Basketball Free For All

With fantasy draft season fully upon us, it is time to for Basketball Free For All t0 officially roll out it’s second set of Rankings. These rankings were compiled by the entire BFFA crew and are customized for standard Yahoo! 9 category rotisserie leagues. For managers of all skill levels, a good set of rankings is one of the keys to draft day success. So take a look and if you like what you see, print it ‘em out for draft day reference.

To compile the rankings, we pulled together four fantasy basketball vets (plonden, Deebo, So-Tex and RedHopeful) from across the country to share their top 156 guys in this format. The rankings were then aggregated with each players’ four individual ranks averaged to create the Official BFFA Rankings.

With fantasy draft season fully upon us, it is time to for Basketball Free For All t0 officially roll out it’s first set of Rankings.

For managers of all skill levels, a good set of rankings is one of the keys to draft day success. So take a look and if you like what you see, print it ‘em out for draft day reference.

To compile the rankings, we pulled together four grizzled fantasy basketball vets (plonden, Deebo, So-Tex and RedHopeful) from across the country to share their top 156 guys in this format. The rankings were then aggregated with each players’ four individual ranks averaged to create the Official BFFA Rankings.

One note of caution. There have been a few developments (read: injuries) that are not reflected in these rankings. C.J. Miles ruptured a ligament in his thumb, Robin Lopez broke a bone in his foot and Brandan Wright seriously re-injured his shoulder. We probably could have shifted a couple of players a bit as a result but decided to post the rankings unchanged. Regardless, the crew at BFFA reserves the right to amend these rankings before the start of the regular season.
