Last Minute Lineup Changes (1 Viewer)

[audiophile]

We've all been there before........We lock in our 'winning' lineup on Friday or Saturday and then get up on Sunday and see some new tidbit that gives us pause regarding a starter or two and we then make a change. Curious as to whether or not the newly inserted player typically outperforms the original player, in your experience.

I know what my experience is, and I find myself in the same situation again this morning. I went ahead and made a change at RB today, and as always in these situations I'm . How about you?

"I will not change my lineup on Sunday....I will not change my lineup on Sunday..."

I will only make exceptions if I'm waiting on a GTD guy, horrible weather for a QB/WR, or something unforseen like Corey Dillon getting into an accident on the way to the stadium (like a couple of years ago with the Bengals when an unknown Rudi Johnson came in to rush for 120+ and 2 TDs). Otherwise, I usually end up like the guy on the commercial who's watching Julius Jones have a career day right after he benched him....

Anyone catch the "NFL.com Fantasy Rule #12" ad a few minutes ago on ESPN?

The Houshamazilla guy makes last minute change to bench JJ and watches in anguish as JJ has career day.

Not on Youtube yet...

Bites me in the ###.

Unless a guy is OUT, I try not to make changes.

Still, this morning I made a few I'm sure I'll question later.....can't help it, I enjoy this Sunday morning ritual too much.

It has cost me a few games over the years.

I just benched Rudi based on what I read here this morning. Will report back later on how that worked out.

I try not to, unless something significant changes.

Player is out = bench, of course.

Top Corner is out, I might plug in a WR ranked close to another.

Otherwise, no changing on Sunday, despite what ESPN says about benching Randy Moss.

I just benched Rudi based on what I read here this morning. Will report back later on how that worked out.

Reporting back as promised..........Rudi = 14 pts and his last minute replacement, FTaylor, = 13. So pretty much a wash although this will end up being a 'What the hell was I thinking' if I lose by a point or tie.

50/50. Today, 100% bad. Sat CJ for Coles at the last minute as CJ hadn't done jack taco this year. Gulp.

I would say my last minute changes have a 75% failure rate.

Seems like last minute charges are more likely to be removing studs for backup options, which would tend to be more likely mistakes, no?
