The Mosales 200 is my own personal fantasy evaluation metric but it’s not purely black and white. Everyone has their own process and way of sifting through the chaos, but for me after playing fantasy sports for two decades, I’ve realized the most important determining factor for me is always going to be health over talent. With football, it’s incredibly hard, if not impossible to predict a player’s health, but we can still use past performance, age and positional usage to make the best prediction possible. For me, it all comes down to ceiling vs. floor and I’ve learned I’m all about a stable floor rather than a sexy ceiling. I’m no longer trying to build the greatest fantasy team of all time, I simply want to win the last week of the season.
For this season’s rankings I really went with my own opinion over the general consensus rankings. Sometimes I put a player in rank, but that doesn’t mean I would take him there. Tyreek Hill is a player I no longer trust and thus I put him way down the rankings. I probably wouldn’t take him there, but there is value at that spot. There is so much chaos that occurs over a season, it’s impossible to be right at every turn, but I am confident I have a stranglehold over this season and following my rankings will give you a leg up on the competition.
A lot has changed over the last fantasy football season. Last season was an aberration with RBs being historically healthy and WRs going down at an alarming rate. Now, it appears that WR is deeper than it’s ever been and for good reason. RBs are more valuable simply due to the fact you can get a quality WR at almost any point in the draft. When it came to ranking the players, I kept finding myself moving RBs up and WRs down just to relative scarcity. The same goes for QBs. In a 12-team, 1Qb league, you can get a QB with top-10 upside near the end of your draft. In Super Flex leagues, it becomes more complicated, but there is still plenty of value outside the top-14.
It’s always hard building a list of rankings because what’s really the difference between the 32nd and 36th pick. I tried to balance ranking players based on potential consistency along with the potential to drastically beat their ADP. It’s impossible to ignore how effective rookies have been at that recently. In the Yahoo list of the top-25 players on Championship teams last season, eight of them were rookies. This really resonated with rookie RBs this season as many of the older generation are getting close to aging out and there remains so much potential for said rookies to jump the line and crush their ADP. The overall theme of this list is beauty before age, which might seem like an oversimplification, but I’m confident the process will pan out over the season.
So without further ado, I give you the Mosales 200:
