I’m Bradley Stalder, fantasy football analyst and founder of BS Fantasy Football.
I’ve been playing fantasy football for more than a decade across redraft, dynasty, best ball, and high-stakes formats. My goal with BS Fantasy Football is simple: make fantasy football analysis useful.
That means fewer hot takes for the sake of hot takes and more rankings, projections, data, and actionable analysis that can actually help you make a decision.
Whether you’re deciding between two players on Sunday morning, searching for an undervalued player before your draft, or building a dynasty roster for the next three years, I want you to leave BS Fantasy Football knowing what I think, why I think it, and what you can do with that information.
My background has always shaped the way I approach fantasy football.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Science from Franciscan University and later a Master of Education from the University of Notre Dame — Go Irish!
That analytical background naturally led me toward projections, rankings, probabilities, and finding places where my evaluation differs from the market.
I don't believe being different from consensus automatically makes an analyst smart. I also don't believe consensus should determine what I think.
Instead, I use data, projections, player usage, opportunity, NFL context, historical trends, and range of outcomes to develop my rankings and identify where the market may be getting a player wrong.
The goal isn't to make the boldest prediction. It's to make the best decision with the information available.
Putting rankings on the internet is easy. Having those rankings measured against other analysts is different.
I’ve competed in the FantasyPros Expert Accuracy Competition, where my weekly rankings are evaluated against experts from across the fantasy football industry.
Among my results:
Accuracy matters to me because rankings shouldn't exist only as content. They should be accountable. That's one reason you'll find my rankings prominently featured on this site.
Before building BS Fantasy Football into my primary fantasy football brand, I contributed analysis and content across the fantasy football industry.
My work has appeared with organizations including FantasyPros, FantasyData, FullTime Fantasy, Top Prop Fantasy, 3CoSports, and PlayerProfiler.
At PlayerProfiler, I eventually served as News Desk Director, helping lead its fantasy football news operation and working with contributors covering NFL news and its fantasy implications.
My projection work has also extended beyond traditional rankings. In 2022, my weekly Top Prop Fantasy article series produced a 62% win rate, applying the same projection-driven philosophy to NFL player props.
I've had the opportunity to discuss fantasy football as a guest on podcasts and shows throughout the industry, including:
FantasyPros • FFPC High Stakes Fantasy Football • Draft Sharks • Mind of Mansion • GOAT District • Grind Time • Off the Schneid • FF Mad Scientist • P2W Fantasy • Fantasy Dog Pound • Fantasy Frontline • Fantasy Football Origin Stories
Those conversations have covered everything from dynasty and best ball strategy to player evaluation, projections, sleepers, breakouts, and high-stakes fantasy football.
One of my favorite parts of fantasy football is identifying players whose opportunity hasn't caught up with their price.
Over the years, that has included some extremely deep calls — players such as Robert Tonyan and Isaiah Hodgins who emerged from relative obscurity to become legitimate fantasy contributors.
I'm not going to get every player right. Nobody does.
What matters is having a repeatable process for finding situations where price, opportunity and expected production don't line up — and being willing to act when they don't.
That's the philosophy behind BS Fantasy Football.
BS Fantasy Football covers the major formats and decisions fantasy players encounter throughout the year:
Weekly Rankings & Start/Sit Decisions
Updated rankings designed to help you make better lineup decisions.
Redraft Rankings & Projections
Player evaluation, projections, sleepers, breakouts, draft values, and roster construction.
Dynasty
Long-term player values, rookies, trades, roster construction, and changing market values.
Best Ball
Rankings, ADP values, tournament strategy, roster construction, and player exposures.
Fantasy Football Tools & Data
An expanding collection of resources designed to turn projections and rankings into better fantasy decisions.
And across BS Fantasy Football's video, podcast, and social channels, you'll also find reactions to NFL news and player developments as they happen.
Fantasy football is a major passion of mine, but it isn't my entire life.
By day, I work in education. I live near Detroit, Michigan, with my wife and our six children.
That life outside fantasy football has also influenced what I want BS Fantasy Football to become.
I don't believe good fantasy analysis needs to be unnecessarily complicated or require you to spend every waking hour following the NFL.
Give me the information that matters.
Show me why it matters. Help me make the decision.
That's what I'm building here.
If you're looking for fantasy football advice built around rankings, projections, data, accountability, and independent analysis, you're in the right place.
Use the rankings. Watch the analysis. Explore the tools. Challenge my takes.
And hopefully, win a few championships along the way.
