Fearsome 22 Posted September 28, 2018 With all of the skill players for both teams exploding, except for Cook, whod you leave on your bench? I left Goff on my bench in favor of Stafford vs Dallas which cost me 39 points but also resisted temptation and kept Cook and his 2 points benched even after he was deemed active. Too many variables there for me. Starting Miller in his place Sunday. So 1-for-2. But, my opponent benched Cooper Kupp for Will Fuller. That can only be a net positive for me!

bobjay00 22 Posted September 28, 2018 I benched the Viking dee for New England. I am winning by 25-23 but expected Gurley to outscore Thelien by more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,459 Posted September 28, 2018 I want to know you benched Cousins, and for who? I know on the little help board someone asked if they should start Mayfield over Cousins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafoam1 1,879 Posted September 28, 2018 I left Minn Def on the bench and played Diggs. I'm going with Indi Def. this week. Is Minn def. worth dropping? Not many defenses left on the wire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARO 3 Posted September 28, 2018 I left Goff on my bench. Had Gurley obviously in starting lineup. I left fitzmagic in because I'm a damn rebel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 28, 2018 I call BS to anyone who says they benched MIN defense. If you have MIN Defense thru week 4, you drafted them... they werent on your wire. If you draft a defense, you do so because you choose NOT to plug and play, and roll them out every single week. Lets keep it real, while friendly boys and girls.

mobb_deep 917 Posted September 28, 2018 Benched Goff for Fitz. To be fair, I havent played Goff all year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Connorsdad 38 Posted September 28, 2018 I started Watson vs Indy over Goff. Yeah that hurts ! I did start Cousins over Watson in another league. I will never sit Goff again. Hes on the best offense in the NFL. Just stupid sticking with Watson ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobby heenan 60 Posted September 28, 2018 Eh...just Goff no biggie lol...kinda hard to start the guy tho the way Ryan's been going off First week jve prob made wrong call on qb tho....started Goff week 1 then Ryan last two weeks....doubt Ryan bests last night but oh well...I'd take 35 from matty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted September 28, 2018 Actually played them all! Theilan, Kupp and Rudolph who obviously didn't go nuts like the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flint5 4 Posted September 28, 2018 Benched Kupp for C. Ridley. Keep getting burned by these Thurs night games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cousinal111 57 Posted September 28, 2018 Benched Cousins for Goff. Actually acquired Goff for John Brown & Corey Clement on Monday so I'm hoping that ends up being a great move. Started Kupp. We play 2 RB, 3 WR, 2 FLEX in Full PPR & I usually go 5 wide. Drafted Kupp as my WR5 & obviously he's moving up the depth chart. So 85 points between Goff & Kupp made my Thursday Night pretty enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted September 28, 2018 I call BS to anyone who says they benched MIN defense. If you have MIN Defense thru week 4, you drafted them... they werent on your wire. If you draft a defense, you do so because you choose NOT to plug and play, and roll them out every single week. Lets keep it real, while friendly boys and girls. I left that -9 on my bench. Yeah I drafted them, but I also know a defense that got lit up by buffalo, flying on a short week to play the Rams wasn't a good start. They aren't the set and forget d I thought they'd be. I was wrong at the draft. Far too often I've let that tank my season by starting players that should be on the bench, not this time friendo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I benched Vikings defense as I picked up Seattle (@ Arizona) on Wednesday. Why would anyone trust the Vikings defense in LA after getting beat like they did Week 3 at home against Buffalo. I'll probably bench them again Week 5 at Philadelphia. I'm not dropping them, but they are a defense with a lot of issues at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted September 28, 2018 Just checked my 2 leagues: A league - my opponent played Dalvin but left the negative 6 from MIN DST on the bench B league- the MIN DST owner played them and got 1 point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpenceToons 70 Posted September 28, 2018 I was considering benching Diggs given how LAR has shut down WRs so far. Just last week Keenan Allen was held to a 7-3-44 line. But the injuries to LAR's DBs made starting him an easy call. There was a lot of grousing in the game thread about the early attention shown to Thielen at the expense of Diggs and i was pretty steamed myself. But Diggs finished only 4 points below him and actually had 15 targets to Thielen's 12. One manager in my league benched both Kupp and Cooks. Another benched Goff.

TBayXXXVII 2,116 Posted September 28, 2018 I have 3 teams... in 1 league, I have no Rams or Vikings. In another, I had Thielen - whom I always start - got me 27.5 points. In the last league, I only have 1 QB (Goff), and also started Thielen and Rudolph - got me 77.5 points. In the league where I don't have any Vikings or Rams, it is a 2 QB league (PPR), and one guy started the Goff, Cousins, Gurley, Cooks, and Thielen and got 150 points. Thank God I'm not playing him.

polecatt 402 Posted September 28, 2018 I have Goff in 3 dynasty leagues, just played him in one game. I played Stafford and Fitzpatrick on the other 2. 57 from Goff in the league I played him, my opponent left Kupp on the bench too, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 459 Posted September 28, 2018 Dude in my league left Goff & Kupp on the bench. We get yardage and long TD bonuses. 92pts from those two players ALONE. I'm facing him. In one my leagues, it's shaping up to be a long year (drafted DJ @ #3, for starters - after drafting him last year). This week (we face two teams per week), the worst team in the league started Goff against me. 50 points. The other team I faced started Gurley and Kupp. Ugh.

TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 28, 2018 B league- the MIN DST owner played them and got 1 point 1pt, and not negative? Id like to know that scoring system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 985 Posted September 28, 2018 I dropped Cooper Kupp right before the game started. I had just added him, but the same guy that dropped him also dropped Derek Carr who clears waivers Sunday morning who I want to pick up. I'm really deep at wide receiver but still that was a mistake. If I don't get Carr I'll try to get Kupp back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted September 28, 2018 1pt, and not negative? Id like to know that scoring system.I think its CBS standard default https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/what-is-a-standard-scoring-league/ In my yahoo league it was negative 6, but we do alter the scoring a bit from yahoo default so not sure what the DST got in a default yahoo league.

Fearsome 22 Posted September 28, 2018 I can't ever remember a non-Thanksgiving Thursday game being this good with so much fantasy relevance.

Admittedly, the league I commish has a more aggressive scoring system for D/ST; therefore league owner in my league took a -14 Still, hard to see why any positive points would be earned for that performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 28, 2018 So many people somehow left Rams on the bench. One league guy played Brady over Goff and in another a Rams fan benched Goff and Cooks. He was even AT the Rams game and didn’t start them! Hindsight yea yea but what’s wrong with you people? These are no brainer starts imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 28, 2018 1pt, and not negative? Id like to know that scoring system. I have never played in a league where you get negative for dst. CBS you start with 20 and it goes down from there. Id rather not even start a dst if theres a chance for negatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rotisserieking 34 Posted September 28, 2018 Kupp and his 35.7 points on my bench look pretty good and would definitely have helped get to 4-0, now it's an uphill battle. But sat him for Allen Robinson and John Brown or Agholor. I thought he might score but was thinking 4-55-1 as a ceiling. Oh well. But my opponent hit me with Cousins and Woods. That hurts more than having Kupp on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted September 28, 2018 I have never played in a league where you get negative for dst. CBS you start with 20 and it goes down from there. Id rather not even start a dst if theres a chance for negatives. Usually you get negative points if a DST gives up too many points. I like it as a wrinkle; a DST can win a week for you, or lose one. I have 2 shares of woods. sat him in 1 for arob and started him over smokey brown in another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
