For the past few seasons (well actually, every season since I joined the league now that I think about it,) Frostbite has put together fantasy football rankings for those who might not pay close attention to the ISFL's regularly scheduled sims. You can find Frost's rankings from this season, titled Fantasy Advice for those who are confused - S28 Edition in the link directly to the left of the words you're currently reading. Let me be the first person in this thread to praise Frost's continued efforts to make fantasy drafting an easier and more enjoyable process for all of us. Regardless of accuracy or inaccuracy (don't worry we'll be getting to that at one point or another), at the very least the guy is speeding up drafts around the league for us, right? There's something to be said for his efforts, as much as frost sux lmap.
Back in my day, during my first 2-3 seasons in the league, Speculadora would put together his own fantasy rankings, and it was always really nice and extra helpful to have two different sets of rankings to compare and contrast with each other. Which is where the other guy in the title of my thread (remember him?) happens to come in; on Monday, March 22nd at 9:26 PM EST, Slate submitted his ISFL fantasy rankings, Slightly Late Fantasy Advice For Those Who Are Confused But Don't Trust Frost, giving users all around the league an alternative way of viewing their ISFL drafts if they felt they couldn't trust someone who sux as much as Frost. Now, we could probably let the fact that both Slate and Frost are members of the Sarasota Sailfish slide, if it weren't for the fact that Slate posted his fantasy advice mere hours after Frost posted his own rankings - it was at this point that I started to wonder if some sort of a leaguewide conspiracy could be afoot between Slate and Frost. I don't know what exactly this conspiracy would entail, but I can tell you for certain - something smells fishy here. Sailfishy.
Now that I've thrown around baseless accusations and cast a shadow of doubt upon two of the league's most wonderful fishe, we can move on with the article. I'm sure by this point you may be asking yourself "Rev, why in the world are you doing an analysis of user submitted fantasy rankings now when it's only week 10?" To you, dear questioner, I answer:
![[Image: tenor.gif?itemid=16595801]](https://media1.tenor.com/images/ce5fee8b0a7cfd1a6fac37fdb583dbee/tenor.gif?itemid=16595801)
Yes, much like all of those singing opera people on that bus, I have a structured settlement but I need cash now. Plus now I can say I beat Infinite's inevitably vastly superior article to the punch, and if I need money at the end of the season, I can criticize my own article! Or just criticize Frost and Slate some more. Either way, my bank account is in the midst of a drought and I need moneys, thus, I turn to criticizing the hard work of others. I would make a great news pundit. Let's get ranking!
Off the bat, Slate gets points over Frost for putting players into tiers and identifying potential waiver wire breakouts. Good job Slate, I love to see you one up Frost by going the extra mile. Frost did include a "players you must draft if they fall to the second" section, which is pretty darn helpful, but when we remember that frost sux, it starts to become just a tad underwhelming.
I'm thinking the way I will list this is by rattling off the actual rankings of how much each player has scored thus far in the season, and then tell you where Slate and Frost had them ranked next to that. And then I'll do some more blurbing. I'm thinking I will stop ranking each position once I get to several players in a row who were left unranked by both Slate and Frost, or I'll stop if I feel I've done a reasonable number of people from that position group, whichever comes later (edit after the fact: I lied, I just did groups of 10.) I am also going to include dollar signs next to rankings in which either slate or frost are.. wait for it.. right on the money with their rankings. Get it? Dollar signs? Money? Feel free to drop a comment down below about how much you're enjoying this article so far. Go on, I'll wait here until you get back. Remember two paragraphs ago when I said let's get ranking?
Quarterbacks
1. Caliban, M. - QB - COL - 191.00 points (Frost: 5th, Slate: 4th)
2. Jack, C. - QB - YKW - 173.10 points (Frost: 4th, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. O'Donnell, G. - QB - CHI 159.60 points (Frost: 6th, Slate: 3rd $$)
4. Cortez, C. - QB - AZ - 158.80 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: also not ranked but listed as a potential waiver breakout!)
5. Ramza, S. - QB - OCO - 154.20 points (Frost: 2nd, Slate: 5th $$)
6. Slothlisberger ©, B. - QB - NOLA - 153.40 points (Frost: 1st, Slate: 1st)
7. Kaepercolin, N. - QB - BER - 150.30 points (Frost: 3rd, Slate: 8th)
8. Jack, M. - QB - SJS - 143.00 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
9. Daytona ©, J. - QB - AUS - 137.50 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Fujiwara ©, C. - QB - HON - 133.70 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: 7th)
And there we have our quarterbacks. For those first five picks, I was starting to think Slate has a secret insider on the sim team or something, because he was right on the money with a lot of those early picks. Neither Slate nor Frost expected Caliban to be performing at the level he is, and let's be honest, I don't think many people outside of Colorado did either. That being said, it's really not particularly surprising that Caliban is playing so well, considering how much he overperformed expectations that were set for him by many folks around the league last season. Frost was a little low on Colby, while Slate was right on the money with YKW's former league MVP. Next up, my own personal fantasy football QB who I managed to steal in the very last round of my group's draft, George O'Donnell. Once again Slate is right on the money, while Frost is a doubter of what true talent looks like. I think most people reading this can agree that Charlemagne Cortez is the biggest surprise on this list so far - neither of our Fantasy Football experts had him ranked on their lists (although Slate did very accurately predict that Cortez would be a waiver acquisition worth keeping an eye on) and yet he's currently fourth among quarterbacks. What's more, Cortez is less than a point away from third place! O'Donnell and Cortez may as well be tied right now for the sake of our rankings.
Suleiman Ramza, my personal favorite quarterback in the league, comes up next on this list with an admirable but too damn low 154.2 points, which is good enough to make him the 5th best fantasy quarterback in the league thus far. Hopefully Ramza will be able to show off his rushing talent and cover some ground on catching up in these rankings as he deserves. If you weren't surprised by Charlemagne Cortez's place on this list, surely you're surprised by Ben Slothisberger's, right? Sloth has always been one of my favorite named players in the league (don't get me wrong though, steelers/ben = stinky), so it was really cool to see him pop off last season and be, if I remember correctly, the single best fantasy quarterback in the league. It is equally uncool to see him hurdle back to earth like this - hopefully he gets some better luck to close out this season/open next season. Just not against OCO. Nick Kaepercolin takes the 7th ranked spot on our list - Frolf was pretty high on Kaepercolin (and when you look at the way Berlin is playing this season, it makes perfect sense why he would've been), whereas Slate was just about on the money with his ranking. Monty Jack is being slept on by Slate, Frost, and the sim. #Justice4Monty. Daytona was not ranked by either of our gurus and yet he cracked the list, so that seems like a plus for him! Wrapping up our list we have the bomb slinger herself, Chika Fujiwara, whose offensive line is currently allowing more sacks than any other team. It makes it hard for her to rise up in the rankings if she's never on her feet - someone get that gal some protection.
Running Backs
1. Nakamura ©, T. - RB - AZ - 213.30 points (Frolf: 1st $$, Slate: 1st $$)
2. Chan, R. - RB - SAR - 193.20 points (Frolf: 2nd $$, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. Petrongolo, J. - RB - BER - 160.70 points (Frolf: 7th, Slate: 7th)
4. Watts, Z. - RB - AUS - 148.30 points (Frolf: 3rd, Slate: 5th)
5. Rogers ©, C. - RB - NYS - 135.30 points (Frolf: 9th, Slate: 11th)
6. Gilbert, R. - RB - COL - 132.00 points (Frolf: 10th, Slate: 6th $$)
7. Lackson ©, J. - RB - SJS - 131.70 points (Frolf: 4th, Slate: 4th)
8. Williams, D. - RB - PHI - 129.30 points (Frolf: 5th, Slate: 3rd)
9. Ayers, N. - RB - HON - 121.10 points (Frolf: 8th, Slate: 8th) so close!
10. Thorbjornsson, G. - RB - AZ - 113.30 points (Frolf: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
I would definitely say there were a few more surprises in the running back category than there were in the quarterback category! Which is funny, because we start this category off with probably the two least surprising players in all of S28 ISFL fantasy. I have yet to see a S28 fantasy draft in which Nakamura and Chan didn't go 1st and 2nd overall (or 2nd and 1st) respectively. I'm sure there are a few that are out there, but they're definitely the minority. Slate and Frost both managed to get their first two picks right on the money. Next up comes Joe Petrongolo, who has been a top running back in fantasy the past few seasons, so it was surprising to see both Slate and Frost rank him at 7th. It is especially surprising for Frost, considering how high he was on Berlin going into this season (again, obviously his trust in the Hot Sally's was not misplaced.) Watts was ranked at 3rd and 5th by Frost and Slate respectively, so naturally, she split the difference and is currently our fourth ranked RB in the league. After Watts, there's a bit of a tier drop off and running back performances start to get a lot closer to one another. Rogers has been solid the past 2-3 seasons with NYS but this seems to be his best year to date. Gilbert was crazy last season thanks in part to all of the pancakes he managed to rack up; he's probably a good chunk of the reason that non OL don't get fantasy points for pancakes anymore. Lackson continues to be one of the hardest running backs in the league to judge preseason. I seriously never know what to expect from Jamar. Slate and Frolf managed to agree on where he should be ranked, but alas, it was three spots too high. Slate sold me on Darrell Williams this season and I ended up drafting him in the 3rd or 4th round, but alas he's not doing quite as well as we expected. Both Slate and Frost were almost right on the money with Ayers! Alas, no cigar. Last, and clearly not least or else he wouldn't even be listed, we've got Gunnar Thjorbjorbjorssjonjosjosjon. Neither Slate nor Frost had Z-Whiz ranked here (and mind you, they both ranked 18 running backs,) so the fact that Thorbjornssssssssssssssssssson has cracked the top 10 means he's outperforming a whole lot of expectations. Good job Z.
Wide Receivers
1. Lim, W. - WR - COL - 166.00 points (Fronk: 1st $$, Slate: 1st $$)
2. Barker, E. - WR - NOLA - 144.00 points (Fronk: 5th, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. Videl-San - WR - AUS - 142.30 points (Fronk: 8th, Slate: 7th)
4. Campbell, J. - WR - CHI - 132.20 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: 15th)
5. Despacito Jr., G. - WR - OCO - 129.40 points (Fronk: 12th, Slate: 13th)
6. Achtfunf © - WR - BER - 126.50 points (Fronk: 6th $$, Slate: 10th)
7. Holloway, O. - WR - OCO - 124.70 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: 12th)
8. Raimon, T. - WR - AZ - 123.60 points (Fronk: 9th, Slate: 4th)
9. Delacour, R. - WR - COL - 123.00 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Chambers, K. - WR - PHI - 121.30 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
Alright, so remember when I called Nakamura and Chan probably the two least surprising players in ISFL fantasy this season? The reason I said probably is because of one Mr. William Lim. Maybe it's happened before and I just missed it, but I legitimately do not remember an ISFL fantasy season that I've participated in where Lim wasn't a top 3 receiver, and more often than not, he's #1 in the league among receivers. I think a lot of people expected Barker to be the #2 receiver this season, especially after his dominant performance last season, but I will say it's surprising he's managed to live up to that #2 expectation considering the team around him has had their fair share of struggles so far. Videl-San's performance is surprising to me (and to Frost and Slate too, apparently), but it sure makes sense when you look at Austin's record and the way Daytona is outperforming expectations. These next two are probably the biggest surprises we've seen so far in these rankings - Campbell and my boy Garfield Despacito Jr. weren't expected to ball out this season, at least not to the level they are balling. Despacito is currently 3rd in the league in receiving yards, while Campbell is 4th despite only having 50 catches, which gives him an absolutely nasty 18.5 yards per catch. Achtfunf is performing exactly where Frost expected him to (good job frost! Nice to be able to put some dollar signs next to your name), while Owen Holloway is performing exactly where nobody outside of OCO expected him to; Frost did not have Holloway ranked this season, while Slate had him as the 12th best receiver in the draft. So actually, 5 off ain't too bad! Good job Slate. Speaking of Slate, both he and I were apparently juuuuust a little higher on Raimon than his stats suggest we should have been. But Raimon still made the list! That's a dub in my book. Closing out our WR list we've got Raphael Delacour from the Yeti and Killian Chambers from the Ringy Dings, both of whom were completely and totally unranked by our fantasy football masterminds. Delacour isn't entirely surprising considering the efficiency of the Yeti passing attack and the way Caliban is slinging it this season, but it's still a hell of a feat to crack season 28's top 10 wide receivers as a S27 player. Former Philadelphia GM Killian Chambers ends our list thanks to the fact that he is currently 5th in receiving yards despite Philadelphia rockin a rookie quarterback this season.
Notable people missing from this top 10 list include New York's star receiver Jackson Kingston (he probably isn't catching as much this season because his corneas have been seared by all that light mode discord browsing), who Frost had ranked as the 3rd best receiver in Fantasy compared to Slate's ranking of 9th. Yellowknife Wraith’s Star receiver was ranked highly by Frost, but is unfortunately absent from the top 10 as of right now. Unfortunate considering Colby to Sakura is one of the highest TPE quarterback to wide receiver connections in the ISFL right now. Sim gonna sim, and poor Kai is getting simmed. Ty Hood is also missing from this list; Frost had Hood ranked at 4th and Slate had him ranked at 3rd, so I think he could very well end up being both Slate and Frost's biggest miss of this entire article. The emergence of Josh Campbell as a top receiver in fantasy means that another Chicago receiver who everyone expected to continue her dominance, Luca Scabbia, has unfortunately.. discontinued her dominance. But she'll be back! Just you wait. Maybe. Either way, Falconi should be in the ISFL hall of fame, don't @ me. I mean come on, three ultiminis in a row. Slate had Scabbia ranked at 5th, while Frost had her at 10th. Wittheblock was another miss for both of the Sarasota Fantasy Boyz; Frost had him ranked 7th while Slate had him ranked 6th.
Tight Ends
1. Lewandowski, J. - TE - SJS - 88.00 points (Frop: 6th, Slate: 5th)
2. Rechs, Z. - TE - YKW - 79.50 points (Frop: 3rd, Slate: 3rd)
3. Boyd, C. - TE - BER - 73.00 points (Frop: 4th, Slate: 6th)
4. Gelbman ©, T. - TE - CHI - 72.30 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: 7th)
5. Evans ©, H. - TE - OCO - 70.10 points (Frop: 2nd, Slate: 2nd)
6. Angler, J. - TE - SAR - 64.90 points (Frop: 1st, Slate: 1st)
7. McCormick, A. - TE - NOLA - 57.80 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
8. Krashwagen, R. - TE - HON - 52.30 points (Frop: 5th, Slate: 4th)
9. Vequain, F. - TE - AUS - 48.00 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: 8th)
10. Michell, F. - TE - COL - 40.50 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
Remember when tight ends used to be absolute game changers in ISFL fantasy? Looking at this list makes me wonder what the hell happened. I can't even entirely blame it on pancake points being taken away from TEs (although I will take this opportunity to complain about that, because why shouldn't blocking ability make a difference in which TE you choose? Pancake points made the position as a whole more competitive instead of every one simply trying to figure out which TE is going to be playing wide receiver in the most formations. Rant over, sorry Bayley) because that was something that only lasted one season. I will say, I do kind of prefer this - I'd rather every tight end be somewhat overwhelming than have 2-3 tight ends be head and shoulders above the rest of them, as we've seen in many fantasy seasons in the past. So I guess this is actually pretty cool! Back to analysis.
Lewandowski deserves to have a year on top of the TE position group. There, I said it. Every year is supposed to be his year and every year the sim mistreats this poor tight end, so it's nice to see him outperform the expectations set for him by our fantasy heroes. Rechs was a top tight end last season and he continues that trend by being a top TE this season, only with less points, because they've ripped tight end pancake points out of his cold dead wraith-y hands. I think I would've agreed with Frost about where he ranked Boyd prior to the season, 4th seemed like a good spot, and he's doing us one better by being 3rd. Gelbman was another top TE last year thanks to flapjack points, but alas, how the mighty will fall when you take away their breakfast. Heep Ebbins is no stranger to the top TEs in the league list, but he's a bit of a stranger to being outside of the top 3. Hopefully the sim will come to its senses soon and realize you don't mess with greatness. Angler was ranked 1st by both Slate and Frost but he has definitely struggled a bit this season compared to his regular output. McCormick is the last old fuddy duddy on this list - neither of our fantasy fellas had McCormick ranked, so naturally, Noka decided to ball out this season to make the list and prove to the doubters that he still has it. Krashwagen is one of the youngest guys on this list, along with Frank Michell from Colorado (shoutout to Deadly for making the list despite not being ranked by either Slate or Frost hell yeah Deadly good job.) Vequain is the first player on any of these lists that I have never heard of, so good for him for making the top 10 TEs list!
Offensive Line
1. Dolls, B. - T - BER - 173.00 points (Forstt: 4th, Slate: 8th)
2. Mellott, A. - T - NOLA - 164.00 points (Forst: 3rd, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. Buckley, B. - T - YKW - 156.00 points (Forst: 2nd, Slate: 3rd $$)
4. Golladay, C. - T - AZ - 156.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 4th $$)
5. Magic, M. - T - CHI - 152.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
6. Sly, G. - T - COL - 148.00 points (Forst: 1st, Slate: 5th)
7. Trunks, F. - T - OCO - 140.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 7th $$)
8. Quigley, C. - T - AUS - 139.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 6th)
9. Jones, J. - T - CHI - 138.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Tremblay ©, S. - T - PHI - 136.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 1st)
The list of top offensive linemen is basically just a list of which OLinemen have the most pancakes. I do think it's worth noting that Mellott is only 7 pancakes behind Dolls (89 from Dolls vs 82 from Mellott), while Mellott has allowed 0 sacks and Dolls has allowed 1, yet Dolls is still 9 points above Mellott. Should allowing a sack take away more points than it currently does? I don't know, I'm just spit balling. Maybe 7 pancakes is a much bigger difference than I seem to think it is. Slate managed to hit the nail right on the head with FOUR of his rankings in this one, which is damn impressive. I'd argue it's maybe even impressive enough to forgive his ranking of OLine GOAT Simon Tremblay at 1st and Dolls at 8th. Seriously, great job in this category Slate. There are some misses, but to be as accurate as Slate was, especially in ISFL fantasy football's newest position group, is some damn fine work.
Defense
1. Sarasota Sailfish DEF - 226.60 points (Frostonks: 2nd, Slate: 2nd)
2. New York Silverbacks DEF - 187.60 points (Frostonks: Not ranked, Slate: 8th)
3. Austin Copperheads DEF - 171.90 points (Frostonks: 5th, Slate: 6th)
4. Yellowknife Wraiths DEF - 139.80 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: not ranked, but identified as a potential waiver breakout)
5. Arizona Outlaws DEF - 134.90 points (Frostonks: 3rd, Slate: 5th $$)
6. Orange County Otters DEF - 130.70 points (Frostonks: 4th, Slate: 7th)
7. Chicago Butchers DEF - 120.80 points (Frostonks: 6th, Slate: 4th)
8. Berlin Fire Salamanders DEF - 117.30 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
9. Philadelphia Liberty DEF - 105.80 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Honolulu Hahalua DEF - 80.30 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: 3rd)
"I think I would take HON's defense over anyone else except AZ" -Rev, March 29th, 2021
Defense is generally considered to be the single hardest position group to rank when it comes to fantasy football, and for good reason. There are several layers of thought that need to go into your analysis - you're not just comparing single players to each other, but rather you're comparing groups of 11 players at a time to other groups! Furthermore, you need to think about each team's schedule and take that into account. If a team is playing an abysmal offense every other week, they don't necessarily need to have a good defense to score like a good defense ought to score. That took a lot of words. I could've just described it the same way I've seen Frost describe the process of ranking and drafting fantasy defenses in the past - it's a crapshoot. Anyway back to analyzing!
Evidently, neither Slate nor Frost, both high ranking members of the Saraslowta Stonksfish, expected Sarasota's defense to be the best defense in the league, let alone by such a wide margin. Sarasota's defense is scoring more than I've ever seen an ISFL fantasy defense score, and while I didn't actually research this or attempt to provide evidence for my claims, I think they could very well be on pace to be the best defense that ISFL fantasy has ever seen. In terms of things Frost and Slate were expecting, both of them projected Colorado to be fantasy's number 1 defense this season. The Yeti however, as we all know, wouldn't be caught dead listening to what the Sailfish have to say. My personal theory is that the yeti defense is only underperforming this season to spite Slate and Frost. At any rate, the projected top fantasy defense is nowhere to be found on our list here.
Sarasota, New York, and Austin are pretty head and shoulders above every other defense in the league. I mean hot damn there's a 54 point gap between 1st place and 3rd place, and a 32 point gap between 3rd place and 4th. Defense was probably a good thing to spend one of your waiver spots on this season, if one of Sarasota, New York, or Austin wasn't drafted in your group. It's uh.. probably a little late for that now though. The four unranked defenses, in case you were wondering, are the aforementioned Colorado Yeti, the San Jose Sabercats, the Baltimore Hawks, and the New Orleans Second Line.
Kicker
1. Sidekick, S. - K - CHI - 121.00 points (Raphtalia: 3rd, Slate: 3rd)
2. Small ©, J. - K - SAR - 121.00 points (Raphtalia: 1st, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. McDairmid, M. - K - SJS - 117.00 points (Raphtalia: 4th, Slate: 1st)
4. Kokot, B. - K - YKW - 104.00 points (Raphtalia: 2nd, Slate: 6th)
5. Smalls, D. - K - NYS - 103.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
6. Jay-Jaymison, J. - K - AZ - 100.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: 5th)
7. King, D. - K - BER - 93.00 points (Raphtalia: 6th, Slate: not ranked)
8. PhastBawls, D. - K - OCO - 89.00 points (Raphtalia: 5th, Slate: not ranked)
9. Bloomfield, L. - K - AUS - 82.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: not ranked but identified as a potential waiver breakout)
10. Banana ©, S. - K - COL - 80.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: 4th)
I'd like to use this paragraph to give myself a platform to talk about giving kickers/punters fantasy points for punts inside of the 20. I've mentioned this several times in the fantasy discord and it has never really been responded to which is a shame cause I think it could make kickers slightly more competitive, reward good punting, and generally shake things up a little at a time when lots of things in fantasy are already being shaken up. Shook up? Shaken. No time to shake like the already shake-y present, right? Anyway that's my rant. Punters are people and need love too. Why only award the kicking side of things if players are doing both kicking and punting? Back to talking about rankings.
Hey look we've got a tie at the top of the list! Sidekick and Small were the two top kickers last season if I remember correctly, so it's fitting that they're tied for first place right now. Matty is the league's highest TPE kicker and has been for a little while now, so I'm glad to see him on the upper echelon of the list, even if he arguably deserves better than 3rd. Blago Kokot is an excellent player name. That's all I've really got to add about him. Dougie Smalls sounds like the name of a Beastie Boy. I bet his boy band puts out some fire content. Apparently that fire content wasn't enough to get Slate and Frost to rank him. The man with many J's from Arizona has a cool even 100 points on the season (bet it'd be more if we gave punters points for punts inside the 20), while Berlin's Danny King snags the 7th spot on our list thanks to several of the clutch field goals he's made so far this season. Next we move on to Orange County's kicker, who, for the first time in a very long time, isn't named Alex Dasistwirklichseinnachname. We miss you dearly, Alex, however we are grateful for Phastbawl's leg, even if he hasn't logged onto the forum since July 28th of last year. Closing out our list of kickers we have Leo Bloomfield, who I appreciate simply for his Archer profile picture, and Silver Banana, who I didn't realize I knew until I looked him up on the TPE tracker. Hi Golden! Alaskan boats best boats :ANC:
I think that's about all I've got for you right this second. Who do you think were Frost and Slate's biggest hits and/or misses? Drop a comment down below and don't forget to SMASH that subscribe button.
Huge thanks to @slate and @Frostbite for creating their fantasy rankings and thus giving me something to write about. I think I'd still be figuring out how I'm going to get my bank account out of the red if it weren't for you guys. Or I'd be writing otter fan fic. But hey, that possibility is still on the table, I just need to make a few more bad bets and otter lovers around the league will be in business. On behalf of the whole league, even the people who think you guys sux lmap, thanks for putting time into creating preseason fantasy rankings for all of us!
See ya next time. RICHARD LEAKING OUT
Back in my day, during my first 2-3 seasons in the league, Speculadora would put together his own fantasy rankings, and it was always really nice and extra helpful to have two different sets of rankings to compare and contrast with each other. Which is where the other guy in the title of my thread (remember him?) happens to come in; on Monday, March 22nd at 9:26 PM EST, Slate submitted his ISFL fantasy rankings, Slightly Late Fantasy Advice For Those Who Are Confused But Don't Trust Frost, giving users all around the league an alternative way of viewing their ISFL drafts if they felt they couldn't trust someone who sux as much as Frost. Now, we could probably let the fact that both Slate and Frost are members of the Sarasota Sailfish slide, if it weren't for the fact that Slate posted his fantasy advice mere hours after Frost posted his own rankings - it was at this point that I started to wonder if some sort of a leaguewide conspiracy could be afoot between Slate and Frost. I don't know what exactly this conspiracy would entail, but I can tell you for certain - something smells fishy here. Sailfishy.
Now that I've thrown around baseless accusations and cast a shadow of doubt upon two of the league's most wonderful fishe, we can move on with the article. I'm sure by this point you may be asking yourself "Rev, why in the world are you doing an analysis of user submitted fantasy rankings now when it's only week 10?" To you, dear questioner, I answer:
![[Image: tenor.gif?itemid=16595801]](https://media1.tenor.com/images/ce5fee8b0a7cfd1a6fac37fdb583dbee/tenor.gif?itemid=16595801)
Yes, much like all of those singing opera people on that bus, I have a structured settlement but I need cash now. Plus now I can say I beat Infinite's inevitably vastly superior article to the punch, and if I need money at the end of the season, I can criticize my own article! Or just criticize Frost and Slate some more. Either way, my bank account is in the midst of a drought and I need moneys, thus, I turn to criticizing the hard work of others. I would make a great news pundit. Let's get ranking!
Off the bat, Slate gets points over Frost for putting players into tiers and identifying potential waiver wire breakouts. Good job Slate, I love to see you one up Frost by going the extra mile. Frost did include a "players you must draft if they fall to the second" section, which is pretty darn helpful, but when we remember that frost sux, it starts to become just a tad underwhelming.
I'm thinking the way I will list this is by rattling off the actual rankings of how much each player has scored thus far in the season, and then tell you where Slate and Frost had them ranked next to that. And then I'll do some more blurbing. I'm thinking I will stop ranking each position once I get to several players in a row who were left unranked by both Slate and Frost, or I'll stop if I feel I've done a reasonable number of people from that position group, whichever comes later (edit after the fact: I lied, I just did groups of 10.) I am also going to include dollar signs next to rankings in which either slate or frost are.. wait for it.. right on the money with their rankings. Get it? Dollar signs? Money? Feel free to drop a comment down below about how much you're enjoying this article so far. Go on, I'll wait here until you get back. Remember two paragraphs ago when I said let's get ranking?
Quarterbacks
1. Caliban, M. - QB - COL - 191.00 points (Frost: 5th, Slate: 4th)
2. Jack, C. - QB - YKW - 173.10 points (Frost: 4th, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. O'Donnell, G. - QB - CHI 159.60 points (Frost: 6th, Slate: 3rd $$)
4. Cortez, C. - QB - AZ - 158.80 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: also not ranked but listed as a potential waiver breakout!)
5. Ramza, S. - QB - OCO - 154.20 points (Frost: 2nd, Slate: 5th $$)
6. Slothlisberger ©, B. - QB - NOLA - 153.40 points (Frost: 1st, Slate: 1st)
7. Kaepercolin, N. - QB - BER - 150.30 points (Frost: 3rd, Slate: 8th)
8. Jack, M. - QB - SJS - 143.00 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
9. Daytona ©, J. - QB - AUS - 137.50 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Fujiwara ©, C. - QB - HON - 133.70 points (Frost: not ranked, Slate: 7th)
And there we have our quarterbacks. For those first five picks, I was starting to think Slate has a secret insider on the sim team or something, because he was right on the money with a lot of those early picks. Neither Slate nor Frost expected Caliban to be performing at the level he is, and let's be honest, I don't think many people outside of Colorado did either. That being said, it's really not particularly surprising that Caliban is playing so well, considering how much he overperformed expectations that were set for him by many folks around the league last season. Frost was a little low on Colby, while Slate was right on the money with YKW's former league MVP. Next up, my own personal fantasy football QB who I managed to steal in the very last round of my group's draft, George O'Donnell. Once again Slate is right on the money, while Frost is a doubter of what true talent looks like. I think most people reading this can agree that Charlemagne Cortez is the biggest surprise on this list so far - neither of our Fantasy Football experts had him ranked on their lists (although Slate did very accurately predict that Cortez would be a waiver acquisition worth keeping an eye on) and yet he's currently fourth among quarterbacks. What's more, Cortez is less than a point away from third place! O'Donnell and Cortez may as well be tied right now for the sake of our rankings.
Suleiman Ramza, my personal favorite quarterback in the league, comes up next on this list with an admirable but too damn low 154.2 points, which is good enough to make him the 5th best fantasy quarterback in the league thus far. Hopefully Ramza will be able to show off his rushing talent and cover some ground on catching up in these rankings as he deserves. If you weren't surprised by Charlemagne Cortez's place on this list, surely you're surprised by Ben Slothisberger's, right? Sloth has always been one of my favorite named players in the league (don't get me wrong though, steelers/ben = stinky), so it was really cool to see him pop off last season and be, if I remember correctly, the single best fantasy quarterback in the league. It is equally uncool to see him hurdle back to earth like this - hopefully he gets some better luck to close out this season/open next season. Just not against OCO. Nick Kaepercolin takes the 7th ranked spot on our list - Frolf was pretty high on Kaepercolin (and when you look at the way Berlin is playing this season, it makes perfect sense why he would've been), whereas Slate was just about on the money with his ranking. Monty Jack is being slept on by Slate, Frost, and the sim. #Justice4Monty. Daytona was not ranked by either of our gurus and yet he cracked the list, so that seems like a plus for him! Wrapping up our list we have the bomb slinger herself, Chika Fujiwara, whose offensive line is currently allowing more sacks than any other team. It makes it hard for her to rise up in the rankings if she's never on her feet - someone get that gal some protection.
Running Backs
1. Nakamura ©, T. - RB - AZ - 213.30 points (Frolf: 1st $$, Slate: 1st $$)
2. Chan, R. - RB - SAR - 193.20 points (Frolf: 2nd $$, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. Petrongolo, J. - RB - BER - 160.70 points (Frolf: 7th, Slate: 7th)
4. Watts, Z. - RB - AUS - 148.30 points (Frolf: 3rd, Slate: 5th)
5. Rogers ©, C. - RB - NYS - 135.30 points (Frolf: 9th, Slate: 11th)
6. Gilbert, R. - RB - COL - 132.00 points (Frolf: 10th, Slate: 6th $$)
7. Lackson ©, J. - RB - SJS - 131.70 points (Frolf: 4th, Slate: 4th)
8. Williams, D. - RB - PHI - 129.30 points (Frolf: 5th, Slate: 3rd)
9. Ayers, N. - RB - HON - 121.10 points (Frolf: 8th, Slate: 8th) so close!
10. Thorbjornsson, G. - RB - AZ - 113.30 points (Frolf: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
I would definitely say there were a few more surprises in the running back category than there were in the quarterback category! Which is funny, because we start this category off with probably the two least surprising players in all of S28 ISFL fantasy. I have yet to see a S28 fantasy draft in which Nakamura and Chan didn't go 1st and 2nd overall (or 2nd and 1st) respectively. I'm sure there are a few that are out there, but they're definitely the minority. Slate and Frost both managed to get their first two picks right on the money. Next up comes Joe Petrongolo, who has been a top running back in fantasy the past few seasons, so it was surprising to see both Slate and Frost rank him at 7th. It is especially surprising for Frost, considering how high he was on Berlin going into this season (again, obviously his trust in the Hot Sally's was not misplaced.) Watts was ranked at 3rd and 5th by Frost and Slate respectively, so naturally, she split the difference and is currently our fourth ranked RB in the league. After Watts, there's a bit of a tier drop off and running back performances start to get a lot closer to one another. Rogers has been solid the past 2-3 seasons with NYS but this seems to be his best year to date. Gilbert was crazy last season thanks in part to all of the pancakes he managed to rack up; he's probably a good chunk of the reason that non OL don't get fantasy points for pancakes anymore. Lackson continues to be one of the hardest running backs in the league to judge preseason. I seriously never know what to expect from Jamar. Slate and Frolf managed to agree on where he should be ranked, but alas, it was three spots too high. Slate sold me on Darrell Williams this season and I ended up drafting him in the 3rd or 4th round, but alas he's not doing quite as well as we expected. Both Slate and Frost were almost right on the money with Ayers! Alas, no cigar. Last, and clearly not least or else he wouldn't even be listed, we've got Gunnar Thjorbjorbjorssjonjosjosjon. Neither Slate nor Frost had Z-Whiz ranked here (and mind you, they both ranked 18 running backs,) so the fact that Thorbjornssssssssssssssssssson has cracked the top 10 means he's outperforming a whole lot of expectations. Good job Z.
Wide Receivers
1. Lim, W. - WR - COL - 166.00 points (Fronk: 1st $$, Slate: 1st $$)
2. Barker, E. - WR - NOLA - 144.00 points (Fronk: 5th, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. Videl-San - WR - AUS - 142.30 points (Fronk: 8th, Slate: 7th)
4. Campbell, J. - WR - CHI - 132.20 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: 15th)
5. Despacito Jr., G. - WR - OCO - 129.40 points (Fronk: 12th, Slate: 13th)
6. Achtfunf © - WR - BER - 126.50 points (Fronk: 6th $$, Slate: 10th)
7. Holloway, O. - WR - OCO - 124.70 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: 12th)
8. Raimon, T. - WR - AZ - 123.60 points (Fronk: 9th, Slate: 4th)
9. Delacour, R. - WR - COL - 123.00 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Chambers, K. - WR - PHI - 121.30 points (Fronk: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
Alright, so remember when I called Nakamura and Chan probably the two least surprising players in ISFL fantasy this season? The reason I said probably is because of one Mr. William Lim. Maybe it's happened before and I just missed it, but I legitimately do not remember an ISFL fantasy season that I've participated in where Lim wasn't a top 3 receiver, and more often than not, he's #1 in the league among receivers. I think a lot of people expected Barker to be the #2 receiver this season, especially after his dominant performance last season, but I will say it's surprising he's managed to live up to that #2 expectation considering the team around him has had their fair share of struggles so far. Videl-San's performance is surprising to me (and to Frost and Slate too, apparently), but it sure makes sense when you look at Austin's record and the way Daytona is outperforming expectations. These next two are probably the biggest surprises we've seen so far in these rankings - Campbell and my boy Garfield Despacito Jr. weren't expected to ball out this season, at least not to the level they are balling. Despacito is currently 3rd in the league in receiving yards, while Campbell is 4th despite only having 50 catches, which gives him an absolutely nasty 18.5 yards per catch. Achtfunf is performing exactly where Frost expected him to (good job frost! Nice to be able to put some dollar signs next to your name), while Owen Holloway is performing exactly where nobody outside of OCO expected him to; Frost did not have Holloway ranked this season, while Slate had him as the 12th best receiver in the draft. So actually, 5 off ain't too bad! Good job Slate. Speaking of Slate, both he and I were apparently juuuuust a little higher on Raimon than his stats suggest we should have been. But Raimon still made the list! That's a dub in my book. Closing out our WR list we've got Raphael Delacour from the Yeti and Killian Chambers from the Ringy Dings, both of whom were completely and totally unranked by our fantasy football masterminds. Delacour isn't entirely surprising considering the efficiency of the Yeti passing attack and the way Caliban is slinging it this season, but it's still a hell of a feat to crack season 28's top 10 wide receivers as a S27 player. Former Philadelphia GM Killian Chambers ends our list thanks to the fact that he is currently 5th in receiving yards despite Philadelphia rockin a rookie quarterback this season.
Notable people missing from this top 10 list include New York's star receiver Jackson Kingston (he probably isn't catching as much this season because his corneas have been seared by all that light mode discord browsing), who Frost had ranked as the 3rd best receiver in Fantasy compared to Slate's ranking of 9th. Yellowknife Wraith’s Star receiver was ranked highly by Frost, but is unfortunately absent from the top 10 as of right now. Unfortunate considering Colby to Sakura is one of the highest TPE quarterback to wide receiver connections in the ISFL right now. Sim gonna sim, and poor Kai is getting simmed. Ty Hood is also missing from this list; Frost had Hood ranked at 4th and Slate had him ranked at 3rd, so I think he could very well end up being both Slate and Frost's biggest miss of this entire article. The emergence of Josh Campbell as a top receiver in fantasy means that another Chicago receiver who everyone expected to continue her dominance, Luca Scabbia, has unfortunately.. discontinued her dominance. But she'll be back! Just you wait. Maybe. Either way, Falconi should be in the ISFL hall of fame, don't @ me. I mean come on, three ultiminis in a row. Slate had Scabbia ranked at 5th, while Frost had her at 10th. Wittheblock was another miss for both of the Sarasota Fantasy Boyz; Frost had him ranked 7th while Slate had him ranked 6th.
Tight Ends
1. Lewandowski, J. - TE - SJS - 88.00 points (Frop: 6th, Slate: 5th)
2. Rechs, Z. - TE - YKW - 79.50 points (Frop: 3rd, Slate: 3rd)
3. Boyd, C. - TE - BER - 73.00 points (Frop: 4th, Slate: 6th)
4. Gelbman ©, T. - TE - CHI - 72.30 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: 7th)
5. Evans ©, H. - TE - OCO - 70.10 points (Frop: 2nd, Slate: 2nd)
6. Angler, J. - TE - SAR - 64.90 points (Frop: 1st, Slate: 1st)
7. McCormick, A. - TE - NOLA - 57.80 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
8. Krashwagen, R. - TE - HON - 52.30 points (Frop: 5th, Slate: 4th)
9. Vequain, F. - TE - AUS - 48.00 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: 8th)
10. Michell, F. - TE - COL - 40.50 points (Frop: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
Remember when tight ends used to be absolute game changers in ISFL fantasy? Looking at this list makes me wonder what the hell happened. I can't even entirely blame it on pancake points being taken away from TEs (although I will take this opportunity to complain about that, because why shouldn't blocking ability make a difference in which TE you choose? Pancake points made the position as a whole more competitive instead of every one simply trying to figure out which TE is going to be playing wide receiver in the most formations. Rant over, sorry Bayley) because that was something that only lasted one season. I will say, I do kind of prefer this - I'd rather every tight end be somewhat overwhelming than have 2-3 tight ends be head and shoulders above the rest of them, as we've seen in many fantasy seasons in the past. So I guess this is actually pretty cool! Back to analysis.
Lewandowski deserves to have a year on top of the TE position group. There, I said it. Every year is supposed to be his year and every year the sim mistreats this poor tight end, so it's nice to see him outperform the expectations set for him by our fantasy heroes. Rechs was a top tight end last season and he continues that trend by being a top TE this season, only with less points, because they've ripped tight end pancake points out of his cold dead wraith-y hands. I think I would've agreed with Frost about where he ranked Boyd prior to the season, 4th seemed like a good spot, and he's doing us one better by being 3rd. Gelbman was another top TE last year thanks to flapjack points, but alas, how the mighty will fall when you take away their breakfast. Heep Ebbins is no stranger to the top TEs in the league list, but he's a bit of a stranger to being outside of the top 3. Hopefully the sim will come to its senses soon and realize you don't mess with greatness. Angler was ranked 1st by both Slate and Frost but he has definitely struggled a bit this season compared to his regular output. McCormick is the last old fuddy duddy on this list - neither of our fantasy fellas had McCormick ranked, so naturally, Noka decided to ball out this season to make the list and prove to the doubters that he still has it. Krashwagen is one of the youngest guys on this list, along with Frank Michell from Colorado (shoutout to Deadly for making the list despite not being ranked by either Slate or Frost hell yeah Deadly good job.) Vequain is the first player on any of these lists that I have never heard of, so good for him for making the top 10 TEs list!
Offensive Line
1. Dolls, B. - T - BER - 173.00 points (Forstt: 4th, Slate: 8th)
2. Mellott, A. - T - NOLA - 164.00 points (Forst: 3rd, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. Buckley, B. - T - YKW - 156.00 points (Forst: 2nd, Slate: 3rd $$)
4. Golladay, C. - T - AZ - 156.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 4th $$)
5. Magic, M. - T - CHI - 152.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
6. Sly, G. - T - COL - 148.00 points (Forst: 1st, Slate: 5th)
7. Trunks, F. - T - OCO - 140.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 7th $$)
8. Quigley, C. - T - AUS - 139.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 6th)
9. Jones, J. - T - CHI - 138.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Tremblay ©, S. - T - PHI - 136.00 points (Forst: not ranked, Slate: 1st)
The list of top offensive linemen is basically just a list of which OLinemen have the most pancakes. I do think it's worth noting that Mellott is only 7 pancakes behind Dolls (89 from Dolls vs 82 from Mellott), while Mellott has allowed 0 sacks and Dolls has allowed 1, yet Dolls is still 9 points above Mellott. Should allowing a sack take away more points than it currently does? I don't know, I'm just spit balling. Maybe 7 pancakes is a much bigger difference than I seem to think it is. Slate managed to hit the nail right on the head with FOUR of his rankings in this one, which is damn impressive. I'd argue it's maybe even impressive enough to forgive his ranking of OLine GOAT Simon Tremblay at 1st and Dolls at 8th. Seriously, great job in this category Slate. There are some misses, but to be as accurate as Slate was, especially in ISFL fantasy football's newest position group, is some damn fine work.
Defense
1. Sarasota Sailfish DEF - 226.60 points (Frostonks: 2nd, Slate: 2nd)
2. New York Silverbacks DEF - 187.60 points (Frostonks: Not ranked, Slate: 8th)
3. Austin Copperheads DEF - 171.90 points (Frostonks: 5th, Slate: 6th)
4. Yellowknife Wraiths DEF - 139.80 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: not ranked, but identified as a potential waiver breakout)
5. Arizona Outlaws DEF - 134.90 points (Frostonks: 3rd, Slate: 5th $$)
6. Orange County Otters DEF - 130.70 points (Frostonks: 4th, Slate: 7th)
7. Chicago Butchers DEF - 120.80 points (Frostonks: 6th, Slate: 4th)
8. Berlin Fire Salamanders DEF - 117.30 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
9. Philadelphia Liberty DEF - 105.80 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
10. Honolulu Hahalua DEF - 80.30 points (Frostonks: not ranked, Slate: 3rd)
"I think I would take HON's defense over anyone else except AZ" -Rev, March 29th, 2021
Defense is generally considered to be the single hardest position group to rank when it comes to fantasy football, and for good reason. There are several layers of thought that need to go into your analysis - you're not just comparing single players to each other, but rather you're comparing groups of 11 players at a time to other groups! Furthermore, you need to think about each team's schedule and take that into account. If a team is playing an abysmal offense every other week, they don't necessarily need to have a good defense to score like a good defense ought to score. That took a lot of words. I could've just described it the same way I've seen Frost describe the process of ranking and drafting fantasy defenses in the past - it's a crapshoot. Anyway back to analyzing!
Evidently, neither Slate nor Frost, both high ranking members of the Saraslowta Stonksfish, expected Sarasota's defense to be the best defense in the league, let alone by such a wide margin. Sarasota's defense is scoring more than I've ever seen an ISFL fantasy defense score, and while I didn't actually research this or attempt to provide evidence for my claims, I think they could very well be on pace to be the best defense that ISFL fantasy has ever seen. In terms of things Frost and Slate were expecting, both of them projected Colorado to be fantasy's number 1 defense this season. The Yeti however, as we all know, wouldn't be caught dead listening to what the Sailfish have to say. My personal theory is that the yeti defense is only underperforming this season to spite Slate and Frost. At any rate, the projected top fantasy defense is nowhere to be found on our list here.
Sarasota, New York, and Austin are pretty head and shoulders above every other defense in the league. I mean hot damn there's a 54 point gap between 1st place and 3rd place, and a 32 point gap between 3rd place and 4th. Defense was probably a good thing to spend one of your waiver spots on this season, if one of Sarasota, New York, or Austin wasn't drafted in your group. It's uh.. probably a little late for that now though. The four unranked defenses, in case you were wondering, are the aforementioned Colorado Yeti, the San Jose Sabercats, the Baltimore Hawks, and the New Orleans Second Line.
Kicker
1. Sidekick, S. - K - CHI - 121.00 points (Raphtalia: 3rd, Slate: 3rd)
2. Small ©, J. - K - SAR - 121.00 points (Raphtalia: 1st, Slate: 2nd $$)
3. McDairmid, M. - K - SJS - 117.00 points (Raphtalia: 4th, Slate: 1st)
4. Kokot, B. - K - YKW - 104.00 points (Raphtalia: 2nd, Slate: 6th)
5. Smalls, D. - K - NYS - 103.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: not ranked)
6. Jay-Jaymison, J. - K - AZ - 100.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: 5th)
7. King, D. - K - BER - 93.00 points (Raphtalia: 6th, Slate: not ranked)
8. PhastBawls, D. - K - OCO - 89.00 points (Raphtalia: 5th, Slate: not ranked)
9. Bloomfield, L. - K - AUS - 82.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: not ranked but identified as a potential waiver breakout)
10. Banana ©, S. - K - COL - 80.00 points (Raphtalia: not ranked, Slate: 4th)
I'd like to use this paragraph to give myself a platform to talk about giving kickers/punters fantasy points for punts inside of the 20. I've mentioned this several times in the fantasy discord and it has never really been responded to which is a shame cause I think it could make kickers slightly more competitive, reward good punting, and generally shake things up a little at a time when lots of things in fantasy are already being shaken up. Shook up? Shaken. No time to shake like the already shake-y present, right? Anyway that's my rant. Punters are people and need love too. Why only award the kicking side of things if players are doing both kicking and punting? Back to talking about rankings.
Hey look we've got a tie at the top of the list! Sidekick and Small were the two top kickers last season if I remember correctly, so it's fitting that they're tied for first place right now. Matty is the league's highest TPE kicker and has been for a little while now, so I'm glad to see him on the upper echelon of the list, even if he arguably deserves better than 3rd. Blago Kokot is an excellent player name. That's all I've really got to add about him. Dougie Smalls sounds like the name of a Beastie Boy. I bet his boy band puts out some fire content. Apparently that fire content wasn't enough to get Slate and Frost to rank him. The man with many J's from Arizona has a cool even 100 points on the season (bet it'd be more if we gave punters points for punts inside the 20), while Berlin's Danny King snags the 7th spot on our list thanks to several of the clutch field goals he's made so far this season. Next we move on to Orange County's kicker, who, for the first time in a very long time, isn't named Alex Dasistwirklichseinnachname. We miss you dearly, Alex, however we are grateful for Phastbawl's leg, even if he hasn't logged onto the forum since July 28th of last year. Closing out our list of kickers we have Leo Bloomfield, who I appreciate simply for his Archer profile picture, and Silver Banana, who I didn't realize I knew until I looked him up on the TPE tracker. Hi Golden! Alaskan boats best boats :ANC:
I think that's about all I've got for you right this second. Who do you think were Frost and Slate's biggest hits and/or misses? Drop a comment down below and don't forget to SMASH that subscribe button.
Huge thanks to @slate and @Frostbite for creating their fantasy rankings and thus giving me something to write about. I think I'd still be figuring out how I'm going to get my bank account out of the red if it weren't for you guys. Or I'd be writing otter fan fic. But hey, that possibility is still on the table, I just need to make a few more bad bets and otter lovers around the league will be in business. On behalf of the whole league, even the people who think you guys sux lmap, thanks for putting time into creating preseason fantasy rankings for all of us!
See ya next time. RICHARD LEAKING OUT
