Please tell me in no uncertain way how stupid i am please

This is why I only draft one TE, that way I'm stuck with it.

lol I got ripped in one league for not starting Miller over Watson.

I think a mistake most people make when setting their lineups is going for or against matchup situations. Then they complain when the player that shouldv'e been starting has a good game. Bottomline, start the best players on your team. Period.

I agree with mrblitz 100%.

Every time in any fantasy, football/baseball/basketball, I bench a better player because a lesser player has a good matchup it ends up costing me.

For some reason I keep making this mistake though.

You made a calculated mistake. You should have factored in Miami's tought run D and not that Batch was there, but that he would have to pass. The safest option for a shakey QB is his TE. As it turned out Batch didn't go to Miller as much as I thought he would, but he sure did get a lot out of his catches.

Hey, Winslow has a real good shot of proving that he is what he was supposed to be or that his stock will fall faster than him on a bike.

you make paris hilton look like the mensa founder.

is that what you wanted?

[flotsamnjetsam]

Don't beat yourself up about it until you see how Winslow does. And even then it's not worth beating yourself up about it. Almost every single owner makes at least 1 mistake EVERY week by starting someone and having a bench player outperform them. You just have to hope for the best with Winslow and also hope that the rest of your team picks up the slack. Who knows? Winslow might end up outscoring Miller this week. And Miller would have had a totally crap game if it wasn't for 1 play. We do the best we can but even the smartest, most informed fantasy owners make mistakes. That's what makes this game we play so fun and frustrating at the same time. Good luck!

PS: Dude is 100% correct, no way I would've started Winslow (someone you got off the WW) over Miller (the TE you drafted). Everyone has been waiting for Winslow to explode for 3 years now. I didn't draft him in any of my leagues but he's a guy I would've wanted to wait and see how he plays before starting him.

As I recall, Nick was just a bit hesitant to throw the red flag. Had he done so like an NFL head coach instead of a 3rd grader asking for permission to go to the bathroom, you wouldn't feel so dumb...

[bobfreakinvilla]

Don't feel so bad--I started McMichael over Miller and I got burned to the tune of 19 points.

It sucks, but I made the calculated option based on the Batch factor as well.

I was given minor consolation with Ronnie Brown getting me 18 points.

I still like Paris being the founder of MENSA response best.
