Post-Super Bowl linkage

Oh it has been a long time, my fantasy football friends. I think I might have been blogging throughout the 2010 season purely on adrenaline - as loyal readers surely noticed, when the season ended my blogging here absolutely collapsed. While it did coincide with my return to work and getting our son set up in day care, it has also just been a much-needed time for refueling.

First, before I get a whole deeper into today's post, I hope everyone enjoyed their Super Bowl Sunday, one of my favorite days of the year. A hearty congrats to Packers fans out there - job well done.

I owe you all a lot of thoughts on the annual accuracy contest, which are still forthcoming. Truth be told, the files for the analysis all live on my husband's laptop, which was unexpectedly stuck along with him in the midwest for several days last week during the ice/snow storm that completely ravaged his travel plans. Instead of a quick 36-hour trip, my husband was gone for 4 days and I have an even greater respect for single parents now. Four days alone with a 4-month-old, followed by a weekend of said baby battling his first cold and I'm basically a shell of my former self. Yesterday I was contemplating a George Costanza sleep-under-my-desk-at-work move but I don't think I have enough privacy for that one. So when I recover from this whirlwind week, I'll be sure to get more details your way. I hope to include the 2010 results in the aggregate analysis I've done to bring you a multi-year analysis by the end of February...in reality, that probably means you should look for it in March.

Now onto a few links...
  • KFFL.com is jumping into the 2011 NFL Draft prediction season with their 2011 NFL Mock Draft. Note, this isn't a fantasy mock draft but you'd be wise to stay hip to the actual draft particularly if you're in a keeper league of course. 
  • More NFL mock drafts from FFToolbox.com - they have a ton that are constantly being updated but I'll link you to their latest from Ben Standig. Or try The Hazean's 2011 NFL Mock Draft: Version 1.0.
  • More NFL stuff you really need to pay attention to? The talks between the players union and the NFL. Read up on the latest with the Fifth Down's look at Goddell's report at the Super Bowl.
  • Finally, I love offensive line analysis. Pretty much any article that looks at how offensive line play impacts fantasy football has me hook, line and sinker. So ProFootballFocus.com's Fantasy: Does Offensive Line Play Impact a Running Back's Performance? caught my attention. Read the articles for the details but I just find it hard to believe that o-line play really and truly has no impact on an RB's production. The study looked at 2008-2010 numbers in this analysis and I guess I'd be interested in whether or not this holds for a larger data set.

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
