That was legitimately the kind of game that will make me dislike Tee Higgins for the remainder of his career

He has been so hit and miss this year -- which isn't usually his style. Although last year he had a few 0's (and close to) from... hamstring things and... (whispers: murder)

I'm in five leagues and have him in four (all except this one). He tends to be a guy I go for almost everywhere.

I won all four matchups with him and didn't really need him to do anything -- so it almost goes ignored by me. But -- if I would have needed him? I bet I'd feel the same way.

It shouldn't be different based on arbitrary "needed him or not"... but I seem to fall victim to that fallacy more often than I should.

First offer I sent out for Sanders got taken. It was probably a terrible idea on my part!

Oh yeah, there's usually 4-5 every year. The hierarchy is always...

1: Kelce

2-5: Andrews and a few random guys, at least two of which got 1/4 of their total points in a single stupid game. Their point totals put them on par with about the 30th best WR in any given year.

6+ : poo poo.

I dislike Sanders tremendously and still did it.

I think I am win and in if I checked stuff correctly, but if I lose there is no longshot path to make the playoffs either. I am kind of surprised, I thought I was completely out of the running. Who knew that losing 3 games by less than 3 points would matter...

Haven’t done a full analysis but I think I’m in if I win. That’d be six division wins for me on the year, and I think that’s second tiebreaker. If I lose it’s over.

I can’t believe how different the AFC and NFC have been this year. Never has it ever been even close to that dichotomous before.

Pain of Mind posted:

The conferences were very lopsided this year, where 8 of the top 9 teams by expected wins were in the AFC, and 4/5 of the top 5 were in Namath. Bolded teams made the playoffs. Expected wins is point and win independent, but a reasonable measure for team strength. It is just a rank ordering of how many teams you would have beat each week, so for each week the top score gets 1 win, the bottom score gets 0 wins, and everyone else gets some fraction based on how many teams they would have beat for each individual week. Not that it matters for anything, just dumb stuff to do at work. One assumption is the schedule is completely random, which it is not with divisions, but it still as an accurate measure of team strength since it is entirely based on points scored, it is not like you can play defense.



Edit: Each division's cumulative wins would be:
Joe Namath: 42.34
Dan Marino: 40.08
Tony Romo: 29.66
Joe Montana: 27.92

Ah a nice color-coded table to describe the hell it has been to be in Namath this year for all of us.
