BlindSite posted:I feel like fantasy in general is a lot more boom and bust at the moment than it has been in years past. I think a lot of it is the truncated pre-season where starters get rested so much. Any team with a new or patch worked offensive line has some RBs struggling, lots of close games mean a lot more passing and a lot less starters closing games out - and even the blow outs we're seeing WRs go huge and the RBs get that committee approach. I think things will even out a little by week four or five as that chemistry develops, but early days it's the established teams with cemented combinations that have shot out. Well and Reek but he's a monster. My team is all bust and bust at the moment

My opponent missed that Zeke was out this week, and him being out directly led to my guy Tony Pollard having a big day. Despite all that, my lovely team is still only 70% to win going into tonight's game.

WampaLord posted:TE is a rough position this year. Either you have one of the few elite ones or it's a grab bag of mediocre. Somehow I wound up with Kelce and Ertz I think this week is the first week I've ever played a TE in the flex (because my RBs are so weak I played Khalil Herbert today even though David Montgomery is back)

I went through all the teams looking for a way to trade Zach Ertz for a RB better than Khalil Herbert, and I gotta say, you all disgust me. What are these teams? One of you has 3 TEs. Bizarre league we got here, just bizarre. One of you has exactly 2 RBs and like 8 WRs.

You've already had some good luck as Justin Fields got hurt, and he has been carrying the gently caress out of my team these last few games with 30+ point performances.

OK, going into the last week of regular season play, the final playoff spot is mainly up for grabs between me and whoever owns Baker's Crap Dozen. I started the year going 1-6, including the biggest loss of the year -- over 90 pts to ... Baker's Crap Dozen. They started the year 5-1 and I think led the league at one point? They get to play the guy who hasn't set his lineup all year, except his bye weeks are over and none of the people he had in the last week he checked have started to suck or gotten hurt (TBD on Joe Mixon), so it might not be the advantage you'd think. I get to play Derrick Rolled, who has had a disappointing year. Probably Kyler Murray's fault looking at his roster. My team is hot, but I have jinxed myself by posting about it. Also, I believe we can both win and overtake one of the next teams above us. Edit: Oh and Justin Fields is on the bye, so I have to play Tom Brady at QB.

Paul Proteus posted:I'm sure I'll struggle this week. Who knows. I'm not sure Kyler has been my issue - really my 2nd through fourth picks all killed me - Kamara, Deebo, and Sutton have all been duds. My best picks came late in the rounds and free agency, but I wasn't able to get any consistency in play/huge boom weeks other than the one time Kamara scored a TD this season. Continuing the Tale of 2 Seasons for our teams, here are the biggest blowouts of the season for the league: #1: #2:

Paul Proteus posted:Not certain I've ever had three starters injured in the same week. Doesn't matter on my end but just insane luck. Just insane insult to injury. More insanely bad luck for you, I was pretty sure to lose because of tonight's game, but my opponent's QB Kyler Murray got injured immediately and now I'm like 50-50 to win. However, you're gonna win too and you've got 40 points on me, so I think you wind up with the last playoff spot because of points scored. Hmmmm, also The New Guy is losing and I've got points on him. I think if I win, I am in and he is out? PostNouveau fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Dec 13, 2022 |

Looks like out of the 4 bubble teams vying for 3 spots, The New Guy loses Crazy to have that many spots open the last weekend. Three 7-7 teams in the end

WampaLord posted:It's been handled inconsistently. I think we should do it by standings, the last place loser tag is meant to emphasize your suckitude over the whole season, not your bad luck in the final 2 weeks I think last year we did it by standings not by playoffs because someone abandoned their team in like Week 2, so obviously he deserved the loser tag. And this year, we have the same situation, so hey, there we go

I've got another 10-team league that has, I think, a better playoff format. Just 4 teams and two weeks per semi-final with 2 weeks for the final. In our league, we wouldn't have any teams getting in at 7-7 (like me) and we'd have less chance at fluke, one-week bullshit causing someone to get bounced. The downside is it includes Week 18, where some teams might be sitting stars.
