Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score. Glad to have you hanging out with us today. Fantasy semifinals, they're kicking off tonight. We've got the Saints and the Rams going at it. And I know you have a lot of questions too, because we've got a ton of them sent in this week. So let's get to it. At Aaron Avazian, how do you handle your bench for the playoffs? Do you only stash high upside running backs or do you balance with some high upside wide receivers or tight ends?

Thanks.

Well, thank you for the question, Aaron.

I talked about this a little bit on yesterday's show and how I'm approaching my benches for the fantasy playoffs.

Hopefully you check that out. I think you can get a little insight from that.

I don't really have a general rule that fits like all teams and all situations.

It really depends on your starting lineup and where your weaknesses are to be more specific.

Because if you're strong across the board, then I would lean towards those high upside running backs because they have the most value to gain.

Right. If an injury happens to the

starter on their team, all of a sudden, we've seen these guys come out of nowhere and potentially

even win fantasy leagues for you. And we know volume alone can make fantasy stars out of those

backup running backs in the right scenario. So for me, I normally build my teams in a way where

that RB2 spot is the weak link on my team and I'm

trying to spend all year solving that problem by you know getting late round picks that I think could

explode during the season or you know picking up guys off the waiver wire and being really

aggressive there and trying to find the answer but I do have one team that comes to mind where

I've had a bunch of receiver injuries some of the shots that I took in the draft, they didn't pan out.

So my wide receiver three spot on that team, that's the weakness. And in that instance, I still have a couple upside running backs, of course, but I'm also using a couple bench spots on upside wide receivers in hopes that I can just hit on the right one at the right time and that a guy's going

to get hot here and become a strong starter for me over the last couple weeks. So the default,

I would say, is stashing upside running backs. But if you have a weakness at wide receiver,

I'd be stashing some receivers as well. And I normally don't stash quarterbacks or tight ends,
