Well I was gonna win but now I'm up against Baldwin who nobody decided to cover this weekend. Now I need AJ Green to be held to 12 or fewer points tomorrow.

I'm hosed.

The gently caress?

I mean... I guess your leagues could have some weird scoring where people score 3x as much as usual. Otherwise this kinda felt like a long winded way to say -I've clinched a win in three leagues-

Or is there some platitude im not grasping?

I've more or less clinched a win in two leagues that I don't care about. In both of those leagues, I have Gio. In one if them, I'm going against Eli.


In a goon league that I actually care about, I'm only up 20 16.5 and I have Eli and one of his guys is Gio. He also has one of Eli's WRs, so if Eli has a big game, he's probably going to be a beneficiary, which makes Gio's score that much more of a factor.

If Gio has a big game, it can only hurt me because I'm already up so big in the two leagues I have him and am close in the one league I'm going against him. I need Eli to have a big game so I can win in GoonTier, but if he has some astronomical 500 yard 5 TD game, it could make me lose in one of my public leagues.

The clearest path for 3-0 is for Eli to score like 20-40 points and for Gio to put up less than 10.




tl;dr: if Eli scores like 25-30 and Gio/Shepard each score 20-30, I could lose the goon league while getting Gio points in two leagues that I already have locked up. If Gio lays an egg and Eli drops 50, I'll win the goon league handily and hold first place, but then I'm going to get Monday nighted in a public league that I was up by a shitload

OH MY GOD I WON A GAME!

Was up 9 and my opponent had Gostkowski and C-Mike left. Just assumed I was hosed because that's the story of my season.

Just beat the top team in the league. :laugh:

Went 7-0 in one league and have now lost 3 in a row. In my work league my team really looked like it was turning a corner and then nope right back to shitsville. This season has been a fucker.

Last year was me coming out of my fantasy football retirement. The reason I went in was the year I started 6-0 and finished 6-7.

Fantasy Football is masochism.

who else coached themselves out of a victory?

triple dipped on the packers with rodgers, cobb, and montgomery, and started the falcons defense.

that 24 on my bench from jeremy hill and the broncos defense looks nice.

Sure. If I'd started Manning and Powell over Palmer and Hightower, I'd have won. Another game I only lost by three, because I started Ty Montgomery instead of Tyrell Williams... and also because my opponent didn't start a D/ST, while their Cowboys on the bench got -3.
