Something seems off about Yahoo rankings this year. In the past, a players rank was a players rank regardless of league settings. A player ranked #10 in a BA league was also ranked #10 in an OBP league.
I've noticed some odd rankings this year at Yahoo and wondered if anybody else has seen this or heard of changes in their algorithms. The first time I noticed it was like week 2. I forget the players but player A was ranked lower than player B despite player A having more Rbi's, more HR's, a higher BA the same runs scored and 1 less SB.
Today as I'm going thru my teams I have Jackie Bradley Jr and Manny Machado on 2 teams. Both leagues are the same scoring categories and roto leagues (though one is a keeper and 1 is not).
In The Dirty Dozen (keeper league) Machado was ranked 11th and Jackie Bradley Jr is ranked 78. In the other league (redraft league) Machado is ranked 10th and JBJ is ranked 80. Just seems odd that players within the same scoring system would have different ranks. Especially when historically the scoring system didn't seem to matter for rankings. |

There was a change this year but I don't quite remember what it was. It might be in the rules? I knew to always take the rankings with a grain of salt because they were always based off of 12-team AVG roto scoring, which I haven't been a part of for more than decade.

Yeah, I've never held their rankings as a hard and fast rule. The ramkings are just a tool and like any tool they have a good use and a bad use. With Yahoo especially it seems to be a very narrow line for 'good use.'

Are the roster/lineup sizes different between your leagues? Perhaps it skews based on factors like position?
I'm only in 1 league this year otherwise I'd dig into it more.
