Considering Rawls and Collins because surely one of them will have a big game? Week 17 is the worst.

PPR? Rawls and McFadden is what I would do if not.

Man I wouldn't want to be in a league that has championship week in week 17.

1 PPR. Two week championship and I'm up 43.3 so I mostly just need to play it safe and not have any players poo poo the bed.

With Big Ben sitting and Carr dead. I can choose between Matt Moore, Alex Smith, and Landry Jones. Jones seems tempting due to matchup against Cle but without AB and Bell seems risky. Smith seems safer but SD has a good pass rush and we lose points per sack. Moore seems bad due to NE matchup but CBS has him listed as a sleeper option. ESPN projects Jones to be the best but it's Jones-13.6, Smith-12.2, and Moore-11.1, so they're all pretty close.

I want to start Powell against Bufs miserable run defense but he's been sick all week apparently so might be safer to start Blount against Mia. I grabbed Collins in case Rawls was out, but he's apparently fine. Also grabbed McFadden but he's apparently Q right now. I guess maybe Blount is kind of the no brainer safe option.

Also need to pick between Cards vs LA and Chiefs vs SD. Both pretty strong options. KC did poo poo previously this year against SD but it was also week 1.

loving week 17 so stupid.

And I think the worst thing about Powell is that even if he starts the word is he'll "try to play" so if he's recovering from some nasty flu or something he could start and play like poo poo and/or get pulled in the 1st quarter or something.

Week 17 is the worst. In our money/work league I'm in the finals. Against last place who is on an upswing.

Only reason last place is in is because it's a ten team league and the commissioner forgot to change settings from last year (16 team and 10 go to playoffs). So he took a vote before the playoffs and I was the only one that chimed in. I joked I wanted everyone in the playoffs to last place could knock off the number one seed... And lo and behold he did.

But now I face him and if he wins I'll never hear the end of it.

Clay if he isn't locked up. He's still only 39% owned in ESPN but I assume any league playing week 17 he's already rostered. Other than that I got nothing. e: maybe Jared Cook if he isn't rostered and there isn't anything better. He's had a few good games and this is a huge game.

My opponent is currently starting both Clay AND Olsen. In full PPR he's starting an RB (Sproles) and a TE in his two flex spots. If I lose to that, I'm going to be pissed.

Clay is listed as questionable which is killing me. I'm thinking he would be probable if they still had that designation? He's a definite start over Ertz if he's healthy but I need to knowwww man!

Yeah 99% of the time it = good to go.

The only thing that bothers me about Powell's Q designation is the illness aspect and knowing how much lingering illness/weakness could impact production.

If it was standard scoring I'd roll Blount with no concerns but in PPR Powell is so much, much more attractive. If Blount doesn't get 1 or 2 TDs it means he ends up scoring 4-6 points while Powell has put up 27 points without getting in the end zone.

And I'm definitely not starting both of them because it'd mean sitting DJax.

And just like that Clay is listed as active. Why did they get rid of the Probable designation? It was very useful.

I'd probably go Raiders but it's pretty close to a coin flip for me. Last I heard both Lynch and Semen were supposed to play half the game and it'll probably be a sack o rama plus Denver's usual low powered offense. Plus Oakland is actually still potentially playing for something and their defense will undoubtedly need to step up more than usual with McGloin playing.

I left Sean Lee in, ESPN said he might be benched part of the game but some other news source said he was gonna be benched the entire game (which I didn't see until after the game started and I started googling since it didn't look like he was in). I probably should have expected it but I'm gonna be pissed if I lose by 5-10 points.

I got Jordan Howard was undrafted in my league too and carried the gently caress out of my team. Him, Melvin Gordon, and Carlos Hyde would all alternate putting up 20+ point weeks it felt like and made me feel less bad taking Hopkins over David Johnson Jr. this year, even if I did get bounced from the playoffs when they all failed horribly in week 15.

I just looked, I picked him up Sept 28th in my small money league and rode him all the way to fifth place after starting the season 1-6 due to shitpiles of injuries (Peterson, Dez, Rawls, Decker, Foster, etc).

Nailed it. Started Cards (34 points) over Chiefs (15 points). But, more importantly, grabbed the cards off waivers three weeks ago precisely to keep their sweet Rams week 17 matchup out of anyone elses hands.

Hooray, I won my week 17 championship game. And thankfully I think this is the last year we're doing this. Week 17 is the crappiest of crap shoots where I had four guys put up a combined point total of 5 and still won because I put up a regular, not lovely total last week.

Two time champion in this league, gonna have my name on the trophy and I get to keep that fucker all year. Sweeeet.

Thank you SO MUCH for the recommendation on Jared Cook. Helped me win my Championship game! I would've lost if I started Olson our score was that close.

12 team league, $75 buy in. Payouts are:
1st - 300
2nd - 225
3rd - 150
4th - 75

Does that seem weird to anyone else?
