If fantasy football were a stock market, I’d be the blue chip everyone wishes they bought a decade ago. Over the last two seasons, I’ve bulldozed the competition to the tune of a 23-5 regular-season record. Toss in the postseason, and I’m sitting on a .813 winning percentage. It’s officially the second-greatest two-year heater in…
Rob Masterson…the best team to never win a championship, and now, somehow, the only team to never win a championship. The latter is actually a new development, because the 2020s have essentially become the fantasy football equivalent of a participation-trophy convention: everyone gets a mug. Between 1999 and 2019, just seven people split the league’s…
The All-Robio Award is given to the best players at each position. Running backs and wide receivers each receive two awards since we start four total players at those positions every week. And we don’t stop at a First Team. We also hand out Second-Team and Third-Team honors. That means 24 players can earn an…
Yep: No. 1 in career rankings and No. 1 over the last decade. Of course, given how the decade began, it certainly didn’t feel like it was headed in that direction. In fact, the first few years felt like a pretty accurate representation of the previous decade: extreme highs, maddening lows, and just enough chaos…
Ten seasons. Ten playoff appearances. Not nine. Not eight. A perfect 10-for-10. This is a streak nobody else in this league can match this decade. Not Robby. Not Bobby. Nobody. And yet… he’s not ranked No. 1 in my decade rankings. We’ll get to that. But first, let’s revisit one of the most consistently dominant…
Once the league’s greatest dynasty. A man who dominated so thoroughly that he made the rest of us wonder if we were playing the game wrong, which, to be fair, we probably were. Yet somehow, four-time league champion Bob Castrone did not claim the top spot over the last decade. Why? What went wrong? Who’s…
At the top of my all-time rankings, there were always three names: Robio Murray, Bob Castrone, and Griff Coomer. As we all know, Coomer’s empire eventually crumbled, and Rich Calderon has since carved out his place on the Robioland Fantasy Football Mount Rushmore alongside Bob and yours truly. Of course, Mount Rushmore has four faces—at…
If we were doing a five-year ranking, Colby Hall would be sitting comfortably at the top thanks to back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023. But this is a 10-year ranking, and those first six years of the decade were… less than inspiring for Colby Hall, seen above, looking more and more like every composite sketch…
When it comes to deciding where to rank everyone, I first have to decide what matters most. Obviously, championships are what we all chase, but I’m not going to rank teams solely by how many mugs they have. For me, it’s a combination of regular-season success and postseason success. Just compare Matt to Eric. Overall,…
Let’s just get it out there: the past 10 years have been the best 10 years of Eric’s career in this league. For most owners, making the playoffs nine times in a decade would define an era of sustained success. Buried within those 10 seasons is the crowning achievement of his career: a league championship…
Seven seasons into his league career, there’s already plenty to like about Michael’s résumé. He opened with back-to-back winning seasons and consecutive playoff appearances, although both ended in similar fashion. In each year, he started 4-0 before fading down the stretch. In 2019, he closed the season 2-7; in 2020, he finished 5-4. Both playoff…
The decade opened in the middle of Rob’s most dominant run in this league. From 2016 through 2019, he posted four consecutive winning seasons. Combined with the previous five years, that gave him nine straight winning seasons. That’s the longest streak in league history. Naturally, he made the playoffs all four years. Oddly enough, he…
Burrier opened the decade with three straight 6-7 seasons, which is the fantasy football equivalent of a mayonnaise sandwich. Sure, it’ll keep you alive, but nobody’s calling it satisfying. Those first two 6-7 campaigns were just enough to sneak into the playoffs as the No. 8 seed. In both cases, he drew beatable No. 1…
Don sits at the bottom of the all-time rankings despite owning more championships than nearly half the league. Fortunately for him, Griff’s decade was somehow even worse, sparing Old Man Vozzola from wearing the crown as the league’s biggest disaster of the last ten years and escaping the label of Florida Man. That doesn’t mean…
A decade. For some, it’s been a glorious ten years, with a ton of wins, lots of points and maybe a title or two. For others, it’s been years of torture, filled with defeats, losing streaks and a lifetime’s worth of weekly low scores. Stats don’t always tell the whole story, but in this case,…
Griff is coming off a respectable season. He won eight games and made the playoffs. Hell, just two seasons ago, he went 9-5, earned the No. 2 seed, and finished third in scoring. Two winning records in the last three years is a positive sign… right? Yeah, it is. Unfortunately, we have to judge the…
It’s time for the annual Robio’s Career Rankings. Obviously when you’re trying to account for 26 seasons worth of results, there won’t be much movement. However, this year, Michael got a nice little boost after two straight title games and one championship. Meanwhile, after some brief relief in 2023, Griff’s slide down the rankings continue…
Scoring. Sure, winning matters more, but it’s tough to win a ton of games if you ain’t scoring. 26 teams have scored more points than anyone else in a season. Let’s celebrate those 26 and see how their season ended. 1999 – Robio Murray REGULAR SEASON GAMES: 14 TOTAL POINTS: 20,812 POINTS PER GAME:…
We’re less than a month away from kickoff. Some of you are busy mock-drafting like you’re prepping for a Harvard dissertation, others are…Don. Let’s rewind and embrace the chaos of Week One history. Who rules opening week like a fantasy god? Who should be legally banned from setting their lineup until Week Two? And more…
As we all should know, this league was once a Florida league, filled with Floridians. Soon after its creation though, your beloved commish would venture off to the north and by 2003, many of the teams would switch from folks in Florida to New Yorkers. The exceptions were David Hightower, the Vozzola clan, plus a…
