INTRO

Well, transitioning from the weirdest trade deadline/All-Star game combo we’ve ever seen, I’m very happy about a lot of choices we have made here lately at SportsEthos but the decision to produce two additional In-Season Bruski 150s has really hit the spot.

The project has given me a vehicle to better leverage all the proprietary ingredients that go into producing industry-leading ranks every season. The theory is simple – out-work, out-see and evolve faster than those that seek to compete at the top of this game.

I fully admit this approach is not for everybody and that there is space for players and analysts of all types, but you get what you pay for and if winning is your goal and results are your trade, then you treat it like the competition it is.

The foundational process of creating the preseason Bruski 150 is a 300-400 hour research project that has led to consistent high stakes wins and industry-leading projections and ranks. By adding the two additional In-Season Bruski 150s we’ve been able to layer new information into existing intel and then leverage our ability to understand and react upon trends in a truly profound way.

This is the ultimate quick glance guide to get you prepared for the stretch run. As usual, my favorite part is doing the player comments. I explain the rules and conventions for these rankings below and yes, this is a Roto list that head-to-head GMs can also use to plunder.

Lastly, #iykyk but none of this is possible without having a squad here at SportsEthos that believes culture, effort, honesty and integrity is everything. I’m still very injured with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which quite frankly is a nightmare, but this crew has made it possible for me to continue and also expand on the processes that have led to all of these great results not just with the Bruski 150 and my personal accolades, but also the massive steps forward you have been seeing over the last year here at SportsEthos.

When you work with folks that you can trust, who want to do things the right way and who pick each other up, make each other better and the vibes are elite – anything is possible.

Anyway, thank you for indulging me the opportunity to give this crew their shine and with that out of the way let’s go win some championships!

Quickly about the Preseason Bruski 150

Creating the Bruski 150 takes about 400 hours between July and October and we accumulate corporate knowledge every single season. I evaluate just under 300 players that end up in the ranks, which as you might have guessed started off as a 150 player list starting in 2010 I believe. Overall I evaluate about 500 players and do full-blown evaluations on just under 400 of them. This is how we win.

And WIN we did! Even with the competition buying the Bruski 150 and using it against me, I was still able to post top-3 finishes in four out of five public high-stakes leagues and bring back just under $30,000. I also won another FSWA Writer of the Year due in large part to the previous season’s Bruski 150 and received another nomination this year (results pending) based on, you guessed it, the Bruski 150.

Without further ado the ground rules for this list!

The ground rules for the B150

*and small tweaks for this in season version….

♦ While the preseason Bruski 150 is a fearless list that’s not trying to play it safe, in other words I see a shot and I take a shot, this version is different in the sense that we are adding data from everything we’ve seen for the first third of the season to the robust findings from the preseason research and the result is generally that we know which way things are going to go. We are going to accumulate our wins (in the rankings game) by being more knowledgeable about the way things are going to break than our opponents but there shouldn’t be any surprises here. There will be, but there shouldn’t be.

♦ These ranks will help you calibrate your expectations for the rest of the season whether that manifests in trades, add/drop decisions, playoff positioning or categorical scarcity. Between these ranks and our tools you have a lot of ramp between now and the end of the year to make your move!

♦ This is a Roto list. It’s not a head-to-head list or a points league list. It’s not a list that adjusts players materially based on playoff schedules.

♦ Though this is a top-150 list (including ~50 honorable mentions at the end), each player in the top 400 or so has been hand-projected for each category. Those projections have been scrutinized in every context that might affect the final outcome. A proprietary blend of methodologies – both quantitative and qualitative – is used to weave the resulting numbers into these rankings.

♦ This is a Rest of Season list. By ranking a player (for example) No. 33, I am predicting they will finish as the 33^rd ranked player between now and the end of the year, cumulatively.

♦ These are pure values that don’t account for any punting or specialized team builds you might want to look at. If you want to adjust for punting or a specific type of team build you’ll need to do that on your own.

So without further ado, I give you the first ever In-Season Bruski 150:
