Post-Super Bowl linkage

Oh it has been a long time, my fantasy football friends. I think I might have been blogging throughout the 2010 season purely on adrenaline - as loyal readers surely noticed, when the season ended my blogging here absolutely collapsed. While it did coincide with my return to work and getting our son set up in day care, it has also just been a much-needed time for refueling.

First, before I get a whole deeper into today's post, I hope everyone enjoyed their Super Bowl Sunday, one of my favorite days of the year. A hearty congrats to Packers fans out there - job well done.

I owe you all a lot of thoughts on the annual accuracy contest, which are still forthcoming. Truth be told, the files for the analysis all live on my husband's laptop, which was unexpectedly stuck along with him in the midwest for several days last week during the ice/snow storm that completely ravaged his travel plans. Instead of a quick 36-hour trip, my husband was gone for 4 days and I have an even greater respect for single parents now. Four days alone with a 4-month-old, followed by a weekend of said baby battling his first cold and I'm basically a shell of my former self. Yesterday I was contemplating a George Costanza sleep-under-my-desk-at-work move but I don't think I have enough privacy for that one. So when I recover from this whirlwind week, I'll be sure to get more details your way. I hope to include the 2010 results in the aggregate analysis I've done to bring you a multi-year analysis by the end of February...in reality, that probably means you should look for it in March.

Now onto a few links...
  • KFFL.com is jumping into the 2011 NFL Draft prediction season with their 2011 NFL Mock Draft. Note, this isn't a fantasy mock draft but you'd be wise to stay hip to the actual draft particularly if you're in a keeper league of course. 
  • More NFL mock drafts from FFToolbox.com - they have a ton that are constantly being updated but I'll link you to their latest from Ben Standig. Or try The Hazean's 2011 NFL Mock Draft: Version 1.0.
  • More NFL stuff you really need to pay attention to? The talks between the players union and the NFL. Read up on the latest with the Fifth Down's look at Goddell's report at the Super Bowl.
  • Finally, I love offensive line analysis. Pretty much any article that looks at how offensive line play impacts fantasy football has me hook, line and sinker. So ProFootballFocus.com's Fantasy: Does Offensive Line Play Impact a Running Back's Performance? caught my attention. Read the articles for the details but I just find it hard to believe that o-line play really and truly has no impact on an RB's production. The study looked at 2008-2010 numbers in this analysis and I guess I'd be interested in whether or not this holds for a larger data set.

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...
