I got a taste for blown saves

gloom posted:

At this point in the season I'd take the win. If it looks like a bunch of teams will be clustered together with similar records, and points could affect playoff seeding, I might take points.

I'm actually pretty far in front points-wise but not record-wise

If it's close enough that a stat correction could give the other guy the win, I'd definitely chase the points.

Realistically, I would anyways because I believe in running up the score.

Don't bench Olsen. I don't think he'll fumble and cost you negative points. Only time I consider benching a player is when its a defense.

I could survive a fumble, I'm up by a little over two points

Take me to your Shida

I need 32.4 points from Benjamin and Evans tonight in PPR.

I also need Winston to outscore Evans by 30 points in PPR with bonuses at yardage milestones.

I'm actually feeling rather confident in both so I expect Winston to go down with an injury and have Evans rack up a ton of yards while Benjamin does nothing.

I need 7 from Benjamin and Brate and will somehow end up losing.

If I bench Olsen I'm guaranteed to win but I'm not up by much. Should I chase points or just take the win

This isn't even a question. You're way more likely to lose on a stat correction than Olsen getting negative points.

And if your tiebreaker is points you'd be insane to bench him, no matter how far ahead you currently are.

e: Need 4.8 from Benjamin in 0.5 PPR. I should be good. I better be good...

It sure would be great if Graham Gano could miss a couple of kicks tonight.

Traditionally, backup quarterbacks lean more heavily on their tight ends. Coaches run more TE-heavy sets to give the QB easy checkdowns when they're not running the ball. And Olsen is a top-three tight end - possibly TE1 by the end of the season, if Gronk doesn't shape up.

He is not going to score negative points tonight.

This utter tire fire of a game is exactly what I need :getin: Facing Derek Anderson, Benjamin, and Panthers D in one league, and at halftime I'm up by 18. In another league there's a small weekly payout for high score. I'm up by 6 on the next closest guy there, who has Jameis and Benjamin.
