Kaeding in 25mph winds? I don't know if I'd be so confident.

Marty - great point, thanks. The sites I pulled this consensus from may well have made their choices before knowing very much about the weather. Thanks for pointing that out!

Anon, by C. Johnson do you mean Calvin or Chad? I definitely like Driver better than Chad but think I'd probably stick with Calvin over Driver. Sure, the Indy D is tough but Calvin is essentially their only option and they will probably find a way to get him the ball. That said, Driver is probably a guarantee for at least 40 yards but maybe not a whole lot more - if you'd rather take that guarantee of at least some yards, then go with Driver.

Redpalmetto, I think I'd go with Carlson (love the matchup) and Morris, again great matchup and I worry about how many carries Dunn is losing to Caddy. While Morris might be splitting runs in NE as well, against Oakland I think you can have an awesome game even as one of several backs.

Good luck!

Thanks! Good advice and I needed a push. I'm also going with Roddy White, Reggie Wayne, L. Tomlinson and A. Rodgers.....L. Moore let me down on Tuesday and now I feel like I should have started D. Bess (don't want to take out White or Wayne for him, however); but I'm still hoping I'll pull out a playoff victory to get into the finals next week.

Coach,

I like Romo this weekend. T.O. and Witten have a lot of motivation to get open and catch anything within reach. Romo will have to throw at least 40 times - if his o-line gives him time, I think he has a big game.

And go with SJax and Purple Jesus.

Coach Tait, I'd go with SJax and Peterson. Those three are really close together in my mind though, you're right, what a tough one! I've scoped out the FFNerd, AccuScore and The Huddle and I think everyone has them really closely ranked together, so if your gut says to start Slaton, go for it. I'm guessing though that SJax and Peterson are going to be the better starts ultimately.

As for Mare and Brown (Josh, right?), I buy in on Mare but am not sure I'd have him in front of guys like Kasay, Gostkowski, Carpenter, Vinatieri and Elam. I don't really like Josh Brown this week - haven't been very big on him all season really. Kickers are such a hard position to predict though - who knows how they'll pan out this week. Hope that helps!

FFL - Thanks for the weekly advice...it's definitely been helpful. The one guy that keeps me scratching my head is Cassel. When I play him (based on research), he flops. When I sit him, he comes up with big numbers. Is he just a hit-or-miss player, or am I missing something?

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...
