Monday morning fantasy links

This is the time of year when dormant fantasy football sites start to come alive again - love it. So let's get right to today's links as I feel like there's a lot to cover this morning...
  • FantasyFanPlay.com takes a look at nearly 20 second-year players in their Sophomore Breakouts article - take a look to see which players they think are set for a solid 2010.
  • If it's really rookies that you're interested in, no problem - most sites have some ideas on which rooks to pay attention to this season, including Fantasy Phenoms with 2 different articles - a dissection of AFC teams and NFC teams.
  • Staying with the theme of rookie analysis, Razzball is brings us some thoughts on the Top 10 IDP Rookie Linebackers.
  • FFToolbox is taking a look at something very near and dear to my heart: Offensive Line Research and Analysis. You can play around with their spreadsheet for whatever your o-line needs might be or click on a team name for more details. I'll be writing up some thoughts on o-lines in Rotoworld's draft magazine again this season so I of course love this kind of research. 
  • Speaking of Rotoworld and their magazine, take a look at Pancake Blocks to see some how the Rotoworld experts agree or disagree with some of their positional rankings this year. The full rankings will be available once the mag is out next month, but Evan Silva does a great job of highlighting some of the more interesting players that they agree/disagree about this year.
  • Football Jabber links over to ESPN's preseason power rankings for the 2010 season and tosses in a few thoughts of his own on the rankings.
  • Last year I was convinced that Michael Turner could beat the 370 Curse and prove to be a top back...I wasn't exactly oh, right let's say on that one. But I am hearing great news about Turner the Burner again and have to admit I'm getting kind of psyched about his 2010 potential. Note that he is appearing leaner and in great shape post-ankle injury. Am I getting overly excited about him again this year or are you guys with me on Turner?
Finally, just wanted to say a quick thanks for all of the many comments and e-mails I received from you all congratulating us on our baby-to-be. I really appreciate it - you guys are awesome!

You're not alone on Turner. I'm targeting him for my drafts cause I think he'll be downgraded a little just based on his 2009 performance and end of season stats. Let's not forget that he had one of the most difficult schedules last year. I think he's going to bounce back in a big way this year!

agreed on Turner. just watching him last year (pre-injury obviously) tear up D's was enough to convince me for this coming year. improved ATL team overall and no competition for touches. amazing talent in pass game only helps. Turner will be golden.
and his legs are gigantic.

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
