Thinking about starting Blaine Gabbert in week 1 of the playoffs. This is fine.

Lol so my 10-2 team gets to face a 4-8 team that scored 145 points in the first round of the playoffs last week. This is the worst playoff system ever, how the hell is this the standard for a 12 team league?

Because that same system deemed you worthy of playing the worst statistical record based on a random matchup list known as the fantasy football season schedule.

Big Money League 1: 1 seed, 1st round bye, finished with W4 and got the 1 seed by 20 points. Would have been the 5 or 6 with any loss the last 4 weeks.
Big Money League 2: 1 seed, 1st round bye, finished with a W10
Dynasty League (Medium Money): 2/3 seed, Won Division, Clinched Semifinal Berth (4 team playoffs)
Small Money League: Currently the 1 seed, Clinched Semifinal Berth, with a W3 now (4 team playoffs)

The money range is going to be really good if I can go 4-0 in Week 15. Between the 4 leagues I am 37-15

No I don’t think those are the same two systems. If it had been a normal system where 80% of the league didn’t make the playoffs I would probably be facing the team of a guy who gave a poo poo throughout the year instead of a team that knew 4 wins would get him there.

What I’m saying is a 4-8 team should not be playing for money at the end of the year and it’s gonna suck when my team that did well all year scores 89 points and farts in week 14 :(

6 leagues, five playoff berths with the final one to be decided this week (ugh, week 17 finals), 2 byes, 2 #1 spots.

This could be a great year for fantasy or it could all come crashing down horribly. Ain't this fun? :D

I'm curious what you guys buy-in is for your BML.

I know it can be all over the place.

My BML buy-in is $250 and the others I play in are all $50 except for one where its $50 then +$2 for every add/drop in the season.

My biggest is one 75 dollar buy in, the other 3 are all $50. I tried to get in one that was a $250 buy in, that would’ve been cool but maybe next year.

Ours costs $250 but only $200 of that goes into the pool. The other $50 goes into the SB pick at draft. If no one picks winner, it rolls over to next season. 2012-2014 no one picked the winner and in 2015 the guy in front of my grabbed the Patriots... I was so close to winning $2400.

$200 for the 14 team league.

Only one other league I'm in has a buy in. $23. $20 goes to the prize pool and $3 goes towards a ring for the winner

I'm a crazy person in a bunch of leagues.

BML - $125 buy in plus $1 per transaction
MML $50 buy in
2nd MML - $25 buy in plus $1 per transaction
Cheating for Charity league -$25 buy in plus whatever resources are added for cheating
Dynasty goon league - $25
SML -$25

Are you guys BML's mostly friends/co-workers/etc? Or are any from rando fantasy websites (or dead comedy forums)?

I'd like to try and get in one or two more next year, but none of my real life people are very serious about it.

I'd like to thank Satan for everything he's done for this organization


Divisions are only cool if it's real life people so you can talk poo poo and if your commissioner is cool (like me). I have kept a running tally of wins/losses/ties over the existence of the league. So we know who always beats down who, etc. It's good stuff if the context is right for it.

My 12-1 team has Gurley, Kamara, and Bell. My WRs are a mess across all three leagues but that RB corps helps make up for it (I have Kamara everywhere, and Bell in two out of three.)

Okay so who should us Gronk owners trot out to replace him this week should he not win his appeal (he shouldn't)?

My options (1PPR):

Stephen Anderson vs. SF
Tyler Kroft vs. Chi
Eric Ebron @ TB
Ben Watson @ Pit
Ricky Seals-Jones vs. Ten

I was thinking Kroft before last night. I don't like Watson against Pittsburgh since they're good against the TE. Anderson is intriguing based on the injury to Fiedorowicz.

I'm bumping this from last page because my brain don't work too good today

Why not go all the way and just give the championship to the team with the best record after 16 weeks? And why are you annoyed that you get to face the 7th or 8th best team instead of the 3rd or 4th? It'll suck to lose either way, might as well play the worst team you can.

This. Don't sit Jacksonville if you have them. If you end up losing because you decided to start Cincinnati or Green Bay over Jacksonville, you are going to feel really dumb.
