We are here to once again lay down some updated rankings… now that the season is past the half-way complete for most, if not all teams, we still have the All-Star game (less important) and the trade deadline (more important) looming. The world awaits with baited breath as Giannis continues to hold the market hostage… will he be moved in the next couple of weeks? I personally don’t think so, but in a world where Luka Doncic was traded for what remains of Anthony Davis’ body just a season ago, I think it’s proper to say we have no idea what’s going to happen. Except you’ll have rankings to compare, contrast, and guide your hand in the coming weeks. Look, not all connections are solid, just ask your mother. Aye-oh. Here are your half-way season rankings!
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.)
