Up by 1 point... sit or start final player?

PromiseLand · 10-08-12, 07:01 PM

Man, I have a hard time believing Andre Johnson would get negative points. I think it's more likely that there will be some lame scoring adjustment than that he would somehow get negative points. Plus, most leagues offer some sort of payout if you get the most points for the year. Dunno if yours is set up that way or not. Either way...congrats on the win this week!

onlooker · 10-08-12, 07:03 PM

Play him.

ttwarrior1 · 10-08-12, 07:05 PM

play him, u never know there might be some pt adjustment on tuesday or something, none of these games are ever official until wed on fantasy pts

peacebyinches · 10-08-12, 07:14 PM

thanks guys, appreciate the advice. As far as total points go as a tie breaker to get into the playoffs or whatnot, I managed to actually tie in week 2 or 3 (with Espn's stupid scoring system...) so I doubt I'll end up in a situation where total points is going to help/hurt me.

Anyways, I'll be playing him!

onlooker · 10-08-12, 07:32 PM

I have A.Johnson going tonight, but I'm already up 40 points, and my opponent has no more actives.

Speedy88 · 10-08-12, 07:45 PM

Play him. Fantasy leagues adjust scores throughout the week.

ttwarrior1 · 10-08-12, 09:23 PM

damn he has 0 touches

Robber · 10-08-12, 11:05 PM

I'd play in those situations especially because total pts can be used as tiebreak

GamblerSpirit · 10-08-12, 11:06 PM

Cant believe andre johnson laid a major egg. This guy is no longer even close to elite. Crmartie shut him down lmao

MexicanStallion · 10-08-12, 11:10 PM

I always play the guy. It might be difference if it's a defense remaining .

will2survive · 10-08-12, 11:12 PM

sitting him was a given. you were already ahead. dumb question

I guess you've never had an adjustment on Tuesday morning?

peacebyinches · 10-09-12, 12:13 AM

yeah, Johnson has been a disappointment so far... got like 1 total point tonight

teams have just been going so far out of their way to shut him down, its annoying to say the least

easyliving · 10-09-12, 12:52 AM

I was up 6 in a league with my opponent having both Andre and Greene going tonight while I had nobody left. Thought I had no chance. Still won the matchup by 2 as both guys were awful.

LT Profits · 10-09-12, 05:28 AM

I NEVER sit guys in that situation because all my league use total points as playoff tiebreakers.

mrmarket · 10-09-12, 05:53 AM

You should use him for sure for your fantasyfootball needs!

dudekid · 10-09-12, 06:36 AM

cant believe how much andre sucked last night, i was up by 13 and had andre left...he had arian foster...we all know how that went

me-first · 10-09-12, 08:41 AM

i would've played him, never been in that situation before though..

man, I'm in that scenario like every week... this week I won by 2 points (and could have lost if AJ fumbled or some BS like that), one week I actually TIED WTF, and the week before this one I was actually TIED again with about 2 minutes left for MNF... I had Chicago Defense, he had nothing, was down by ~23 points... figured it was over... then I see that Chicago's D went nuts as shiet.

Score was tied.... get a sack... a pick.... a fumble..... cmon finish strong..

then Dallas scored a meaningless touchdown with less than 2 minutes left, lowered Chicago D's FF point total... goodbye miracle

ericthegangster · 10-10-12, 02:12 AM

Who was the other guy playing? That probably would have factored somewhat in my decision, but the right move was probably to start him....

The other guy had nobody left. He mentioned in in Post #1. But still, you have to consider playoff tiebreakers, and you had to believe going in that Andre was more likely to help in that regard than score negative points.

k13 · 10-10-12, 12:33 PM

With my luck he'd probably get hit,fumble, injured, I lose by 0.01

actually, the only adjustment that I've had Tuesday morning was the chiropractor cracking my neck or my girlfriend making her own adjustments.

I think you always go for more points because points figure into tiebreakers

oiler · 10-11-12, 06:52 AM

always go for more

dudekid · 10-11-12, 07:46 AM

nate washington also gained 2 points (15 yds) which changed a win for the first place team into a tie...ouch

oh, i missed htat. I thought he said his opponent had one left to play. If he didnt have anyone left to play then I would have benched the guy. a win is more important for getting into the playoffs than a few points for the tiebreaker.

ZetaPsi808 · 10-11-12, 02:52 PM

how many points did he get that night?

Standard scoring 1.5, PPR 2.5. He had 1 catch for 15 yards.

Roy Halladay · 10-11-12, 07:24 PM

No way I would have sat him, could affect total points rankings for the full season yo.

Mikail · 10-11-12, 11:04 PM

of course you play him. you did play him right?

peacebyinches · 10-12-12, 02:34 AM

yeah I wound up playing him in case there was a scoring change

Also, I really was not worried about any playoff tiebreakers since I actually wound up with a tie one week, so there is really not much of a chance I'll wind up with the same record as anybody, but hey, who knows, weirder stuff has happened in FF
