Start/Sit Links for Week 17

A belated Merry Christmas to everyone - I've found it really hard to carve out time for a blog update while visiting with family so my apologies for going off the radar for a few days! I've now transitioned from visiting with my family in Virginia down to my husband's family in Tennessee. One of the best parts about being in Tennessee is my unbelievable ability to sleep late here - at least 10 AM every morning. It's glorious. But now we're off to visit grandmothers and such, so I'm hoping to get a quick start/sit list up that I'll try to add to (though a lot of sites have shut down for the season) and do a consensus start/sit for by tomorrow.

Also, I am doing another FFLibrarian's Challenge with NFL.com's Playoff Challenge for the postseason. Stay tuned on that front if you're interested - I should have a group set up by the end of this weekend.

NFL.com's Start 'em Sit 'em
Bruno Boys' Start em & Sit em - Week 17
The Talented Mr. Roto: Love/Hate for Week 17
The Hazean's Start & Sit
CBS Sportsline's Week 17 Start 'em and Sit 'em
ProFantasySports.com's Week 17 Start 'em/Bench 'em Report
Fighting Chance Fantasy's Who to Start, Who to Sit - Week 17
SportingNews.com's The Decider: Week 17 starts and sits

Finally, these aren't start/sit links but here's my weekly column with the Bruno Boys, Week 17 Sneaky Fantasy Options and my wrap-up article where I look at some of my favorite fantasy football resources of the 2008 season for the NY Times' Fifth Down should be up this weekend.

Hope you all are enjoying a great holiday season and best of luck to those who are still battling for the championship!

First, I really enjoy reading your blog; it's always a nice compilation of links. Second, I somehow made it to the championship of my league (this is my first year every playing fantasy football) and I now have a dilemma. I was planning on starting MJD and Pierre Thomas as my two backs. However, they're both a little banged up so I'm not so sure anymore. I also have Cedric Benson and Tashard Choice as options. What do you think I should do?
Hi Eric,
Congrats on making it to the championship game! It doesn't sound good for Thomas' chances of playing this week but MJD's chances do sound substantially better. Question is, will he have a decent showing since Jax has basically packed it in AND he faces the Baltimore run defense? I might go ahead and start Benson ahead of MJD and if Thomas doesn't play, Choice isn't too bad of an option either. Way to have some solid backups coming into Week 17, Eric. Good luck!

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

Greetings and happy weekend. I've got this week's consensus start/sit for you which is a tally of all the start/sit votes that players received in the various start/sit articles that I linked to earlier in the week. So while these aren't my personal recommendations, I do think knowing what the consensus is could be of help when making lineup decisions...so enjoy! Note: the players are listed in no particular order. QB Start: Michael Vick, Kyle Orton, Matt Ryan, Jason Campbell Sit: David Garrard, Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Vince Young, Carson Palmer RB Start: LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jackson Sit: Tim Hightower, C.J. Spiller, Beanie Wells, Ronnie Brown WR Start: Santana Moss, Legedu Naanee, Malcolm Floyd, Mike Williams (TB), Dez Bryant Sit: Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree TE Start: Chris Cooley, Todd Heap, John Carlson, Jermichael Finley Sit: Jermaine Gresham, Owen Daniels, Tony Scheffler, Jeremy Shockey, Bo Scaife Kicker Start: La

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
