Our title game (14 team standard, 0 PPR) features, among others, Newton + Bell + Thielen + Zuerlein vs Hunt + Hopkins + Rudolph + Ravens. Gurley didn't make the playoffs.

Does anyone's championship NOT involve Gurley? Going up against him myself

10 team league, 6 in playoffs, gurley wasn't even in the playoffs (we do live auction so it's a bit different).

My opponent won his semifinal by .1 - started bortles and freeman, but also antonio brown and davante adams. I'm trying to scoop up randall cobb since he has no WRs at all now, hopefully.

the 4 starting RBs in the finals in a .5 ppr league : kamara, collins (me) vs freeman & drake (him)

Here’s my finals lineup:



12-man standard league. My WR situation is... not great and the best in waivers right now is... Paul Richardson??? Oh Cobb is out there too.

One of the 3 I made involve Gurley; the one I lost in semis I have Gurley but the rest of my team (Rivers/AJG/AB/Howard..) underperformed or were injured. In spite of Gurley, it was my teams' second lowest score of the season.

Freeman/Duke/Hunt/Murray v Kamara/CMC/Collins (start 2 + 1 flex). Team with Gurley was 9th, didn't make the playoffs.
Bell/Duke/Ajayi/Abdullah v Gurley/Hyde/Morris/Lactavius/Mixon/Dion (start 2 + 1 flex). Team with Gurley was 5th, but #2 PF.
Lactavius/Collins/Forte/Miller/Perine/White v Drake/Duke/Crowell/McKissic/Smith/Williams/Woodhead (best ball, top 10 WR/RB flex). Team with Gurley was 8th, didn't make the playoffs

In that second league, my QB situation is brutal and the reason I was only 5-8. I had Luck to be my QB. WW is.. empty. Brock, Siemian, Petty. My QBs? Gabbert and Kizer. I'm dropping Gabbert for Stanton, but yeah.. It's a dyno league with a trade deadline, so there's no way for me to fix it at this point and I had been trying to sell at the deadline because it didn't look like I was gonna make the playoffs. I've also been starting Ed Dickson's 0 points at TE so far in the playoffs, but I'm dropping him for Celek. And somehow I'm projected to win.

1ppr

Mine: LVB, Alex Collins, Derrick Henry, Woodhead (drafted and dropped: Chris Thompson, Bilal Powell, Abdullah, Eifert, Doug Martin)

His: Gordon, Kerwynn, Doug Martin, Rod Smith

My league has penalties for QB incompletions so really it’s Brady, Bell and JAX that carried me here with an end-game push by Marquise Goodwin and more poignantly, Greg Olsen.

In my league the Gurley owner placed 11th out of 12.

His next best player is Derrick Henry.

It is a bad team.

My opponent in one of my two finals matchups forgot to switch Aaron Rodgers out for Kirk Cousins.

Woo! I’m not counting my chickens before they hatch but if he wins with a QB on IR I may just kill myself.

Adam Thielen looked at last week’s abysmal 3 points and decided he could do worse.

C’mon, man. It’s loving championship week.

Thielen almost singlehandedly erased my week 1 advantage. At least Min’s defense and Forbath had a good game. I’m still going to need good games from the rest of my team if I’m going to win.

At least I had Min D/ST. Well, here's to hoping Elliot blows the gently caress up and the rest of my team goes nuts tomorrow. Though I'm pretty sure I've lost at this point.

Happy with the Flacco stream. Currently worried about leaving Gore and the Min DST on my bench. Mixon and the Bears better make up for it tomorrow.

Who knew I should have started Hilton over Thielen. Gore had a good game at least, but I need everyone else to pick it up today.

I swear Hilton has had 5 good weeks out of 15 and I’ve benched him every single time he pops off. I’m not even mad, I’d have been crazy to start him.

Anyone have opinions on Martavis Bryant vs Rishard Matthews today? My big pile of money is making me second guess every decision this week.

Also, I have Gurley and Hunt on my team so go ahead and hate me.

Pretty sure he's going to beat me singlehandedly.

After yesterday's games, I thought my opponent's Keenum putting up such a mediocre score was a decent sign. Now it's not even halftime on the early games and my Jameis Winston has completely ruined that good feeling.

I switched out Gordon for Crowell like 10 minutes before game time because of the snow. While Crowell isn’t killing it, he’s still ahead of Gordon. Kizer sucks so much.
