oochymp 2,393 Posted September 9, 2013 share the blunders of your teams or other teams in your leagues, interpret that however you want, this can be a "can you believe player X did better than player Y?" or a "can you believe this dude (or I) started player X over player Y?" I'll start it off with some stuff from week 1 that fit both categories: in the TGP Auction league I had Anquan Boldin on my bench (I did start him in one of my other leagues) I had Dez Bryant and Steve Smith starting over him, who both performed worse, and Pierre Garcon, who hasn't played but probably won't top 39 points, sure there's no way I'd start Boldin over Bryant, but I arguably should have started him over Smith or Garcon; I also had Shane Vereen put up 22 points on my bench in two leagues, but who would be starting him? (seriously, I should have started him over Doug Martin in one league or either Darren Sproles in the other) But the real reason I'm starting this thread: in one of my leagues somebody started Can Newton over Peyton Manning, first of all why the hell do you have both Cam Newton and Peyton Manning? you're just setting yourself up for headaches, second of all why in the hell would you ever sit Peyton Manning? The guy ended up losing 50 points because of the decision (Cam put up 15 in this league, Peyton put up 65) but the good(?) news is it actually may have no impact on the game as he's currently trailing 67 to 113 with Arian Foster remaining against LeSean McCoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted September 9, 2013 I had no major mistakes this week, though Alshon Jeffrey was a better start over Kyle Rudolph in the flex spot. I think I'll comfortably win my week 1 match against Sarge, unless Arian Foster and Pierre Garcon explode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC 331 Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) I lol'd so hard when I noticed someone from my league posting in here and aching over a decision. Secondly, FUCK STEVEN RIDLEY WHAT THE FUCK YOU AND T.Y. HILTON WERE NO BRAINER STARTS AND THEN RUINED MY AWESOME WEEK BY EVERYONE ELSE :panic: ---- Also, neither really look good as starts next week, like at all. Blowage. Fills may be Kenbrell, Moreno, Mendehall, or Fred Jackson Edited September 9, 2013 by BC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

housemd 338 Posted September 9, 2013 Benched Shane Vereen in our Yahoo league but I started Charles, Gore and Daryl Richardson so I didn't lose many points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Had Brian Hartline on the bench in Razors league. Luckily my team raped souls, so it won't cost me this time. He might be the better option over T.Y. Hilton going forward. Joique Bell benched in the same league. Edited September 9, 2013 by Bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUCK3Y3 44 Posted September 9, 2013 Isaac Redman was one of my starters. My runningbacks are shit. Going to pick up Joique Bell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phins4life 271 Posted September 13, 2013 Well, for week one, let's see.... - I sat Jared Cook in both of my leagues. In my defense, I was starting Daniels and Gonzo (felt logical). - I sat Steve Smith for Torrey Smith in my NFL.com league, although in fairness a TD would have done wonders to Torrey's final line. - I sat Shane Vereen and Joique Bell in one of my leagues under Eddie Lacy and Stevan Ridley, with the former scoring a significantly higher total than the latter. I don't consider Bell's performance to be very commonplace, but I bet Vereen could have been nice to start in future games if he hadn't been injured. Needless to say, I lost in both of my leagues because of said blunders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC 331 Posted September 14, 2013 And I for some reason allow Ridley to screw me again. Damn, the RB pool was so thin. Doug Martin, Stevan Ridley, and Knowshon Moreno were looking so good right after the draft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barracuda 629 Posted September 15, 2013 Haden is a shutdown corner. Can't start anyone against him. Anyone who has Torrey Smith this week. Take him out before the game starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glanvilles Grits 142 Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) One of the teams in my league has Colin Kaepernick and Ben Roethlisberger. He started Roethlisberger in week 1. His original reasoning before the game seemed legit. Roethlisberger has lit up Tennessee on so many occasions. Then the games went down, he felt like a complete idiot. Ben Roethlisberger is no longer on his roster, he picked up Carson Palmer LOL I sat Vincent Jackson last week. Seemed alright as he was going against Cromartie. Damn, I shouldn't have listened to that Bucman character, what was I thinking!! Edited September 15, 2013 by Rain Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FartWaffles 1,857 Posted September 16, 2013 Started Kaepernick and Randy Bullock this week... Thankfully I benched Boldin for Edelman. Even with those blunders I still have a chance to win this week. I just need A.J. Green to not have an above average night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RazorStar 4,025 Posted September 23, 2013 In between Christian Ponder, Eli Manning and Big Ben, Ben was the one on my bench. Also left Reggie Bush starting, but my options weren't particularly amazing. Still beating Sean by 90 points though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) time to bump this thread: I finally got fed up with the underperforming and sat Tom Brady this week in favor of Jake Locker fortunately, it looks like my team is still going to win oh, and I also sat Jason Witten in a different league this week and I might actually win in that league too, go me helped that my opponents in both leagues had Foster starting Edited November 4, 2013 by oochymp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
