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...

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.

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...
