elf made the correct start-sit decision in every one of his decisions involving those players, given his ranking of said players. Good. If you want to have a cow because Marvin Jones got 2 more points than Brandon Aiyuk even though I had Aiyuk ranked higher, that's your prerogative, but the important thing for Axe Elf's fantasy teams is that neither Aiyuk nor Jones were in his lineups over players who did start--and who scored more points for him. It's really weird that I have to explain this on a site where people supposedly play a lot of fantasy football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't get points for targets in fantasy I start 3 WR's in my leagues, between the top 3 he just got me 35.1 points @11.7 each....add Cooks and thats 43.1 @ 10.7 each...and these are just for wr2/3 slots depending on how a person drafted and plays the flex.

They were hemorrhaging money for a long time, so I think their parent company forced them to try to be more profitable. That's why they let so many people go and put things behind the paywall. At least The Undefeated is still free though, thank God. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you spoke as if straight rankings and in that case you did poorly. It's fine man- just take the loss and go forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
