Your Dynasty Awaits

One of the leagues I'm in is a keeper league and last season I was able to pick up some stellar players in Maurice Jones-Drew and Marques Colston [photo: Doug Pensinger, Getty Images] - will their magic last? FFToday.com has a Building a Dynasty series for QBs and RBs (and WRs and TEs to come), ranking the top 20 players by their long term value, short term value, and job security.

FFToolbox.com also provides a ranking for keeper/dynasty leagues and I particularly appreciate their dynasty IDP rankings. However, it is over a month old now and I think a lot of their picks are no-brainers - still worth a look though, particularly for those who are new to the IDP world. Another interesting IDP site - a blog dedicated entirely to IDPs. Love it. Check out this entry with rookie IDP info. I'm still in search of the in-depth IDP ranking (dynasty or not)...if anyone out there has one, let me know.

And because I think Rotoworld's Gregg Rosenthal is a man full of fantasy wisdom, here's a link to his fantasy football blog where he'll be blogging live during a fantasy industry draft at 1 PM EST today (soon!). Is it just me or do the rest of you find those drafts as telling as I do?

A hiatus

Update:  It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you all that yesterday, August 30th, I delivered our stillborn daughter, Caroline Mary. This has been an almost surreal and definitely heartbreaking experience and I appreciate the support in each and every one of your notes. Caroline will be honored and loved always. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your thoughts and prayers - they mean the world to our family. I have been a very poor blogger this month and feel I owe you all an explanation, particularly as this is crunch time for draft prep. I hope this is not too personal of a look into my life since I know most of you are just here for the football. I am nearly 18 weeks pregnant and we have learned that our baby (a little girl!) has triploidy, a chromosomal abnormality that means she has three copies of every chromosome instead of the normal two. The doctors have explained that it's a completely random occurrence and fairly rare that she has made it this far along, but tha...

Labor Day FF links

Happy long weekend! Here's hoping most of you are free to enjoy the 3-day weekend and the relaxation and fun that comes with it. I spent my Sunday participating in 3 fantasy football drafts scattered throughout the day and night, but I think I've finally wrapped up my drafts for the year. So like many of you I'm now turning my attention to the Week 1 games! But before we get to some player rankings and prep for Week 1, I want to make sure that all you experts out there are aware of the upcoming deadline for the annual accuracy contest that I run with the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. I compare preseason positional rankings from experts to the final outcome of the fantasy season to see which site had the most accurate preseason rankings, and this year's deadline is fast approaching: September 9th by kickoff. Check out the info on the FSTA site for more details and be sure to e-mail me your submissions. Now, onto Week 1! First up, let's get to some of this...

2014 Average Position Rankings spreadsheet

Friends, I've got a first draft of the 2014 Average Position Rankings spreadsheet up here as a google doc. If you're new to this annual spreadsheet or need a refresher, here's the scoop. I take the top 200 or so overall rankings that are freely offered by a handful of sites and I average out their rankings for each player. I also take the standard deviation to see how a player's rankings differ among experts, and add that in as another component to give you a sense of how much consensus there is on a player. I drew from the following sites this year: FFToolbox, CBSSports.com (both Jamey and Dave), ESPN, FFCalc's ADP, The Fake Football, The Football Girl, NFL.com, DavidGonos.com, SI, Yahoo, FantasyPros.com, and RealTime Fantasy Sports. All offered roughly a top 200 overall ranking and you can see each site's ranking (gathered 8/20/14) in the second tab on the spreadsheet. You'll see that I really haven't fleshed it out a ton yet - I still have to ge...
