Lesson learned. Why you always start your stars in the fantasy playoffs

Well, it’s all over. And this week, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Sure, we could point a finger at Aaron Rodgers for a crummy showing in the fantasy semifinals, or get upset that Jamaal Charles didn’t get in the end zone (although Knile Davis owners should rejoice) but that’s part of the game. We rode them all year and they didn’t come through. Sometimes, you just have a bad week.

But, sometimes we learn the lesson at the wrong time. That lesson being to START YOUR STARS! Eddie Lacy had a decent week, with 97 yards on 15 carries and a score. Unfortunately for some of us, he was casually slotted in the bench position in lieu of, in my case, Chris Johnson. Yes, that’s right. Chris Johnson. How dare we! We drafted Lacy in the first round for a reason. We banked on him to come through in situations like this, and over-thinking put him on our bench. Shame on us. In a do-or-die situation, it’s just better to take the thinking out of it, and play the guys who got us there.

There goes the shiny, gold fantasy football championship trophy yet again.
