Fantasy Football Royalty

For those of you who are planning on coming to the Buffalo Wild Wings game watch in Brooklyn next Thursday, I'm hoping to add some fantasy football royalty to the guest list. So far I'm working on bringing Rotoworld's Gregg Rosenthal and RotoExperts' Scott Engel...and my sister. No, she's not into fantasy football - just the Patriots - but I'm just psyched she's happy to join in on the fun so she's royalty to me. If you'd like to join us, just send me an e-mail so that I can add your name to the guest list.

Meanwhile as I mentioned earlier this week, I've got another contest for you all - another BWW giveaway. If you've been searching high and low for that perfect lawn chair, look no further. Take a look at the image below - if you can correctly guess my lineup for the BWW All-Star Blogger League, and which player will be my high scorer for the week, you'll be in the drawing for the lawn chair (e-mail me your guess after using the above link to scope out my roster). And by the way, keep the comments coming on my BWW posts from earlier this week in order to be in the running for a $50 BWW gift card (and no, despite the overwhelming number of references to BWW, I haven't sold out).

Wondering about the results of my readers' choice poll? Swing back by this afternoon - they should be up in the next few hours!

Moving to today's links...

    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...
