Where did the Week 1 Rankings go? Well, first of all, technically the final draft rankings counted on account of technicality (too little tech, so many counts), but Week 1 was just so wild, the rankings wouldn’t have mattered anyways. It would basically be Wemby on top and Terry Rozier starring in the new Dante’s Inferno remake with everything exploding in the middle. And while I would love talking more about 14th century literature and exploding, we’re here to rank things on a weekly basis. That’s right folks, if you weren’t spoiled by the title, these are your weekly rankings, which shall be updated weekly. CRAZY, I KNOW.
Look, I would love nothing more than to spend 500 characters talking about Austin Reaves 50-piece, but I don’t really want to write about Austin Reaves and also, who can’t score 50 points against this Kings defense? My grandma could and she’s been dead since the Clinton administration.
Regardless, here are your Week 2 Rankings, and as always, submit all your questions below!
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.)

Are you holding Mark Williams instead of picking up Kon K, Sexton or Ryan Rollins. I’m kicking myself for not picking up some of the more obvious pickups during week 1 to hold onto him. Thanks!
