Is this a logical move?

Going up against Cousins. Biggest threat to losing this week as I could see him going off against CAR.

I've got Reed and Crowder, could also pickup Garçon.

Logical to start Crowder or Garçon in case Cousions goes off and mitigate the damage? Or am I over thinking it?

Would start over Watkins, Ty Williams, G Tate or Gabriel (Atl)

100% faulty logic

You start the players you think will get the most points. Plain and simple.

Mitigating damage isn't a thing.

This is the accepted as valid strategy.

You only do this type of thinking going into SNF or mnf when most games have been played and you can increase your chances if you can cancel out certain things.

Play your best team

What if you start Crowder, Reed, and Garçon and Couisins throws 3 tds to Thompson and Kelley? The only way I'd use a mitigating strategy off the bat would be at kicker (Hopkins), but even that is shaky with long XPs.

or cousins has a bad day.
Now his opponent has one player who didn't play well, while OP has two or three.
It just isn't smart.

I have Winston, Martin, and brate this week against Dallas. Plus I might start the Bucks defense.

If Tampa craps the field I won't move on to the championship game.
