It'd be nice if the updates had arrows indicating movement or if you put the players previous ranking in parenthesis. Thanks!

Thanks Scott! Good luck in the Yahoo Friends and Family league. I thought you had a strong draft, particularly getting Peyton in round three. Good to see a fantasy writer actually sticking to his own advice (e.g. Maroney). Does anyone ever go "back in time" to compare how fantasy writers did in their rankings? That would be interesting and validating for those who are actually good at their craft. Personally, I think several of the fantasy writers at ESPN and SI would not have jobs if held accountable this way!

Is there any way you can add their bye weeks and team they are on before Friday?
