Who Sharks are Starting - Week 7 Oct 17, 2008 | More

It's Thursday, which means it's time to get your preliminary lineups in. To help you with your tough lineup decisions, here's your weekly report taken straight from the official and community leagues here at FantasySharks.com -- Who Sharks are Starting.

Here's what you need to know about these rankings:

• Players are ranked by strength
• A player's score is a measure of strength that varies with the number of lineups in the calculation. The highest-ranked punter has a lower score than the highest-ranked running back because because fewer leagues use punters. In other words, the sample size is built into the scores, and more samples (to a point) means a more accurate picture of the collective Tank Brain. Mmmmmm... Brains...
• Scores are not simple start/bench percentages like you get on other websites, but include deep analysis of the individual decisions made by experts and the Sharks you trust for lineup advice in the Fantasy Sharks forums.
• This ranking does not currently account for league scoring, but most of the leagues represented are PPR
• Rankings are current as of Thursday, October 16th at 8 a.m. ET

Adjustments for league scoring and other factors are coming soon. If you have other suggestions, stop into the FantasySharks.com forum and let me know what you think and what you'd like to see.
