Mixmasterjeff Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I'm currently leading by 35.5 points with my kicker yet to play. My opponent has Slaton and Andre Johnson. A win gets me the division and a 1st round bye. Anybody ever make roster moves to counter a h2h opponent? I purposely dropped Ten's kicker and picked up Kris Brown yesterday to try and counter Hou offensive production. I figure that drops any Slaton/Johnson TD down to 5 points. I'm on the fence about weather this is a good play or not but if the game happened to be a blow out it just might push me over the edge. I've made similar moves in the past, matching my Qb with my opponents WR, even if it was not the best match-up. Anybody here ever make similar moves??

Big John Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Not advised. Best plan is to start the players who you think will score you the most points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff321 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I understand the concept and it reminds me of the prevent defense. You always should do what got you there in the first place. Ditka just hit the nail on the head. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixmasterjeff Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 I agree, 95% of the time I think you play the best match-up. In this case I think it's the right play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You should always start the players you believe will score the most points REGARDLESS of whom your opponent might or might not be starting. You should set your lineup without even considering the players on your opponent's roster. As far as attempting to churn the waiver wire defensively ... I have never really found this to be a viable strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixmasterjeff Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 The Huddles projections helped make this decision a little easier too. For whatever that worth.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pig devilz Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 In a fairly standard Yahoo league, your drop Bironas/add Brown, cost you 6 points. Looks like you still won your matchup by about 15 points.... you're 'lucky' HOU didn't give Slaton the ball more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
