Updated 2008 average ranking positions

Happy Labor Day...and for many of you, happy drafting day. I have just completed an update to my average ranking positions that I posted a few weeks ago - at your request, I made a few small changes like not including the list that was based on PPR (but if you want a PPR ranking, check out Football Burrito) but I basically followed the same pattern of 1) averaging all the overall rankings to provide an average ranking position for each player 2) including the standard deviation to create an average + consensus number that will give you insight on how similar that player's rankings were across the experts (the smaller the standard deviation, the more consensus there was on that player's ranking) and 3) a ranking within position based on the averages I pulled out.

Once again, I've posted the updated version on Scribd and as a Google spreadsheet but if you'd like the Excel version, just shoot me an e-mail.

Don't forget to sign up for the FFLibrarian's Challenge, part of NBCSports.com's $100k Fantasy Challenge (my group number is 1907 and the password is librarian). There are 28 of us in the league right now - join us!

If I get a chance later today I'll try to get some more links up but for now I'm off to enjoy my day off for a bit. Also, I'm signing up for Pay the Fan, like some of my fellow bloggers, and will be posting my thoughts on that and other league hosts in the next day or two (I'm done with 6 of my 7 drafts!).

Found the site a while back, enjoy your work.

I too have wondered the same, if these type of composite rankings are available for other sports. I think it would be a great thing to have.

Also a feature to customize them based on settings, like I've found elsewhere for football.

Keep up the great work!

I don't know about other sites and what they might have available - I'll be honest, I'm very much a one-trick pony with my love and attention to all things football. :) But if that changes and I find some basketball or baseball sites, I'll get some link love up to them.

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

I've got this week's consensus start/sit for you which is a tally of all the start/sit votes that players received in the various start/sit articles that I linked to earlier in the week.

Note: the players are listed in no particular order. QB Start: Michael Vick, Kyle Orton, Matt Ryan, Jason Campbell Sit: David Garrard, Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Vince Young, Carson Palmer RB Start: LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jackson Sit: Tim Hightower, C.J.

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
