My team is doing awesome... except Cam Newton has put up 36 points.

Seriously?

Mmm three rushing TDs from my QB. Ridiculosity. Need all the points I can get since I'm looking at the wild card despite most points in the league 
I actually would have taken care of it, but thanks for the assist. League integrity!

I just want to say I have had the worst luck of any team this year. Injuries to every player, an insane SOS, and at least 12 people to go for 25+ points against me...
but I digress... head to the Fantasy StatTracker chat!

Um.... It's been known he'd play since late Friday/early Saturday.

Funny how that worked out so terribly despite all of the hoopla. Would have ultimately been better taking the donut from Bradford.
The Forte injury dictated a lot of that scenario. No way can Hanie manage an offense without his key safety valve.
Forte going down was a patented double whammy for the Commish's playoff prospects.
My superstar bench has collectively put up 86.60 points today.
I keep willing Cundiff to miss field goals but he finally connected with one.
Hey if the outcome didn't affect me, I'd have overruled them and started Grossman :\

Really disappointing football day for me. Went to the Bears game an watched them completely fail in every way possible. Then My playoff bound NQ team decides to shit the bed as well. Blount was up against the WORST RUN DEFENSE in the NFL and managed 1.9 points. Easily Bush's worst game in 5 weeks. So much for the playoffs. I am most likely done for in the economy league as well. Sigh.

Yeah, there's really no good way to spin today's events for you. At least it looks like Forte may only be out a couple weeks so the Bears may still be able to recover.
Still quite the run in fantasy with 8 straight wins. Shame it looks like you came up short at the last possible second.
I can't fathom how Blount wound up with only 1.9 points, either. Especially with Freeman out. Raheem Morris needs to be fired.
He was trying to tank to avoid H&B (and Rodgers) round 1. It doesn't affect anyone else's chances so I don't care lol
edit: If this holds, he gets GaG who has a better team overall IMO. Karma!

Kevin Smith injured again. Truly injuries were the only thing preventing him from scoring 40 points tonight.
Looks like I need 30 apiece from Gates and Floyd, then I'm in!
EDIT: Wait he's back? KEVIN SMITH FOR 40 IS BACK ON!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Horrible day
Got blown out in one league...Blount,Turner and Ryan deciced to take a week off
Another league got outscored(Scam and Gronk beat me)
Other one I won by default. Playing against last place team and he gave up

I actually wouldn't mind playing Hookers And Blow. I did beat him last week if you'll recall. Still will if Ember Island Players topples PrimeTime. In which case, my lineup decisions will have only changed my final position from 4th to 5th... effectively meaningless.
The fantasy gods don't tend to favor teams that deliberately play less than optimal lineups but that's fine. I like tempting fate.

No reason for me to hate the GaG matchup, either.
My team has outscored Rinker's team every week since Week 7 and would have this week as well had I not benched Gronk, Wallace and Rice.
I would still feel a whole lot better if Run DMC was active.
That's the matchup I'd least like to confront given how I gave him Reggie Bush and Holmes for what has amounted to a useless benchwarmer before the trade deadline.Also, if I somehow win, H&B drops to the 6th seed. That means UberTank plays EIB in round one
If there's a karma matchup for me to lose, that's the one.
Well, I'm down 38 with 4 guys left. I'd be confident but Chargers offense has been shitastic the last month or so. I can't believe I left Garcon (27pts) on the bench and that's gonna cost me a playoff spot. I think I've started him every week except this one -_-
ps: Forte injury certainly didn't help either..

Sounds like you guys have done a lot of the math already but here's the recap anyway...
WEEK 13 ADJUSTED MATCHUP PROJECTIONS (after the Lions-Saints game)
COMPLETED MATCHUPS
(2) Dinner Out - 102.38 - finishes regular season at 9-4
Rooks - 53.96 - finishes regular season at 4-9
Puddles of Below Avg - 69.92 - finishes regular season at 6-7
(4) Long Island Broskis - 47.06 - finishes regular season at 7-6
ONGOING MATCHUPS (projected winners highlighted in bold)
(1) FirstPlaceLoser - 137.46
The Big Blue Crew 3 - 89.62
(3) Good As Gould - 83.60
(8) TD's 'N Beer - 65.62
While it's still sound to project a win for Rinker in this contest, this isn't quite a done deal just yet. minx88 needs 26.62 points out of Vincent Jackson tomorrow night and thankfully for him he's the kind of player who can produce that being in an extremely one-dimensional passing offense. VJax has exceeded this total twice already this season - in Week 2 against the Patriots and in Week 9 against the Packers.
Unfortunately, those teams are both in the bottom 3 in the league for coughing up points to opposing wide receivers whereas the Jaguars are 2nd best. They average 14.89 points allowed/game to the entirety of opposing teams' wide receiver arsenals. This defense is untested, however, since losing William Middleton (their top cornerback) to injured reserve after their Week 12 contest against the Titans.
(5) Hookers And Blow - 64.86 * TOO CLOSE TO CALL *
Peyton's Creaky Neck - 61.81
The Commish has put his team at the mercy of the Chargers offense for the duration of the season so it's only fitting his playoff fate comes down to tomorrow night's contest. If they finally get in sync, he's certainly got the weapons to overcome the 37.66 deficit Hookers has built. It's very beatable. The Catch-22 is that if San Diego's offense flourishes to an exceptional degree tomorrow night it may inadvertently help TD's 'N Beer to win as well - which would also sink Cloudy's team even if he wins. An effective but well-balanced offensive attack is what he needs to hope for.
(6) PrimeTime - 87.88
(7) Ember Island Players - 79.42
Sumidor is now projected to win this matchup. The Chargers have been run on fairly easily of late and MJD has been the most consistent RB in all of football apart from Arian Foster. GCQuinton's lead stands at 7.64 points - MJD's lowest fantasy output all season long has been 8.40 points.
The fate of the Ember Island Players lies entirely on San Diego selling out to stop the run by stacking the box and forcing Gabbert to dare to beat them under the bright lights & exposure of his first prime time contest.
Ku Klux Klams - 93.10
Romo Wittenhispants - 73.91
acksman needs the Jaguars defense to remain stout despite losing Middleton and to force the Chargers into numerous sacks and turnovers. Even a defensive score would help. He could also use a mistake-free effort from Gabbert in the first game of the post-Del Rio era and for MJD to batter San Diego's defensive front. Otherwise, this 20-point deficit will not be overcome.
mr2xxx remains the projected winner despite the Hanie debacle as the Jags D/ST has not outscored the Chargers D/ST by 20 points all season long.
Bail Kings (NeoGAF) - 102.86
Sinistar - 72.10
The defending champs have done all they can this week. Crazymoogle just needs to wait out tomorrow's game to see whether he winds up in 7th, 8th or 9th. If the Chargers dominate and help Cloudy and GCQuinton overcome their matchup deficits, he could still find himself on the outside looking in.
The playoff matchups for next week presently shape up as follows:
1. FirstPlaceLoser (9-4)
8. Bail Kings (NeoGAF) (6-7) - 1139.98 Points For
2. Dinner Out (9-4)

Your Economy League team has been in beast mode the past two weeks, Alex.
The only way I squeeze into the playoff picture is with a win next week over Knights of Mars while I also need The Sexy Rexs to lose to The Machine. Otherwise, I'm done.
So I was thinking about something earlier today.
Suppose you have a choice between Player A and Player B. Somehow a genie has allowed you to know exactly what these two players will score on the season.
Player A is going to score either 30 points or 1 point for the entire season, which is 14 games, for a total of 217. You won't know whether it'll be 30 or 1 prior to any given game.
Player B is going to score 14 points in every single game, for a total of 196.
Who do you take?

I find it somewhat ironic that with all of my focus on Broncos that have previously won that silly Prius Game Changer medal that the one player who would have pulled that trick off for me this week was... another Bronco.
In this case Demaryius Thomas. Projected for 2.34 points. Finished the day with 26.4 points.
Starting wide receiver against the 2nd worst defense against opposing WRs. Figures it would have to be someone who I've owned & started before. Really hard to buy into the guy coming off the previous week where he had no fantasy points off a single target and inaccurate Tebow throwing to him.

I think Tebow had his season (maybe career?) high for passing yards in an NFL game this week though, right?

Well I've made the playoffs in my league, 3rd seed, but I'm not confident of my chances. What's so heartbreaking, is that I threw this year away, as my originally drafted team would've walked into the playoffs 1st seed, and likely had a great chance to win.
One, I inexplicably dropped AJ Green after week 1, for a reason I don't even remember, which was idiotic. And the other, was a trade I discussed with UberTag after the fact, which has bit me in the ass badly. Ryan Mathews and Dwayne Bowe for Peyton Hillis, made after week 1. Yeah. Ouch.
Not to mention I've sustained injuries to Jahvid Best, Fred Jackson and Sidney Rice, it's amazing I even made 3rd seed.
Still, such a heartbreaking season for me.
