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.

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
