Starting players in primetime games just so you can see them? (1 Viewer)

Assuming the players are close (not talking about AP versus LeSean McCoy), would you start the player in the national game just to make it all more exciting/fun for you because you can watch them play?

Debating this right now.

Start C Johnson vs Pitt tonight

Or Ray Rice vs KC on Sunday

Would love to watch CJ tonight on TV. But can't do it.

Kinda surprised by the votes so far...

My 1st couple years I did, but after every week my fantasy game would come down to that player. If I needed 5 points, I'd get 3. If I needed 15, I'd get 12. The last straw was a game I needed 0 points. After Sunday, I was ahead by .5 points and my RB had a fumble (-3 points) got hurt and ended the game with -2.5 and a loss. Now, I view Monday night games as a curse to avoid. I don't apply this rule to Thursday or Sunday night games. Superstitions suck
