We make it pretty easy to see who all the experts would start, but we’ve done a pretty poor job of sharing the wealth of advice that we gather from you, the FantasyPros community. We’ll do a lot more in this area in the future (some very cool stuff is planned), but let’s get started with some simple poll results to help you this weekend.
We asked our Facebook Fans to tell us which RB, WR and QB would perform the best out of a list of mid-tier players that are likely giving their owners start/sit migraines. This survey is still open and we’re giving out free premium subscriptions (2011 & 2012) to anyone that can correctly answer our 3 multiple choice questions. Yep, make 3 correct predictions and you’ll win. Get your entry in now!
Here are the results so far (based on almost 1,000 responses):
Which RB out of the list below will score the most fantasy points this week (Standard Scoring)?
These results are pretty similar to our Expert Consensus Rankings, but it’s worth noting that our community responses will likely favor “upside” over “safe plays” since we asked who will score the most points (not who can we bank on to do decently). Who would the experts start between C.J. Spiller and Darren Sproles? As of now 61% favor Spiller.
Which WR out of the list below will score the most fantasy points this week (Standard Scoring)?
I guess the triple whammy of Revis Island, KC’s putrid offense, and Tyler Palko make the “always start your studs” advice tough to follow for Dwayne Bowe owners. Michael Crabtree and Julio Jones are deadlocked as the 2nd favorite WR of the bunch. It looks like the experts are almost as evenly split with 53% favoring Crabtree over Jones.
Which QB out of the list below will score the most fantasy points this week?
Not everyone can have Aaron Rodgers. Sadly, the QBs on this list are probably very relevant to a good number of you out there that have lost guys like Schaub to injury, or have lost faith in the guy you’ve been starting. Our experts seem to have more love for Tim Tebow than our community (although they would also start Ryan over Tebow). Perhaps the most surprising player is Rex Grossman. Has he been this high on any list before? Not including “most likely to throw a pick six in the 4th quarter” type of lists!
Finally, here are the current results from our Start/Sit Challenge for Week 14’s toughest calls. The data below is only from our FantasyPros members (no data is included from the other communities where we run the survey). If you haven’t entered your picks yet, please do so now (top 50 scores win a cash prize!).
