On the road again

Greetings and happy Friday! I'm using a friend's mac right now and feeling some serious mac envy...is there a mac in my future?!


So since I'm traveling again, I'm mostly going to post start and sit links for you today with just a few additional links.

any one have an opinion on Moreno or Mcfadden? I have to put one of them in my flex.

I'd probably lean towards McFadden since they are in Oakland.

I'm in the FFL league, thying to figure out if my #2 back is Donald Brown, Michael Bush or Tashard Choice (if Barber is hurt) behind Kevin Smith. Thanks for the input.

Just noticed that our link to the RapidDraft Start/Bench goes to last week's. Here is Week 3 ...

I'd go Moreno and Rice over Benson, and probably roll with Donald Brown in the FFL question.

Choice looks good if we get word that Barber will be out Monday night, but you'll be stuck if you have to wait.

Michael Bush is a good-looking player but has only gotten 21 carries through two games for a team with every reason to run. He has to contend with Justin Fargas' return this week as well. Denver has played the inside run pretty tough so far, too.

Brown didn't get many carries on Monday night, but he was the choice to stay on the field for that final Colts drive. I think he's already on his way to moving ahead of Addai.
Whoops, thanks Matt. Fixed the RapidDraft link - and the FFGoat link, which was broken. Geez, gotta get my act together!

I like Choice - but again, like Matt said, that completely depends on Barber, which we won't know for sure until Monday. I'd probably go Brown over Choice but depends on how much of a risk taker you are.

I also like McFadden over Moreno; and Moreno and Rice, not Benson.

Good luck all!

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...
