Sheesh….figured Allen may move it more….kittles was no count as 49ers predictably struggled in snow. Had 5 players out due to injuries but I am hanging on by a thread.
166.25 with only McLaughlin tomorrow. Counter if he gets over 9.60…and he has only done that once alll year….lol…so thinking I am done with 166.25.
Line at 158.20 so hoping for something like tonight, I.e. a move of only 2-5 points only tomorrow. Can’t imagine Broncos/Browns having many that will move line…but fearing the Turk….

I sure hope you make it.*
*This statement has nothing to do with the fact that I'm .5 below the line with Javonte (-4.1) and Nix (-21.7) left.
Same here. Combine worst week of the contest with highest cutline and signal the Turk. Super excited to get this far and ready for 2025!

My ghost entry in remarkably similar position... 163.50 with only [McLaughlin - 9.60 (Jameson)] to go. First scoring appearance all season by Graham Gano this week, leaving only a combined $12 from Samaje Perine, Dylan Laube, and Hayden Hurst (IR) as the rooster dead weight through week 13. No major injuries other than Rashee Rice (and to a lesser extent Keon Coleman recently, who had previously counted in 4 of first 8 weeks as well as Jake Ferguson).
It's easy in retrospect to think I should have had one or two more high-quality skill players and less cheapie dart throws on my roster, but I wouldn't have had the foresight to cut some of those cheapies who didn't pan out but also retain guys like Bucky Irving and Tre Tucker who were strong contributors in multiple weeks.

Wow what a start. Chances rising.
1st 2 drives of the game cut me from down 25 to down 12.5.

Sean Payton hates us...fullback td.
It was a good playcall though.

good luck to those who were on the cusp and via some big games tonight were able to outrun the turk. Njoku, Sutton, Jeudy and Denvers D should have had huge implications tonight. Not in this contest but I pulled off a miraculous comeback in my home league when Denver scored that late 2nd Td,

I can finally let go of this contest.
Like many who have been eliminated already, I watch my weekly scores even after I’m out, coming back to this thread to say that I’m yet again over the cut line. Angry/disappointed that I’d still be alive in contest “if not for that one bad week”.
Well, this week my eliminated team didn’t make the cut line again, so I finally feel like I can stop thinking about the “what ifs”.
I’m out. For real for real this time

UNOFFICIAL future Cut lines (Ties affected this week and next week’s cutlines):
Start 11695
10% Week 1 Cut to Number – 10528
10% Week 2 cut to Number – 9477
10% Week 3 cut to Number – 8533
20% Week 4 cut to Number – 6828
20% Week 5 cut to Number – 5467
20% Week 6 cut to Number – 4375
20% Week 7 cut to Number – 3502
30% Week 8 cut to Number – 2454

30% Week 12 cut to Number – 591
40% Week 13 cut to Number –355 Now 356
40% Week 14 cut to Number –213 Now 214 (means the top 11 non-playoff teams this week win a prize)
Notes From Contest Rules:
- In weeks 1--14, the cut is based on scores from the current week only. Scores reset each week.
- Specifically, the cut will be determined as in the following example. Suppose it is week 7 and there are 2,394 entries at the beginning of the week. Because the cut percentage is 20% for that week, 2394 will be multiplied by 0.80 and the resulting number, if not an integer, will be rounded UP to the next greatest integer. In this case, 2394 * 0.8 = 1915.2. We round up to 1916. The entry with the 1916th-highest score, and all entries with an equal or greater score, will move to the next round.
- if fewer than 225 participants remain after week 14, then prizes will be awarded to eliminated participants according to highest score in week 14. If prizes are still unawarded after that, then highest score in week 13, and so on.
**Good luck to all those still in the final regular season week of the contest this week - especially those who frequent here!**

My second time making it to the penultimate week. Got some tough bye weeks to navigate. Need Kyler Murray to ball out one time

Onto next week, this has been such a fun contest. My team seems to be picking up steam towards the end. With Jayden on Bye I have to pin all my hopes to Caleb Williams. Other then that my team is pretty spread out with a lot of options to score so fingers crossed.

One more week for this right?
I’ve got a bad feeling. It’s a major bye week and I was never that worried because I only have Likely and Justice out but now with Taysom out, I’ll only have one TE if Ferguson can’t go.

I'm one of the $100 Joe's contest entries, and I'm out this week with a whimper (565th place out of the 591 entries, ouch). Farthest I've ever made it. Good luck to those remaining!

I knew I was in trouble when Denver went with a fullback plunge on 1st and goal from inside the one. Give the ball to Javonte or let Nix run or pass for the TD and I'm still alive. After that, they turned Javonte into the world's smallest offensive lineman whose only job was to come in and pass protect.
Note to self: Never, ever, take a Sean Payton coached RB in the contest again.

Of the injured/Bye list, I only have Rice and Hill. Starting to like my chances more.
I'm glad I dropped Daniels and Dobbins from my team last minute.

only two teams left with my top two WRs, Nico and Pickens. They appear to be my ticket.

I'm looking good (I think) with Dobbins my only injury and Denver's guys (Sutton, Nix, McLaughlin) my only BYEs. Goff or Darnold offsets Nix, so hopefully no worries there. Jetta, McConkey, Odunze, Jamo, and Iosivas can hopefully contribute at least 2 good scores.
As the only entry with Jetta and Jonnu, I hope they take over the rest of the season!
Good luck to all those left!

I've participated for 3 years. The previous 2 I've exited week 14. I tried not to do Week 14 bye players, but since there were 6 teams on bye, it made it a little easier on me to select a few.
Javonte is no big loss, but Richardson has been good the past few weeks. Sutton is my #1 WR. Will be another nailbiter. Luckily, I'll know about where I stand after the afternoon games end. I'll only have the Chargers Sun night and Higgins Mon night.
Really need DeVonta, Romeo and Jake back this week.

I’m out by 18. Frustrating that none of my high priced position players - CMC, Lamb, Garrett Wilson, Ferguson, Kittle, & Javonte Williams broke 10 points this week. In retrospect, I feel good about going 1 QB on Goff. There is only 1 CMC owner left and unfortunately it is not me.

I am limping in…but I will take it….think my time is close though as last two weeks I just squeaked by…
And injuries are piling up for me….25 player team but now have 6 out this week…and could say 7 as I have dip Dioante Johnson who went to ravens and is apparently benched?
So 7 players out and then 2 more players on bye (intentionally avoided week 14 bye players on the team) and would have worked out of not for all the injuries.
Got to week 14 2 of the last 3 years so I am happy and hoping for one more rabbits foot week….
