Consensus start/sit list, Week 12

Greetings and sorry for the late consensus start/sit post. Things got crazy here with Thanksgiving travel and our return home to an unwelcome surprise (more on that tomorrow), but better late than never! As a reminder, I've tallied up the players with the most start/sit votes from the start/sit links I posted earlier this week as well as a few others that I read this morning, and have listed those players below (in no particular order). Note that I've avoided listing any players that already played on Thanksgiving.

QB
Start: Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Cassel, Brett Favre
Sit: Jay Cutler, David Garrard

RB
Start: Brandon Jacobs, Mike Tolbert, Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles
Sit: Brandon Jackson, Beanie Wells, Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson

WR
Start: Mario Manningham, Nate Washington, Sidney Rice, Vincent Jackson, Steve Johnson
Sit: Johnny Knox, Randy Moss, Anquan Boldin, Hines Ward, Jeremy Maclin

TE
Start: Joel Dreessen, Heath Miller, Jacob Tamme, Kevin Boss
Sit: Kellen Winslow, Zach Miller, Marcedes Lewis

DST
Start: Browns, Raiders
Sit: Falcons

K
Start: Neil Rackers, Matt Prater
Sit: no consensus

Good luck and hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

You need some new people picking these. The last few weeks' picks have been terrible and not worthy of publication.

The game of fantasy football is chaotic and wildly unpredictable. The fact that half of these are right and half are wrong is about normal I'd say.

The bottom line is AND ALWAYS IS, use the experts as a guideline. If your gut is telling you something else, go with it. If you are simply setting your line-up according to the whims of others, well where is the fun in that?

You missed the point.
I wouldn't rely on others.
I pick my own.
But, these are so bad, monkees could do better throwing darts and get more correct.
The fact that this is a consensus sit/start list and there are more wrong than right is not normal. It's putrid.

Anonymous -- you are a spineless drone.

You are like the Ephesians who cast out Hermodorus saying that none shall be greater than the rest.

You will never truly understand the power of #B3@STM0D3.

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...

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,...
