My suggestions go to the rankings themselves. I love the contending and rebuilding rankings. That is great and I've only seen this on very few other sites. The rankings appear to be a value guide, but not taylored to PPR or non-PPR. Being a dynasty FF based site, I would expect you to make rankings taylored to the two main scoring systems in FF. I find it strange that you don't offer seperate PPR and non-PPR rankings. If you really want blow people away... PPR contender/rebuilding and non-PPR contender/rebuilding, but lets not get crazy.

I have a similar suggestion for IDP rankings. In a perfect world, there would be IDP rankings for scoring systems that are tackle only or tackle + low big play scoring. Plus a seperate ranking for leagues that give 6+ points for sacks and interceptions. There can be a pretty decent difference in some players value depending on how big plays are considered in IDP rankings.
I'd like to see the LB rankings go to at least 60 since Lb's are the most owned defensive player.
I come to this site to talk FF with knowledgable people. However, I'd estimate is that most people who stumble across FF sites are in search of FF rankings. I would think that impressing those searching for FF rankings is one the best ways to gain more committed followers and steal other sites committed followers. My guess is that rankings bring people to a FF site, liking the rankings gets them reading the site, and the forum/articles keeps them coming back.
I like the suggestions "guest editor maybe :thumbup: " Maybe for the 3.0 expanded LB rankings!!!

when can we expect a "version 3.0"
would be nice to see it with all the "Free Agent Frenzy" taken into account.
and not to put any pressure, but i'm sure there are a lot o drafts coming up soon that would need a newer version... :thumbup:

May have been already mentioned elsewhere but, No Shaun Hill or Drew Stanton in your QB rankings? Trent Edwards is the #3 guy in jax but the number 2 behind Stafford isn't. I get he won't be a teams #1 ever but he has more value than most of the guys in your ranking after #50.

Not all that important but in the TE rankings Marcedes Lewis looks a whole lot like our favorite Ravens LB. All in all, great guide. Thank you

I suppose you guys probably know this, but there is no cheatsheet for the IDP's :problem:
Rookie IDP got a tiny bit of love on the rookie essential cheatsheet, but I didn't see any for IDP.

Should be easy enough to add, since you have rankings :thumbup:
Would just be nice to have a essential cheatsheets with all of them listed in a form that's easy to print out like the offense.
