Tuesday Fantasy Updates

Fantasy football draft kits and cheat sheets are exploding all over the web. I just printed out my 48-page Bruno Boys Pre-Draft Webazine and am looking forward to reviewing it. Stat. And then recycling the small tree of paper - this thing is beefy.

Over dinner last night, my husband and I were discussing the merits of drafting Daunte Culpepper in the very late rounds. I'll spare you our conversation as it probably wasn't nearly as concise or enlightening as the nice review of Daunte Culpepper done byTJI Fantasy Sports. TJI (short for This Just In) also has somewhat lengthy blogs on where to draft Reggie Bush and GB's Brandon Jackson. I like the attention to individual players that TJI provides - it's nice to see a few paragraphs about a player you could potentially draft for the season rather than just a few sentences.

Take a look at this week's NBC Sports Fantasy Fix video for a review of which round to draft some interesting players like Cadillac Williams, Deuce McAllister, and Randy Moss. Gregg Rosenthal and Tiffany Simons have been hosting the Fantasy Fix segment for quite some time now and I say getting fantasy football info by video is certainly a welcome change of pace.

Earlier this week, Aaron posted a comment asking how accurate the experts that I noted in my Average Ranking Positions post were in 2006 - did the 2006 rankings compare to fantasy point totals at the end of the season? I have been fairly successful in finding the 2006 rankings from those same experts and am going to compare their rankings from a year ago to the 2006 fantasy point totals - I should be posting that blog by Wednesday afternoon, I hope, so stay tuned.

Thanks for the publicity and the compliments. Glad you liked my posts. There's a new one up that you might not enjoy as much--a critique of Travis Henry. I'm curious about the response a Broncos fan would have. Let me know.

I'm sure you get asked this thousands of times, but do you know if there's a librarian fantasy football league out there to join?
Hi Eric,
In response to your comment about finding a librarian fantasy football league out there, I recommend you check out this blog: http://researchquest.blogspot.com/2007/07/national-librarian-sport-declared.html. I referenced it in one of my posts in July and the librarian of that blog, Paul, then left me a comment asking if I was interested in playing in his librarian FF league. Unfortunately I think my head might explode if I participate in another league, so I can't give you the details about it but it might be worth contacting him. Hope that helps!

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

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
