Trent Green, Mock Drafts, and the Stellar Foot of Mason Crosby

It's official. Fantasy Football 2007 is near. This morning the commish of two of my leagues sent out the "click here to join the league" e-mail and I'm so ready. Let the domination begin. The following are a random assortment of fantasy items that caught my attention.

1. The rest of Fabiano's offseason review is here - NFC North, NFC South, NFC West. For the other reviews, check out this earlier Fantasy Football Librarian blog posting.

2. Still wondering about the fantasy implications of Trent Green moving to Miami - read on with Fanball.com's Greener Pastures.

3. Or maybe you're wondering how your draft would go if today was Draft Day? Check out The Huddle's Mock Draft #2.

4. Ahh the kicker. I have won and lost match-ups thanks to the freakin' kicker...so here you have it, the 2007 fantasy kicker rankings from ProFantasySports.com. As a Boulder girl, I'd like to point out the awesomeness of Mason Crosby [photo: CU Athletics Dept]. This man is amazing at what he does. Last year I went to the annual Univ of Colorado/Colorado State Univ game at Invesco Field. The best part of the game? Watching Mason Crosby kick a 61-yarder like he'd done it a million times (probably had) was a spectacular thing. Technically, that FG didn't count since CSU apparently called a time out pre-snap; when Crosby attempted the kick again, it missed to the left. But this man is amazing and will be taking over at Green Bay this fall.

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...
