Week 1 rankings and start/sits

It's going down tonight, friends. As a Bronco fan, I am so ready for tonight's game. Am trying to rally the troops in our house to get the Broncos energy/hype up high, but honestly the most exciting thing that happened in our house today (so far!) is that I came to eat lunch with my kindergartener in his cafeteria. This is kind of a big deal. It also occurred at 10:30 AM, which is amusing. Per the class rules, my son was allowed to pick 1 friend to eat with us and I watched as he approached a new friend and asked if he wanted to have lunch together. Guys, this kid hardly even responded. Just shook his head and my poor boy asked again, receiving a firmer rejection this time. Oh the daggers I sent into the back of that kid's head. Oh man. The next boy he asked practically fell out of his seat with excitement to eat with us, so I'd like to think things have evened out in the friend universe, but I shall not forget you, first kid. That image of my son's crestfallen face is imprinted on my memory. Here's hoping the first kid redeems himself since he is, after all, only 5 or 6 years old and hardly capable of making the kindest decisions...but do not scorn my kid in my presence. Ever. I will notice and remember with the force of a fierce motherly elephant brain. 

And perhaps the Panthers will be filled with some ferocity tonight, never forgetting Super Bowl 50. Or maybe you need a little fantasy redemption and want to show your league your total domination with a magnificent Week 1 performance. If so, I'm here to help with a bevy of links below.

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...
