For the last couple weeks I've had some interesting decisions as some of bye weeks and injuries piled up, and after setting my lineups today I'm wondering if anyone else does something similar to what I did.
I'm in a dozen dynasty leagues, all of them PPR. After setting my lineups based on what I thought gave me the best chance to win I found that I had Cecil Shorts in seven lineups and Alex Green in three. And those were my flex plays/last starters in every case.
But looking at that 7/3 split I didn't like it. And running Shorts vs Green through a couple WDIS services I got results that suggest it's pretty close to a coin flip.
So I went back through and found a couple leagues where I could sub Green in for Shorts to make it five Week 9 starts for each guy. The net result is that even though I have a slight preference for Shorts heads up with Green I feel better about seeing the two split evenly than having seven of my ten eggs in a basket where they could bust with a bad week from Gabbert or the Jags offense.
Does anyone else in many leagues approach lineup decisions like this? Occasionally sitting a player you like somewhat better to manage the weekly risk as a portfolio rather than dealing with each league in isolation?
(ETA: I'm not looking for help making the WDIS decision here...I'm pretty much settled on that. I'm interested in a general discussion of risk management across many leagues and how people approach that.)
