Alphashado Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Lost AP due to deactivation. Had AJ Green starting. Ahh well, sht happens. But having Marshall on my bench really irks me. Everyone at ESPN and all of the so called "insiders" told us all day that Marshall was likely going to be out. So with a 7:30 kick off it wasn't worth the risk to start him. Adam Schefler even went so far as to say there was a 75% chance that he was going to be out. So he starts and gets 3 TDs. I can't help but feel like the Bears were intentionally milking the injury report in order to throw off the Niner's game plan, knowing full well that Marshall was going to play. Bah.

Grits and Shins Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 All of my long laid conspiracies are coming to fruition this week ... I feel so gratified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yes in 1 league as I had to start someone in his place for an early game. No in 2 others where I replaced Crabtree/TY Hilton with him right before gametime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Did you not watch the game? Marshall and Jeffrey were both clearly hobbled/limited. It was a gutty performance and he made the most of 5 catch 48 yard night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Could have put in Hopkins or Tate, but decided to wait for Marshall. Had a backup plan of Dwayne Allen if Marshall was out. Got lucky on that, but it doesn't matter because of AJ's big goose egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliaz Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I took a gamble and left him in my line up. I figured one of my other players would do better than expected and mitigate some of the point loss if Marshall didn't play/perform well. I am thankful the dice went my way. Also, did I mention my starting QB is Cutler... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MothAudio Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Based on the reports I pulled both Chicago WRs. Subbed Marshall with Crowell in the flex. Fortunately, I didn't need the 20 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I benched Marshal and Gates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbucklers Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I benched Marshall for Garcon since I had to make a decision early and I thought Garcon had a pretty good matchup! I find myself down 31.2 points instead of 9.6 with Foles left! Very disgruntled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Lost 2 games by benching both Marshall and Cutler (assumed he would be junk without Marshall/Jeffery) - that decision will undoubtedly cost me making the playoffs in one league, where I'm now 0-2. F late games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I subbed out Marshall for DeSean Jackson. I have a slim chance of still winning if Maclin and Sproles both have quiet nights. I'd have been assured of a win if I'd have played Marshall. So goes fantasy football... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I sat him in 3 Leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Sat him after seeing the 75% likely to not play news blurb. Also sat Ingram thinking he couldn't go 2 weeks in a row of being productive. The good news is I'm losing by so much this week having both of them in my lineup wouldn't have mattered anyways - so I've got that going for me................which is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotSoIgnorant Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I was able to wait 'cause I had crabetree. At flex I had Allen Hurns. And that was just the minor kiss for my week of f**k*ng misery for my 3 leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighKite Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I started Chris Johnson over him. still got about a 80 percent chance of winning but it would be over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinger Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You were not along, sitting on my bench and his points would have gotten me the win....sigh. I had no other significant injuries to speak of though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I started Chris Johnson over him. still got about a 80 percent chance of winning but it would be over. Is that 80% chance of winning like the 75% chance that Marshall and Jeffrey would not play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighKite Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Is that 80% chance of winning like the 75% chance that Marshall and Jeffrey would not play? LOL. I hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUBARED Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I benched Marshal and Gates Wow, double whammy, I had Gates benched for Pitta in another league. Might still pull out the win. Edited September 15, 2014 by FUBARED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUBARED Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have Nicks (ugh) that I could have subbed in if Marshall was a no go. Ended up not needing his points anyways. My opponnent had a horrible day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarzon Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Sat him early cause of the 75% comment and had no options for later, so I picked up Hurns and that turned out great. Also, sat Asiata for Bush and had Rainey on the bench (no real scenario that I would have played Rainey though). Currently down 22 points. With Marshall and Asiata I'd be up by 11 having to fend off Maclin tonight. Oh well, 0-2 here I come. At least I have a shot in my other league - up 3 with Maclin and Wayne against Sproles.

It's always good when an overall crappy performance by your team masks overall crappy performance by the owner. Been there, done that and you certainly sleep better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the outlaw Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 glad to see i'm not the only dummy that actually listens to the talking heads! LOL i could've had a walk-away victory this week, but instead i'm caught in a dogfight, down by 2 with Luck/Hilton (me) going against Nicks/Vinatieri tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
