Who would you start at 2nd RB and Flex? Standard scoring, but 2 pts per 10 over 100 yds
M Barber, P Thomas, Q Ganther, T Hightower or Maroney
Flex - All of the above plus Garrard and Hassleback
Thanks to all that answer
Thx for putting this together Ms. Librarian!
Question: Has anyone ever gone back and rated how the consensus sit/starts have done? In other words, how many of the consensus sits were actually correct, incorrect, or maybe somewhere in between - same thing for the starts.
If I had to guess, I'd say they didn't have a fantastic record, but since you've been doing this for the past few years, we should have solid data at this point.
AHHH! FFL you are my hero. Your consensus Start/Sit confirmed my thoughts. I have Kevin Smith and Quinton Gaither. I wasn't sure who to start. Was planning on starting QG, but was nervous about starting a virtual unknown, but the Baltimore D scares me with a nicked up Smith.

Hi Anon - I'd go with Thomas as your RB2...flex I think you have to go with a QB. Do they get that 2 pts per 10 over 100 yards for their passing yards? If so, I think you've gotta go QB and I'd lean towards Hasselbeck.
Todd - I have thought about this a lot, how "right" is the consensus each week? But I have had a hard time determining what could be concerned a successful start. A certain number of fantasy points? Ultimately I'd love to look at this but just haven't really wrapped my mind around the best way to do the analysis.
Needing a Victory in Arlington - always glad to help. Good luck with Ganther!
Oh, I'd say some simple mean/median/range figures should suffice. I could do the analysis, no problem - I work as a data analyst & statistician. The hard part for me would be the data collection, tying historical numbers for the appropriate player/week, all in a "computer-ready" format, like in a spreadsheet or something where each row represented a player, week, whether it was a sit or a start, and the stats for that player in that week.
Fortunately, I notice you've tagged them over the past couple years, so it would be easy to isolate those posts. But it seems like a mostly manual effort to put the data together into a usable format.
