I just spent the weekend with family in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, which is kind of a fascinating meld of hardcore hiking enthusiasts and those who can't get enough of Ripley's Believe it or Not. And fudge shops. Oh the plethora of fudge shops was impressive...only to be outdone by the number of pancake restaurants. It was great to have a respite from the normal world (not great cell reception most of the time) and fun to go on some slow hikes with our son in the Smokies. Let's just say that an almost-3-year-old and a very pregnant lady don't move very quickly...
So now that week 1 of the preseason is in the books, seems like the analysis can truly begin! Here are a few helpful links for the start of the week:
- Preseason week 1 recaps:
- The Huddle's Targets, Touches Throws: Pre-season Week 1
- Juan Elway's The Fantasy Elevator: 1st Week of Preseason (whose value is going up or down)
- Some interesting stuff here from Championship Fantasy Football - they've put together a free draft day spreadsheet tool based on VBD (value based drafting) fueled by projections from ESPN, NFL.com and CBSSports.com. Lots of customization available here. You can view their video on how to use their VBD tool first if you want to see what it's all about first.
- I'm a big fan of Pat Fitzmaurice who has moved to The Football Girl (might remember him from ProFootballWeekly) and is now posting his fantasy wisdom there at Fitz on Fantasy. For those looking to tweak their game a bit, check out his recent article on draft strategy: Drafting Tactics from a Bird's-Eye Perspective.
- RealTime Fantasy Sports has a free draft guide up and available - rankings, sleepers, busts, IDP, team outlooks, all that good stuff can be found here.
- Another great pit stop in your draft prep is Fantasy Football Nerd who has been compiling consensus rankings for years, pulling from 27 experts this year. Note that only the top players are available for free, otherwise premium membership is required for their other tiers, rankings, projections, and Draft Buddy tool.

Agree on fantasypros. Been taking your aggregate rankings and editing experts. Thank you for years of your expertise. I never lose.
I use FantasyPros regularly and given all you have on your "to do" list at the beginning of the season, I think this is a more than adequate resource.
Sara, I have to admit that I am a little sad and frightened by your threat that you will not create an aggregate rankings spreadsheet this year. I fully credit your 2012 list for my first- and second-place finishes in each of my FF leagues last year. So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for last year!! However, as others have noted, your plate seems pretty full nowadays and I suppose I can make due with the FantasyPros data... ;-) Thanks for all the FF info you compile and good luck the next few weeks.
Can you point us to some of the better experts (by that I mean experts with the better track record since any expert is making his/her best prediction) so we can edit them in to the Fantasy Pros spreadsheet?
Thanks for all you do for us. Librarians rock! and the FF Librarian rocks the Best!

I've come to rely on your aggregate spreadsheet as my go to guide for the draft. But, family always comes first. I'm going to FantasyPros and praying for a safe delivery for you.
Glad to know you're one who goes to Gatlinburg and actually gets into the mountains. I worry about those folks that just make the rounds of the music shows and buffets.
Hey Sara,
I've emailed you before letting you know how great your spreadsheet is. If you find the time to put it together I'm sure your fans will be very happy. I know I will be.
I would also love to utilize your spreadsheet again this year if possible!
thanks for sharing it. i really like it. always suckses.
