R.I.P. chat window

I said goodbye to the meebo chat window on the right side of the blog today. Now if there's an outpouring of love from you all for that chat window, then by all means, let it be known in the comments and I will bring the chat back. But I haven't been able to keep up with the chat and it seems unfair to you all to offer a place for advice and then never get back to you. So instead, I have disabled the chat feature and am hoping that instead you all will use the contact me button to e-mail me OR leave comments on blog posts. I am much better equipped to answer those queries and feel like I'll be providing better fantasy football advice that way. Let me know if this brings you great chat sorrow and perhaps I'll resurrect it once a week for a chat afternoon or something.

Now to the weekly update on the FFLibrarian's Challenge in the NBC Sports' $100K Fantasy Challenge, here are the top 5 teams as of this week:
  1. Lab
  2. Teh Big Red Dogs
  3. Copycats
  4. Micksauce
  5. Law Dawgs

Tonite I can write the saddest lines.
Alas poor Sara, I knew thee well....
Be careful not to be too caught up in your whirlwind fame and popularity: FFL eyeglasses, FFL book covers, FFL T'shirts . The chat window was ur personal touch with the masses.
Now one must wonder if you answer the e'mails urself or perhaps its Wyatt or Doc who does? You do have a gift of prose, and your appeal goes way beyond your gender. Just dont lose sight of whence you came.

PS Be careful not to damage your fantsy karma . Far more important than all the expert rankings and stats. Was that FFL for president under armour I just saw?

Thanks Neruda fan, but I do hope there are other aspects to my blog that make it unique. Like I said, I will certainly consider bringing the chat back at times if there's enough interest.

Lab, you rock - you're not only in 1st place here but 320th overall, I think. That's fantastic! No pressure or anything...

And thanks anon, glad you like the e-mail advice.

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...
