Well hello again, all of my lovelies! Did you miss me? I am sorry that I had to abandon you halfway through your abysmal, injury-plagued seasons last year, but it seems that my work as a Fantasy Royalty called me away for many an Ambassador duties. Not really, I was basically traveling the globe and the deepest, darkest reaches of the planet to find some kind of Medicine Man or Voodoo Priestess to lift this Black Widow Curse from me, to no avail. But, I digress. How are you all holding up? I know you missed me, it’s okay, you don’t have to admit it (I can read your thoughts.) So, anyhoo, here we are again. The 2016 NFL season is closer than that stalker who is STILL living in my bushes outside (I need to start charging that creeper rent). I promise you, I won’t leave you again this season, as long as you stick with me. So, to rekindle all the love we shared and the memories we’ve made over the years, let’s spend a little time together today, get to know one another again, turn the lights down low, and turn on the Fantasy lovin’ with this little preseason edition of Hit it or Quit it...

August 3, 2016 | 2016 Fantasy Football, 2016 Rankings | 10 Commentsby: Jay
2016 Rankings: Top-200 (Standard) | Top-200 (Half-PPR) | Top-200 (PPR) | QB | RB (Standard) | RB (Half-PPR) | RB (PPR) | WR (Standard) | WR (Half-PPR) | WR (PPR) | TE (Standard) | TE (Half-PPR) | TE (PPR) | K | DST
Dynasty Rankings: Top-150 | QB | RB | WR | TE | Top-50 Rookies
Welcome to the first annual Razzball Fantasy Football Dynasty Rankings list-a-roo. I capped it AND italicized it, because it’s just that special. Just like my first time with your mother... Spoiler Alert! We’re doing things keeper league style, dynasty style… whichever nomenclature you prefer. Basically, if you hold onto players for more than a year, these are the rankings you’ve been waiting your whole life for. Whole life maaan. (Seriously. I think...) Remember, the process for this list is quite unique, in that this isn’t your list. It’s my list. So, yeah, I’ll love guys a lot more than you will, or vica versa. And I think these differences can be even more pronounced in this format. It’s just the way it is. So yeah, if you stuck me in a dynasty league this very instant, this is pretty much the list, in order, of who I’d personally want long term. Things like previous production, expected 2016 production, projections for 2016-2018, future potential, age, position, and injury-risk are all things I bake into the rankings. Because what is a Jay post without a food or cooking reference? NOTHING. Regardless, I'm pretty sure that the big takeaway here is that I believe in the Oxford comma. And I guess a lot of comma’s in general. And short sentences. And baking. And food. And your mother. Word.

Greetings! How are things? Horrible? Allllllllrighty then!
Wife's getting her black blown out by the pool guy, and she's divorcing you, and keeping the home with him? Who cares, football season is upon us. Your 15-year old daughter wast just impregnated by a 35 year old meth amphetamine dealer? No worries, my goodmen, football is here! Mouthed off and were embarrassingly pummeled by a couple of teenagers in front of your wife after you caught her eyeballing one of their bulges? It happens, but football season has arrived!
What we have here is my preseason running back rankings. Obviously, there will be more movement on this list in the next couple weeks than some gym shorts filled with a free-balling Shaquille O'Neal, so let's not overreact, aaaaaahkay!
Some P.H.A.T. (Preety hot and temptin) young men I like more than the consensus are: Matt Jones, Latavius Murray, LeSean McCoy (kudos to him for stealing mooching Marcus Vick's baby momma), Carlos Hyde and Jeremy Langford. Disagree with your lord? Do it in the comment section below. I beg of you to challenge thy selves in coming up with a clever way of attacking me. Say one thing for Lord Beddict, he's never been fully sonned in the comment section. You may think you've bested me, but one must be more realistic about these things.
I am Tehol Beddict, and these are my 2016 pre-season RB rankings! Take heed!
2016 Rankings: Tight Ends (Half-PPR)

Dynasty Rankings: Top-150 | QB | RB | WR | TE | Top-50 Rookies
And there it is, all the rankings for the 2016 Fantasy Football season. We've done standard. We've done PPR. We've even done half-PPR. On top of that, we have the top-50 rookies. We even have Tehol providing his own rankings for a second year. And let me tell ya, if any one can put the PP in PPR, it's this guy. And you may think this is the end, not just because Donald Trump is a real thing, but also because I stated that all of my rankings are at completion. Well, technically, that's true. But for the first time, I will be releasing Dynasty Rankings this week. Now, many of you (dozens, at least) might wonder why this hasn't happened yet, and I have to be honest, I had never played in the format, and am happy to admit that I'd be uncomfortable providing advice on things I don't know about. CRAZY CONCEPT, I know. That being said, I've taken part in a few dynasty formats the last few years in what I think are pretty competitive leagues, and now being the head of this site for three years, and through an amazing amount of personal bias, have come to the conclusion that I can now provide Dynasty Rankings that can actually help you. So let's find out! But before that, let's take care of your final Half-PPR rankings with dat Tight End. Mmm.

The Razzball Writers’ 2016 Mock Draft
August 1, 2016 | 2016 Draft Strategy, 2016 Fantasy Football | 6 Commentsby: Zach
Over the past couple of weeks, we have organized and completed a mock draft for you, the readers, to enjoy and dissect.
I am going to be breaking it down here, in this lovely article.
Our mock draft followed the structure of the RCL's, in that we were following 0.5 PPR scoring, and in that our rosters were: QB, 2 HB's, 2 WR's, TE and a FLEX which is the HB/WR/TE. But instead of drafting a K and D/ST and going the full 15 rounds, we decided to only go 9 rounds.
Yes, we drafted a starting lineup, but we also included 2 bench spots to give you guys an idea of which of us prefers one player over another, in order for you guys to get an idea of which sleepers or breakouts to target in your drafts.
Over the course of nine rounds, I came to find that, once you get into the later rounds, it's slim pickings for backs and receivers, unlike TE's and QB's, where there are plenty of options that we can hang our hats on. That is something that is crucial on draft day. Waiting on QB's and TE's until the last possible second, in the hopes of nailing a big sleeper, like last year's Blake Bortles or Jordan Reed, is not that bad of a plan, and I would certainly not hesitate to go that route.
Our objective is to give you guys an idea for how not only the RCL's should go, but also your drafts, and how the first rounds should go. Keep in mind this draft board would look a lot different than if we were only drafting with 10 teams, or even 14.
So let's get started!
