The nerd in all of us

Thanks to a savvy reader, Andrew, I have recently learned about a pretty tremendous site that I think many of you are going to like. It's called Fantasy Football Nerd and according to the site it "aggregates the rankings of all those sites we pour over prior to our draft and during the season to analyze the rankings given to each player to produce a Nerd Rank" - sweet, right? This blows my weekly consensus start/sit listing out of the water and it's all freely available but you need to register to use the service. The FFNerd doesn't list all of the sites it uses nor does it explicitly address how it aggregates the rankings, which are two things that I'd like to see on the site, but otherwise it looks like an excellent resource. So if you have a tough start/sit decision to make this week and are wondering what the consensus is from the experts, take a look!

Another fun piece of news is that my local newspaper, the Boulder Daily Camera, did a story on me and FFLibrarian that went up today - CU librarian turns fantasy fanatic. Several of you posted comments to my FFL posts that were included in the story. Really I'm a little embarrassed that I'm somehow newspaper-worthy but thank you all for your interest in this blog - I really appreciate it!

Hope you're all enjoying college football today and here's to an awesome start to the fantasy season...

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

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
