Should I bench Lockett?

Anyone ever had a player do so poorly in a game that they lost 5 or more points?

You should be fine, only a defense could lose that much or an extremely poor outing from a QB.

But if you don’t want to risk it just bench him

Just play him to avoid be called a softy for the next 3 years.

A WR isn’t going -5

If one click could guarantee you 100% of winning, why not just spend the second it'll take to do that?

on one hand I doubt a receiver has ever had a -5 by themselves

on the other I don’t think I’ve seen 5 points worth of stat corrections, either

you’re overthinking it and you win either way my dude

The chances of him getting negative points is unlikely. The chances of him getting negative 5 points is absurdly low.

Honestly I think it would be worth it just for the lols and the water cooler talk.

Bench him, he can get negative points for fumble, lost yds so don't take a chance

You think he is going to get -20 yards receiving and 2 fumbles? WTF? If you are in a PPR league the chances of him scoring greater than -5 points has to be 99.999999999999%.

He would have to run for a 40 yard loss and lose a fumble and get knocked out of the game

or 20 yard loss and fumble and a stat correction for two points on another player/D (his team or opponent) and he loses

If it was a defense we were talking about I’d be all for benching and not taking any chances. But an actual player, ya gotta roll with him out there.
