re: Anyone else not starting Rodgers?

I understand what you're saying, but you're not playing to win this week. I want Rodgers to do well, but more importantly, I want the Saints to win.

I just realized, I drafted Saints defense I should have changed them out for this game

I normally do that, however, I thought Saints defense would be a Top 10 this season.... I liked the defensive line and secondary... Plus they were one of my last 5 picks

Last year it worked great for me, I picked any defense that played certain teams that ranked in bottom on NFL. On;y issue was when someone grabbed a defense I wanted and I became stuck.

Also, you run into the problem of other people who follow that strategy and everyone rushes to grab the teams who play the Bengals, Panthers, etc. Sometimes there are not good matchups to go around. I am by no means advocating drafting Green Bay defense in the 9th, but if it is your fifth string RB who may not see your roster past week 2 or your quality defense that will likely start all year, then I will take the small improvement in defense over an RB 6.

I just do not like this strategy. I am sure your sixth string RB is so much better than my quality defense that I drafted in like round 13.

My 6th string RB this year happened to be Tate so it may end up working out big time. Matchups have treated me very well for the past 4 years.

Yea I can't bring myself to drafting a defense, then being stuck in starting them the whole year, even when they play teams like New Orleans/GB/NE ect...

I normally just use my last pick on a defense, but like I said. I thought Saints defense was going to improve. Like make a jump near the Top 10 of NFL, maybe that was my B&G glasses talking... I drafted them late and maybe missed out on another low level RB/WR

I try and draft late for potential players who may blow up, get PT from injuries, etc... That way I can trade later if someone suffers an injury. Worked well for me in past
