A focus on undervalued/overvalued fantasy players

Welcome to Friday afternoon. What's better than knowing that the start of the weekend is just a few hours away? How about knowing that we're now just a smidgen closer to training camp kickoff? July is absolutely flying by so let's get right to today's fantasy football links:
  • First up let's get to some rankings (just updated earlier this week) from FantasyPros911 - they've got you covered with both standard rankings and PPR rankings
  • I'm drawn to basically any article related to the Broncos, so of course I was particularly interested in reading NFL.com's RB Moreno has a ton of breakout potential. A quick read with plenty of reasons (such as a breezy RB schedule) for even non-Bronco fans to be psyched about Moreno.
  • If you're in the market for a draft kit, take a look at Ultimate Fantasy Football Strategy's draft kit (home of the awesome offensive line rankings). I haven't had a chance to scope it out yet but one thing I really like is the ability to see the 2009 draft kit so that you know exactly what you're buying. Nice touch.
  • FFToolbox has two solid articles from this past week that you might want to check out:
  • So undervalued and overvalued players must be the topic of the week or something. Lots of options along those lines:
Later this weekend I'll be posting Fantasyomatic.com's look at tight ends based on a well-tweaked strength of schedule for the 2010 season. Until then, enjoy your weekends!

You're getting lame. Hatty? We get it...you know them. FFStrategy, you're down to pimping their PAID material...Bronocs? We get it - you like them. Please expand your coverage. It's why I originally bookmarked you and I think you're mailing it in right now.
Wow, message received. Sorry you feel that way but I try to provide variety for all different levels of fantasy players. Hatty - haven't linked to him in a very long time nor do I know him; if you read the FFStrategy series on o-lines you'd know why I think it's worth suggesting their draft kit; and Broncos, don't want em, then skip over those links.

Mailing it in seems a bit harsh.

FFLib-

You rock. I check this site every day during the season and offseason you are one of the few sites that pays attention to posting. Keep up the excellent work.

Also, last I checked, this is a FREE site. You are doing us all a service, without reward, and it is greatly appreciated by your fans.

It is clearly hard work and it does not go unnoticed. I like everything you have been doing and look forward to more things to come.

To your detractor, skip the "Bronocs" posts if you do not care to read them. There is plenty of meat on the bones here besides those.

Lib- Keep up the good work, we love it!
Thank you guys for the kind words, though do want to add that I appreciate feedback any time. Yes, this site is free and done in my spare time, but I love doing this and I still want to make sure I'm providing you all with top-notch content that is useful. So please don't hesitate to constructively critique.

I love your site Sara and have you in my links righ there with Espn and CBS.

In fact, the one day last year that you mentioned my site in your links I had well over 1,000 hits that day.

Unfortunately you havent mentioned me since. Now would be a good time to as I just posted my top 50 running backs.

Ok, had to click on the Hatty link. And gotta question the Kolb logic. Did everyone forget once a team game plans for the starter, the cake walk ends? McNabb will have the laugh on PHI.

But on topic, Sara is wonderful. There is alway a couple of rotten apples.

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...
