Top 40 Linebacker Rankings for 2021 IDP Fantasy Football

July 25, 2021 | IDP Rankings | Leave a comment

With training camps starting up this week, it’s time to get defensive!

“Wait, defense??? You mean those nameless guys that try to stop my running backs and wide receivers from scoring fantasy points?”

Yes! Well, sort of… Believe it or not, there are those of us so depraved that we actually play in fantasy football leagues that include Individual Defensive Players (IDPs); With this first set of rankings, we’ll focus on the heart of those IDP rosters, the linebackers. With linebackers, much like running backs (perhaps even more so), you should focus on full-time players who rarely leave the field. Generally, more snaps = more opportunities to produce statistics, a.k.a. fantasy points. These rankings will reflect just that.

“Yeah, yeah, I get it. I should roster LBs who play a lot… not exactly rocket science, pal. Just tell me who they are! Name names!”

Wow, impatient much? Ok, ok, fine! Without further ado, here are the top 40 linebackers for 2021 redraft leagues. Enjoy!

B_Don and Donkey Teeth are looking at the WR position. Donkey Teeth published his top 10 WR rankings for 2021 fantasy football on the site. While the guys are fairly lockstep among the top tier, they have some differences of opinion on the 2nd and 3rd tier. Listen in to hear why DT is all over Keenan Allen this year and who B_Don is moving up into his top 10.

What is up everybody? It’s EverywhereBlair, coming to you from the UP region — no not the Pixar movie, that area near the talon of Michigan — where I’m currently surrounded by a thousand acres of forest and eagles. I’m taking advantage of a rainy morning to bring you — yes you! — a recap of my DataForce Charity League best ball draft, which will help illustrate draft tactics that will be useful for all of you as we enter the main fantasy football draft season. 

Meet me after the jump and I’ll show you Konami Code I used to help my draft strategy against a draft room filled with touts and, well, me.

Tevin Coleman – Trust the Dish You Know

Set the scene – you haven’t eaten all day and you’re really hungry. Youre going out to dinner with friends, and they decide to go to a Thai restaurant. You don’t usually choose Thai in your normal dinner rotation, but you’ve had it before and don’t hate it. You open the menu and see dishes with names that aren’t exactly familiar to you. Some of them don’t even look too appetizing. You have to choose between Som Tum, Tom Yum Goong, Gaeng Daeng and Pad Thai. Ah, Pad Thai! You’ve seen that name before. You think you may have had that once and you don’t remember if you liked it or not, but you think it was ok. Naturally, you order the Pad Thai and hope it works out for you. Well, the Thai menu is the New York Jets backfield, and the Pad Thai is Tevin Coleman.

Rookie Quarterback Rankings for 2021 Dynasty Fantasy Football

July 13, 2021 | Fantasy Football Dynasty League Rankings | Leave a comment

by:

When looking at rookie quarterbacks, redraft league players can pretty much forget the class and even dynasty league managers with 1QB don’t need to stick their neck out for a rookie. However, with the growing popularity of superflex and 2QB leagues, selecting a rookie signal caller has become more important.  These types of leagues are often starved for starting QBs and the only way to obtain one is a difficult trade or drafting an incoming prospect. For managers in these types of leagues, this could be the most important article you read this summer! 

Two metrics that I value in quarterbacks are completion percentage and yards per attempt. If a prospect can deliver the ball to his receiver as well as challenge the defense downfield, that’s likely a recipe for success. For more information on my process, check out last year’s rookie quarterback rankings.

Top 30 Quarterbacks for 2021 Fantasy Football

July 12, 2021 | Fantasy Football Rankings | Leave a comment

When I released my top 10 quarterbacks for 2021 fantasy football there was shock from how high Jalen Hurts checked in. There was awe from how low Dak Prescott fell. And there was guilt from Tom Brady’s snubbing. So I retreated in shame, into a cave. Each day tabulating the numbers, ranking and re-ranking, visualizing which quarterbacks would be the 11th thru 30th best fantasy QBs in the year of two-thousand-twenty-one. After two weeks in solitude I emerged from the cave victorious, with a new completely random list of quarterbacks and E. coli from the squirrel poop water I drank. Anyway, here’s my top 30 quarterbacks for 2021 fantasy football:

Fantasy Football Podcast: Top 10 RBs and SFB11 Best Ball Draft

July 7, 2021 | Fantasy Football Podcast |

by:

B_Don and Donkey Teeth are back to talk about their Scott Fish Bowl best ball draft with a bunch of familiar faces around these Razzball parts. B_Don and Donkey Teeth both start with a QB, but then head in opposite directions. DT fires off a couple of RBs, and then what does B_Don think about his Keenan Allen pick in the 4th? On the other side, B_Don starts QB/QB and fires off Mixon, AJB to pair with Tannehill, and then 2 more RBs. Find out how the guys plan to approach the rest of the draft and superflex/TE premium leagues in general. 

The guys then move on to Donkey Teeth’s top 10 RB rankings. The disagreement starts right off the bat with 1, 2, and 3. CMC is consensus, but is that the smart money if you are aiming to get the #1 RB at the end of the year? If not, who would the guys bet on? The guys discuss the risk level on Derrick Henry and Alvin Kamara for completely different reasons. Tier 3 is fairly large for both of us, but our orders are a bit different.

Divine Secrets of the Yahoo Drafting Rooms

I was recently reviewing my very first ever fantasy football draft. I often get nostalgic and find myself looking back. The first team I could find stored in a draft history option from a site was from 2009. A great squad of since retired players like Maurice Jones-Drew, Reggie Wayne, Pierre Thomas, and Tom Brady… Never mind on that last one. Congrats Mr. Brady on reaching the midpoint of your career in Tampa Bay. Looking forward to your next sixteen seasons and your Canton induction in 2041, I mean if you can get the resumé together.
