FYI: On the Overall Standings page in the game there is a link to Consolation Total and Consolation Week 14/15/16. STATS said the Week 14 values are updated now.

Crazy...

Well, in any event, I'm sure either one will outscore Plummer's Week 14 production.

[/QUOTE]McNair out, Billy "Big Arm" Volek is on tap. Agreed KoQ - nothing ventured, nothing gained but thank heavens I didn't waiver at the last second and plug in Plummer to be 'safe'

There's a lesson to be learned here. Pay attention.

I recorded all of the lineups as of 12 noon EST yesterday. Interestingly, almost every lineup change made between 12 noon and gametime resulted in lost points. So as not to embarrass anyone, I don't want to get into specific examples. However, some of these last minute changes resulted in **significant** (greater than 15 point) reductions.

Lesson learned? Go with your first instinct, and never look back.

[/QUOTE]No brainer... the Chefs can't cook up a pass defense that quickly and Plummer has been a top 5 QB going into this week. I still need Bettis to break his friggin' leg, though - taking way too many points from Duce.
