The season is winding down and with it, our consensus start/sit lists are starting to reach their expiration date...but don't worry, we've still got a few more weeks of consensus wisdom to read up on. As usual I went through this weeks start/sit list and tallied up below are the players with the most start or sit votes.
Good luck in the playoffs and hope you all enjoy watching the Broncos beat the Pats!
QB
Start: Matt Stafford, Tim Tebow, Rex Grossman
Sit: Alex Smith, Ben Roethlisberger, Carson Palmer (he also got several start votes though), Michael Vick
RB
Start: Chris Johnson, Beanie Wells, Cedric Benson, Felix Jones
Sit: Rashard Mendenhall, Ryan Mathews, DeAngelo Williams, C.J. Spiller
WR
Start: Demaryius Thomas, Jabar Gaffney, Santana Moss (gotta love a 2-Skins start list...)
Sit: Anquan Boldin, Michael Crabtree, Vincent Jackson
TE
Start: Owen Daniels, Jake Ballard, Jermichael Finley, Anthony Fasano
Sit: Jermaine Gresham, Heath Miller, Dustin Keller, Vernon Davis
DST
Start: Lions, Bengals, Cardinals
Sit: Broncos, Chargers
Kicker
Start: John Kasay, Stephen Gostkowski
Sit: Billy Cundiff

To the anonymous first comment: since this is compiled from start/sit lists and not rankings, it really doesn't matter how many sites have Vick rated higher than Grossman. Lots of sites only feature a few players on their sit/start lists, the ones they think are likely to do better (or worse) than the conventional wisdom. Sometimes players are close to showing up on both sides of the list. Just the way it is.
In my league...Vick's performance was nothing more than pedestrian.
In a TD heavy league, He does slightly better. There are hundreds of leagues with different scoring formats. Ill put up my stafford against your Vick any day. AND Im an eagles fan, which doesnt mean crap in fantasy land. This site doesn't write the articles, it provides links so that ALL the articles are located in one spot. If you don't like the site, PLEASE feel free to leave us who do alone with out having to hear the crying of someone who obviously lost last week. And I will GLADLY show you my team and I will LAY MONEY it decimated yours in any format... AND Im not afraid to list my name. You can find me in the forum at Bruno Boys.
Anon - I think most everyone has already said what I need to say except that if I have time I will pull a list of the sites that suggested sitting Vick (or felt that he was an unfavorable play since that's essentially what all experts are suggesting when they say sit anyway). From what I remember there were either 3 or 4 sites that had Vick on their sit list. Week to week it varies on how many votes get you a spot on this consensus list but 3 is about the minimum in order for me to list a name unless it's a DST or Kicker which are listed on fewer sites. Or if it's just a weird week where no experts can agree, then 3 could be sufficient. You're welcome to keep digging through the sites if you have the time but it's really not worth it. The whole point here isn't to blindly take the advice without thinking about your lineup, it's merely to give a sense of the consensus thoughts on start/sit lists. Not rankings. Not the weekly all stars, merely start/sit lists. Hope it has served you well this season.
