Noah Herron as GB's RB...wait, who?

That's right, Noah Herron. There's a little love for my fellow Northwestern alum in an article today from CBS Sportsline, Overlooked Herron could play more prominent role with Packers. I think we're all well aware that Northwestern is hardly a football powerhouse so I'm always really pleased to see my NU guys performing well in the NFL. Who else is from Northwestern, you ask? Luis Castillo, Napoleon Harris, and a handful of other talented, mostly defense-oriented guys. [photo: Rusty Kennedy, AP]

A Fanball.com blog post, NFL projections are meaningless, zeroes in on the fact that perhaps any stat projections for the 2007 season should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm curious as to how many people rely upon stat projections versus general cheat sheets/rankings? Personally, I'm way more inclined to look at cheat sheets than straight up stat projections but maybe that's just me?

And in case you wanted another free draft kit, look no further than Ask The Commish who just published their version 1.00 Free Fantasy Football Draft Kit. May the "version 1.00" be a clue to you that this may be updated before your draft day rolls around. Remember how important those updates are and don't be that guy/chick who drafts with misinformation.
Enjoy the weekend and its pre-season shenanigans, my fellow fantasy football fans.

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...

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...
