Officially 9 teams in my 14 teamer that are now 6-6. Only 5 of them are going to make the playoffs. I'd like my odds a lot better of Charmander were to sit out again this week so that I could start Ware.

WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN
Final week of the regular season. Playoff spot is secured but I need the 2nd place team to lose and another match to finish in a tie in order to get a 1st round bye. Isn't gonna happen- especially not with fractional points.


I considered tanking for match-up, but possibly finishing 1st in points and seeing my team in the League History with two consecutive entries for "Season Performance" would be way cooler.

There's a good chance of me making the playoffs in my $100 league at 6-8 :)

Also I have the most points scored in the league! Over 200 points more than the second highest scoring team. Ahh fantasy...

How hot garbage is this trade currently pending in my dynasty?

TEAM A GETS:
Adrian Peterson

TEAM B GETS:
David Johnson

2nd Round Pick (most likely late)

I could make the playoffs in my main league at 6-7 if I win big next week and 3 other teams lose to make them 6-7 or worse

I'm in the lovely position of actually being first overall (second in PF) but... my team just kind of limped into that position. Everyone else is having a killer back half of the season and I basically will fall in the second round (first round bye)

Who's more droppable?

Andre Ellington (turf toe) or Rishard Matthews (chest/ribs)

I shouldn't need either of them but I don't want to drop a potential puzzle piece to another team either.

Rishard Matthews has multiple fractured ribs and is out indefinitely.

Ellington if and when he gets healthy should split the load with David Johnson as CJ2k is out now.

I'd drop Matthews. Although they are both probably gonna be useless for rest of fantasy.

He's gotta keep up his reputation as possibly the most injury prone player in the NFL.His competition has been pretty stiff this year.

I have only had him for about the last week.

How about this...

I needed ONE more point from Justin Tucker to get into the playoffs. One point. Oh Ravens just scored a game winning TD?!? Awesome! Just need the extra point and I'm in. Oh they're kneeling the ball... :sludgepal:

OK, you win.

Really that kneel-down didn't make logical sense since the Ravens aren't technically eliminated from the playoffs and net points is a tiebreaker (although it's like the 8th one)

I can see why they did it. Having already lost Flacco, Forsett, Steve Smith, and Suggs, who are probably 4 of the top 5 players on the Ravens in terms of importance, with Justin Tucker probably 5th. They probably didn't want to chance it since they didn't need the extra point. They've effectively given up on the season with only a microscopic chance at the playoffs.


But it was still a little weird, possibly they kneeled to get it off quicker just in case another review?

We will probably have two at 6-7 in our 14. We also have four 5-7 teams and all but one has an outside shot of squeaking in.

Sparse waivers, I'm sitting at #2 priority.

I have a clain in for David Johnson, and I'm going to also put one in for Dan Herron. Gore is "beat to crap" according to Pagano and Bradshaw is dead. I think if I don't get Johnson I have to get Herron. sucks to blow a high priority waiver claim on him but it's slim pickins after that. As in literally nothing out there.

Feeling pretty great about having David Johnson after C Johnson and Ellington are out. I think with him and Devonta as my RB, and Antonio Brown and Odell as my WR team (with Tyler lockett as my W/R/T) got a good chacne for a high-scoring Week 13.

So with my revolving door at QB since Luck died, I have the following options:

Hoyer @ Buffalo (only QB on roster)
Alex Smith @ Oak
Tyrod @ Hou
Brock @ SD

Just dropped McCown, NYG def, and CJ2k so have roster spots open
I need to win, or 2 other teams to lose to make the playoffs.
Recommendations?

Hey guys! I'm having a good time, what about you?

Finished this season 2-10 and have been out of playoff contention for weeks now, but at least I've managed to play spoiler. My second win came last week and prevented someone from getting the final playoff spot. I've also been able to snag almost every replacement RB due to reverse standings for waivers. I've had Charcandrick, DeAngelo Williams, Rawls, and Spencer Ware. I will be getting David Johnson this week, and will try getting Draughn as well. I want to make sure that waivers are a wasteland for the playoff teams that remain.

Even if he was still starting, he wouldn't have any value unless you play in a 2 QB league.

couldn't have written it any better - 6 team playoffs, I'm in 7th place, randomly facing the 6th place team this week, the last week of regulation. We're the only teams with 6-6 records, but he's scored 7 points more than me over the season (both 1100+ PF)

Desperately praying Chandler falls to me in our resetting waivers. There's no way I'm getting Johnson. If Chandler isn't available, is Vance the next best pickup? WW options include:

Richard Rodgers
Fleener
Will Tye
Jared Cook
Luke Wilson
Ryan Griffin
Vance

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
Who's the QB add here? I have Tyrod, but I don't like him against Houston D/ST

Fitzpatrick @ NYG
Cutler vs. SF
Osweiler @ SD
Mariota vs. Jac

I need a home run here as I have to win to get into the playoffs.

It's a 12-team superflex. I have Bridgewater and Gabbert. No starting QBs remain on waivers (except for Austin Davis and Matt Cassel I guess). Would one of them be better than Sanchez or Gabbert?

Probably not. I'd drop Sanchez for Manziel since CLE plays SF Week 14. Assuming Manziel starts that game, which no one knows yet.

It looks like Pryor is only QB/WR eligible on Yahoo. Both ESPN and NFL list him as a WR only.

I'll pick him up in the one league I can burn a roster spot, if only because having a starting QB that you can use in an WR slot is awesome.
