Fantasy football reawakening

I need to reawaken the fantasy football beast within me. Yup, that's right, the beast. For whatever reason, I've been slow to get going this season and have few excuses other than a case of the May Travel Bug (seriously, every year we seem to be out of town for at least 3 weekends in May; what's up with the month of May?). We've been all around the south and up to Ohio, spending time with family and old friends. Things I've learned recently include the following: 1) The older I get, the less I dance at weddings. This is a shame. 2) 6 hours in the car with a toddler can be about as fun as it sounds. 3) But an inaugural trip to the aquarium with that same little dude can be so awesome. Loved watching him take it all in, calling out, "fish! fish!" 4) In preparing for the fantasy football season, personally I feel far more at ease coming up with busts rather than sleepers in the fantasy football world. Stay tuned on that last nugget in the next few weeks as I may have more to report on in the sleeper/bust realm.

But for now, there's plenty to link you out to now that OTAs have begun and June has arrived. Time to crank it up into high gear my friends. If there's anything you're looking for in particular, send me an e-mail and I promise to eventually read and respond. Even if it takes a few weeks. Or even longer (hey, at least I'm cringing as I type that).

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...

Guest post: WRs with a stellar SOS

Greetings, FFers and welcome to the start of a long weekend. To celebrate I have two posts for you today. Later in the day I'll have some links to get you through the weekend but first up, I thought I'd post a little something new to FFLibrarian. This summer I'll be rolling out a series of articles from Cris who has his own site that I've linked to several times since last fall - it's definitely a bit of a departure from my usual linking here on FFLibrarian so I'd love your feedback. Feel free to leave comments for either Cris or me in the comments section or via e-mail . Below you'll see an excerpt from his recommendations for wide receivers that you might want to consider based on a strength of schedule (SOS) that is his combination of fantasy points against, average draft position, and yards per attempt. Note the special emphasis here on the fantasy playoffs, Weeks 14-16. If you'd like to read the rest of Cris' rankings for team wide receivers,...
