I'm not getting the LOL icon. Are you laughing that it was a great decision or a horrible decision?
12.3 FP through roughly three quarters. Fairly standard, or maybe I'm missing something.

the hawks have been somewhat stingy against the run this season... ask ray rice owners. i'd say even if the game ended before the next TD it would have been a good outing.

"Never bench your studs" is one of my pet peeves in FF. It's baloney, IMO.
It's simple...start who you believe will score the most points any given week based on talent & circumstance. I definitely was considering benching McCoy, but what dissuaded me was him jumping around like a jackrabbit before the game. Call it a gut move or whatever, but that told me he was in better shape than what was being reported.
That said, I've been burned a few times by sitting studs. However, I'm way better than 50/50 when I do bench a stud, leading me to believe I'm right about thinking the old axiom of never benching your studs is off base.

yes i obviously overthought it with the half hour of coverage saying how much pain he was insomeone actually benched McCoy?
jwb

I have the exact opposite experience. Especially when it's "fighting for your playoff life" week.If my studs are playing, I'm starting them. McCoy, AJ, etc. At this point, matchups/etc don't bother me. Nor does "he might be limited" talk. Weather "might", but it has to be extreme.
It doesn't always pay off, obviously (nothing does), but in my experience, starting the stud is usually the better play.

Benching McCoy in a Week 13 matchup is ridiculous and nothing short of it. There's no gaurantees but you start a guy if his caliber if he's declared active. I hope some of you still did not learn your lesson so in case we're in the same league together you do that again.
McCoy's been so good this year it hurt me to sit him on his bye week.

If Vince Young didn't suck so bad McCoy would've had a lot more. That pick around the 4;30 mark was one of the worst.

I guess it's the safer play (or no risk), but any rigid strategy is never the best, IMO.I definitely believe you can get better results (long-term) by starting players based on talent & circumstance (along with who your other choices are, of course).

"Never bench your studs" is the mantra of the talentless.

Benching a stud because you had a half hours worth of reporting how sore and limited he would be is not the same as benching a stud cause he had a bad matchup.
I misjudged the severity of his injury. I listened to the latest injury news on him. It was bad info I acted on 6 mins before kickoff ...after I heard that people saw him and pregame and he lookee fine it was too late
Not much of a risk taker and never have been

I can only speak for myself, but what's wrong with me is that I'm an idiot. Well, I am in my local redraft. I'm brilliant in one of my dynasty leagues because I literally had no one else to start and left him in on hope.'Hipple said:'shadyridr said:someone actually benched McCoy?

I thought about benching him for about 2.3 seconds and slapped myself. Damn lucky he showed up for the Eagles. Seemed to be the only one.

Meh, I started him. I was on the fence, leaning toward starting him.
I came to the boards specifically to see what people were saying about how he looked in warm-ups, and planned to weigh that over the health chatter.
Thankfully, I got a good description of how he looked, and then somebody posted the video of him doing bouncing around on the bfoot in warm-ups. That sealed it.
But benching him was defensible, especially for folks that didn't see the video.
Never bench your studs.
Nonsense. What's a stud? What if you have to choose between LeSean McCoy and Ray Rice?
If you bench either guy, you are violating the "never bench your studs" rule.
The "never bench your studs" carries an implicit assumption that bench players are garbage. This is rarely the case.
As somebody above said, "never bench your studs" is much more appropriate as a mantra against overthinking matchups.
I'm all against overthinking. Sneaky is stupid, most of the time.

Benched him for Steve Smith. Had that hottie Stacy from the NFL Network not told me how much pain he was in and how he was moving around gingerly he would have been in my lineup. Lesson learned, never take fantasy advice from a chick!
There was a lot of conflicting information out there. I kept him in, but I wasn't confident in that decision. The reports of him jumping/bouncing around were what sealed my decision, but I was still concerned about the "limited" talk.
