Week 3 Consensus Start/Sit and IDP info

Let's start off this afternoon post with the consensus start/sit picks for Week 3 - I'm basing this off of 15 start/sit sites that I've linked to since Wednesday (either on this blog or on my NY Times piece). In no particular order, here's a list of the players with the most "votes" for start/sit.

QB
Start: Jay Cutler, Brett Favre, J.T. O'Sullivan, Matt Cassel, Drew Brees
Sit: Carson Palmer, Matt Schaub, Derek Anderson, Jason Campbell, David Garrard

RB
Start: Frank Gore, Michael Turner, Maurice Jones-Drew, Julius Jones, Chris Johnson
Sit: Jamal Lewis, Ronnie Brown, Earnest Graham, Ryan Grant, Chris Perry, DeAngelo Williams

WR
Start: Brandon Marshall, Steve Smith, Plaxico Burress, Jerricho Cotchery, Bryant Johnson, Wes Welker
Sit: Santana Moss (had almost an equal number of start votes as well), Dwayne Bowe, Lee Evans, Chad Johnson/OC, Roddy White, Braylon Edwards, Bernard Berrian, Chris Chambers

TE
Start: John Carlson, Tony Scheffler, Jason Witten
Sit: Owen Daniels, Kevin Boss

Kicker
Start: Joe Nedney, Matt Prater
Sit: Robbie Gould, Shayne Graham, Kris Brown

D/ST
Start: Titans, Giants, Bills
Sit: Jags, Packers, Steelers

Now onto IDP advice for the week - by the way, I'm in the market for more IDP links so please post a comment or e-mail me if you've found any sites you like for IDP advice:
And then finally, a link that fits in no one category (perhaps why I love it so): Fantasy Tailgate's Offensive Line Rankings updated for Week 3.

I think you mean Derek Anderson in the QB section...I also think you have to seriously considering anybody in the 49ers/Lions game. Especially Jon Kitna, and Calvin Johnson, who will eat up that secondary of the 49ers...all while their secondary is eaten up.

Thanks for the summary... my Saturday is usually spent cruzing Sit/Start sites.
Well done.

I find it interesting that the Offensive Line rankings in sacks usually correlates to the performance of the RBs on the team. The exception being the 49ers with Frank Gore doing well. That might be more a function of Mad Mike Martz schemes leaving the QB open for hits.

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

2010 Week 2 consensus start/sit

Start/Sit Week 4 and a smattering of rankings

It's been awhile, my fantasy football friends. I have lofty intentions of getting several posts up here each week, but life is busy and I will do my best. So in the intervening 6 years since I've posted regularly on here, our family added another child (now there are 3!), moved back to Boulder for a sabbatical year and then returned to Knoxville, and we have basically been chugging along like many of the rest of you. My two boys (who turn 12 and 9 soon) are in a fantasy football league for the first time this year with their buddies, which ostensibly is the just the dads (and mom!) playing one another of course. But my oldest is taking it super seriously and what kind of Fantasy Football Librarian would I be if I didn't step up my game for him? So I'm back - and am interested in the fantasy landscape - lots of the same awesome sites out there, but many new ones as well. I'll try to incorporate a mix. Please be sure to let me know if my 2006 ways aren't working i
