Weekend Draft Prep

CBS Sportsline has a nice article on 2nd year QBs Cutler, Leinart, Young, and Jackson (when does Tarvaris Jackson ever get mentioned in the same breath with those other guys?). They include projections for 2007 for these guys as well as some historical stats of how other QBs like Peyton, McNabb, Leftwich, Big Ben, etc performed in their sophomore year.

Need some help with those later rounds of the draft? Bruno Boys has you covered with their The Bruno Boys 2007 Fantasy Football Draft: Rounds 11-16 article as well as the rest of the draft in Rounds 6-10 and Rounds 1-5. Each pick has a sentence of commentary, too, which adds a little something. Check em out.

Worried about Donald Driver and where his foot injury might put him in the rankings? Well you're going to have to wait until Monday to find out any further details - not what most who are drafting this weekend wanted to hear, I'm sure. For the latest info, check out SI's Doctors Encouraged by Driver. [photo: packersnews.com]

And finally I'm sure I've posted links to this site before, but be sure to check out The Huddle's Draft Kit - they have a lot of free material and if you're down to crunch time here and need some cheatsheets and mock drafts for really any type of draft (auction, keeper, IDP), you'll be glad you read these.

Hello:
My name is Scott and I am with www.fantasyfootballsummary.com. Just wanted to say thanks for the post and I like your site. Looks like we have the same ideas on how to rank the players and construct the best possible fantasy teams.

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...
