Fantasy Football Fantasy Football Draft
August 14, 2026 / August 14, 2026 by Lou Brunson | Leave a Comment
The preseason marches on, and as we rocket towards real football being played, we’re already seeing values ebb and flow. Injuries are creeping in, teams are still signing significant contributors, and plans are solidifying. We even get a full slate of preseason games this weekend. There’s no one right way to glean information out of […]

This is part 4 of our preseason series looking at over-and-undervalued players for every team. Up today? The AFC West. This is the scary time of year, especially if you draft early. It seems like every day we’ve got another guy getting hurt, and we get to figure out how serious it is. Are we […]

This is Part 3 of my fantasy football overvalued / undervalued series. Check back for AFC East and AFC North. Training camps are here, football taeks are flooding timelines, and the calendar is getting ready to flip over to August. Real football is just a few weeks away. Far be it from me to not […]

Last week I kicked off my fantasy football overvalued and undervalued series with the AFC East. Today, it’s time to take a look at the AFC North. This is the perfect time to re-emphasize that not every team will have true overvalued and undervalued players. Of course, I will do my best to help you […]

Today was Scott Fish Bowl draft day! My league and many slow drafts kicked off SFB16 this morning. Scott Fish Bowl is a very popular annual fantasy football event that raises money for charity and is considered the unofficial kickoff of fantasy draft season. This morning I did a live stream video on YouTube showing […]

The calendar flipped to July which means NFL training camps are close. Early fantasy drafts are really close – like the Scott Fish Bowl – or at a minimum you should have your local league draft scheduled. I’m back at it now, publishing my fantasy football rankings and writing furiously to get us reason for […]
June 22, 2026 / June 22, 2026 by Mike | 1 Comment on Lou’s 2026 Fantasy Football Rankings Are Live — And He’s Not Afraid to Go Against the Crowd
Our resident fantasy expert, Lou Brunson, handed over his initial 2026 fantasy football rankings last week and they are now up at DraftBuddy.com. We have overall Top 150 for 1QB redraft and Superflex. Rankings are generally based on half-point PPR, but the tiers and rankings hold pretty well across various scoring formats. Fair warning: these […]

The wait is over. Draft Buddy is ready for the 2026 NFL season and your fantasy football draft! This marks the 26th year for the custom cheat sheet and draft tool. The little spreadsheet that could. And since Draft Buddy is ready to roll, it is time to get drafting. I want to get in […]

At long last, a real football thing happened, and the first round of the NFL Draft has come and gone! For what seems like the first time in forever, NFL teams told us what they actually think about players, and we start to get landing spots for the incoming rookie class. I know you’re here […]

After I made Fantasy Baseball Draft Buddy available for download for the 2026 season, a user politely asked, “what is with all of the strike through text?” (and green triangles). Heck. That is due to Microsoft Excel’s Error Checking feature. And one specific error check applies to Draft Buddy, Excel thinks the formulas are displaying […]

It’s the fantasy playoffs! I know it’s tough to stop and smell the roses, but make sure you appreciate what you’ve done to get here. Every fantasy team starts with the hope of making it to this point, but if you’re still reading this, that means you’re in the roughly 35% of teams that make […]

It’s here. It’s the final week of games before the fantasy football playoffs. This is why we spend all those countless hours in July and August pouring over spreadsheets, listening to podcasts, and creating the perfect draft plan. Only to start checks notes Zach Charbonnet and Colby Parkinson in Week 14? What are we doing […]

Happy Fantasy Football Thanksgiving! Here are the fantasy football Week 13 rankings. Let’s dive in to the players who should perform better or worse than consensus. QB Jaxson Dart, New York Giants Consensus Rank: QB17 Lou’s Rank: QB6 This is a little bit of an assumption on my part that Jaxson Dart will fully recover […]

It seems this week, more than any other, we’re awaiting news on injuries before we finalize Week 12 rankings. Will Josh Jacobs play through his knee contusion? Can Jaxson Dart fully recover from his concussion? Will Trey Benson make his first appearance since Week 4? All of these and more are up in the air […]

Sometimes, you gotta put your money where your mouth is. That’s the theme of today’s column as I talk about eight players I’m significantly higher or lower on in Week 11 fantasy football rankings than my fellow analysts. They’re not all big names, they’re not all unknowns, either. They’re hand-selected by me to paint what […]
October 30, 2025 / March 21, 2026 by Lou Brunson | 1 Comment on Kyler Murray in the Wake of the Byemageddon! – Week 9 Rankings
I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling like I was swept up in the maelstrom that was Week 8’s massive number of byes. Did you survive? I sure hope so. I heard from more than a few people how their benches and starting lineups basically swapped for the week. Wild! If that sums up how […]

In the days of the Byepocalypse, you cannot afford to be a bye-stander. Ok, ok, I’ll see myself out. But more seriously, the fantasy football rankings are bleak this week, y’all. I’m looking at RB and WR rankings and constantly thinking, “Am I really putting this guy this high?!” And then I look at the […]
October 16, 2025 / March 21, 2026 by Lou Brunson | 1 Comment on Fields Up, Worthy Down? – Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings
Welcome. Week 7 fantasy football rankings are up. We’re full on into the spooky season now, with our lineups no longer looking like the halcyon days of August. Instead, they look like the macabre of the The Walking Dead. Bye weeks, injuries, and underperformers ravaged all but the luckiest of fantasy managers so far in […]

Welcome to Week 6! Here are the Week 6 rankings. The byes are in full force. Our teams are ravaged by injuries. Sleepers we reached a couple of rounds early for are still fast asleep. Sophomores we expected to take a leap forward are falling behind instead. And are we really considering starting that guy […]

Week 5 is upon us and here is the Week 5 fantasy football rankings column to highlight players that is consensus ranked too high, or too low, this week. And why. QB Spencer Rattler, New Orleans Saints Consensus Rank: QB26 Lou’s Rank: QB15 Yeah, putting Spencer Rattler on the “higher” list doesn’t feel very good […]

Week 4, the quarter-pole of fantasy football season. At least it used to be the quarter-pole before we jumped to a 17-week regular season plus fantasy playoffs. That started in 2021, and yes, I’m dating myself. This is my Week 4 fantasy football rankings column where I identify players that the consensus is ranked too […]
