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

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
