This is how I'd roll on the east coast, baby!

It's amazing how much earlier in the day my posts would go up if I lived on the east coast. I know, sorry to be Captain Obvious on that one, but I'm in a lovely B&B in Waitsfield, VT, getting this post wrapped up before the wedding festivities begin today, and noticing how ridiculously early my laptop thinks it is (it's still on mountain time). But that comes with a small catch - a handful of my regular start/sit sites haven't posted yet. Don't worry - most have!

I'll try to make it back later today or tomorrow with a consensus start/sit list and even IDP links - but with my sister's wedding going on I might not have as much time as usual. Thanks for all the well wishers on that toast I'm writing, too...it's coming along pretty well!

And one last note, here's my Fifth Down column for the week where I've got an open call for help on one of my start or sit questions - A Librarian Could Use Your Help: Norwood or Rhodes? I mean really, WWFFLRD (What Would Fantasy Football Librarian Readers Do)?

Got any thing to console me for leaving Matt Cassel (or was that Tom Brady? I'm still not sure) on the bench?

What do you think: LT or Hightower? and then at WR: T Ginn, or Amani Toomer?

Thanks much

Thanks j.dot, I'll fix the CBS link. Brian, sorry I didn't get to a computer in time to answer start/sit questions this weekend since I was all wrapped up in travel and events for my sister's wedding. Hope your team is doing well!

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...
