Week 2 consensus start/sit

Here is your list of Week 2 consensus start/sit suggestions. For those new to this feature, each week I go through the start/sit articles that are linked here on the blog and tally up the number of start or sit votes that each player gets. Take a look at this list to help aid in some last minute lineup decisions - note that players are listed in no particular order.

QB
Start: Rex Grossman, Matt Schaub, Matthew Stafford, Ben Roethlisberger, Jay Cutler
Sit: Matt Cassel, Cam Newton (absolutely everyone wants you to sit Newton), Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb

RB
Start: Peyton Hillis, Cedric Benson, James Starks
Sit: DeAngelo Williams, Mark Ingram, Marshawn Lynch, Maurice Jones-Drew, Chris Johnson, Knowshon Moreno

WR
Start: Santonio Holmes, Santana Moss, Mario Manningham, Robert Meachem
Sit: Chad Ochocinco, Mike Thomas, Dwayne Bowe, Steve Smith CAR (though he also had several "start" votes, so really take your pick; this one could really go either way)

TE
Start: Owen Daniels, Brandon Pettigrew, Aaron Hernandez

Sit: Zach Miller, Scott Chandler, Chris Cooley

DST
Start: Lions, Steelers, Bucs
Sit: Chargers, Falcons, Chiefs, Bears, 49ers

Don't know why everyone is so down on Cam Newton. They should be playing from behind just like New Orleans. If they think he's so great, why not start him? I'd start him over Big Ben, Flacco, Bradford, Ryan, pretty much anyone not in the top 6-7 QBs.

This just goes to show how stubborn some people can be that they're willing to throw out all reason before they admit they were wrong. GB got exposed last week. Brees is good but that is still supposed to be an NFL defense. Cam Newton showed that he's for real or at least not the same QB Carolina had these past years. Put two and two together and you have another good week from the rookie QB. They need to stop hating on the guy.

Question... is it necessary to have kickers on there? Kickers are like roulette but it's possible that there is some correlation to a team being able to score and a kicker kicking the ball.

Beside that I feel you could probably spend your analysis time thinking about something else. =)

Thoughts?

I dont know: A kicker on a good offense with a good matchup is going to be a better bet than if he was facing a bad matchup. And that same kicker would get even better if he was playing in good weather. And he'd be better still if he was playing in a dome.

Yeah, a kicker just seems like one of those things that are just part of the game. Like Individual Defensive Players in some leagues: you're not entirely sure how much one guy will do, but if the matchup is good for a good Defense against a weak offense, you gotta go for it.

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
