Friday afternoon means only one thing, besides deciding how you can sneak out of the office early, and that's fantasy football Start/Sit. We won't waste your time on the obvious guys... anybody planning to sit Peyton Manning? Didn't think so. PlayThisGuy.com took a look at 17 sources around the web to see who the top Start/Sit guys are for Week 3. We present the Top 10 below.

Even though Mark Sanchez had a good performance last week, the experts don't see him matching that performance against the Dolphins, in Miami. On the flip-side, perennial underachiever Darren McFadden gets the nod from the gurus for Week 3.

Good luck on Sunday (and Monday).
