BS Miscreant Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think I've asked this before but it might have been years ago. How many of you have in the past or will use the fact that you can watch a guy play on TV as a tiebreaker amongst players that you can't decide on? Clearly you don't go with a lesser player simply because he's on TV but if it's up in the air... I've done it. Sometimes it's just more fun. Sometimes it's a painful exercise. Especially interesting when I have a player on each team's O so there's always someone on the field that could get me points. How about this weekend, given the fact that there will be 6 or 7 games you will be able to watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injendsm Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It's a proven fact that players play worse when I'm watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Sure, I'll do it in my cheap league but it won't play any role in my higher money league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Got my all Turkey day team in but it's pretty much my main guys but did pop in a few I don't normally start. I'm out of the playoff hunt and so is the guy I'm playing so what the hell watch my guys and eat a little turkey win win I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprofessor Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 In my 20 years of playing fantasy football it's been apparent to me that the players playing on "prime time" normally elevate their game and put up more points. If I'm having trouble deciding who to start at a particular position then I typically will side with the primetime player. Case in point this week. I am starting Kevin Smith over Mendenhall and McGahee even though the latter players are playing against "softer" rush defenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plugged in Maurice Morris on Thanksgiving last year and it paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
