I'd say that's about right.

Maybe include a disclaimer?

"These rankings are for entertainment purposes only and are not intended to help anybody."
I think my disclaimer should be more like follows.

The Foot's rankings could make or break your season. But there is a greater chance it will make it. In either case like Planet Patrol said, "Play at your own risk!"

Couple things.

Foot, the statement you made about making or breaking your season is an interesting one. Because in two seasons here on the MRBBL your teams have not done well. Some of your picks have. But not your team as a whole. I don't want to list all of the factors that may work against a fantasy owner (because there are many), but while most of us reading this would like to think it is based on our skill, much of it actually depends on weekly circumstances (i.e. luck).

I feel that I can say this truthfully and have it not come off as a harsh criticism, because my teams here on the MRBBL have not done well either. My point is that successful fantasy teams need more than "that one sleeper candidate" or "break out" player - fantasy teams need balance.

Look at some of the names from our MRBBL champ, Fuzzy's team: Brees, Dwyer, Forte, Bryant, Decker, Hilton, Hernandez, Seahawks, Gostkowski. Look at runner-up Lefty's team: Rodgers, Bradshaw, Gore, Cobb, Moore, Wayne, Scheffler, Packers, Hanson. Not too many big (or do you prefer "elite") names on either squad. I don't believe either team could boast having "the top fantasy player" at any given position. But both teams were balanced.
My next point:

Joe Flacco. I realize he may be the "flavor of the month" after winning the Super Bowl. I still don't have him as a top 5 QB. But I'd be willing to bump him up to a top 10 for 2013. Why? Because of OC Jim Caldwell. With Cam Cameron as the OC (13 games), Flacco averaged 248 yards-per-game and 1.3 TD-per-game. When Caldwell took over as OC (6 games, not counting the Bengals game), Flacco's yards-per-game (obviously, including the playoffs) jumped to 284 and his TD-per-game almost doubled at 2.5.

By the same token (and forgive me since I didn't do the math), but I believe Ray Rice's numbers went down as the offense became more pass-oriented under Caldwell. Food for thought for 2013.

I do think Flacco will do better next year. Since there are like 15 guys in the top 10 already, I guess a 16th won't hurt anything.

Joe that's a good point about there being no elite guys unless you count Brees and Rodgers.
