    Taking a shot in the dark here, did you have cutler and the opponent Ingram?

    Buddy of mine's dad won his league by .6. He had Ingram and the opponent had cutler whose TD pass in the last 30 seconds came up just short.

    Nope. I was all finished and he had Forte and Jeffrey. So I should've lost anyway, had they both gotten projections. That garbage TD from Jeffrey sank me.

    Damn. Brutal.

    I'm in the finals as the 7th seed facing two weeks of a 15-point deficit right off the bat.
  • SportsAndLady
    In the finals as well

    My Peyton vs his demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, and CJ Anderson could be rough

    In the finals in 1-of-3 leagues. Favored to win, and I am 1-0 against this guy so far this year. I'd finished the regular season #1 in this league, but two guys finished with a higher point total. However, I just beat one of them, and the other team in the finals beat the other.

    Hoping I can get some decent play out of my QB spot, but right now, I'm still sitting on Sanchez and Orton, who have both been just awful. I've got a waiver request in for Bridgewater, but the wire is super thin (Alex Smith and Derek Carr being the next highest performers from the past four weeks who are active). I'm okay at the RB position, and I've got the best WRs in the league, plus Gronk, so it should hopefully be enough to get me through any inept play at the QB position.

    In the championship in an 18-team (17-man roster) league, so the waiver wire is VERY thin. The manager I'm facing colluded on multiple trades, but I still think I have a decent shot despite not making any trades outside of one (a defense for a defense). This league has 2-week long playoff matchups, which actually benefitted me in the first round as my team sucked two weeks ago but played well and closed the gap last week. Here's what our matchup looks like:

    Our teams (MINE/HIS):
    QB: Ryan Roethlisberger
    RB: McCoy Lynch
    RB: Ingram Morris
    RB: J Hill D Herron
    RB/WR: E Sanders Char. Johnson
    WR: A Brown Edelman
    WR: J Gordon D Bryant
    TE: Kelce Gronkowski
    FLEX: Garcon Sanu
    FLEX: J Reed LaFell
    DEF: MIA D CLE D
    K: Hauschka Bailey

    BEN: Randle, J Matthews, J Thompson, Cin D, NYJ D Cutler, Vereen, Kearse, Manziel, Gray

    Unreal year of fantasy football so far. In 4 leagues and in the championship game of 3 of them, and have won $1,020 after putting in $285 total. I'm hoping to win at least one of the games and 2 would be great. I've never won 2 of the leagues so would like to cross those 2 off the list.
  • TBone14
    In the championship in 1 of 3. Of course, it the smallest entry fee of them all but still would be nice to win.

    Stealing Dr. Knoitall's format.

    Our teams (MINE/HIS):
    QB: Brees Roethlisberger
    RB: Forsett Foster
    RB: Stewart F.Jackson
    RB/WR: Char Johnson J. Bell
    WR: Edelman Jeffery
    WR: Bryant Stills
    TE: Miller Graham
    FLEX: Landry Douglas
    FLEX: J Reed LaFell
    DEF: NE D DET D
    K: Hauschka Barth

    I think he will sub in Mike Wallace for Douglas if Julio plays.
    I played Blount last week over Charles Johnson but think I am going back to Johnson this week. I also picked up Dunbar and Randle..so if Murray goes, whoever starts for the Cowboys I will likely play. Sounds like it would be Randle.
  • O-Trap
    I like that format. Looks like my opponent might have QB woes as well ... I hope ...

    The matchup (MINE / HIS ):

    QB: M. Sanchez / D. Anderson/C. Newton
    WR: E. Sanders / A. Brown
    WR: O. Beckham / G. Tate
    RB: M. Forte / E. Lacy
    RB: P. Thomas / S. Vereen
    TE: R. Gronkowski / H. Miller
    W/R: J. Gordon / I. Crowell
    K: C. Barth / D. Bailey
    DEF: Cleveland / New England
    DB: M. Barron / M. Griffin
    DL: C. Joh nson / E. Griffin
    LB: C. Lofton / P. Worrilow

    Forte worries me. They haven't been giving him enough touches, and Lacy has been GOOD lately. My WRs and flex are stronger, but if Cam can go, I trust him more than I trust Sanchez or Bridgewater.
  • justincredible
    QB Brady Ryan
    RB Charles Morris
    RB Forsett Crowell
    WR Maclin Bryant
    WR Beckham Jeffrey
    TE Gates Graham
    FLEX Benjamin Brown
    FLEX Kelce Cobb
    K Santos Haushka
    DEF Lions Bills

    My opponent is stacked at WR. Oh, he also has a 15-point lead going in to the matchup. :|

    He definitely is loaded at WR, but you've got the upper hand at QB and RB, and your WRs aren't THAT bad. Beckham has gone bonkers since the Giants' bye, and Maclin is still serviceable, as long as he can get even mediocre QB play. Meanwhile, Jeffrey's potential, while still reasonably high, is capped by the implosion of Jay Cutler.

    I would guess that your matchup ends up being closer than 15 points, so I'll say you at least beat the spread.

    I hate that at this point my best (most consistent) second FLEX play is another TE.

    I have Martavis Bryant on my bench but he's been wildly inconsistent that last 4 games.

    The following RBs are available on the waiver wire:

    Jackson (vs OAK)
    Asiata (vs MIA)
    Andre Williams (vs STL)
    Herron (vs DAL)
    Martin (vs GB)

    I would say Herron, except I expect that to turn into a passing affair. He can catch, but it will still diminish his role.

    I think you could start Andre Williams over Kelce. I believe Jennings is almost definite to miss this week, so he should function as the feature back in New York, albeit against the Rams, who have only given up 100 yards rushing to three guys all year (two of whom are a surprise): D. Murray, B. Rainey, and R. Mathews.

    Still, I think he'll keep all the goal line work and get the lion's share of touches out of the backfield. I'd guess 50 yards and maybe a TD. With the guaranteed touches, it's hard to start a TE over a feature back in most cases. Especially when the Giant Tomato insists on not getting that TE more involve in the offense.

    So I picked up Bridgewater. He's playing Miami, which gives me pause, but I trust him more to not soil himself on the field.

    What I see is this:
    Sanchez against a bad passing D

    -or-

    Bridgewater against a good passing D

    Teddy averages 5 more points per game over the last four weeks, but Franchez does play in that Chip Kelly offense that can go bananas in a given day.

    Which do you guys role with? I've already got one vote for Sanchez.

    Your team looks pretty stacked for an 18-team league.

    I was leaning toward Fred Jackson since Oakland is absolutely horrid against the run. In 14 games they've given up less than 20 points only 4 times.

    I'd say Bridgewater vs Sanchez is a coin-flip at this point.

    Well, I hope his WRs go nuts because I am starting Bryant, Edelman and Johnson as well. However, I hope Big Ben has a bad day. In a nutshell, I hope his WRs have big days but your team can go off and I'd be fine with that.

    Only place you're the underdog is TE if we're going by skill alone. That doesn't take match-ups into account, of course.

    I still think you pull it out.

    Is this a money league?

    Not a money league, although I wish it was since I finished the season as the #1 seed, the points leader, and I'm playing for the championship! I'd be raking in the cash!

    Really it was a $1,188 dollar investment at least. You can see the (44) next to his name. Who knows how many other teams he had probably at least 50. Still pretty awesome payout for the investment.
  • Pick6
    Zero clue on who to start in my office championship at the flex.

    R. Mathews
    K. wright
    Sanu
    G. Jennings
    Bowe
    blount

    league is PPR.

    Yikes!

    I'd exclude Blount only because I've made it a practice to never trust Billy B's running back situation.

    Jennings has become the #2 WR on a team with a low-end QB going against a tough defensive matchup this week, so I wouldn't like to consider him either.

    I wouldn't count on Wright based on his volatility in that offense. He can lay a goose just as quickly as he can have a good game.

    I don't think Mathews is playing, so I wouldn't count on him.

    Bowe hasn't had more than 3 catches since Week 10, and he has yet to find the endzone. I'd stay away from him, despite the matchup.

    For Sanu, see Wright. They essentially have a similar rap sheet this year.

    All things considered, I guess I'd probably go with Jennings and hope for a TD, since he has one in three of the last four games, but that matchup is going to be ROUGH. After him, I might go Wright, as he did have a big game last week, despite the nasty pass rush the Texans normally bring.

    I made my league championship after putting up 75 and 82 points in the first 2 rounds. Playing some stout defense.
