Hi all,

Based on several NFL events these past few days along with additional fantasy football rankings research some changes were made to the 2010 fantasy football rankings for the QB fantasy rankings and RB fantasy rankings. The 2010  QB fantasy rankings didn’t change that significantly. The 2010 RB fantasy football rankings did have several major changes which are described below. Fantazzle’s Fantasy Football rankings are due to the FSTA and FFLibrarian before the Thu night game so today and early tomorrow we will be cleaning up TE and WR and look to make a 2008 fantasy football ranking impact instead of the 2009 impact….FORTE! Tellin’ ya, never again will I trust a player with an accent aigu.

QB Fantasy Football Rankings

The biggest movers (and really only significant ones at all) were moving Flacco up two spaces and Brady down two spaces. I like moving Flacco up with the addition of Housh as I don’t see how this don’t because a complete passing team except down by the goal line. Don’t get me wrong, Ray Rice is too good not to use him running, but I believe there will be more passing plays with Housh, especially around mid season when he really has the system down, and at the same time dump offs to Ray Rice. Not too bad a safety valve to have eh? Brady was hard to move, but its really hard to read up in NE right now with Welker not fully healed and Randy Moss doing Randy Moss things. That may become a major problem soon. I may be putting Edelman on my WR top 50 as he may get more playing time because of R Moss pouting it up and Bellichek not putting up with it.

ATTENTION - Why read another fantasy football site that posts 2010 fantasy football rankings?

Because in 2008, Fantazzle Fantasy Football Games was recognized as the #1 fantasy football player ranking site among the top names in the fantasy football industry. The award was given by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, FFLibrarian and the NYTimes fantasy football blog is where you can see the results. There were over 20 fantasy football sites in the contest and those sites are widely known as the best sources for fantasy football advice and projections.

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings

As described above in  2008 Fantazzle won a major fantasy football award according to the NYTimes. Fantazzle at the time was five months old. We went up against over twenty (20)  of THE best fantasy sports sites (you all ever hear of YaCPN or ESBShoo?) or straight no messin’ around fantasy football sites period (which all seem to have roto in their name, which according to Wikipedia means broken). I gotta believe you all may have come across these sites along with just a ‘few’  fantasy football magazines over the past few years. I think the number of available fantasy magazines this year FINALLY surpassed the tattoo/motorcycle/wave runner segment, a major victory for the fantasy football industry. Now who’s just a fad?

Now to be fair, this was in 2008 (I can’t believe we are not mentioned anywhere on that link). In 2009? We would rather say we didn’t get our picks in time, but we did and they included Matt Forte among other high profile Bears names classified as under-rated. Let’s just say if the Chicago Bears didn’t ever exist, we would have done pretty well. So we got that going for us… Last year, some compamy called ESBShoo won, wait I got that wrong, it was CBS (congrats!) who probably weren’t so high on Forte, Matt 22 RB (CHI). We will be back on the map this year so we don’t become Michael Clayton (WR)…. who reminds me a lot of Matt Forte last year. What makes it worst is I knew better. Never trust a dude w/ a accent aigu…this isn’t only a fantasy rule, but a life rule that I live by day to day.

Nevertheless – 2008. Created Fantazzle, a daily and weekly fantasy football game company and won the fantasy ranking award. A great start for Fantazzle and just the beginning of more things to come. Just this year, we were invited to be a pro fantasy football player in a great fantasy football game in its 2nd year – RapidDraft. It’s free this year so what do you have to lose, what ~20-30min? I know what you have to win – over $150,000! The great thing about RapidDraft and Fantazzle’s fantasy games are that it is not a random contest with a name drawn out of a hit, they are games which allow your skills determine your outcomes. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have my skills determine if I win or lose rather than a lucky number.

Enough! Lets get on with it. So, the projections below will be Fantazzle’s submission to the 2010 Fantasy Football Accuracy Challenge award. The point system is simple and we are only looking at QB/RB/WR/TE. No points per reception (PPR) and four points for a QB TD. And with that, please enjoy the rankings through agreement or whole heartedly ‘Youuuuu IDIOT!!!!’ I will respond to all comments that are not spam, personally!

Hi all,
Ryan Parr here. I am the founder/CEO of Fantazzle Fantasy Sports Games. We have been getting a lot of questions about the status of our 2010 fantasy football player rankings. Ever since we were recognized as the #1 fantasy football player ranking site for the 2008 NFL season by the FF Librarian and the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, we have had a great following of loyal fantasy readers that we have had the pleasure of interacting with on this very fantasy sports blog, on our Fantasy Sports Twitter Account and on at least one of our many specific fantasy sports pages on Facebook like our Fantasy Football Facebook page. And of course we can’t forget to mention the Fantazzle fantasy site itself.

Allow me a quick moment to reflect, as its been a lot of work from when we started in Sept 2008, up until the very changes you’re seeing now. Three years of hard work, but we have continued to grow and make progress EVERY day and that’s what it’s all about.

I must say that these past three years haven’t been just about the world of business and business lessons, but life lessons with one of the bigger ones learning who your colleagues and friends are. With that, I thank everyone for their part and I look forward to the next three years.

And back to Fantazzle’s 2010 Fantasy Football Player Rankings. We are looking at Monday to start a series of fantasy football player ranking blog posts that will span a few days to build the suspense and tension that all good blogs do (well, that and the work we are doing for the start of the fantasy football season is intense and needs to be done as well).

Speaking of which, if you go to the fantasy games site now, you will see the beginning of a few of the changes you’ll see in the coming weeks. We hope you like the redesign. We believe you will because most of he modifications came from YOU, the user directly, and since these games and everything we do is about the user, it only makes sense to make changes to fit the user.

I look forward to speaking to all of you in the days to come as we start to countdown the two weeks left until that first Sunday aptly named Week One!

Fantazzle Fantasy Football Games – 2009 Quarterback Rankings

Ranking Credibility
In 2008, Fantazzle Fantasy Sports Games, was the #1 preseason fantasy football ranking site by the FSTA and Fantasy Football Librarian besting over 20 fantasy sites, including household names and leaders in sports and fantasy football.

Fantasy Football Quarterbacks – Overall
I have never liked to select a QB early. I always grab two QBs around round ~10 or later where one can be counted on to be consistently avg to above avg. And the other has decent upside. That changed last year when I selected Tom Brady in a lot of drafts where I had a mid first round pick. Well, that didn’t work out so well. QB is starting to become a priority no matter if your playing in a 4pt or 6pt per passing TD. There are just not enough guys I feel comfortable using as starters to wait this late this year. I’m not going to reach for the top tier, but I’m not going to risk missing out on tier 2 guys. Tier 3 are just way too much of a risk with all the team changes and injury concerns.

That said, I feel QBs are relatively easy to rank in the top two tiers, but much harder after that.

Fantasy Football Quarterbacks Scoring
4pts TD; 1pt every 25 yards; -2pts Int/fumble

QUARTERBACKS TIER 1
TIER 1 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks
1 Drew Brees
2 Tom Brady
TIER 2 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks
3 Kurt Warner I hate the injury concern, but he’s a clear #3 if he stays healthy.
4 Philip Rivers
5 Tony Romo I don’t see as big a drop off as everyone else. Big value pick.
6 Peyton Manning Great QB, but he’ll drop slightly from last year making him overrated.
7 Aaron Rodgers Is he as good as everyone thinks? I think he’s slightly overrated.
TIER 3 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks
8 Donovan McNabb His weapons are getting better. He could finish even higher.
9 Matt Schaub Healthy, you’ll get incredible value where he’s being drafted.
10 Jay Cutler He’s too good to drop too much. Not sure people realize that the Bears throw a lot.
TIER 4 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks
11 Matt Hasselback He doesn’t have Holmgren, but I think people forget how good he is.
12 Carson Palmer Risky pick…worth a shot if he drops far enough.
13 Eli Manning
TIER 5 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks
14 Kyle Orton Risky…I’m hating life if I have to start him or anyone below him.
15 Matt Ryan
16 David Garrard
17 Chad Pennington
18 Brett Favre More 2pt games than 20pts. Plus the injury that’s bound to happen.
19 Brady Quinn I’m not recommending, but he does have a lot of potential.
20 Matt Cassel Is he going to miss time with his injury?
21 Ben Roethlisberger There is no way he plays all 16 games.
22 Trent Edwards
23 Jake Delhomme
24 Jason Campbell
25 Joe Flacco

Fantasy Football Quarterbacks – Conclusion
If you get a tier 1, your set. Personally, I’d rather have a Tier 1 WR or top Tier 2 RB, because I know I’ll get a Tier 2 and they’ll do pretty good. I dont see much risk with the Tier 2′s. Barring an unexpected injury, its hard to see any of those guys being busts. Thats makes them a lot different than RBs and to a degree, WRs where a bust is more possible with a T2. If you get a QB you feel is risky, then you better get a good backup (tier 3 or 4…I don’t recommend messing around with T5s).

Good luck!

Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings tomorrow.

In case you didn’t hear, last year Fantazzle took home 1st place for having the most accurate 2008 fantasy football player rankings. I think its important to note that this wasn’t a small time award between a couple of fantasy football centric sites. Nor was the contest run by a unfamiliar name with little credibility. It was run by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) and the Fantasy Football Librarian which is a great site recognized industry wide who doubles as the writer for the NY Times NFL blog called The Fifth Down. The contest run last year attracted more than 20 top name sites in fantasy football including household names like ESPN, CBS Sports, and Yahoo. Not to mention the best of the best in fantasy football centric content, rankings, and analysis.

So it was no small task for a first year fantasy games site to win this award. Fantazzle was/is honored to win the award and gain credibility in the fantasy football industry.

With that said, the past is the past and 2009 fantasy football rankings is what counts and what your all interested in. We hope that the info we provide in the coming days will give you an edge over your competition for FANTASY FOOTBALL 2009!

We are releasing our rankings in a series of posts over the next week. I apologize to any of you who have already drafted or will be drafting this weekend. We wanted our 2009 football rankings to coincide with the re-launch of the new Fantazzle Fantasy Games website which we hope you all like and see as a major upgrade. I feel it is the true beginning of Fantazzle just in time for our weekly fantasy football games. In addition, I understand that some sites released their rankings 3 months ago. I just don’t see this providing a major amount of value. If I released the rankings then (or even a couple of weeks ago, I don’t think it would provide any real insight. These rankings will change, but I think after 2 weeks of pre-season there are actual strong arguements that can be made to support them.

So with that said, on Friday we will start our 2009 fantasy football rankings with the position we ranked #2 for in 2008 – running backs.

Talk soon,
Ryan
