oochymp 2,393 Posted September 16, 2015 I do this thread every year and it's always fun, so come here and commiserate, who should you have started but didn't? who did you start instead that should have been on the bench? predictable or not, get it out there I went 1-4 this week, so clearly some mistakes were made, two of the games I lost I lost by about 30, so those I wouldn't have been able to swing, but the other two: in TGP ESPN I lost by two, I also started Eli Manning (7 points) over Sam Bradford (13) and apparently should have played Ryan Matthews (11 points) in my flex spot over Vincent Jackson (9) or Calvin Johnson (5) though my opponent (Squad Zilla, not sure who that is?) did leave Danny Woodhead and his 22 points on the bench, so I don't think I can really complain also started Eli (8.52 points) over Philip Rivers (31.96) in another league and lost by four, though my opponent there didn't hit his optimal lineup either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) If you can count not starting Austin Sefarian-Jenkins over Megatron as my flex, then that. All of my other leagues that I lost in I wouldn't have won no matter who I started, so that's nice. I guess? Edited September 16, 2015 by Vin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted September 16, 2015 Sproles on the bench. Cost me 10 points and the W. Not sure what I was thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vin+ 3,121 Posted September 21, 2015 Should've started Sammy Watkins over Keenan Allen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 791 Posted September 21, 2015 Should've started Sammy Watkins over Keenan Allen. Yup. Sat him for Roddy White who scored a whopping ZERO points. And in my other money league started John Brown (4 points) over Allen Robinson (29 points). I'm going to lose in all three leagues this week and I deserve to.

oochymp 2,393 Posted September 28, 2015 I have Torrey Smith in all five of my leagues, go me, right? he was on my bench in all five so this week I decided to play Torrey in a couple of my leagues to make it worse I had Steve Smith on my bench in one of them, played the wrong Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vin+ 3,121 Posted September 28, 2015 Should've started Cam over Stafford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted September 28, 2015 oh, and one of the leagues I plugged Torrey Smith in I played him over Mark Ingram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted September 28, 2015 Started Phillip Rivers (9) over Andy Dalton (33). I was originally going to start Andy but let the talking heads talk me out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch 874 Posted September 28, 2015 I sat big ben for MariGOATa. \o/ Same. lmaoUs. Wow, I was in the same exact situation. Started Big Ben and had Mariota on the bench. When you're strategizing for matchups, you can't plan for unexpected injuries. Unfortunately, Ben getting hurt cost me the game = \ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted October 1, 2015 another fun weekly feature on Sportspickle: The Crappiest Fantasy Team in America: Week 3 — SportsPickle — Medium that looks like it should have been a reasonable lineup, -5 for a missed PAT is pretty rough, but that's hardly the cause of this shitshow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted October 5, 2015 I've been sitting on Miami's defense way too long also had Philip Rivers put up 34 points on my bench, but Eli Manning put up 25 as my starter and I'm winning that game anyway also had Todd Gurley on my bench in a few leagues, but I kinda figured I'd end up leaving him there one week too long and in the TGP ESPN league I left Vincent Jackson on my bench, but JD went off so I'd have lost that one anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FartWaffles 1,857 Posted November 1, 2015 Started John Brown who gave me a goose egg over Willie Snead. (17.6 points) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) turns out I should have started Eli Manning over Andy Dalton also, apparently I should have started Shane Vereen over Amari Cooper in the Auction league Edited November 2, 2015 by oochymp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted November 30, 2015 looks like I should have sat Gurley for Lacy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted November 30, 2015 Started Melvin Ingram instead of Shaq Barrett. Happened to lose my fantasy game by the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted November 30, 2015 Sat Jeremy Maclin (28.9) for James Jones (0). Lost because of the difference. Might cost me the playoffs in one league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted December 6, 2015 should have started Antonio Andrews over Todd Gurley, because of course that makes sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted December 8, 2015 Sat Jeremy Maclin (28.9) for James Jones (0). Lost because of the difference. Might cost me the playoffs in one league. It did indeed cost me the playoffs, as on the final week I lost by 5.7 points, despite having the second highest point total in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
