2010 Average Rankings Position Spreadsheet


It's time for the 2010 Average Rankings Position spreadsheet! I snagged the latest Top 100 rankings from 9 different websites and they're updated as of this evening, August 11th. I'll be conducting an update at the end of August for those of you who have drafts at the end of the month. The sites I looked at all provide their rankings for free on their sites and they include: Ask the Commish, CBSSports.com (note: CBSSports.com is providing 2 different sets of rankings this year), ESPN, FFToolbox, FOX Sports, KFFL, NFL.com, SI, and Yahoo.

A few things to note about the spreadsheet:
  • This is just an average of Top 100 players. I'll try and update the spreadsheet this weekend to reflect the ranking within position as well, so look for that update in the Google Docs version of the spreadsheet in the next few days.
  • I tried to ensure that the experts all used the same scoring system (non-PPR) but many sites didn't note their scoring system at all.
  • I pulled all of these rankings within the span of an hour or two so that they represent rankings from the same time period/news/injury updates, etc.
  • As in the past several years, I assigned a ranking of 125 to any player that wasn't ranked in the Top 100 by a site. For example, several sites did not rank Vincent Jackson within their Top 100 players, so I gave Jackson a ranking of 125 from those sites to try and represent that missing rank.
  • I've included the standard deviation of each player's ranking so that you can get an idea of how much consensus there was on a player's ranking across the 10 experts. So the lower the standard deviation, the more of a consensus there is on the ranking for that player. I added the standard deviation to the average ranking position to create one number to represent both a player's ranking and the level of agreement on that ranking. I find this pretty interesting in and of itself, but it could be particularly useful for players that are a bit deeper in the Top 100. 
  • With my late August update, I'll try to incorporate the bye weeks for each player if that's of interest to everyone - just ran out of time tonight and wanted to get this posted for you all ASAP!
To view the full average rankings, see the Google Docs version or send me an e-mail and I'll shoot over an excel version your way. But here are the top overall 30 players across all positions for the 2010 season according to the average from 10 experts (9 sites):

I appreciate what you are doing with your blog. Being new to fantasy football (but a lifer NFL fan), I was unaware just how much information there is on the topic.

Visiting a site like this that tries to makes sense of the many opinions is helpful.

Keep up the good work.

Hello,

I noticed your website while surfing around on the internet and I think it's a very informative FF website.

Wanted to know if you would be interested in exchanging links with our website fantasy-info.com.

Best of luck in the future,

Any way to get a PPR spreadsheet? Thx

I like the rankings! Do you take a culmination of a bunch of rankings and put those results into your own formula?

I'll refer others to this blog so keep it fresh!!

Enjoy the pre-season hype!

You can select to combine all experts or just the experts you want. We also have separate rankings for PPR.

We'd love any feedback that you have!

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

2010 Week 2 consensus start/sit

Greetings and happy weekend. I've got this week's consensus start/sit for you which is a tally of all the start/sit votes that players received in the various start/sit articles that I linked to earlier in the week. So while these aren't my personal recommendations, I do think knowing what the consensus is could be of help when making lineup decisions...so enjoy! Note: the players are listed in no particular order. QB Start: Michael Vick, Kyle Orton, Matt Ryan, Jason Campbell Sit: David Garrard, Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Vince Young, Carson Palmer RB Start: LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jackson Sit: Tim Hightower, C.J. Spiller, Beanie Wells, Ronnie Brown WR Start: Santana Moss, Legedu Naanee, Malcolm Floyd, Mike Williams (TB), Dez Bryant Sit: Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree TE Start: Chris Cooley, Todd Heap, John Carlson, Jermichael Finley Sit: Jermaine Gresham, Owen Daniels, Tony Scheffler, Jeremy Shockey, Bo Scaife Kicker Start: La

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
