Pre-holiday weekend linkage

It has taken most of the month of May, but we have finally agreed to a price on our new home in Knoxville and we're all set to close in 6 weeks or so. Exciting times here in the FFLibrarian household and now I'm bracing myself for our third move in as many years. So between the big move this summer and the 2011 season (hopefully) gearing up, there's lots going on in my world. But I've also got plans to bring you all updated results on my aggregate accuracy analysis with the 2010 results incorporated at some point during the month of June - read up on last year's multi-year accuracy results here.

But for now, let's get to the latest FF analysis:
  • Earlier this week we looked at several mock drafts and Roto Experts' Pink Zone Coverage takes a look at some mock results with a focus on the top 10, and then a handful of players that aren't worth their current ADP (average draft position) due to the risk they bring along.
  • Speaking of ADP analysis, FantasyFootball.com will make many an IDPer happy with their IDP Analysis: IDP ADP. Read up on some solid LB, DL, and DB bargains.
  • FFToolbox.com keeps rolling with their position twosome suggestions, this time with a look at some Running Back By Committee ideas in case you miss out on a top 10 RB and need a nice one-two punch that you can rotate through all season long. More love for Daniel Thomas here than I was expecting.
  • Eli Manning certainly isn't the kind of QB that fantasy owners aim to acquire. Perhaps he should be? Read why The Fantasy Shrink is seeing a lot of upside for Eli this year in The always underrated Eli Manning.
  • Rotoworld's 4th and final article in their 2011 Offseason Market Analysis is up for your review - check out their thoughts on the Tight End Market. Find links to the other offensive skill positions at the top of the article.
Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

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...
