Week 8 composite rankings

Let’s begin being wrong all over again while seeing how much others around the Interwebs have failed, because if there’s one skill I’ve mastered, it’s deflecting blame elsewhere.

Week 8 is here, so as is our custom we have lots of players ranked numerically according to their predicted level of awesomeness. We can safely assume that the guy pictured above will be rather proficient while passing the football against Jacksonville and its 24th-ranked passing defense.

But what of all the other players at all the other positions? There are charts for that. With the help of Devang Desai, the Robin to my Batman (or perhaps he prefers Poochie), we went through the weekly adventure of compiling the composite rankings from our usual group of experts while chiming in with some musings of our own. This week we used NFL.com‘s Michael Fabiano and Adam Rank, and Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard from CBSSports.com

Week 7 composite rankings

Drew Brees will thoroughly enjoy throwing against the league's 31st ranked secondary.

Numbers? We got ‘em. Lots of ‘em.

Culled from five experts — NFL.com‘s Michael fabiano and Matt Smith, and Jamey Eisenberg, Nathan Zegura, and Dave Richard from CBSSports.com — and filtered through a calculator capable of only basic addition and division (read: myself and Devang Desai), you’re encouraged to use the composite rankings below as your fantasy bible this week. Or at least your fantasy pamphlet.

On to the listicles.

Today’s rankings are a bit of a mess. Bye week madness combined with murky injury situations have the experts all over the place. This week we compiled the thoughts of Michael Fabiano, Adam Rank and Dave Dameshek of NFL.com along with Jamey Eisenberg and Nathan Zergura of CBS Sports.

On to the rankings.

As long as you keep playing fantasy football, we’ll keep releasing composite rankings lists. For those of you who are new to the site, the composite rankings list is created using the fantasy rankings of experts Michael Fabiano/Adam Rank of NFL.com and Dave Richard/Jamey Eisenberg of CBSSports.com.

We then combine these rankings into five idiot-proof charts. We know that they’re idiot-proof because even I understand how to read them.

Week 4 composite player rankings

This has been an insane week for the National Football League. With scab referees destroying at least one game (possibly two), it seems as though the NFL has finally grown tired of dangerous incompetence and is poised to reach an agreement with the NFLRA. This means that soon we could be screaming and cursing our voices hoarse at unionized officials. Officials who are not only qualified and have a proper grasp on the basic rules and nuances of professional football, but ones who don’t need to have half-hour long conferences each time they need to make a simple holding call.

The only thing that hasn’t changed this week is our collective lust for fantasy football. As always, I’ve collected the rankings of Michael Fabiano/Adam Rank of NFL.com and Dave Richard/Jamey Eisenberg of CBSSPORTS.com and combined them into five convenient charts.

Week 3 composite player rankings

It’s week three of the NFL season, and I’ve spent hours (my eyeballs hurt) combining the fantasy rankings of experts Michael Fabiano/Adam Rank of NFL.com and Dave Richard/Jamey Eisenberg of CBSSports.com into five easy-to-read charts.

Why did I do this?

Is it because I love you? Is it an assigned job? Am I secretly feeding you false information on the off-chance that we’re playing each other in fantasy football this week?

I’m not going to dignify any of those questions with a response. There’s no need to question my motivation, just enjoy this weeks’ rankings.

Week 2 composite player rankings

With week one officially in the books, we’re back to bring you a fresh set of composite player rankings. It’s all part of our quest to help you taste sweet, sweet victory in your fantasy football league. That is, unless you’re in my fantasy football league, then I hope all of your players become disgruntled and sit out as part of a massive contract dispute (I’m a very petty man).

Last week’s rankings were almost entirely based on potential, but with real games factoring into this week’s numbers, we may be able to get a more accurate read on how a player might perform this year (albeit with a very small sample size).

This week’s experts are: Michael Fabiano/Adam Rank of NFL.com and Dave Richard/Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Sports.com.
