As promised, this week we’ve included Rudy’s Week 16 Rankings as part of the consensus as a special holiday treat from Razzball to you. Honestly, this has been a big year in terms of Rudy’s “Bot”, which has single-handily put this site on the forefront of the industry in terms of data projection and turning that into tangible and successful rankings for mass consumption. Mmmm, consumption. But seriously, if you haven’t had a chance to use any of these great subscription options, here’s the chance to use them in your ever so important match-ups this week for free!

Congrats to Rudy for a great year, and a special thank you to those out there in the Razzball community. Follow us after the jump for your Official 2017 Razzball Staff Rankings for Week 16! (Rudy might even stop by to say hello!)

The year is winding down, and I have no idea how my liver survived it, especially this one imparticular. From Gurley to Trump, I can safely say that me typing this alive (and moderately well!)… has led me to believe that alcoholism is fake news. I WANNA BELIEVE.

That being said, my own personal goal is to land in the top-20 (where Rudy currently resides… Way to go Razzbro!), which would allow me to say “Razzball has been in the top-20 of fantasy accuracy of all industry experts for the past three years”. Because three is better than two. Unless it’s Ebola. We don’t need more than zero of that sh*t, ya dig? So, we have one week left, and wouldn’t you know, it’s probably your Championship week. So let’s get our rankings suit on (boxers plus a PBR… YMMV) and get Week 16 Rankings going!

All of your distracted day dreaming and line up research comes down to one final week. It’s the fantasy football Super Bowl. Only, there is no halftime show or Roger Goodell handing out a trophy to an earthquake of boos and hisses. The anxiety and thrill starting this Saturday afternoon are worth the 15 prior weeks of making the least amount of untimely mistakes in your league.

The first time that I won my big-money home league, the one that I obsess over, was Le’Veon Bell’s rookie year. He had a late afternoon game that day and I was in pretty decent shape through the first set of games. All that I needed was a pretty decent game from him to clinch the title. Bell ran for 124 yards (his first career 100+ yard rushing game) and a touchdown against the Packers that day and I won pretty comfortably. Each title feels great but nothing compares to the first one with the big pay day against the buddies that you talk shit with week in and week out. But, whether you play for money, a belt, a ring, a trophy or some combination, I think the jabs at your league mates and unbridled confidence at the next season’s draft is the best part. Here are my week 16 rankings. I will see you all in the comment section. Even if you don’t have a line up question, you should drop a couple lines about your favorite fantasy title that you have ever won.

Tired of clicking multiple links just to look up where one of our writers ranked Gerald Everett? Wondering who Gerald Everett is? Good, because I’m with you on both counts! With MB and Zach providing the Razzball readers with their own rankings (a contrarian consensus, as I like to say, to pretend I’m clever), we’re going to provide our 2017 Fantasy Football Staff Rankings for the first time ever, a place where you can find all of our weekly rankings in one spot! The players will be sorted by our average ranking, providing you a great way to see how the Razzball Staff feels (questions posted in our comment section will be answered by all ranking writers!), and it’ll also provide our specific rankings so you know how each of us feel about a player. So many feels, so little time. Follow us after the jump for your Official 2017 Razzball Staff Rankings for Week 15!

Note: As a mini-holiday gift, our next Staff Consensus for Championship Week will include Rudy’s Rankings, which are in the Top-10 right now. Happy Holidays, and good luck!
