Dont forget to set lineups with DET and ATL players tonight!!


Important reminder-the London game between DET and ATL starts at 1:30 pm British Standard Time which will be 4 hours different than EST due to the UK changing clock time Sunday morning.

That Lions-Falcons game starts at 9:30 AM EST and 6:30 AM on the West Coast!!!!

So Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Mathew Stafford, J. Bell and Reggie Bush and company all need to either be IN or OUT of your rosters by that time Sunday morning or you will find yourself with points from players you did not want starting or with players no longer available due to their game starting much earlier than the 1 pm normal start times.

Ask the Expert Question: What is your general strategy when it comes to injured stars?

A lot of big-name players have been trying to play through injuries, sometimes producing big games (Brandon Marshall), sometimes duds (Calvin Johnson, Jimmy Graham). Do you have a general strategy when it comes to injured stars, and has it changed at all this season?

I use a simple strategy that works most of the time. If a player is doubtful or out,  I do not start him period. If he is probable I start him if I think his projected stats are my best option but I monitor his situation closely and have a backup plan in case the "probable" player cannot go. For example, if he is a late game (4:30 pm) player I make sure I add a free agent that is playing in that time slot or later who can replace him if needed. If I have a flex spot it makes sense to put the player with questions in that spot so that either a RB/WR or TE can replace them in a late game. Players that are questionable usually play. A big factor in my mind is if they practice on the friday-that usually is a green light. Not practicing on Friday before the Sunday game is reason to bench him. I do not expect him to play in that case. There are always exceptions to the rule though. Some studs who have consistently shown an ability to play without practice do get the start but only if they have proven starts despite not practicing. This year has been a little chaotic but I have not changed my plans. One more thing-ignore most of the player comments about his health. They are not doctors. They tend to say whatever they believe, not necessarily what is true.
