May fantasy musings

After a little bit of bargaining and perhaps some disgruntled parties on both sides, my husband and I had our offer on a home in Knoxville accepted over the weekend. Sounds a bit like the NFL world these days...except for the fact that the 2011 season is still very much in limbo. Anyway, the house is 102 years old so fingers crossed that the inspection goes well...

So clearly lots of change coming to the FFLibrarian household this summer, but one thing we can all count on is the steady increase in fantasy analysis as we make our way through May.
  • First up, for those of you that are interested in testing the auction league waters, KFFL.com has a fairly thorough article with some pros and cons and the basics behind auctions in Introduction to fantasy football auction leagues.
  • Assuming that the season comes together here, Rotoworld's The 2001 Quarterback Market showcases QBs that likely to see some movement in free agency, trades, or just plain ol' release-ville. Good, worthwhile read.
  • ProFootballFocus.com's Going Deep looks at what 2010's QBs did in the land of deep passes (20+ yards). Not sure you're going to walk away with any great fantasy insights but I'm always interested in a little number crunching and thought you might agree.
  • The Fantasy Shrink (who, by the way, is a new site spearheaded by John Paulsen, the impressively accurate expert who dominated FantasyPros' weekly accuracy analysis for the 2010 season) offers up his first rankings of the season - take a look at his initial 2011 RB Rankings and 2011 WR Rankings. Another item of note from the Shrink is a PPR SOS (strength of schedule) - good stuff.
  • I enjoy a good debate over the fantasy merits of two players - read up on NoOffseason.com's Loaded Keeper Question that compares Arian Foster to Chris Johnson.
  • Finally, I know many of you in dynasty leagues are gearing up for drafts already so I've tried to include plenty of rookie linkage lately - here's another one from Dynasty League Football that follows an in progress 2011 Rookie Draft.

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

2010 Week 2 consensus start/sit

Greetings and happy weekend. I've got this week's consensus start/sit for you which is a tally of all the start/sit votes that players received in the various start/sit articles that I linked to earlier in the week.

Note: the players are listed in no particular order. QB Start: Michael Vick, Kyle Orton, Matt Ryan, Jason Campbell Sit: David Garrard, Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Vince Young, Carson Palmer RB Start: LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jackson Sit: Tim Hightower, C.J.

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
