ImNotSoIgnorant Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 This week in one league I have Luck. In another league I have the Bronco's Defense. In one league I have Brees and Jordan Reed, and in another league I am against them. How do you folks handle situations like this? Just 'suck it up' and deal with it? Move players around? In the first situation I could start Andy Dalton. Not such a great prospect being that its against the Ravens. Not stellar, but not a bad defense and he's not Luck. In the second I could bench Jordan Reed(never benching Brees) and play Charles Clay, but he's against the Patriots. Tannehil is improved, but I dunno. Anyway.... So, not looking for advice. Just wondering how you folks deal with these sorts of situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I start who i think will score me the most points, regardless of who the opponent is starting and just suck it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Like Big John I set my starting lineup for each league I am in purely based on who I believe will score the most points. Things like players I may or may not have or start in other leagues is not relevant ... just like it is not relevant whom my opponent starts. I set my lineups and forget them. I watch the games and don't worry about anybody's stat line. Edited September 6, 2014 by Grits and Shins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 My solution to this emotional issue was to join so many leagues that virtually every play made both helps an hurts me. Now I don't even look at fantasy scores until Sunday night. It makes watching football so much more enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansFan Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I agree with the others. I don't even look at my opponents' lineups until most of the games are done. What happens, happens. Just enjoy watching the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 My solution to this emotional issue was to join so many leagues that virtually every play made both helps an hurts me. Now I don't even look at fantasy scores until Sunday night. It makes watching football so much more enjoyable. Pretty much. I don't even know who my opponent is playing since I'm probably also playing with him in another league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butkus Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Agree with all above. Start the best players in each league regardless of other leagues. You'll drive yourself nuts otherwise and frankly overthink your way to more losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I do look at the live scoring during Sunday afternoons. I'm strange that way. Hopefully the Vikings will be more exciting to watch than staring at a iPhone or laptop all day this year. Leslie Frazier teams weren't much fun to watch so there's always that.

loaf Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 there's no way I'm going to remember all my starters and all my opponent's starters. I just set my lineups and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
