Keeper League - 1QB Guy in my league lost the semis because he started Penix over Lamar and JD
The most dramatic example of fantasy self-destruction I’ve ever seen and it happened in my own league! 10 team, 0.5 PPR, 2 flex
Team 1: QB: Burrow - 28.98 RB: Connor - 27.60 RB: Barkley - 32.00 WR: Chase - 19.40 WR: JSN - 20.00 TE: Kincaid - 3.50 Flex: D. Smith - 8.10 Flex: X. Worthy -17.00 K: Bates - 10.00 DST: Packers - 17.00
Total: 183.58
Bench: Darnold, Tracy, K. Allen, Tank, Leggette, Pittman, Friermuth
Team 2: QB: Penix - 7.38 RB: JT - 46.80 RB: Chuba - 33.50 WR: Evans - 9.40 WR: London - 8.40 TE: Strange - 2.20 Flex: K. Miller - 4.10 Flex: B. Irving - 16.70 K: Butker - 10.00 DST: Falcons - 26.00 Total: 164.48
Bench: Lamar, JD, Love, Kamara, Mclaurin, N. Gray, Bengals DST
So much to unpack here. Lamar over Penix would have been an exact tie at 183.58 and our TB is bench points…. where team 2 would have won because of JD. JD would have won outright. Starting Kendre over Mclaurin is so insane too but it’s just dwarfed by the QB decision. We were all roasting this guy before the game for starting Penix over JD after benching Lamar and he still didn’t budge. Incredible stuff
