Questions about benching a defense that plays a night game are common. I have never seen a question like the one I'm about to ask.
Let's say that because of your league size or your roster construction it doesn't make sense for you to stream a defense. You own a defense whose outlook you like for the rest of the season. On this particular week they play a great offense and are missing some key players on top of that. Because most (or even all) of your other players have early games and most of your opponent's lineup does as well, you will have a sense of what components will decide your matchup by the time afternoon rolls around.
Would you ever decide whether to bench your defense based on how these things are going? Has anyone ever been in such a situation? When I first thought about this, I thought if I have >80% chance of winning or >80% chance of losing I'd go ahead and leave my defense in, and in closer affairs I'd be more loath to leave it in. Then I immediately doubted my logic.
Thoughts?
