I'm like the Peyton Manning of Fantasy Football - sick regular season numbers, iffy/terrible playoff numbers. Unlike Peyton, I've never won a title.

But since my curse has been broken, I've gotten super lucky and won 2 playoff games I should have lost
and now play for my league's title, and 1000 in cash, this week. So excited!

I'm heavily favored as of today, but those fantasy projections mean only so much. The real game starts Thursday.

Are you still alive? If so, celebrate our Fantasy awesomeness!

Really productive points players are ussually on teams that are already in the playoffs so people who got lucky picks ussually still have players on teams that are still competing,

My team the Boston Beavers only won once...

One generally useful fantasy strategy is to target players from teams that score a lot of points.

For example, if you think Green Bay is awesome, going Rodgers-Nelson-Cobb-Lacy is a bold and points worthy strategy.

But it can burn you with a bad game.

Let me tell you about this championship level team that only exists as a figment: their might is unmatched.

It might be quite easy to stack your team with players from the same team if you so desired on draft day.

Why not draft Packers? Patriots? Broncos? They're all almost guaranteed to score lots of points.

My opponent has demarco Murray and is convinced he's going to play Sunday

I think Murray will play but I just picked up his backup in case he doesn't.

Redshirt who are your sleeper picks for this week, any positions

How deep a sleeper are you talking about? I've been researching the dregs of the league.

For example, noted white receiver Cole Beasley for Dallas.

I'm trying to prepare for the possibility that TY Hilton doesn't play, and if I'm not smart, I get caught with having no one play since its a Sunday 4:20 game.

Don't forget there's two games on Saturday this week.

Cole Beasley would be an interesting sleeper and also belongs in the GBS gross dudes w long hair thread

i picked the denver kicker last week as my sleeper cause manning's balls kept looking wobblier every week

I picked up the Denver kicker 3 weeks ago and it's been good.

Desperation sleeper with possible big upside and big downside is Chicago WR Marquess Wilson.

But I don't know if you can trust any Bears.

Pick up Joseph Randle and Kniles Davis as possible fills in for Murray/Charles.

the bears are such a dumpster fire right now, until last week i don't recall ever seeing a WR getting called for offsides, much less two of them in the same game. i got super lucky w Alshon Jeffery's late TD but this week i think i'll take a chance on Harry Douglas instead.

My opponent already got Randle but i got Davis and Hyde

Hell yeah on Douglas if he's available. Though I see he didn't practice today so check the injury.

Another possible sleeper is Marques Colston - most people gave up on him halfway through the season, but he's had like 4 good games in a row and one assumes New Orleans - Atlanta will be high scoring.

actually thinking about starting titans defense

probably wont, but thinking about it

poo poo sandwich. I'd play the Jags defense over the Titans. But I'd play neither, really.

thursday night games are great for fantasy football illogic tho, but only the right kind of illogic, which i have determined to be _____

Titans are starting Whitehurst and Jags actually have an OK defense of late. If you're trying for illogic, go Jags!

my real defense dilemma is Eagles (v wash) or Packers (v Jax lol)

Packers are playing Bucs.

I'd choose the Eagles D. RG3 is a turnover machine.

Packers D is poo poo. Bucs will probably light them up.

RG3 gets sacked all the time too. Roll with them Eagles.

I'd like opinions on the following theory: That given two equal players, it's better to choose the player who's on the same team as your opponents QB.

Example: Your opponent has Tom Brady. You have a WR choice of Julian Edelman or Kenny Stills. Edelman is the better play because every point he scores not only negates Brady's points, but actually gives you a positive margin.

I'm getting more nervous with each passing day. Injuries on my team, plus my opponent has Matt Forte, and now that the Bears have benched Cutler, one assumes they're gonna run Forte heavily.

And some clone replaced Shady and he kind of stinks these days.

My first time in the championship. poo poo's dope. For like the third year in a row I've gotten like the 2nd-3rd highest points during the season, but then come in like 5th or 6th. My chance to win it all mang.

Cool. Got any tough decisions?

My team is falling apart. TY Hilton did not practice again today. I've made my backup plan, but it's not good.

Good news, goons! Even though I turned in another clunker, my opponent did worse.

I'm down 4.5 points and I've got Denver's kicker going tonight. Odds are in my favor, though of course anything could happen.

How did you other Goon champs do?

Welp.

It's tough, because in real football terms I'd like to see the Broncos lose.

In Fantasy Football terms, I need freaking 4 points from the Denver kicker. C'mon, man!

Did not Vince Wilfork block a kick?

I'm sorry

But I won, thank you mr hill.

I'm serious about macys tho, you wanna come with? I'll buy yuo a nice shirt

My curse remains.

That said, I'm hoping for a one point stat correction for the Patriots defense - they blocked a field goal at the end of the game, but weren't given a point.

If it happens, it will be cruel, and unusual.

Also, snowed in. Sorry, can't come.

oooooh a stat correction victory is still a victory. i'll be rooting for you~

E: also my last league finishes up this week, but it's one that i wished i hadn't joined cause it's all full of turbonerds who do a lot of research and poo poo, also known as better players than me.

i'm competing for my entry fee back, aka the Toilet Bowl

And it happened - a 1 point stat correction and I am now the Fantasy Champion with a .5 victory.

That was a 600 dollar stat change fwiw.
