Super Bowl, vodka, and 2010 thoughts

Tomorrow morning at this time I'll be on a flight down to Ft. Lauderdale to begin the big Super Bowl weekend trip, courtesy of my win in the Buffalo Wild Wings All-Star Blogger league. Expect to see a decrease in fantasy football articles here over the next week - but a serious uptick in discussions of Super Bowl events. If that isn't your bag, then just duck out for a few days and I'll see you back here next week with lots of offseason analysis.

So let's move onto today's links for your last dose of fantasy footballness for the next few days:
  • Let's start this off by talking about the future. I'm enjoying reading FFManiazs' Dynasty Sleepers: Quarterbacks article - check it out for 5 young QBs with big potential.
  • Or take a look at Rotoworld's Top 50 Keepers (plus a little supplement on their Pancake Blocks blog with those Also receiving votes).
  • Also in a look ahead, FanHouse puts their Man of Intrigue series onto Julian Edelman - if you're a Pats fan or an Edelman fan you'll want to read up on what they have to say.
  • Want some thoughts on who might win the Super Bowl? Razzball writers are taking a stab at predicting the outcome of Sunday's game.
  • Or let's say you want a chance to take a stab at a bevy of prop bets and win some vodka? An obvious combination of course. Well then see what's going on over with The Definitive Dmbosstone's Prop Bet Challenge for the Super Bowl.
  • Or perhaps all you really want are some fantasy thoughts on this weekend's game - if so then mosey on over to FFToolbox's Who to Start Rankings/Projections.
  • Finally, if you're still here on the blog then you're probably well aware that crucial developments can happen during the postseason (or you're a member of my family who has zero interest in fantasy football but wants to hear all about my upcoming Super Bowl trip...) - and NoOffseason.com is here to help. Take a look at their Learning Fantasy from the NFL Playoffs for guys who have proven their worth during the month of January.

NFL Draft said…
Super Bowl 2010 Ads are very important to all the NFL and Super Bowl lovers. While many experts say that the Indianapolis Colts will win the game, still on the other side of the coin, anything can happen. Super Bowl 2010 defies the regular game because this is the biggest football game of the season passing the college bowls.What do u think?

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...
