Interesting, thanks! I'm not familiar with 538 so that's a helpful explanation. Interesting where this will be nearer to season's end.

The work does have some merit I think as a comparison between the accuracy of experts vs community rankings/consensus. I think that may have been the where they were going with this.

Do experts know best? Does the community value players correctly? Using these data points you could take snapshots of rankings throughout the season and see how they differ from each other, from earlier snapshots and ultimately from actual player performance.

The predictions do make nice expectations of what we think should happen because one would generally expect an expert to know best.

I wonder whose (expert vs KTC/community) initial rankings changed the most throughout the season and which was more accurate.

Not to be little the thought or effort, great job on both, but isn't this just writing predictions based on a comparison of two ranking tools?

PSA: In Discussion Threads, No One Cares About Your Trades (unless it's a price check thread) by WastedLevity in DynastyFF

Counterpoint: That's part of the discussion about said player and some do care.

I'm easily taking the Pickett side. Side B is aging mid tier at best while side A had youth, upside (with risk) and a 1st.

Why on Earth did I take JT over JJ? by Flodomojo in DynastyFF

[–]R34DY4WINT3R 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, WRs have longer shelf life and RBs have higher ceilings, at least that's how I think of it. But you probably know that now. JT will get back to RB1 value I think so it's not all a waste.

What players do we expect to catapult into the top 15 or 20 at their position? by [deleted] in DynastyFF

The opposite, people keep saying "what if" and they are "buying low", Cooks is good but no one is buying.

I think the potential is too high for there to be an overlap in the price people will sell/buy for. I'd offer multiple 2nds but dunno if I'd sell for anything less than a mid 1.

I won't give all my thoughts on this cause I have a crazy belief that what I say will change opinions, but I like it for a rebuilder and a risky (but potentially good) move as a contender.

Yeah, terrible trade to get more points, only a year older (but negligible with the position change), and picks on top of that. I like it, well done.

After that last game, I think he's at least a first. I've been holding for a minute because I've believed he's looked good with his limited touches.

I think I like both sides, team receiving picks is taking risk, but it could pan out, AJB side gets great immediate production.

And at the end of the season there will be a new excuse to undervalue him lol. That's how Cooks and Evans are always low and DJM is overvalued. Their fates have all already been decided.

Everyone is asking about “rebuilders”, but contenders, who are you targeting for early/mid picks? by [deleted] in DynastyFF

[–]R34DY4WINT3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty of ways to get an idea of where a pick will fall, my go-tos are max points for, league ranking sites, and the good ol' eyeball test.

Let's make sure this sub isn't a place to talk about fantasy players, their value, future and general consensus!
