Hey Dan, curious about something. This game in real life Timmy Newsome ran 12 times, out of his entire 13 carries in 1981. Did you consider getting Timmy the carries in this game or do you just consider his season avg of .8 and say, no thanks?
Joe, I don’t have a hard and fast rule for guys like Newsome. I do try to have the same starters as the actual game. I think I missed that Newsome got most of his carries in that one game. Sometimes I will catch that type of thing. He has gotten 6 carries on the year so far and I will try to get him his full 13 carries even though he had such a poor average.
Thanks for the reply. I similarly don’t have a rule for this. I have a team-by-team list of who is out certain weeks, who moves where in trades and what QB starters change. I happened to notice in my notes that I have a line to key Newsome for that week. Dallas only has two lines, Carano starts Week 14 and Newsome gets played big in Week 13.

How far along are you in your replay?
I’m in a 1976 replay, week 11. 1981 is on deck, so I’m immersed in prep for it when I have free time. Almost as much fun as playing.
