It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Made the finals in my one and only league. Despite my team being really terrible at the beginning, I feel like I actually didn't have as much turnover as I expected.

Draft
QB: Newton, Dalton
RB: McCoy, Crowell, Gore, Jamaal Charles, TJ Yeldon
WR: Cooper, Crowder, Thielen, Robert Woods,
TE: Witten, Miller (RIP)
D: Vikings
K: McManus

Last week
QB: Smith, Bort
RB: McCoy, Crowell, Gore, Javorious Allen, Ivory
WR: Thielen, Gordon, Benjamin, Kearse, Hilton, Richardson
TE: Witten
D: Ravens, Bills
K: Succop

So 5 players overall I still have, but all of my main RBs went the year uninjured and I actually started all three of them most of the time. Mostly I started winning because my WR corps got way better once I started Thielen, and once I switched from Cam Newton to Alex Smith. Andy Dalton I dropped after week 1 and picked up Smith. 14 team league, so pickings were slim at the end of the draft. I probably could have held on to Robert Woods, but he still would have rode the bench most of my season.

I've got Stafford, Smith, and Prescott. Should I grab either Bortles or Foles to start this week?

Also should I roll with Chicago defense or try to pick up Pittsburgh off waivers?

Here's my team from week 1 and going into the championship.


Currently have a waiver claim on Keenum but if he gets grabbed will go for Bortles or Foles, in addition to Chicago D/ST and Greg Olsen because someone dropped him.

It's gonna be a coin flip either way but I'm excited with Zeke coming back. I really fought like hell to get into the finals these past few weeks.

Against the Browns and with my luck I'll see the 20.

Lata virus is probably going to have a good game. GBs front 7 is nothing spectacular outside of Mike Daniels. I would take him over McKinnon easy.

4 semifinal games:

2 Blowout Losses in the BML's
1 Blowout Win in Dynasty (If Rodgers is shelved opponent is down to Dalton for the final)
1 Win in the crazy scoring league where BOTH teams poo poo the bed and it took a Desean Jackson injury last night for me to advance. The other semifinal in the league outscored us both by over 100 each :lol:

With a 3rd/4th split in one of the BML's and guaranteed no worse then 2nd in the 2 finals I am up to 725 and will play for 400 more in Week 16.

I will get Zeke back in 2 of the 3 leagues and am running with Big Ben or Cam (I have Wentz on IR also) + Gurley/Freeman/Drake/Evans/Graham in Dynasty (I have Dalvin Cook on IR also). His team is a juggernaut (Bell/McCoy/Green/Thielen/Gronk and usually has A-Aron) but I can usually match him. This is the #1 vs #2

Impossible to grab both?

I grabbed Keenum, Foles, and Bortles off the WW to force him to use Rodgers or Mariota.

I had to drop Robert Woods and McKinnon to do so.

That's tough. Do they sit Foles if they blowout OAK? Does 4net take Bortles pass ceiling down? Sounds like a toss-up.

I have Bort in at the moment but trying to grab Keenum.

I have a waiver claim in for both, but he is almost certainly going to use his waiver claim on one of them. But I have the higher priority, so I can choose which one I don't want him to have.

Since I'm now in the GoonTier B finals, let's look at my week one team vs. now:

Week One
QB: Russell Wilson
RB: Jordan Howard, DeMarco Murray, Rob Kelley (RIP), Paul Perkins, Darren Sproles (RIP)
WR: Michael Crabtree, Larry Fitzgerald, Martavis Bryant, Jarvis Landry, Jordan Matthews (RIP), Tyler Lockett, Torey Smith
TE: Zach Ertz
LB: Melvin Ingram, Bernardrick McKinney
DL: Leonard Williams
DB: Jabrill Peppers, Sean Davis
DP: Jarrad Davis

Now
QB: Russell Wilson
RB: Jordan Howard, Jerrick McKinnon, DeMacro Murray, Damien Williams
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Jarvis Landry, Michael Crabtree, Kenny Stills, Cordarrelle Patterson
TE: Zach Ertz, Trey Burton
LB: Chandler Jones, Brandon Marshall
DL: Melvin Ingram
DB: Sean Davis, Keanu Neal
DP: Berandrick McKinney

I really liked Russell Wilson this year. I don't normally go after a must-draft QB, and I'm happy it worked out. Not a lot changed in my starting offensive players all season. Defensive players changed a bit through the season, Keanu Neal and Chandler Jones were huge pickups for me this season. Jordan Howard really was a coin flip all year.

I think Foles is the better of the two. Keenum's value depends on if Rodgers plays this week. If Rodgers doesn't start we could see Min get ahead and just hand the ball to Murray the rest of the game.

Hopefully he wont be paying attention and I can grab Foles, Bortles, and Goff. That would give me Stafford, Prescott, Smith, Foles, Bortles, and Goff on my final roster.

In one champ game I’m rolling Smith, Rodgers, Goff, Keenum, & Foles.

He also had Hooper and Henry as TE’s so I would have grabbed Flacco, but instead grabbed Olsen to block him.

He then picked up Ben Watson who will now drop 15 points.

I know... Most of those he drafted too. Like Hunt in the 9th round :barf:

I'm just hoping my guys are able to play and he's rolling in there like that.

My competing lineup:

QB: Cousins or Foles
RB: Bell, Fournette, J. Williams, K. Williams, W. Gallman
WR: Anderson, Diggs, Adams, Watkins,
TE: Ertz, Olsen (I might actually roll both these guys out this week)
D/ST: BAL, MIN
K: Butker

If healthy and I pick the perfect line up, I have a puncher's chance but yah...

I was sitting in my office on that drizzly afternoon listening to the monotonous staccato of rain on my desk and reading my name on the glass of my office door: regnaD kciN

Made it to the finals in one league, which is 2 weeks long. I love my team and I'm an easy 1st in PF for the season, but this is going to be a close one

Me:
QB: Smith
RB: Gurley, Howard
WR: Hopkins, Hill
Flex: JuJu
TE: Ertz
DST: Jags
K: Lutz


Him:
QB: Taylor
RB: Hunt, Kamara
WR: Green, Evans
Flex: Hyde
TE: Olsen
DST: Steelers
K: Gould


I traded Nelson and Rivers for Smith and Howard when Smith was down right before his bye, and got JuJu off the wire, but the rest is the same from my draft. Very happy with this year, hopefully will have a championship to go with it

Currently going a little nuts on the waiver wire, but my league barely rides it (I have 45 moves at the moment, next highest is 31).



EDIT: Bumped up Olsen to number 1, because the team I'm playing against has Hunter Henry. Did this last week against a team that started Rose so I grabbed Gould and that pretty much won the game for me last week.

You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...We are transmitting from the year one nine... nine nine ...You are receiving this broadcast in order t
The finals in my BML are between the 5th most and 7th most points in the league. Normally I am pretty annoyed by that, but I am one of them so it is ok. Seeing as how I thought it was a rebuilding year since I had complete garbage keepers compared to other teams I will take whatever I can get.
