Welp. Turns out the wrong call was sitting Newton. One more point to Hopkins and game over.

Amazing week though.

My overreliance on Washington has hosed me. If I squeak by with this 3 point lead, I will not feel good about my odds in the finals.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
In one league I'm curbstomping everyone's score in the semis which of course means I'm going to score literally zero points in the finals

Woop gonna go ahead and assume Olsen+Crowder won't score 30 pts in the next 10 minutes. Got guaranteed $350 between making the finals in both my leagues!

Oh no no no, I am going to wildly overreact and bench them all. Although it's not like my other options are really indefensible anyway.

Holy poo poo I am in the championship game next week and guaranteed at least $400.

Considering how I entered the playoffs at the 5th seed with a record of 7-6, this is loving crazy. Especially when I was 1-5 for the first six weeks of the season.

My week 16 lineup

6 out of 9 are week 1 starters.

I'm down by 5 in a two week game. I'm hoping to win, since it would make the final between myself (#8 seed) and the #7 seed (he's up by 70 or so). Neither of us had a winning record in the regular season. :mmmhmm:

Playing my first game in another league after a first round bye.

Was eliminated last week in my 3rd league.

That 5 points I was down? Still down 5 after we tied the second week. :smithicide:

Gonna win the championship in my second league, but dang, that 5 points stings. Tinkering at quarterback hosed me.

My team, which has murdered all comers all year, was all set to lose tonight. My studs took a poo poo or were hurt. I had a trivial lead with my JStew vs his Gano, Crowder, and Olsen. Welp.

I won by 0.2 due to fumbles and missed FGs. Literally took the lead on the last meaningful play of the game. I take it all back, thread. Fantasy football is an ok hobby.

Until next week anyway

Ended up not even needing Cooks to win, coulda got zero from him.

Now I get to play the guy that didn't draft a RB until the 7th round but somehow managed to end up with Devonta. :iiam: :catdrugs:

Default is the higher seeded team advances, so that frequently could end up being PF since that's the default way to determine seeding IIRC.

All the ways to determine tiebreakers kind of suck but I think highest seed is still one of the worst ones.

On to the semis.

I have a lot of questions this week but I'll start with a TE question.

It's smart, yes, to start Brate over Ertz at TE when a.) my opponent is playing Winston and b.) Ertz plays on a Thursday night game?

Goddamn just watched the Reed play where he was ejected. What a loser. Everyone is doing the "throw flag" hand motion and he's bouncing around in a punching defensive stance like he's a loving street brawl. I hope he has to sit for the rest of the season.

Eeked out a .7 point victory in one league, praying for no stat corrections. To make up for it, I lost by 20 in my big money league because I sat loving Ty Montgomery and his 31 points.

I narrowly (.6) scraped out a win this week with Cooper and Williams at WR. I have Matthews on the bench, but that's about it. Thomas, Britt and Jeffrey are all on the wire (somehow). What's the best bet here?

Well, looks like the dick bag who's won the league the last two years is going for a 3 peat. I'm not bitter. I just wish his dick falls off and he's in the hospital and unable to set his lineup.

I went 10-3 and then lost my first two playoff games. Lol

Good question, I'm in a similar boat but KC instead of your Denver. Thursdays are generally shitshows, play-wise, but have they been good for fantasy defenses?

Defense question

Go with
NYG @ PHI
Green Bay vs MIN
San Diego @ CLE

Also is Forte droppable, if so which two should I grab to block my opponent?

All seem like pretty solid options but can't figure out which one is my best bet

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
In the money in 3/4 of my leagues and the only league I didn't make the playoffs in was the one where no money was on the line. :feelsgood:

That being said, I'm not feeling too good about either of my championship match-ups. I have a sneaking suspicion that Julio is going to be the deciding factor in each. I hope he plays and throws down 30 but it seems equally if not more likely that he plays as a decoy.

Sounds like Dallas clinches home field/first round bye with a Giants loss on Thursday? If that happens, is Zeke likely to get rested?

This doesn't say too much, but my guess is that Jerry is too up his own rear end to rest Zeke, especially considering that Dickerson's record is in reach.
