It sure is easy to win when your opposing team's QB sucks poo poo and scores 0 points because he plays for Miami.

I was trying to get Procise to make it more likely, but noooo.

But I'll certainly try.

I might actually sit Alex Collins vs UT-Martin... is that crazy? He'll go for a lot of yards probably, but that 25% penalty for it being an FCS team hurts. I guess, since he's literally the only RB that Arkansas has, he'll be playing long after they've pulled the rest of the starters.

Then there's Paul Perkins whose injury is not as severe as feared. He could be back this week or he could be held out, who knows...

And the Internet has nothing to say about Canzeri's ankle...

And knowing my luck, this will be the week that Shaq Washington shows up big, while Joe Mixon will get shut down by Kansas.

Agh, I hate fantasy sports! >_<

Do not place any sort of weight on starting an Iowa Running Back. They are fragile and have a vengeful spirit out to get them at all times.

You all must be bad at planning, all of my starters this week are the best players I have at their position. And I have a Tight End that might score points. That would truly be a miracle.

I did that intentionally last year. Drafted and collected players who had a bye in a single week saying, "I'll take a loss that week". It worked out fairly well, went into the playoffs as the #2 seed. Buuuut, I was also the 8th top scorer and lost in the first round of the playoffs when my team laid a wet fart.

drat, I'm pretty vulnerable this week. Elliott has a bye and Dalvin Cook is being held out against Syracuse, so I have to start my 3rd string pickup this week and a 4th string FA I just added to replace Cook. The Minnesota and Michigan RBs, playing against each other, are probably the best I can do this week. At least I've already clinched the playoff.

I'll miss Linwood this week but it gives me an interesting decision at flex. Assume that Memphis will roll Tulane and Dorceus will get a ton of touches against a lovely D again or start Paul Harris from Hawaii since I at least know he'll get starter touches...

I'll probably lose in the first round of the playoffs, but it doesn't matter, my season has now been a success!

Playoffs are pretty much set. There are two cases where the 3rd place team can tie the 2nd place team, but in only one is the gap in points manageable and even then, just barely.

Super Demario Bros would have to score something approaching 500 more points than Taxes (and hope for a Taxes loss) in order to overtake him. Resident Evil Richtvelations has a more manageable 120 points to make up, but his team has significantly fallen in the last few games and I think he's given his playoff spot away.

Seeding is still very much up in the air. Taxes and Piper can swap places with a loss on either side. The #1 overall seed is still up for grabs. Beamer's Steamers sits in that spot now, with Piper in 2nd, and me in 3rd, but a loss by him opens everything up.

Only Komet is locked in at 4th seed and will win the Taxes/Piper lottery.

Tyler MF Sash 4eva is pretty much locked into the 6th seed barring a monumental collapse. Fit'z Friends has a 100 point lead on Vince Young Express, but a win or loss either way can swap their order.



The schedule is not in favor of any big changes, though. No playoff-bound team is playing another playoff-bound team. In an odd bit of coincidence, every last place team won last week, so crazier things have happened.

Welp, left a 50+ point scorer on my bench. My "matchup" play of the week has rushed for 2.8 ypc against a terrible UNM squad.

>_<

My game against my week 10 cupcake opponent is going to come down to a backup RB vs a USF WR...

Just had to make things interesting.

Congrats fellow division champ! Sorry about Doctson going down, that kinda sucks if he misses any time.


You also beat me out by 90ish points for the 2nd seed. Taxes had a better last game and beat you out for the top scoring crown, though. I won for most points against of the playoff contenders. Dabo Baptismal combines the third highest points for for non-playoff contenders with the highest points against of everyone (by a pretty large margin). Super Demario Bros is the unlucky one, the only team to win more than 6 games to also miss the playoffs.

Looks like the playoff matchups will be:

Beamer's Steamers vs Vince Young Express
Coleman and Doctson, LLP vs Fitz's Friends
Mahomes is where the heart is vs Tyler MF Sash 4eva
The Paterno People vs West Texas Teardrops

My lack of WR depth is going to cost me at the worst possible time. If Doctson is badly hurt (and it looks like he is) I'm going to have to start a waiver-wire WR this week.

I also have 6 start-worthy RBs for 3 starting spots. I'm positive I'll pick the wrong 3.

How the gently caress did we do playoffs last year?

Per division face-offs, or combined 8 team (highest versus lowest, etc)?

I can't remember :(
