The guy with the most total points scored in our league—by a notable margin—is in 11th place out of 12 and missing the playoffs.

As for me, need 19 points between Love, Doubs, and Achane tonight. Also for another person in our league to not score 40 off Deondre Hopkins and GB D/ST. We can do this!

I lost my week but will get the 3rd or 4th seed out of 4 from the tiebreaker.
My team is mostly broken so I don't have high hopes.

Playoffs in 2/3 leagues and 13-1 in one of them. My Jordan Love vs. their King Henry in the other to secure a first round bye. (I'm screwed)

Thankfully this week doesn’t matter too much, my team had bottom-10 matchups across the board and played accordingly 😬

I’d rather have it this week than next week in the playoffs!

I had a choice between Dobbs and Jake Browning this week. Of course I chose wrong because what the gently caress was with that Min/LV game.

Also ROS, should I run with Murray over Dobbs/Browning/ and I guess Joe Flacco now?

I am praying that everyone else in my league is happy with their qb, so I can pick up Flacco and drop Goff

I drank too much Honolulu blue koolaid and lost a lot of matchups I could have won had Goff scored more than 12-16pts

I would also appreciate this. Although the Saquon one I need him to roll out a dud because I really want the guy right behind me in the standings to lose.

Next week in my league is looking to be nuts. We might have 2 people tied at 8-6 for the 2nd and 3rd spots (one of those being me), and 3 other people at 7-7 all trying to get that 4th and last spot in the playoffs. Me at 3 will face #4, and 5 and 6 will face each other. So both games will be win and in scenarios.

"sorry for 2020"

In truth, I think I was 8-5 at best that year -- going into the playoffs.

Last year in SA 20 I lost one game in season. In some ways that was worse to lose in playoffs, but... nothing can probably ever quite match the Kamara-bowl.

Oddly enough Gus Edwards (benching him) lost me that game in 2020. Start him over Salvon Ahmed and I win over you. This week (now 2023, thirty years later)? I started Gus Edwards over Garrett Wilson. Gus drops a cool < 2 points. He curses me no matter what I do with him. Across-years Gus-curse.

Honestly even if he plays in week 15, I’m not sure he’d be worth slotting in over someone else. I have no idea how non-Dobbs backups do, and if they settled on Dobbs this week over them, then fuckin yeeeeeeeeshhhhhhhhhh

Like obviously you’d start him and be happy with double digit points, but I strongly doubt he’d break 15 unless he’s the only one getting targeted

I was watching Red Zone yesterday and after the half every time they cut to that game it was to show the Panthers in like 3rd and 20. The Saints did gently caress-all until they were like halfway through the 4th.

Yet somehow the Niners or Cowboys are going to lose to an NFCS team in the first round

A lot riding on the dolphins game tonight!

3rd-6th seeds in my league are all likely going to have the same record heading into the playoffs. That’s assuming Mostert/Achane/Waddle put up more than 11 points combined for me.

I’ll hold the PF tiebreaker over the other teams if those three score more than 20 points.

I want to be the 3rd or the 6th seed, because the number one seed has an absolute powerhouse of a team, and that would put me on the other side of the bracket.

So I need those three to score less than ten, or more than 20, anywhere in between and I’ll have the 4th seed.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
I need Tyreek to score less than 27. This game has been an emotional roller coaster.

Yep, both my teams lost pretty much before tonight even started but both made playoffs, and I’m just counting down the days until I get unceremoniously knocked out in the first round so I can uninstall Sleeper and not watch football until August


Just, really competitive teams up until like week 7 and then just totally underperforming since then with an occasional 3 point win to keep me above the total dog poo poo teams is so frustrating.

In leagues where I have the Browns D, I grabbed a second defense for the playoffs since I was worried about their Houston matchup in week 17.

i feel like atlanta and denver are the safest streaming defenses for this week, yea. atlanta goes up against carolina, and their offense is just broken in every regard. there are no receivers or running backs there that could overpower any of the falcons' middling defense. this isn't like houston versus the jets last week, where the jets do have good running backs and receivers and when wilson is right, the team can do things. carolina cannot say the same.

as for denver, they have a beastly defense going up against a banged up detroit offense. we saw how that worked out last week.

plus, if you pick denver up this week, you get them for a very attractive matchup next week against new england, and what will probably be a very good matchup against the herbert-less chargers the following week.
