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

Sit: Kellen Winslow, Zach Miller, Marcedes Lewis
DST

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?
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.
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.
