Rankings, SoS and more

This is going to be a quick post today - I'm off to go hear Michelle Obama speak on campus here at CU-Boulder but wanted to get a couple of links up before I head out the door. If I have time later today to get more links up, I will certainly try!
  • ProFootballWeekly has their weekly fantasy rankings up for Week 5 - as a Peyton owner, it's nice to see the guy's name high on a list of any kind again. It's been too long Peyton - I miss your total dominance.
  • I think you guys are going to really like this if you haven't seen it yet - in the comments of a recent post someone asked for strength of schedule info, so read on for FFToday's charts that show the "difference between the Opponent's FF Points Allowed for Quarterbacks and the NFL average (last 5 weeks)." Each position is represented so you might find yourself lost in this article for quite some time. I can't help but note Cassel's easy schedule over the next several weeks...
  • FootballDocs have their Start Sit recommendations up for the week - totally agree with the Felix Jones call here and think Barber will also have a pretty tremendous week.
  • Want an injury update on players like Carson Palmer, Aaron Rodgers and Brian Westbrook? Read up on the latest with Football Outsiders' Black & Blue Report.
  • The Hazean led me to this ridiculous news story, which hopefully will make you all chuckle a bit - try not to threaten your friends' lives over fantasy football like this guy did.
  • For more laughs (and sage advice), check out The Talented Mr. Roto: Week 5 Pickups - I've gotta be honest, I'm particularly liking the Matt Jones suggestion here when I see his future schedule...

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...

Guest post: WRs with a stellar SOS

Greetings, FFers and welcome to the start of a long weekend. To celebrate I have two posts for you today. Later in the day I'll have some links to get you through the weekend but first up, I thought I'd post a little something new to FFLibrarian. This summer I'll be rolling out a series of articles from Cris who has his own site that I've linked to several times since last fall - it's definitely a bit of a departure from my usual linking here on FFLibrarian so I'd love your feedback. Feel free to leave comments for either Cris or me in the comments section or via e-mail . Below you'll see an excerpt from his recommendations for wide receivers that you might want to consider based on a strength of schedule (SOS) that is his combination of fantasy points against, average draft position, and yards per attempt. Note the special emphasis here on the fantasy playoffs, Weeks 14-16. If you'd like to read the rest of Cris' rankings for team wide receivers,...
