IDP Forecast: Week 6...plus new Start/Sit sites

It has been a rather long week for me so I am embracing Friday with a lot of excitement - and planning on dedicating a good chunk of time to fantasy football preparations. So let the links begin!

IDP Forecast: Week 6 - read on for the usual suspects. If anyone has a free IDP link that I am missing, let me know. There aren't nearly as many IDP sites and I am always looking for more.
  • Fantasy Sharks' The Hive: Week 6 - good stuff as always here and with the extreme number of byes this week, take a look at this list if you need ideas on who to pick up this week.
  • FFToday's IDP Notes: Week 6
  • CBS Sports' Witness for the Defense: Week 6 - lists a sleeper pick at each IDP position
  • FFToolbox's Week 6: IDP Starters - as always I find myself wishing they formatted this a little differently since this list is really just about IDP studs, many of whom weren't available the day after the draft. But it's interesting reading nonetheless.
Beyond IDPs, I have more fantasy links for you. First, I was reading SportingNews.com's Rankings: Using all your tools and think it's always a good idea to remind people to look at a matchup when considering your bye week plug-ins. If the Jets and Browns really are giving up TDs to TEs like crazy, maybe give some extra consideration to picking up the newly returned LJ Smith (as long as he's definitely starting) or Miami TEs David Martin or Justin Peele could turn out well for you this week.

Consider ARI's Karlos Dansby and ATL's Michael Boley folks...both are among the highest scoring LB's the last two weeks.

BTW, who are your IDP's, fflibrarian?

Jim,
I have two different IDP leagues. In one I have:
Antoine Winfield
Barrett Ruud
Napoleon Harris
D'Qwell Jackson
I have hung onto Winfield but rotated the other guys based on byes. I'm open to suggestions to replace D'Qwell in particular since I just picked him up this week. Boley and Dansby have both been taken.

In my other IDP league I have:
Aaron Kampman
London Fletcher-Baker
Barrett Ruud (again)
Antoine Winfield (again)
Darelle Revis
Karlos Dansby
Kelvin Hayden
Again, I'm open to suggestions for some of those guys, but I think I've got a pretty stellar group there.

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...
