Barracuda Fantasy Football Keeper/Dynasty Rankings are intended to give you a quick picture of the players that are available in fantasy leagues this season.  In addition to the typical standard method of ranking players, we have taken into account three major factors that most people will use when trying to evaluate keeper talent…Age, Five Year Projected Value, and Perceived Job security!  We feel that these factors are the key elements to ranking players for their future value.  Keep in mind that we also tell you weather or not we view a player as a potential fantasy starter, back-up, or bench player for the upcoming 2008 fantasy season!  Updated 6/10/2009

Age: We are simply letting you know how old the player is and you can determine on your own if that is good or bad.

Five Year Projected Value: Indicated with a +,-, or =… this is our way of letting you know if this players value is thought to be increasing, decreasing, or staying the same over the next five seasons. Obviously the older players value will likely be on the fall and the younger players will likely be listed as increasing.

Job Security: Indicated with a 1-10 rating, one being shaky to no security and ten being locked in as the team’s starter into the future. This is our indication to you showing what we perceive as the safety of this player keeping his job or improving his status. It's great to know where your player stands on the depth chart and if they are going to get the opportunity to produce.

Current Fantasy Rank: Our ranking of how we view this player for the upcoming season.  Showing you what status we would draft him under for this season only.  After all, this is the season that matters the most even when you are rebuilding, it’s nice to know what you should expect for this season.
