Yannick Noah Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Standard Scoring Redraft League 4pts. per TD, -1pt. per INT Going into tonight's game I have a 96-91 lead over my opponent. All of his players are done and I have Eli Manning left to play. Is it unsportsmanlike to bench a player when you already have a lead? It doesn't seem possible that Eli would throw a ton of picks , but anything is possible. The Jags should be hungry and NY has a banged receiving corps. Have any of you experienced this same situation and what do you think I should do? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akfatha Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) i say start him. he needs to throw 5 picks for a tie lol, and thats if he gets 0 pts offensively. Edited November 20, 2006 by Akfatha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Are you allowed to do that? We have to start a qb....at least one rb.....up to 4 receivers..have to start kicker ....d...you can 'bench' one of your starting positions?

I don't believe that there is anything written and I know we haven't presented this scenario in meetings. I'm leaning towards starting him because he would really have to stink up the joint for me to lose......but anything can happen on MNF.

MERLINS Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Having the option is silly. In most leagues you have to start a QB regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 In my opinion the only way a player can be benched is if you have another starter to put in ... so you'd have to insert Garrard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
