Cmon Payton, be a prick and throw it deep for a touchdown.

HOLY SHIT INGRAM, I LEAD BY 0.14.

DON'T THROW IT TO BENNETT, LET THIS GAME END

Whew, no passes to Bennett, get this ball and end it
 
Went into this down 11 with Alshon and graham going and my opponent done. Good lord did they make that more stressful than it needed to be

Praise be to garbage time
 
Down 56 had Cutler, Jeffery, and Ingram. Came up just short damn. That ball off Jordy's hands yesterday ended up costing me.

Won $76 my first time playing draft kings so there is that.
 
Went to bed with 2 minutes left in the game down 7 points with Cutler fucking killing me. I hear the game still on in the living room and hear the Bears driving. That bullshit, meaningless TD won me a spot in the finals by ONE FREAKING POINT! Holy shit. I went from looking at $300 or nothing to being guaranteed $600 with a chance at $1200. I cannot believe that shit just fucking happened.
 
I had Bennett and my opp had Cutler with like a 5 point lead and Cutler was so bad that at one point in the 3rd quarter I took the lead by like a fraction of a point. I kept busting my friends balls about how they were going to bench Cutler and he was raging. Good times.

See... this is the kind of big money fantasy league action GAF needs.
None of this small potatoes $65 buy-in crap.

I'm in 3 leagues this year and it looks like I have a very good shot to reach the finals in all 3. I'm ahead in two of my matchups. In the one I'm behind in, I need Jimmy Graham and Mark Ingram to combine for 21 points and I'll win.

That garbage time Ingram TD got me into the finals by 0.3 points!!

Still gonna lose because of DeMarco though. :(

Lol Ingram seemed to make or break a lot of teams. Is Murray definitely out? Randle has to be on waivers.

Randle doesn't have to be on waivers... although any savvy Murray owner should have made a point of handcuffing him for the playoff run.
 
Well despite having pretty much no QB for weeks now (Foles was my lone QB for much of the year- ended up with Sanchez and Manziel), I made it to the championship game with a 145 pt performance this week!

Big question comes next week...do I play Sanchez or Manziel...the only other options Dalton, Orton, Shaun Hill, Carr, Bridgewater?

Rest of team is pretty solid...thinking of starting: Thomas, Beckham, Julio Jones, Mark Ingram, Jeremy Hill, Rob Gronkowski, Lamar Miller...

I have a pretty deep bench with Josh Gordon, Latavius Murray, Dan Herron, Marquess Wilson and Harry Douglas....would you swap any of these guys with my starters?

Thanks all!
 
GL to everyone still in it.


So I was on a big winstreak and with every victory, I would post the yahoo recap on my opponent's facebook wall. Every week without fail I'd do it. All season long I'd have people in our league telling me that they cant wait to beat me so they could do the same to me. Well.. I finally lost (in the semi's of course) and I get a text from my buddy who beat me this morning, "Eddie you lil bitch. you made it so I cant post on ur fb wall."

lol
 
And one last terrible QB choice for the finals.

The more reliable but rarely spectacular Wilson against Arizona. Or bet on Sanchez managing a good game against the pathetic Washington.
 
So going into Week 16 I have a choice to start either Sanchez vs Washington or Tannehill vs Minnesota.

I played Sanchez this past week and the results were...underwhelming. But I made it through. But this is the SuperBowl. I'm not trying to barely win.

Halp?
 
10 team league and no playoff. So, I still have 2 games left. I'm 7-8 and have a shot of getting outright 3rd place due to my season point total. I would've been out of the playoffs with no shot at money but I'm on a winning streak riding Lacy, L. Bell, Matty Ice and Bills D.

Ugh. Everyone keeps saying this. Why? I'm kinda confused since his points last week sucked.

Washington is terrible. His last two weeks, Sanchez played Seattle who has come around this year and the Cowboys who were out for blood. This week, he gets Washington who pretty much everyone just destroys these days, so I'm sure people are basing it off of that.

But Wilson already put up numbers against Arizona this year so there's that. You could basically flip a coin though if I had to guess, the most you'll see there is some miniscule difference in points that likely won't matter in the end. I don't see Wilson dropping 40 and Sanchez having 6 for instance. Tough spot though.

Damn. Alright, I'll bench Tannehill and go with Sanchez.

Same reason I am leaning towards using Sanchez. Washington sucks more than he does.

Heh.
 
My QB options are

Roethlisberger vs KC
Orton @Oakland


KC is p good but so is home ben
Orton is not as good but neither is oakland

I could pick up sanchez too but I trust him less than I trust colt mccoy


ugh

Dont think it even matters, he has rodgers who is gonna put up like 75 after last weeks performance
 
Reached the finals on the backs of some foresight and inspired D/ST choices, snatching up the Rams and Ravens prior to Week 12, to play the them in 13-15. Two playoff rounds, each lasts two weeks.

Now I'm staring down the top seed and highest scorer, and I've got a post-surgery Demarco and a newly re-gimped Rashad Jennings. Already dumped Jerick McKinnon, so my RB depth is rough. I'm targeting Gerhart and the Dallas backups but being waiver wire cashpoor is going to make this difficult. Also put in a bid for the Pats D/ST to try and get the best possible matchup.

EDIT: Ah shit. The third place matchup snagged Gerhart and Randle. I'm left with Dunbar and Shonn Greene.

Sidenote: last day of the season is December 28th. I'm getting married December 28th. Opponent is a groomsmen. I must crush him.
 
From Rotoworld:

DeMarco Murray (hand) participated in Wednesday's practice.

Murray had his left (non-dominant) hand wrapped after breaking it last Sunday, but went through all of the individual drills and caught some passes out of the backfield. We believe Murray is going to try and play Week 16 against the Colts with the Cowboys having a chance at home-field advantage for the playoffs.

All right!
 
Help me GAF.

I'm in a pretty deep .5 PPR league, 12-team, playing in the championship game despite my QB having been Jay Cutler. Now that he got himself benched, I'm in a bit of a bind, especially because my opponent saw Wednesday night before me, and picked up most viable options. I'm now left to decide between Clausen, McCown, Orton, Manziel, Hill, Keenum, Bridgewater, and Carr, none of which seems very appealing. We were pretty evenly matched up till this, though I did get Randle from the Murray owner and am hoping that works out!
 
For the third place game me and my friend decided to split the money. We also decided to each start a kicker from last nights game and then choose a flex for each other. He picked me cj2k and I picked him Jonas Gray. Everyone else got benched.

It's not in the spirit of the game. Go ahead and split the money privately, but don't throw the game. It's disrespectful to the other league members.

Can't bring myself to see it that way. It's the 3rd place game, and there's nothing disrespectful about having some fun with it.

The spirit of the game is fun.

Why do they have to bench players? Just play the game the way it's meant to be played and do the cash deal on the side. They're not having "fun" by starting a shit team on purpose.
 
Next year both of our team's have keepers in rounds 1 and 2, so either way it'll be fine. I really don't see anyone in our league getting mad over it. They all found it funny that the first and second seeds are battling for third place with opposing kickers and running backs.
 
Welp, with Edelman not playing tomorrow now (didn't travel with the team) I really need Julio to suit up. I'm doa without both of them.

And there better be no nonsense in the Pats-Jets game!

Reposting because fuck I'm screwed.
 
PPR League, Sanders is Questionable Monday with the flu and has been trending down last 3 weeks:

Golden Tate vs Bears, Lafell vs Jets, Roddy White vs Saints or stick with Sanders vs Bengals?
