Consensus start and sit picks for Week 8

As I mentioned yesterday, I wanted to try something new this week - a start/sit digest of sorts where I give you the most popular starts and sits across the board. I'm basing this off of the start and sit sites that I linked to yesterday as well as a few more that went up in the past 24 hours or so. So first, let's take a look at some of the new start or bench sites that have gone up since my post yesterday:
And now the start/bench consensus picks from the experts for Week 8...
  • QB
    • Start: Brian Griese, McNabb and Bulger
    • Sit: Jason Campbell, the Carolina QB, Kitna and Favre
  • RB
    • Start: Marshawn Lynch, Brandon Jacobs and LenDale White
    • Sit: Kenny Watson/Rudi Johnson duo, Laurence Maroney and Ahman Green
  • WR
    • Start: Santonio Holmes, Kevin Curtis, Bernard Berrian, and Lee Evans
    • Sit: Santana Moss, Ike Hilliard, and Donald Driver
  • TE
    • Start: Donald Lee, Tony Scheffler, Heath Miller, and Jeremy Shockey
    • Sit: Chris Cooley, Vernon Davis, and Jeff King
  • Kicker
    • Start: Dawson, Tynes and Bironas
    • Sit: these were across the board but there was some consensus on sitting Kasay, Feely, Suisham, Hanson, Graham, and Janikowski
  • Defense/ST
    • Start: Giants and Bucs with Colts, Eagles, and Chargers also getting multiple votes
    • Sit: Redskins, Texans, and Panthers
Later this afternoon I'll pull together my Friday IDP Forecast so check back for that info. Good luck this weekend!

I use your website every day of the FFL season to find waiver wire tips, start 'em / sit 'em tips, and general fantasy news. This is an excellent "One-Stop" answer to locating the best resources available on the net.

I also like your new idea for compiling the start 'em lists you read from different sites.

Thanks for the hard work and great site!

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...

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...
