Just picked him up and dropped Travis Benjamin. Worth a shot at least.

If you have a Week 17 championship and Jackson both gets touches and looks competent this week then MAYBE you start him in the finals in a pinch.

No way in hell I would ever consider playing him in Week 16 though.

What the hell do I do with Rodgers next week? I'm happy to still get to care, but Rodgers @ Arizona is not what I want to ride. Tyrod v Dallas is almost certainly better, yeah?

WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN
If OBJ misses a game then I gotta slide Michael Floyd in, which is okay I guess.

Not looking forward to deciding on an RB2 + Flex out of the following guys on my bench:

Hightower (A happy YES if he gets fed again this week)
McFadden (Dude keeps putting up respectable 10-12 pt games..)
Gore (getting fed, but looking bad)
Draughn (fed.. on a bad team, maybe an injury?)
Bolden (risky even without Stephen Jackson signing)
D Robinson (drop this week if Yeldon comes back)

All the Seahawks are out there. Of course, Woodhead got scooped up after I dropped him this week and then put up 33 pts. gently caress San Diego's coaches.

It's a gamble, no doubt. Any Patriots RB is. But Tom Brady also needs someone to throw to, Jackson can catch passes, and I have Brady. Beats gnashing my teeth watching Lacy.

I should be playing in the championship next week but no my commish changing it to an 8 team playoff (he was the 5 seed, HMMMMM) means I have to get through next week AND somehow win the garbage week that is week 17

Oh well, still won the regular season with both the most points scored and fewest points against, that's pretty funny

I have Bortles ready to go bananas on the Saints except he has Hurns, gently caress me

If OBJ is suspended I guess I'd have to start Sammy Watkins in his place. Shouldn't be a bad replacement, he's had a good few weeks in a row.

My opponent needs Drew Brees and Megatron to combine for 135 points tonight to beat me!

I'm knocked out of one playoff, through in another, and in my 3rd and most important need 28 from Hightower and Megatron. Unlikely but possible enough that I've been tense all day...

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.
So I made the second round of the playoffs in all 6 of my leagues (3 via bye weeks, 3 by winning the first playoff round), by far my best season of FF ever. 4 of my teams are already out of it, a fifth need Stafford and Tate to literally do nothing, and the only team I have that is going to make the championship game has OBJ in it. gently caress FF.

Ah poo poo. I need Megatron, Cooks, and Prater to score 58 points in .5PPR with bonuses AND THEN out score Golden Tate. I think I'm hosed.

Exactly, you know what's going on. This has been a week of 'that's fantasy!'. My playoff loss was my ridiculously stacked team that was only beaten once all season. The one that got through was in the league I accidentally joined and got auto drafted, and early on I dropped what turned out to be the best pick the auto draft made in freeman. In the league in limbo, I've already outscored everybody in the league this week... Except my opponent.

Even if OBJ gets suspended he will likely appeal, pushing his suspension back by long enough that he could play Week 16.

why do so many of you people have such shitheads in charge of your leagues

We need a manifesto for next years OP

1. Make sure the commissioner is not a shithead

3. Don't play in 10-12 man leagues where 8 teams make the playoffs
4. Don't allow votes for trade vetoes, have the commissioner do it (this is contingent on making sure #1 is fulfilled
5. Waiver systems: FAAB > rolling list > weekly reset > nothing
6. Everyone pays fees before the draft
7. Use fractional points

#12 was going to be an issue for me because I was taking on the manager of my division in my office... Until David Johnson. Dodged a bullet I guess?

To add:
13. If your league is fewer than 10 people, 2 QBs.
14. Rule changes BEFORE THE DRAFT or not at all. If they are for a keeper league, announce before the draft to go into effect the next season.
15. Give the consolation bracket something to play for

Same for me.

Pretty sure I'm going to be in the finals, my opponent only needs 103 points from Hightower and Johnson. (Opponent went 11-2 behind Stewart, Rawls, Dalton, and picked up Yates to replace Dalton...).

Do you think he'd do that and risk being out for a conference game in week 17 or a possible playoff game? Giants kinda need to win out, but the game against the eagles is still kinda more important.

Apparently he is indeed appealing but they're going to do an expedited hearing so it will be decided before Week 16.

If I had to guess I'd say they uphold the suspension. :doh:

If they don't uphold the suspension I'll be shocked. I mean he went head to head after a defenseless player AFTER the play was over.
