Unofficial future cutlines: No ties affected the future cutlines, (not counting ties that may affect the final cut numbers):
Start 11139
10% Week 1 Cut to Number – 10026
10% Week 2 cut to Number – 9026
10% Week 3 cut to Number – 8127
20% Week 4 cut to Number – 6511
20% Week 5 cut to Number – 5209
20% Week 6 cut to Number – 4169
20% Week 7 cut to Number – 3341
30% Week 8 cut to Number – 2339
30% Week 9 cut to Number – 1640
30% Week 10 cut to Number – 1148
30% Week 11 cut to Number –804
30% Week 12 cut to Number – 563
40% Week 13 cut to Number – 338
40% Week 14 cut to Number – 203 (means the top 22 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.

Missed the cut by 2.85 pts. Needed another TD from Geno, or SOMETHING from the LVR defense (which scored 3 pts in the first couple minutes and nothing the rest of the game).
Not sure I'd do anything differently. Maybe spend a couple more bucks on defenses (I had NE and LVR, neither of which has been good). Maybe went too cheap on QB (Rodgers, Geno, Stroud), but I honestly expected them to be better than they've been. Hindsight is 20/20. Just didn't catch any breaks this week, other than the great start with Henderson on Thursday.
Good luck to all those remaining.... It's been a fun ride and I'm already looking forward to next year!

Feel like most of the final 250 will have Henderson. I don't, so I'm hoping for Trey Benson to show up strong at the end of the season.
No, you are not eligible. This little side bet was for anyone willing to post their team 2 days before the deadline and not make any changes to it. You did not post your team until after the deadline. But hey, best of luck staying alive!I believe I'm eligible as well 100310We started the week with 19 folks eligible for @Joe Bryant badge offer.

Here we are at week 12 and my squad will face it's biggest test. I built my 30 man roster with a lot of depth, but with so many guys on bye this week, I am vulnerable.
Players on bye (weeks used in parenthesis):
Tua Tagovailoa (4), Jacory Crosky-Merritt (4), Keenan Allen (7), Troy Franklin (5), Zach Ertz (6), Miami-Defense (2)
These guys represent 25.5% of the scores I've used this season (28/110). I'm also coming off of my 2nd worst score of the year and the closest call I've had all season (144.60 pts in week 11).
It's been a fun ride so far, but really want to make it to the finals for the first time.

Well, I had Henderson .. and I am out ... exited Week 10 (missed it by 5 pts FWIW).
I am not surprised >50% Henderson owners are still alive ...
Charles in Houston
Footballguy
Me too. Missed it by 5 pts.
Puppies
Footballguy
Actually only 13.4% of the Henderson owners are still alive.
There are 3,508 Henderson owners, and only 470 of them are still alive.
I suspect what you meant to say is over 50% of the remaining live teams are Henderson owners. (actually 58.45%) .

12 points from Josh Allen is the not the way I wanted to start the week,
dbc925
Footballguy
He who lives with Josh Allen, dies with Josh Allen. This is the week I really need Maye to step up. It's been a pretty good dynamic duo so far.
More bad news, Jordan Palmer's four points are probably going to count for me.
All that said, I wouldn't be too terribly upset if Henderson laid an egg to bring y'all back down to me.

Seems reasonably likely. My pairing with Allen? Bryce Young. Certainly he can score 40 again this week, right?
Right?!?
Charles in Houston
Footballguy
Me too. If he scores that last week, I'm still in this game.
Current contest survival rate is 7.25%
The top scoring duos at each position are:
QB - 12.50% - Josh Allen/Drake Maye - $43
RB - 31.82% - Jonathan Taylor/Christian McCaffrey - $61
WR - 7.02% - Jaxon Smith-Njigba/Ja'Marr Chase - $61
TE - 10.00% - Trey McBride/Jake Ferguson - $45
PK - 12.50% - Cameron Dicker/Jason Myers - $11
TD - 0.00% - Seattle Seahawks/Houston Texans - $12

32% with cmac and jt is impressive
I may be one of a select few who still thinks rostering 2 expensive RB's is the way to go. And by expensive, I mean spending at least $20 on each of them. You can survive and thrive spending $70 rostering 10 low-priced WR's, but it would take a miracle to do the same with RB's.

Jacobs has been worth it. Kamara.......

Kate's Daddy
Anyone else seeing the wrong Byes for this week on tensionmask?
Yeah, it's a little wacky. McLaurin has no bye listed.
Yeah, some expensive guys turn out to be duds, but there's a reason the top 8 RB's all cost $25 or more, with an average of $31.

I’m still under 100. Not great Bob.
Hopefully you have lots of bullets left.
Of the 14 folks left vying for a badge, here are the sweatiest ones:
@H8fulHuck - https://www.footballguys.com/contests/subscribers/roster/109705/week/1 - No QB this week
@Scoresman - https://www.footballguys.com/contests/subscribers/roster/105305/week/1 - Need a monster game from Tet

Ugh. 7 under. Bryce Young needs a big game. Ebuka and Pearsall and Coker over around 7. But still. Not looking great. Jacobs, Kamara and Benson as top three RBs is rough this week.
Gonna need Coker to save you, and you should hope for a low game from Baker
Ya think....
Only 78 Coker owners. We selected for this week.
BassNBrew's pet peeve is people sweating when they are 50 over the line

No QB and only 1 active RB. Wild to be close enough to the cut line to have a prayer Monday night with Kittle.
Week 12 is the furthest I recall surviving in this contest.
Good luck to the bored crew! Pulling for you
He didn't matter from the start, since you are 40 over the line, hahaha

15 below with Young - 12.65, Pearsall - 6.2 and Coker -6.7
Sigh.

Surprised to be only 4 off the pace, I have hope but need Pearsall and Kittle to have good games I think to survive. Good luck to all!
