Ask the Expert: What's the worst player you've used in a starting lineup this season, and how did it turn out?

Injuries and bye weeks have left fantasy teams with some desperate plays to fill lineups. What's the worst player you've used in a starting lineup this season, and how did it turn out?


Actually I have been pretty lucky on the injury front. Lost Andre Johnson and now Santana Moss but not too bad so far considering... My worst starter may well be Joseph Addai this week. I happened to be in Europe and thus the SNF game kickoff happened at 1:30 AM. I had both Addai and Delone Carter. I waited and watched until gametime and ultimately started Addai only to watch him play a few snaps before calling it a night and changing into street clothes.
