Sigh, McJayGate continues...

I can't escape the McJayGate talk - it's too much even for this NFL headlines-lovin', Broncos-lovin' fan. Enough already - make the trade happen if it's going to happen. So I'll leave you with just one Jay Cutler link from the Denver Post with some speculations about other QBs we could acquire.
  • I'm far from convinced that L.J. Smith is an upgrade from perennially injured Todd Heap, but hey, why not pile on the questionably productive TEs in Baltimore? As Rosenthal points out, this move essentially cancels out any fantasy value for either player.
  • Fantasyfootball.com has finished up their mock draft for the 2009 fantasy football season going all the way through the 14th round for a 12-team league.
  • The Bruno Boys have some Dwayne Bowe lovin' for the 2009 season - read Bowe in for Big Year in 2009? for reasons why you're going to want to turn to him come draft day. I'd be pretty pleased with Bowe as my WR2, though I would like to see some concrete evidence of his chemistry with Cassel before I get too excited about him.
  • Are you a Bills fan? Or maybe just want to get the offseason scoop on their acquisition of T.O. and Lynch's suspension situation? Take a look at SportingNews.com's Grading the offseason: Buffalo Bills.
Finally, kudos to my sister for this great March Madness link - if you're in need of some bracket advice, look no further my friends. Try Bracketology 101 for some expert bracket counsel; these guys have an impressive track record. I'd also recommend scoping out Accuscore's Rules of Thumb for Picking your Bracket.

Enjoy the start of the tourney!

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...
