Murray is my only active QB so I am right there with you. First time I have ever made it past week 10 for me. I have 4 on a bye week but they only cost me 23 dollars. They have been used only 9 times between the 4 of them.

McLaughlin didn't do quite enough to move my score, but nevertheless my ghost entry survived by 0.05 points this week.

Where are you guys looking up uniqueness? I have two out of these three.

Footballguy
your team has plenty of uniqueness
I believe Footballguys used to/still does partner with myFFPC for a playoff contest. I believe you pick one player from each team to fill out a roster. I have found it to be a fun contest, and am thinking about doing it again this year. Does anyone know if there is a forum thread similar to this one, for that contest?

I'm at 64.75 (Goff, Monty, Jamo, GB Def), so I hope we good!
I think they stopped the partnership with myFFPC last year.

Yep , unless Xmas miracle, out after this weekend. Ken walker out so now have 8 players out due to injuries and 2 bye players….total of 10 players out….ouch
Scoresman
Footballguy
Am I correct in my thinking that I may benefit from Walker being out despite him being on my team because my RB depth is the major strength of my team? I’m thinking him being out will hurt other teams with less RB depth more and also lower the cut line. I already had a great showing from Monty, and then I have Rico, Bucky, and at least two others I’m forgetting who have come up huge for me recently.
ZWK
Footballguy
Nope. It may help you a little relative to the 64 other teams that have Walker, but it hurts you (probably by more than that) relative to the 291 teams that don't have Walker.
TheWinz
Footballguy
I tend to agree with ZWK here. A guaranteed ZERO before guaranteeing you advance is not a good thing. Now, if Walker were playing on Monday Night and you were already above the line by a massive amount, I could see the appeal. But what if he's out week 15 as well? Do we really know how injured he is?

No Nico, No Pickens, No Walker, no advance :(

Ghost team is hurting today so far. After 1pm:
61.50 + (Burrow/Caleb Williams - 0.00) + (Dowdle/Vidal - 0.00/2.30/2.70/6.10) + (Higgins/Odunze/Dortch - 0.00/2.70/12.90/13.00) + (Kittle/Parkinson - 0.00/2.70/9.70) + (Karty - 11.80) + (Chargers - 3.00)
Good luck to the roosters still in the contest for real

+40 on the cut line.
Higgins -11.3
Chargers -4
Plenty of cushion and room for more as well.
After getting cut week 14 the past 2 years, I think I'm finally in the finals.
Drinks are on me.
35 above here!!
Rico and Chase -2.3 and Ferguson -10.9 to go so will be adding to it I think. Also have Iosavic but doubt he will do anything.
Ferguson active? Haven't been keeping up. If so he's against the 11.3 flex also.+40 on the cut line.
Higgins -11.3
Chargers -4
Plenty of cushion and room for more as well.

Ghost Entry is 1.45 points above the cut before SNF/MNF games, with all of Mahomes, LAC Def - 4, and a few other possible points. Coulda/shoulda/woulda, but feeling pretty good about this year's entry strategy overall. I anticipate I'm really going to be torn next year whether to repeat the 1-QB strat... will just depend on pricing, bye weeks, and if there's any cheapies who I feel confident enough to gamble on. I feel like my biggest bust of a decision this year was picking Coleman rather than Shakir as the breakout BUF WR. On other hand Rice>Worthy in KC was the right call in principle, but that was my only major injury bust this year.

I am speechless…all the injuries, just knew I was out…then Darnold goes crazy…
and then, I have not used him one single week this whole season but Jalen Fing McMillian gets 2 tds this week…lol

Not looking great.
139.05 with Worthy/Vidal -2.6/8.9 and Dicker -11.8
Bunch of fine to decent scores from my guys but no real blowup games on a day littered with them around the league.

My Ghost team (eliminated in week 12) is 10.2 points above the cut line at 142.55 with Chase Brown and Rico Dowdle still to play and with all of their points counting. I only had those two plus Singletary for running backs this week, and Singletary only scored 0.8 points. Looks like I would have made the finals if not coming up short 4.55 points in week 12. I also have the Chargers Defense - 4 points.
BlackCrowes
Footballguy
what do you know, saved by Odunze and Shakir!
Scores were very low sunday night. I believe army eye's app to be up to date at 134.40; I am sitting at 146.65 with only chase brown left anything over 2.3 scores for me though. Go Chase!!!!

I think I’m going to go out by about a point. Tensionmask isn’t correct because it doesn’t the right score for the Rams DST (sb 6 instead of 0)

Dunno if Tensionmask is correct or not but that last Burrow touchdown would be the one saved my ghost entry which finished at 150.75.
So for want of 13.05 points in week 8 I woulda been in the final dance
Make the CMC pick just gutting - total disaster. Practically any other use of that $37 gets me through*.
Higgins hit the board some times but missing that crucial week 8 doesn't make me feel much better about that $19 either.
Good luck to those who made it all the way!

* - of course I would have done another dozen combinations without him that inevitably would have made me remove some of my GOOD picks...

With a final cutline of
This is now my last cutline update, good luck to all those that made the final 250 and to those 11 that still won a prize in Week 14 final cuts!
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 9 cut to Number – 1718
30% Week 10 cut to Number – 1203
30% Week 11 cut to Number – 844
30% Week 12 cut to Number – 591
40% Week 13 cut to Number – 356
40% Week 14 cut to Number – 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.
