With only just over a month left in the regular season, many of those in dynasty leagues are concerned less about what will happen this year and how things will play out in 2019 and 2020. Larry Fitzgerald, for example, is a great receiver, but will he even be in the league next season?
I rotate through the positions for dynasty league purposes. Wide receivers are up today, and my top 100 includes only five wide receivers who are older than 30. I’ve got Fitzgerald (who’s 35) at 58th. There are two 32-year-olds on my list: Julian Edelman (52nd) and DeSean Jackson (82nd). They’re nice players; I’m just not sure how much longer they can play at a high level.
There are two 31-year-olds on my list. I’ve got Emmanuel Sanders 32nd; to me, he seems a few years younger. And I’ve got Michael Crabtree 74th
In contrast, there are 18 rookies in my top 100. Catch a rising star; that’s the name of the game.
Rankings assume standard scoring, and that people will be able to hold onto said players for the bulk of their careers.
