Week 1 down/up by ____ with ____ left to play

I'm up by 35.. I have Dalvin Cook, Michael Thomas, and will Lutz left. He has CJ Anderson left. My QB put up 1 point (Andy Dalton, Martavius Bryant 1 point, and Jimmy Graham 0 points. Thank you Kareem Hunt and Jacksonville defense

PPR. Down 66.9

I have Gordon, Allen, DT88, McManus

Down 9 with a cool Brees tonight.

I'm up by .8 in PPR. Opponent is done and I have Emmanuel Sanders left. Do I play him hoping he doesn't get only one catch with a fumble which would cause me to lose? OR Do I sit him and hope there isn't some sort stat correction tomorrow morning that causes me to lose?

Either way it's a long shot that I'd lose but I've seen crazier things happen in fantasy.

My advice in these situations is to play him. First off, the odds of a RB/WR putting up a negative stat line is extremely low, especially in PPR. He would basically have to catch a ball for 0 yards and fumble it then get no other catches the whole night. That's really really unlikely.

There's also the chance that a stat correction causes your 0.8 lead to disappear. That's also unlikely but arguably more likely than the above scenario.

Also, it's only week 1. Assuming your playoff system has some level of tiebreaker that uses total points, you'll be kicking yourself if you miss the playoffs by like 2 points because you benched Sanders week 1.

The risk of a negative game is too low to bench him. Start him with confidence.

PPR

I'm down 14.5 with Brees left to play. I think I'll get there, but I'm sweating.

If I lose because Brees doesn't score a 10 points, I may just have to quit fantasy football. Geez. I know it will only take a TD to pretty much get it without a turnover, but they are pushing the run too much.

Up 12.3 with all done vs Vikings D

Up 13.4 with Thomas vs k Allen. I'm nervous in this one. Thomas looks to be joining the rest of my team not named hunt and Carr in the suckfest

The second league is standard

Pulled it out.

Even though Saints lost
