Welcome to the 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball Season! As some of you might have heard, or technically read, the NBA season has started and we are already on our way to wrapping up the first opening weekend of what should be another great year. A new change from last season is the implementation of our Rest of Season Rankings. I’ll be pretty straight-forward here, this is a new function of the FantasyPros platform, so I’ll be trying to keep this updated and posted every week if the system allows. If not, we’ll figure out another method, but the main gist is that this will be an efficient way to get easy-to-digest trends and updates.
We’ll do our best to keep the content flowing, for like spice, it must, it must! (Yes, it’s still within the timeframe to do Dune references…) But in the meantime, it’s nice to have a current snapshot of the league as we move forward. At least your mom thinks it’s nice!
What are my rankings bona fidas? Well, there’s finishing in the FantasyPros Fantasy Football Top-10 Draft Accuracy (7th Place) in 2017, Top-25 Weekly Accuracy (23rd Place) in 2017, Top-5 Draft Accuracy (3rd place) in 2016, Top-10 Weekly Accuracy (10th Place) in 2016, Top-25 Weekly Accuracy in 2015 (21st Place) and on average we’ve finished in the Top-10 Draft Accuracy (9th Overall) and the Top-20 Weekly Accuracy (18th Overall) from 2014-2018. And this is out of over 100+ industry sites and experts’ year-after-year. Even though it’s the wrong sport, I’d like to think we’re pretty good at this stuff…
What does the word bona fidas mean? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, bo·na fi·des ˌbō-nə-ˈfī-ˌdēz , ÷ˈbō-nə-ˌfīdz means 1 : good faith : sincerity, 2 : the fact of being genuine —often plural in construction, 3 : evidence of one’s good faith or genuineness —often plural in construction, 4 : evidence of one’s qualifications or achievements —often plural in construction. On a separate note, I think it would make a great name for a cat.
What’s my ranking process? I’ve actually written about this in the past, and instead of working hard for new and enlightening content, I have chosen the more efficient (lazy, ahem) method and dropping in a link to that post here. Honestly, my process hasn’t changed much at all (the ole “don’t fix what ain’t broke” proverb comes to mind) and so my “A Day in the Life of a Fantasy Football Ranker” story still remains relevant to this day and now for Fantasy Basketball!
How should I use your rankings? The same way your mother does. Which actually makes no sense. (Unless your mother is in the running to always finishes top-3 in your Fantasy Basketball league. And if that’s the case, say hello to her for me.)
