Ask me about sitting Danny Woodhead for Lamar Miller in not one, but two leagues.

Started Miller and Ivory over Woodhead in one, and Lacy and Hightower over Woodhead in the other. Goddamn. But that would've been a huge leap of faith to start Woodhead, he's been invisible lately.

So I'm getting 500 or 1.5k depending on if I win this weekend. This is a work league and I got pulled in by one of the family in a family business as the guy who can get his team there (obviously worked so far) but the problem is this: I'm facing the boss.

Made it to the 'ship in one league, and the final round of the consolation bracket in the other (winner gets first choice of draft position next year). Not too shabby.

In the championship in 2 leagues, bombed out this week in the other league that I was 13-1 in to a guy that had his best week all year. Oh well.

Guaranteed at least $150 in my money league, $350 if I win.

Other league I'm in the finals in is a 2 QB league. I had the first pick and drafted Luck, and my other QB was Brees. I'm now riding Brees/Osweiler to victory! I had a week or two of Hasselbeck/Osweiler I think, it was bad.

Trading for Megatron earlier in the season because of this exact juicy playoff matchup did not work well. At all!

Not winning any money this year, but made four playoffs in five leagues, missed the cutoff of the fifth by three points, and I am in the final round for two of them. Can't complain too much about that.

Made the finals in 2 of my 3 leagues! :) Own OBJ in both! :(

There's no way his suspension is overturned. The only hope was that he got to play while waiting for his hearing.

So I made the finals but the other semifinal game was up in the air - dude was down 6.7 with only Tim Hightower to go. The last 18 yard play of the game was the decider - they were tied up at that point and the tiebreaker in our league in the playoffs is bench points. Holy poo poo I feel bad for that guy.

Made the finals in one league, just sent a prize split offer to my opponent since his team looks way better than mine. Here's hoping!

edit: I play Russell Wilson (vSTL) over Blake Bortles (@NO), correct? Wilson has been ridiculously lately but Bortles' has an extremely good matchup. I think the fact that my opponent is starting Robinson/Hurns at WR is messing with my ability to make an objective decision (I know it shouldn't matter).

Even worse is the fact that he would have won if he just didn't start a D/ST at all.

Latavius Murray vs SD
Charmander vs Cle

I'd go Charmander. You never know how many carries they'll bother giving Miller, and Murray's been nothing special.

Murray gets the volume though and has a great matchup against SD this week. It's a tough call between him and Charmander I think.

I'm semi-confidently starting Murray this week.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
I was down 6 points with Matt Prater left to play. The Lions scored 35 godamn points and Prater hit 5 extra points and loving missed his only field goal attempt.

I made the title game in my big money league! $2500 on the line. Only problem is my starting RB's are McCoy and Lacy. I've got Hightower and Mathews as backups. Hopefully I can grab Karlos Williams off waivers. I have a better waiver priority than my opponent, so I just have to hope an eliminated team doesn't grab him.

MacheteZombie
Feb 4, 2007
I'm leaning Murray or Charmander over Miller myself. Ware coming back worries me, and LMurray has been pretty lackluster and hasn't gotten passing work in weeks.

All 3 have good matchups. Does the fact that LMurray's game is Thursday change any ones' mind?

I'm in the championship bracket and I'm going to get my rear end handed to me:


I'm likely going to pick up the kicker they're recommending, but it absolutely breaks my heart that the best available DST is Houston. They're doing alright, but nothing like what he's got. I've got the waivers available, would it be smart to go through all three recommendations and pick them up?

Who is your favorite QB to go off from this grouping:
Bridgewater @ NYG
Cousins @ PHI
Bradford @ WAS

I think all three are decent streaming options but I can't decide who I want. I have Cousins and he helped to get me to the finals but the other guy has Desean and I think I'd rather gamble that he has a bad game on the road and pray that reflects on Desean.

Cousins has been an elite quarterback the last few games. The only reason I'm not starting him is BORTLE KOMBAT.

Also gently caress me for trading away Latavius Murray. I would kill to start him over the shitshow options of Bryce Brown, Ryan Matthews, and Brandon Bolden.

Pick a RB and a Flex in a half PPR:

Brandon Bolden (@NYJ)
Bryce Brown (StL)

I am in a bit of a pickle for Championship week. My dynasty league only allows 25 waiver moves a season, I'm at 24. So with my last waiver move do I upgrade my Kicker or Defense?

I posted that way before I started posting in the TFF thread and I like to think i've been pretty honest about not liking what OBJ did.

He's right though, it's pretty much coming off as "You know how Beckham was a crybaby bitch and cheapshotted Norman with a vicious, dangerous helmet to helmet hit? Well did you consider maybe... he deserved it?"

If my league hadn't been changed at the last second, I'd be in the championship game against a dude whose QB is Brees, #1 WR is Beckham, and is probably going to have to start Lacy this week

I'm a Giants fan and I lost a lot of respect for ODB. He absolutely deserves the suspension. He could have ended Norman's career with that hit. Both players were acting equally childish up to that point, but he completely lost control there, and you just can't do that. It was an absolutely shameful display. Honestly I'm surprised Coughlin didn't bench him.

Hey guys, check out my awesome team on the left. Miraculously playing for the championship, I'm terrified of his WRs, as I have 2 of the 3 starting in my main league championship (Brown and Alshon).



Started 5-1, ended 8-6 and knocked out the 1 seed last week with this lineup:



With a flex of Bryce Brown, oh boy.

Lost Keenan Allen, Ingram, and Dalton so far this season. And cut Baldwin before the bye, great move on my part.

I think I'm going to start the Steelers D over the Bengals this week. The Broncos defense is going to get them so many chances with a short field against AJ freaking McCarron, meanwhile I feel like the Steelers should be able to stop Jimmy Clausen

The only other halfway decent options I see on the wire are the Raiders against SD and maybe Buffalo against Dallas
