Finding the awesomeness

I mentioned on here awhile back that our house is under construction and has been now for about 5-6 weeks or so. It has been quite the summer here between the chaos of our house (which has included learning of extensive water and termite damage...sweet, right? I have the termite guy's phone number memorized and our son now starts every morning by asking for the construction crew individually by name) and losing our Caroline. So I'm pretty sure my husband and I have been actively seeking out things that just feel fun and joyful. Earlier this week my brother-in-law called and convinced us to drive down to Atlanta (where he lives) next Monday for the Broncos at Falcons MNF game. We'll go down and back all in the span of 15 hours and my in-laws are happily taking over the care of our son for that time period. I can't tell you how excited I am for this. A road trip with my husband plus a Monday Night Football game watching my Broncos, all while my little boy is being lovingly cared for by family? Awesomeness. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes me happy and therefore exactly the kind of thing I should be doing more of these days. I'll be the one in the Broncos Elam jersey in case you're there. Maybe I should make/wear a FFLibrarian shirt to do a little marketing...

Time for today's links:
Finally, I think I ask this same question more or less every year, but I'd love your feedback on what you find helpful here on this site. Toward the end of the week once waivers have cleared, I typically try and post start/sit links and weekly rankings and/or projections. Is there anything I'm missing or would you like me to focus on one of those more than others?

Oh and don't forget to get your lineups set for the game tonight...

Sounds like you guys have a great trip planned. Personally I don't care the outcome of the game so I'll pull for the Broncos for you. Just gimme a monster game from Julio.

Thanks for the link and good luck in your games this week.

Everything is good. Keep doing what you are doing. I'm still living off of the football daily planner advice from a while ago. Good place to find lots of articles fast.

Keep doing what you do. This is a hidden gem---not telling anyone else in my 16 team league, which includes my two sons!

Appreciate your work!

Welcome back FFLibrarian. I was a little worried there for a couple weeks...until I saw the reason for your hiatus. So sorry to hear that. Good to hear things are getting better. Your readers love you. Take care and keep up the great work.

New to the site and loving it. Provides excellent links to all information you need to know to get your pickups to setting your line-ups. Now if you could only find the site to predict future injuries.... owned Forte in all my leagues :(

I'm so happy your brother convinced your husband to make the trip. Hope you're having a great time reuniting with family and I hope the Broncos give you the win you truly deserve.

As to ideas for your blog: I've been using your blog as my mainstay since your NYT column in your first year, but this is my first year in an IDP league...and I am clueless. I'd like to have links to advice/analysis and rankings/projections late in the week. Thanks if you can do it

Please excuse the echo in here, but keep doing what you do.

Great job, FF Librarian!

My main suggestion is to add any links you are aware of that rank players based on rest-of-season value. Rankings for the current week are all over the internet, but rest-of-season rankings are much rarer and very helpful.

Everything you do is great, but my only suggestion would be to post more updated in-season rankings, not just the weekly ones.

After each week is played it would be nice to know where your players currently rank so you can know if it would be wise to drop someone for a wavier wire player, and gauge potential trades.

thanks!

Love your site....I think the updated rest of season rankings are very very helpful. Also I'm wondering why most of the weekly rankings aren't PPR since I think at this point more leagues than not are PPR.
Thanks

I love your site. I'm with the rest of the commenters. I'm keeping this a secret from every person I play against. I find the waiver wire resources most helpful. Thanks for everything!

I am so sorry Denver lost, but McGahee's epic night gave me the 17 points I needed to take the lead in one of my match ups. I hope you had a wonderful trip! I keep thinking about you and hope you are doing okay.

Start/Sit and Waiver links are always used and appreciated. I always like any information as the season winds down on good keepers. Your site is so fantastic, and like others, I keep you a closely guarded secret.

I think your site is amazing! The one thing that I struggle with is identifying good Tuesday morning pick-ups. What resource can you recommend that will allow me to get a great recap of past week studs in time for 9AM waiver wire Tuesday morning?

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. So while these aren't my personal recommendations, I do think knowing what the consensus is could be of help when making lineup decisions...so enjoy! 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. Spiller, Beanie Wells, Ronnie Brown WR Start: Santana Moss, Legedu Naanee, Malcolm Floyd, Mike Williams (TB), Dez Bryant Sit: Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree TE Start: Chris Cooley, Todd Heap, John Carlson, Jermichael Finley Sit: Jermaine Gresham, Owen Daniels, Tony Scheffler, Jeremy Shockey, Bo Scaife Kicker Start: La

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
