they would have to play absolutely awful to get you negative points. The Defense is firing this year, ranking highly in turnovers and sacks. You should be fine. The Dauphins aren't a high-powered offense and the Steelers generally play well coming out of a bye and the back half of the season. That said, it is risky to give away a win if they do fail, but if any tiebreakers utilize total points, that would suck to lose because you benched them haha.
I'm not high on Fournette, he scares me for different reasons but I would rather have him than Bell right now.
Generally, I only bench a MNF player if my lead is 1 point or less. You run the risk of a stat correction (turning a run into a catch, for example), but those are pretty rare. It's also way easier for a WR/RB to score negative points than defenses- they could lose a fumble on the opening drive and end up not playing the rest of the game due to being benched or getting injured- than a defense (generally, you wouldn't be starting a defense in a situation where it's possible for them to score negative)
First thing I thought of when they went down quick haha. Glad it worked out tho.
The majority of his points were from a 70 yard td or something like that. I would say he might do OK if Westbrook is still out.
I'd do that- I don't think Kyler is an every-week starter anymore, and he has 2 of his 3 next games against the Niners, who you definitly aren't starting him against
Yeah, this is a terrible trade for you. You went from Fournette (who has the job to himself and gets 20ish carries a week) to Lindsay (who's in a near 50-50 timeshare) and Jamaal Williams (who is in a 25-75 timeshare), and Gerald Everett is not a significant upgrade over Hockenson, plus you just... threw in Kenyan Drake, who might end up starting for Arizona a few time
Yeah that was my one slight hesitation, although I rarely ever started Freeman. Bell's schedule was just way too enticing! Haha.
Unless it's a Keeper league, you have no real reason to sell when you are in last place, and even then, how your keeper rules work would be important (outside of a Dynasty league, I can't see a rule set/situation where you would want to keep Justice Hill). If you are giving up Murray- who is an unquestioned RB1 if Kamara misses any more games and has played well enough that he probably is going to end up with some more playtime even when Kamara is back- you better be getting more than a useless RB who theoretically is a handcuff
I know it's 9ers D, but I think Kirk is going to get a ton of targets, with a statline like 8 catches 60 yards or something, I can live with getting 14 from my flex.
