Why do my benchings ever work?
 

Every time I bench a guy for poor play the come on with a monster game. I dropped Bowe in week 2 thinking Stevie Johnson would have a big game against us. This week I had Charles who has been pretty mediocre so far that I replaced with Sproles. Him in the lineup today would have been game over. Guess that's why I'm 0-2 so far. That and the fact that every team I play outplays their projected numbers by 50%.

ditto

i benched ryan for newton this week and charles for bush

lost about 50 points

Maybe because, based on the thread title, you have trouble with reading and writing?

"ever" doens't really fit :)

But don't feel bad I benched Fitz this week. Luckily Amendola was serviceable this week. Last week I benched Spiller but just held on for the victory.

Looks like I'll lose again. Only three of my starters played up to their projected numbers. Had I put Charles in for Sproles, the game wouldn't have been even close.

I'm having the same problem. I've benched guys because they were performing poorly, or listed as questionable.

I benched Charles today thinking he hasn't done shit all year, and he scores 34.8 points.

Last week I benched Nicks because he was listed as Q, and he scores 25.9 points. I also benched Adrian Peterson(Q), and he scores 20.7 points.

I benched RGIII for weeks 1 and 2, and he scores 25 and 31.44 points.

I learned my lesson this week and played RGIII. I'll still probably end up losing.

I try not to bench players based on production until after the first four weeks. For example, I have been starting Gresham, but was VERY tempted to bench him this week. And then he gets 6 catches, 75 yards, and a TD.

YOu drafted them to be starters for a reason. Can't overreact too early.

Overreacting is how I picked up Wes Welker actually. Although, I'm not trading for someone like Chris Johnson yet (who I WOULD be panicing on, since he is not producing while he IS getting the ball).
