Reynold's Fantasy Wrap

Fantasy football, wrapped weekly.

Rankings, reads and calculators for people who enjoy being wrong out loud.

Nobody has this figured out, least of all me. Everything here shows its work so you can disagree with it properly.

Your trade offer isn't an offer. It's a lottery ticket.

Most trade offers die because nobody attached a reason to them. The lowball isn't the problem — the silence after it is, and the manager trying to win the trade is the reason the darts get thrown in the first place.

No invented numbers

Every stat here either carries its source or is labelled a placeholder. There is no third category. A confident number you cannot check is worth less than no number at all, because it costs you a roster move before you find out.

Opinions, held loosely

Takes get revisited when they turn out to be wrong, and the revision says it was a revision. Quietly editing a bad call is the same category of dishonesty as inventing a stat.

The working, shown

Rankings arrive with their tiers, their scoring format and how far each player moved. Calculators explain their formula instead of hiding it, so you can argue with the method rather than guess at it.
