FF Draft Homework

As I mentioned, I'm part of this two-round mock draft and I'm picking 5th...my pick is coming right up (this Thursday) and I'd like to be as prepared as possible. Only catch here is that I'm flying out of town towards the middle of eastern Ohio on the night of July 4th - and my pick needs to be up on July 5th. I'm confident the timing will work out though and to prepare, I've been searching high and low for lists of top picks. In fact, I have a spreadsheet going of 9 different sites/rankings. Seems like Blogger should let me post an excel spreadsheet but I'm not so sure about that...I'll see what I can do. And in the meantime, here's some of the research on the top picks:

The Huddle's Top 10 rankings for RB...only their Top 10 rankings for each position are free, which is something I really don't care for. What I'd like to know is if this is their full-time job - if so, I suppose it justifies the fee a little more since we all have make a living. In fact, in my dream world I am the Fantasy Football Librarian full-time. But still...the fee thing irks me.

But back to actual football - or at least actual fantasy football:

RBs are the heart of the matter in any 2-round draft, so look no further that this: Fabiano brings us a short review of all 32 backfields in A Look at the Most Important Position

Back on the fantasy wagon

With my library conferences behind me (for a few weeks at least), I can now concentrate on fantasy football again. If you happen to be a librarian and are interested in how my co-presenter and I tied together fantasy football and information literacy, check out my co-presenter’s blog . Though I imagine most of you would much rather catch up on the following football news and thoughts for the week: I remain a bit dazed and confused by my certainty last summer that Cedric Benson was going to rock my RB2 world in 2007. Didn’t happen and now he’s moved onto ankle surgery, alleged intoxication and resisting arrest on boats. Awesome. You can practically taste Matt Forte’s value skyrocketing here. In fact, wondering about rookie RBs in general? Well then check out FF Xtreme’s The Day After: Ranking the Rookie Running Backs . I love reading articles or stats that challenge my preconceived notions – The Fifth Down’s Chad the Completion Percentage Machine does just that. No offense to thos

Streaming Defenses - Week 16

Don't know about you all, but in our house this week is just chock full of events, visiting with family, and getting organized for our upcoming time off over the holidays. Lots of scrambling going on around here and attempts to install some sense of gratitude in my boys. What am I grateful for this season? Many things but let's start with Bob. Bob has been my fantasy football rock, coming back week after week to post. Hats off to you, Bob, and thank you for your diligent work and research. So here he is with this year's final streaming defense post.  Well it’s the last week of the Fantasy Football Playoffs in most leagues, and my last post of the season. I hope you all found these posts useful. And if I failed you, you have to murder a lot more experts before you get to me. I myself have had a terrible playoff season. I’m out of all but one of my leagues due to the weird games the last two weeks. Between weather that didn’t materialize to normally consistent players co

Start/Sit Week 4 and a smattering of rankings

It's been awhile, my fantasy football friends. I have lofty intentions of getting several posts up here each week, but life is busy and I will do my best. So in the intervening 6 years since I've posted regularly on here, our family added another child (now there are 3!), moved back to Boulder for a sabbatical year and then returned to Knoxville, and we have basically been chugging along like many of the rest of you. My two boys (who turn 12 and 9 soon) are in a fantasy football league for the first time this year with their buddies, which ostensibly is the just the dads (and mom!) playing one another of course. But my oldest is taking it super seriously and what kind of Fantasy Football Librarian would I be if I didn't step up my game for him? So I'm back - and am interested in the fantasy landscape - lots of the same awesome sites out there, but many new ones as well. I'll try to incorporate a mix. Please be sure to let me know if my 2006 ways aren't working i
