I realize that Wilson WAS the best about 3 years ago, but obviously something has happened with this guy. I have wasted a high draft pick on him the past 3 years and he is good at best. Luckily I drafted 3 studs (including Wilson) at safety and have to start 2. You just watch, next week he will be rated a top 5 safety. Don't believe the huddle hype on this guy!!!

You call him a stud, and yet you come here to question our rankings?

First and foremost: I've said it before and will say it again... our rankings are merely a guide which you may (or may not) use for your own lineup decisions. If you're going 100% off our rankings, why even play the game?

Why wouldn't we rank him in the top five next week after 5 solos, an assist, fumble recovery and half a sack today?

Why wouldn't we continue to rank him highly when he's been a consistent stud for the past few years (excepting his injury-marred '07-08 season)?

Why do you keep drafting him if you apparently don't think he's worth where we rank him?

You're assuming that his league gives out points for those things.

You're right, actually. Let's see if we get a response that includes the scoring system. smile.gif

I have had Wilson for a few years and loved every bit of it. I can usually get him a few rounds later than I value him because others under value him. Unfortunately this year I missed him. He isn't what I call a #1 any more but his is absolutely consitant which is why you pick a safety over a DB. Now as far as scoring goes, if this guy didn't do his homework based on his league scoring then he deserves to be disappointed. I always run spreadsheets based on performance and history, against our league system and then use that against projections to determine who i draft. DO YOUR HOMEWORK, at least put in a little effort.

Hey Darin, what's with this we stuff? Are you telling me that you are employed by the huddle? If that's the case then first of all shame on you for even posting anything in reply to what I said. Let me refresh your memory that everyone using this site, as far as I know is paying for your service. Which l;eaves me well within my right to complain when you suck at it, just like it is always brought to my attention when I suck at what I'm getting paid to do. Second of all let me repeat what I said, Thehuddle has in the past and continues to rank Adrian Wilson too freakin' high. If you are telling me that you don't, you didn't pay close attention to the rankings last year especially. I continue to draft, and play, Adrian Wilson because thehuddle keeps ranking him not just high, but the #1 D-back every year! But I digress, I'm thinkin' you're just some fantasy dork with 20 mediocre teams, living in your mother's basement.

So what, are you mad at the huddle, at darin, or at your own stupidity?

Actually, yes, he is employed by thehuddle. And I would think that you would actually appreciate the chance to hear back directly from Darin, keggerz, j2V, DMD, WW and the other owner/authors at the site.

While those using the site may pay, many of those on the boards do not pay as the boards are free. And yes, you have the right to complain, just as they have the right to respons to your complaint, an, if needed, defend their hard work.

Considering rankings are just educated guesses at future performance, this is a very subjective statement.

So, you are saying that despite your above contention that you know that thehuddle has him ranked too high, you blindly follow their rankings? whacko2.gif

Looks like we were all wrong this week. shrug.gif That's one of the things with IDPs. Very hard to predict.

If we all could predict the outcomes of given events we'd be lining up in Vegas. don't rely on The Huddle to do ALL your work. Each league has unique scoring systems. coach.gif
