Week 5 Consensus Start/Sit

Hi all - again, another brief post. I'm in Portland and getting ready to drink a little Stumptown Coffee on my way to the great Powell's bookstore. It's a bookworm's dream. But first, football.

Here are the consensus start or sit picks based on advice from 12 different experts that I linked to in my blog this week - these are the players with the most start or sit votes from the experts.

QB
Start: Jay Cutler, Philip Rivers, Brian Griese, Peyton Manning, Kyle Orton, Jake Delhomme
Sit: Matt Schaub, J.T. O'Sullivan, Kerry Collins

RB
Start: Steve Slaton, Matt, Forte, Earnest Graham, Ryan Grant, Michael Turner, Jonathan Stewart
Sit: LenDale White, Rudi Johnson, Julius Jones, Fred Taylor

WR
Start: Calvin Johnson, Chris Chambers, Greg Jennings, Lance Moore, Bernard Berrian, Randy Moss
Sit: Dwayne Bowe, Isaac Bruce - there was very little consensus on these guys in general...

TE
Start: Anthony Fasano, Chris Cooley, Greg Olsen
Sit: John Carlson, Todd Heap, Alge Crumpler

Kicker
Start: Jason Elam, Matt Bryant, John Kasay, Kris Brown
Sit: Matt Stover, Joe Nedney

D/ST
Start: Jags, Panthers
Sit: Redskins, Seahawks, Texans, Bucs

I need to start two Wide-Receivers from these three. Who would you pick out of:

Steve Smith (CAR), Andre Johnson, Lance Moore

Steve Smith is a lock for sure, but Andre Johnson over Lance Moore? I'm not sure... :(

hi rushi, I would start smith and johnson even though there's a solid chance that Moore will put up better numbers than Johnson. I think you've just got to stay with Andre for a little while longer...though that might just be naive...:)
Good luck...

ah, i would qualify as a FF klutz. I benched Andre Johnson because Scahub isn't playing... and guess what.. 100 yards and a TD already for AJ.

I start Jonathan Stwart for the first time today after 4 weeks on the bench and DeAngelo Williams has 3 TDs

Another TD from either of them, and im going Hulk-angry.

Lesson of the day: Never drop your stud players (See AJ above)
They will start scoring when you least expect it. ex: Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Housh

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...

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...

Guest post: WRs with a stellar SOS

Greetings, FFers and welcome to the start of a long weekend. To celebrate I have two posts for you today. Later in the day I'll have some links to get you through the weekend but first up, I thought I'd post a little something new to FFLibrarian. This summer I'll be rolling out a series of articles from Cris who has his own site that I've linked to several times since last fall - it's definitely a bit of a departure from my usual linking here on FFLibrarian so I'd love your feedback. Feel free to leave comments for either Cris or me in the comments section or via e-mail . Below you'll see an excerpt from his recommendations for wide receivers that you might want to consider based on a strength of schedule (SOS) that is his combination of fantasy points against, average draft position, and yards per attempt. Note the special emphasis here on the fantasy playoffs, Weeks 14-16. If you'd like to read the rest of Cris' rankings for team wide receivers,...
