Taking a break

I might take a few days off of the blog - my grandpa passed away. There's not enough room on this blog to describe how wonderful of a man he was and I will miss him dearly.

For fantasy football help this weekend, be sure to swing by some of the great regulars like Rotoworld, The Hazean, Bruno Boys, and FFToday. They'll be able to provide you with plenty of rankings, projections, and game reviews.

Sincere condolences, Sara. I remember you mentioning he was a Michigander (as I am) and all your readers wish you well in the days to come as you grieve with your family.

Thanks you guys - I'm once again reminded of what a great bunch of readers you are. My grandpa was 91 and lived a long, wonderful life - I do have great memories of him and know how much he loved us. He was a Tigers fan, a Northwestern and Michigan fan, and despite his Alzheimer's could still remember to tell people that I blogged for the NY Times about fantasy football (yes, he even said blog!).

Thank you all for your kind words.

Very sorry for your loss. Same thing happened to me a few years ago and it, of course, is very tough. My thoughts are with you and the family.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It is good to hear that he lived a long, happy life, but I am sure he will be missed. I lost a grandfather as well just a few years ago.

My condolences. When my father passed in April, I used fantasy football as a means to stay close to him, as we both shared a deep love of football and I miss watching it with him... may the plentiful loving memories tide you over in your grief.

Back on the fantasy wagon

With my library conferences behind me (for a few weeks at least), I can now concentrate on fantasy football again. If you happen to be a librarian and are interested in how my co-presenter and I tied together fantasy football and information literacy, check out my co-presenter’s blog . Though I imagine most of you would much rather catch up on the following football news and thoughts for the week: I remain a bit dazed and confused by my certainty last summer that Cedric Benson was going to rock my RB2 world in 2007. Didn’t happen and now he’s moved onto ankle surgery, alleged intoxication and resisting arrest on boats. Awesome. You can practically taste Matt Forte’s value skyrocketing here. In fact, wondering about rookie RBs in general? Well then check out FF Xtreme’s The Day After: Ranking the Rookie Running Backs . I love reading articles or stats that challenge my preconceived notions – The Fifth Down’s Chad the Completion Percentage Machine does just that. No offense to thos

Streaming Defenses - Week 16

Don't know about you all, but in our house this week is just chock full of events, visiting with family, and getting organized for our upcoming time off over the holidays. Lots of scrambling going on around here and attempts to install some sense of gratitude in my boys. What am I grateful for this season? Many things but let's start with Bob. Bob has been my fantasy football rock, coming back week after week to post. Hats off to you, Bob, and thank you for your diligent work and research. So here he is with this year's final streaming defense post.  Well it’s the last week of the Fantasy Football Playoffs in most leagues, and my last post of the season. I hope you all found these posts useful. And if I failed you, you have to murder a lot more experts before you get to me. I myself have had a terrible playoff season. I’m out of all but one of my leagues due to the weird games the last two weeks. Between weather that didn’t materialize to normally consistent players co

Start/Sit Week 4 and a smattering of rankings

It's been awhile, my fantasy football friends. I have lofty intentions of getting several posts up here each week, but life is busy and I will do my best. So in the intervening 6 years since I've posted regularly on here, our family added another child (now there are 3!), moved back to Boulder for a sabbatical year and then returned to Knoxville, and we have basically been chugging along like many of the rest of you. My two boys (who turn 12 and 9 soon) are in a fantasy football league for the first time this year with their buddies, which ostensibly is the just the dads (and mom!) playing one another of course. But my oldest is taking it super seriously and what kind of Fantasy Football Librarian would I be if I didn't step up my game for him? So I'm back - and am interested in the fantasy landscape - lots of the same awesome sites out there, but many new ones as well. I'll try to incorporate a mix. Please be sure to let me know if my 2006 ways aren't working i
