Lot of FF points on the bench this week (1 Viewer)

[The_Wolfman]

Darren McFadden - coming off an injury and some question as to if he would even play:

196 total yards, 4 TDs

Kenny Britt - after news of a bar fight and some talk that he would be deactivated for the game:

225 yards, 3 TDs

Lee Evans - on the road against Baltimore (also could read Lee Evans against anyone):

105 yards, 3 TDs

Ryan Fitzpatrick - also on the road against Baltimore:

374 yards passing, 4 TDs, 2 INTs and 20 yards rushing

Due to circumstances surrounding these players, most owners probably had to endure the pain of watching them go off on their bench this week. Anyone have the cojones to start one or more of these guys this week? FWIW, I don't own any of these guys in any leagues, just an observation of what a crazy and unpredictable sport Fantasy Football can be sometimes.

Also, for anyone rushing to their WW to add Evans...don't bother. He always puts up one monster game a year. He'll be back to his 3 rec for 20 yard ways in no time. The other two are legit, IMO.

Yep Mcfadden got me 44 pts today. and i lost my matchup by 38, with Chris Ivory getting me 4 pts. To make matters worse, I used my #1 WW claim on Ivory, and Britt is sitting in free agents.

I hate this game.TM

In the 14 team league I am in, those were all pretty obvious starts (once declared they would play) by the teams that had them. The only debatable one was Evans perhaps, but I started him with Andre Johnson on a bye, as Fitzgerald and Evans seeming on the rise even before this game. Obviously in smaller leagues, all those guys are much more likely out.

Yep, the league I'm in one guy left over 100 pts on the bench and would have blown his opponent away. He had McFadden and Ryan Fitz sitting the bench!

Good call I'm going to add Fitzpatrick to the OP

 

[Go deep]

In one of my start 3 WR dynasty leagues i had Andre Johnson on a bye, and still left Dwayne Bowe, Kenny Britt and Steve Johnson on my bench.

I only benched DMac in one of the 5 leagues i have him, but he must have seen alot of peoples benches today.

 

[pepwaves]

Yep...bizarre week in FF. Surely a lot of teams thinking about all the "what-ifs" that would have led to a win...

I had Fitzpatrick (29 pts), Freeman (16 pts), and Colston (17 pts) sitting on my bench. Brady (10 pts), Cutler (5 pts), and Woodhead (5 pts) started in their place. Oops...

actually debated between Deon Butler and Britt - changed my mine several times before 1pm - changed it for the last time at 12:59 - didnt think I would get in . . .

Britt - I needed it - was 1-5 before this week, and last week I thought I won til I woke up Tuesday morning and found out that they waited til then to deduct 4 points from KC Defense . . . today made up for it . . .

I remember having Jamal Lewis on the bench when he ran for 300 yards, and Corey Dillon when he ran for around 275. But in both cases, those guys were starting on most teams, but each time I had two guys the consensus thought was better.

I had Fitzpatrick on the bench today, but just couldn't put him in against the Ravens even over Eli Manning.

 

[Superbowl Shuffle]

Both Britt and McFadden on my bench. Hoping Romo can steal a win tomorrow night.

 

[tex]

Still winning the matchup but in one league I traded for Ronnie Brown last night because I was worried that even if Dmac played he wouldn't be very effective. So I left 45+ points on the bench and started Ronnie Brown and his 5 points.

 

[Brycestrahorn]

decided to pull Matt Ryan out in place of Romo and went with Fitzgerald after the bye week instead of Britt

In out 12 team league , average scoring is around 100 points. One team put up 155 with these guys and would have had 195 had he started Britt, injures forced his hand, his rbs were R Brown, Gerhart and MCF..lol
