Bevy of 2009 rankings

Back to the bowling alley tonight, my friends. After a rather abysmal performance 2 weeks ago I'm kind of dreading how things might go down tonight. I'm trying to train the competitor in me to reclaim the fun in bowling even if I'm only rolling at the level of an 9-year-old. I swear I am bowling at about the same pace as I was at my 9th birthday party, which was of course held in a bowling alley. Though a duck pin bowling alley now that I think about it so I'll take some solace in the fact that I might have improved over the past 20ish years.

Enough on bowling - there's a Combine to talk about!

  • We're being financially conservative these days and not splurging on the NFL Network at home anymore so I won't actually be able to watch non-stop Combine footage this week/weekend. Bummer. But that's where NFL.com steps up to the plate with some great coverage, videos, etc. If you're not sure who to keep an eye on during the Combine, take a look at NFL.com's 2009 Scouting Combine preview video.
  • I love early offseason rankings and have a whole bunch to share here. We'll start things off with Hatty Waiver Wire Guru, who is back and better than ever. Take a look at Player Rankings 2009 for top QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs for the 2009 season. I'm seeing several rookie RBs in here - more than I was expecting, not sure I'm as confident in as many rookie RBs as Hatty is, but I'm certainly interested in how things will pan out this season.
  • Speaking of rookies, take a look at No-Offseason.com's Dynasty Rookie Big Board for thoughts on whose stock is going up or down. Keep an eye on this as the Combine weekend chugs along - I'm sure there will be some updates. At the bottom of the page you can look at rookie rankings by position, too.
  • Sporting News' Rankings: AP...and everybody else - I'm digging the RB rankings here.
  • Rankings galore for 2009 from NFL.com that are consistently updated - top 100 or by position: QB, RB, WR, TE, Kicker, D/ST
  • Looking for more keeper rankings? If so then give Hawk Fantasy Sports a try and check out their keeper rankings for QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs...and sleepers. Yes, I know how you all love your sleepers, so find Hawk's top 25 sleepers here.
  • Turn to one spot for advice from multiple experts on their top 12 for 2009 - Fantasy Index has asked several of the best and brightest minds in the FF industry to lay out their Top 12 in Ask the Experts.

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,...
