Consensus Start/Sit Picks for Week 11

Happy Friday and here are your consensus start/sits for Week 11. As noted before, I go through all the start or sit sites that I linked to yesterday and today (see below) and find the most common start or sit players for each position. Use this as a guide of course since everyone's lineup is different.

So first, here are some more start/sit sites that have gone up since yesterday:

And onto the consensus picks:

  • QB
    • Start: Kurt Warner, Matt Schaub, Eli Manning, Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger
    • Sit: JP Losman, Philip Rivers, Jay Cutler

I'm trying to decide:
RB, need 2: C Taylor, Ed James, J Chatmen, Sel Young
WR, need 2: L Evans, R Brown, M Harrison, D Bennett
TE: Daniels or Watson
QB: Kitna or Schaub?

thanks
For RBs, I'd go with Chester Taylor and the Edge. WRs are trickier - I doubt Marvin Harrison will be ready to go this week so I'd start Evans and Bennett, I think. That's a tough one but I think it's more likely that the Rams will be throwing it than that the Eagles will be throwing it...other thoughts?
For TE, I'd go with Watson (though Daniels will have a decent week as well) and for QB I'd go with Schaub.

Good luck!

Need to start one and we do count return ydg.

B.Berrian
D.Branch
T. Ginn

Thanks !
I'd go with Berrian and Ginn, I think. I'd like to see Branch perform before endorsing him quite yet...and Ginn's return yardage is pretty good.

thanks for the advice. I used all of it except for the WRs (which didn't really matter), but because of which I ended up with the high score in my league this week. thanks.
Wow, thanks for sharing that feedback with me, Brian. I'm quite pleased to hear you ended up as the high scorer!

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...

2014 Average Position Rankings spreadsheet

Friends, I've got a first draft of the 2014 Average Position Rankings spreadsheet up here as a google doc. If you're new to this annual spreadsheet or need a refresher, here's the scoop. I take the top 200 or so overall rankings that are freely offered by a handful of sites and I average out their rankings for each player. I also take the standard deviation to see how a player's rankings differ among experts, and add that in as another component to give you a sense of how much consensus there is on a player. I drew from the following sites this year: FFToolbox, CBSSports.com (both Jamey and Dave), ESPN, FFCalc's ADP, The Fake Football, The Football Girl, NFL.com, DavidGonos.com, SI, Yahoo, FantasyPros.com, and RealTime Fantasy Sports. All offered roughly a top 200 overall ranking and you can see each site's ranking (gathered 8/20/14) in the second tab on the spreadsheet. You'll see that I really haven't fleshed it out a ton yet - I still have to ge...
