Preseason week 3 winner

This past week I asked you all to send me your guesses for the QB with the most passing yards for a chance to win a season-long sub to the excellent FFXtreme. Matt Leinart ended up hucking the ball for the most yards (360) but since none of us saw that coming, it was the #2 QB, Aaron Rodgers, who ended up bringing luck to Nick from Madison, WI. Rodgers threw for 258 and Nick had sent in his guess of 270 yards, making him the closest guess for the week. Nick will soon be cruising around the FFXtreme website, with all sorts of tips and tricks at his fingertips.

Wouldn't you want that, too? Thought so. So send in your guess for the TE with the most receiving yards (include the yardage, too) in this week's preseason #4 games. C'mon, make the games interesting why don't you?!

And because I live and breathe FF, here a few more links for the day:
  • Hatty Waiver Wire Guru is rolling out a new writer - first article, Never Saw it Coming, pulls out a handful of dudes that you might want to think long and hard about before drafting this season.
  • FFToolbox has their Who to Start for week 1 up (though they reserve the right to tweak it) with projected fantasy points.
  • Jay Clemons bring us Fantasy Clicks on SI, which frankly is like 17 fantasy articles in one. Or like picking up War & Peace and realizing what you just got yourself into (but man, what a great read, gotta love that Russian lit!) - the article just keeps going. And going. In a great way. So read on for pretty much everything under the moon (good weather schedules; drafting strategies for the first 5 rounds for all slots in a 12-team league; bye week thoughts; draft domination strategies; QB tiers; RBBC rankings; fantasy playoff studs - seriously, I'm not kidding, this is all in there).
Enjoy the football tonight!

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...
