IDP Forecast: Week 10

Time to take a look at some of the IDP prognostications for Week 10 of the NFL season. My personal favorite IDP site, The Hive, is sadly not up on the Fantasy Sharks' site yet. When it appears, I'll get a link up to it. So until then here are a few other sites to check out for advice on which individual defensive players you should have in your starting lineup this weekend.
  • FFToolbox.com's multi-page Week 10: IDP Sleepers delivers a couple of overlooked dudes that might be available for you to grab this week if you need to fill in for a bye. Or just upgrade your lineup.
  • Fantasy Insider Online's Week 10 IDP Roundup - great content, these guys have obviously done their homework and you'll probably find yourself wanting more.
  • If you have Leonard Little, Jonathan Vilma, or Nick Collins, check out CBS' Witness for the Defense: Week 10 for thoughts on who might be replacing them in the lineup now that they're injured. And read on for IDP suggestions and sleeper picks for this week's games.
  • FFToday's IDP Notes: Week 10 is another good IDP stop or try Fantasy Football Whiz's IDP Rankings Week 10 divided up by LBs, DBs, and DLs.
I think I should also note that in 10 days from now I will almost be en route to Monday Night Football at Invesco Field here in Denver for the Broncos vs Titans game. This being my first MNF experience, I am really looking forward to it. The countdown is on, baby.

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...
