The bad news is I’m way behind on linking to my articles this season. Don’t worry, you haven’t missed anything very geeky. The good news is I’ve developed a new system that will help you set your lineup.

This is like features you’ll find on large league hosts that show you who other people are starting, but this goes a few steps further. For starters, I know these players, and their reputation, among other things, is built into the ranking — Big improvement over “Who Joe Yahoo! Office Leaguer is starting.” It also takes a much deeper look than ridiculous things like “98% of LT owners are starting him.”  You can also click on a name and see who people are putting ahead or behind the player.

I’m working on getting this hosted back at FantasySharks.com in one form or another. Meanwhile, check it out, and let me know what you think!

I’m happy to announce I’ve been tapped for the FantasySharks.com 2008 HAFA-X Team . HAFA-X is an expert dynasty league of teams representing different fantasy sites where rookies are drafted, free agents are auctioned, and salary cap rules similar to the NFL. I’m coming on as the Special Teams Coordinator, which means I’m bringing new analysis and playing with punters. The league also uses kick return yardage, which I think is too often overlooked in fantasy leagues; for the right kind of team, good field position can put points on the board.

The Fantasy Sharks team finished the season in the basement in special teams points, so you can expect to see some analysis on these positions here in the future while I try to find value for my new team and yours.
