Last chance to vote!

Good morning and welcome back after a nice, long holiday weekend. Hope everyone had safe and easy travels - and good times with family and friends. I'm guessing each and every one of you is psyched about tonight's game. I mean what a great MNF game tonight! My husband and I are meeting up with my sister (who is a big Pats fan) to watch the first half of the game together tonight. I think we've found a bar in the West Village, but if there are any NYCers out there who have suggestions on good Patriots bars, please let me know!

I'll find out later today if we left enough comments on the Buffalo Wild Wings All-Star Blogger League website to qualify for the $50 gift card this week. It's looking like it might be a close week so I'll just remind you all that the blogger who has the most comments on that site wins a $50 gift card to BWW, which I'll disperse at random to one of you wonderful commenters. So get commenting on my post today for your chance to win 50 bones!

Also, today is your last chance to vote in the 1st Annual FFLibrarian Readers' Choice poll. Nearly 700 of you have responded so far and I can't wait to get the results up later this week.

Finally, a happy birthday to my awesome dad - wish I was with you to celebrate today. We'll toast to you as we watch Monday Night Football!

We've got lots of waiver wire suggestions among today's links - the lucky Week 13 prep is on in full force:

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...
