I have squeezed into the playoffs, but my matchup this week is pretty scary. Gygaxy is a monster team!

I beat them in week 8, but mostly that was because they started a bye week tight end rather than pick up a fillin and have to drop someone important (like the spare kicker or the spare defense) from the roster, plus carlos hyde was hurt and didn't earn points.

This week, though? I have a -2.3 line, and that is not much, especially since ESPN is being extremely optimistic about Charmander West's scoring possibilities in Kansas City's new committee RB situation.

The Eagles have been giving up massive points to opposing QBs, and Eli has been sucking. So yes, Eli will have a 30-point day and Tyrod Taylor is going to throw a pick-six on the first play from scrimmage, and then after the kickoff, he'll be sacked for a safety and injured on the play.

Oh god, Rawls out after just 4 points. I hate Seattle so much.

Eli massively outscored Tyrod on my bench, but I won anyway thanks to blessed Odell, plus high-volume Landry.

You're up, DropBears!

I'm also rooting for the Washingtonians (because boy howdy I don't want to face the Bandits. Again.)

Woodhead has been a sneaky good play throughout the season in daily fantasy, but drat, 3 TDs in a playoff week is rough.

Edit: Ok, missed his rushing TD, jeez. That's gotta be up there with some of Mike Alstott's goal line bullshit as a historical fantasy performance with the least yards gained.

Time to hit up your depth because OBJ is a fuckin' headcase.

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

I've been managing my depth well so I'm not boned. But, the last two years, I lost and then won each finals match by less than 5 fantasy points. So assuming I'm downgrading from beckham to, say, anquan boldin or latavius murray or charcandrick west or someone, that's probably like a 10 point swing.

Mind you I haven't won my match this week yet! But I think I have a pretty good chance considering I only need 7+ points from Hightower, Watson, and Prater combined.

It's been such a brutal year in fantasy that I kind of feel like so much came down to luck anyway. :shrug:

So, Lone Star, we meet again, for the first time for the last time. And I can see your Schwartz is as big as mine.

Epic.

Just a reminder:

Fish slappers vs. Wire Bandits, 2014: Slappers 101, Bandits 99.

May the best team win, unless it's not me, in which case, may the worst team win.

Also gently caress you, Odell Beckham Jr, you deserve your suspension for throwing a temper tantrum and being a reckless dickhead all over the field Sunday, and now you should sit in a corner and think about all the fantasy football nerds you've just hosed in their championship matches.


e. also haha you dropped James Jones and he immediately put up 20 points, and Edelman probably isn't even going to play

Rematch is gonna be a blast, though I can't say I'm unhappy at OBJ being a raging moron and taking himself out of your lineup. As for Edelman, ehh, I was able to take a flier last week on him being healthy this week. Not like I was starting Jones in any case, he's too drat volatile, especially with Rodgers not being his usual self the entire season.

Just don't look at the waiver wire nowadays, it's an incredible graveyard of talent.

May 17, 2007

Yeah, in my other league it's dynasty so all the really good players on IR are still rostered. But in this league, jesus it's like a war zone in there, there's dead heroes scattered everywhere.

Go away, Jordan Reed! We all know Philly's pass defense is garbage so you're not impressing anyone. Just calm down and let the other players have a turn ok?

I deserve a huge performance out Sammy Watkins in compensation. Yeah. That's the ticket. Get it done tomorrow, Sammy.

It worked out. Also Will Tye squeezing out garbage time points. For a lot of that game I thought Eli Manning was gonna gently caress me from beyond the grave.

I've been incredibly busy this summer, and likely will remain so until some time in late September. I'd love to continue it but I don't personally have time to manage everything.

If someone else is willing/able to take up comissioner duties I can get that set up.
