CRFL Keeper Rankings 3/20/17

It's draft season in dynasty/keeper leagues across the fantasy footballing world, but I think I'm overdue on releasing the official CRFL keeper rankings. They are below. Abbreviation of NFL teams in gray, CRFL team names are in parenthesis. I did include rookies based on talent alone.

The keeper rankings are based on a combination of talent, situation, and age. I've kept true to that, but of course this is just my opinion. In addition to the keeper rankings, at the bottom of the page is a "future rankings" that ranks the future prospects each CRFL team has going forward based on the keeper ranks. I did it Roto style, so #1 rank = 50 points, #2 rank = 49 points, #3 rank = 48 points, #4 rank = 47 points, etc.

Future Rankings

1. Gem State Bruins (322)
2. Kaneohe Ikaika Warriors (202)
3. Northern Lights (166)
4. Vito's Vikings (138)
5. Huskerfan (107)
6. Wind River Bison (97)
7. Spokane Spartans (70)
8. Badgerhawks (46)
9. Juice Box Heroes (27)
10. Brucey's crew (20)
T11. Connell Conquistadors (0)
T11. The Valley Bulls (0)

Analysis: Quick glance at the point totals suggest that Gem State and Kaneohe are good bets to be top contenders for the foreseeable future. Connell and the Bulls are definitely looking to the draft for help, but things change quickly in fantasy football. Vito's Vikings would have been ranked near the bottom of this list last year.

The real surprise to me was reigning Cascade Conference champion, Brucey's crew, registering near the very bottom. I'm guessing the crew would have a lot of players ranked in the 51-70 range, however based on these rankings need to keep one eye on development for the future.

Overall, this maps out which teams are likely to be a factor in playoff races for years to come, and who need to start mining the draft for future talent.

Next update to these rankings will likely come in the summer post-NFL draft.
