The 'ol triple crown! Good luck.Currently 33.9 ahead of 2nd place for the scoring title (3rd place is 99.5 points back). He has Jordan Reed going tonight, and our season goes through week 14 (we play each other next week).
If Reed has a quiet night (~6 points PPR; not likely), then I have a chance to beat him next week for both the division crown AND the points title, which is a nice chunk of change. If Reed gets more, I can't win the division but can still win the points.
Its to be commended that you made the playoffs in 4 of 6.In 6 leagues this year.
I missed the playoffs in two leagues, one of which had the highest scoring team this year, as well as the last 4 years.
Easily the most disappointing strong fantasy year for me.
Reed scored 6.3. Barring any stat corrections, my rival tied his game 88.9-88.9, and then lost n a tiebreaker (bench points). We actually don't play each other next week, so I still need to have him lose to the guy I beat this week.The 'ol triple crown!

I am always in favor of teams who achieve those accomplishments getting cash for it. To me, it marks the true league winner because the playoffs are such a crap shoot. To have best record, most points, and take care of your division/top seed tells the story you had a great year.
In the latter league (auction dynasty), I went 10-3 despite having Luck and Bell as my 2 highest-salaried players. I grabbed DeAngelo a couple weeks before Bell got hurt, and him going to IR freed up enough cap space that I could usually outbid others for the "hot" FA RB (like Langford).Reed scored 6.3.

I'm in another league where I'm the 2nd high scoring team and ALSO in the same division with the top scorer. We're both 10-3 and we DO play each other next week. He's 100 points ahead in the points race, though so I'm not catching him there.
That sounds like the exact same speech I gave on my couch last night. I don't know how I think of myself as a reasonably intelligent man and yet I continue to participate in something that takes so much time and ultimately comes down to 3rd string running backs like buck Allen and c. West, couches and player playing ######## football like you described, and professional real life teams actually paying and playing worthless players like Matt casell.Jeremy said:The Lions and Browns got nothing on me. I had 2 ways to make the playoffs. Win myself or have another guy lose.
The other guy was way behind going into SNF with Antonio Brown and the Steelers kicker. Despite Brown's big day he was still losing by 4 points before Brown returned that punt for a completely meaningless TD. Why he's even in the game at that point, I have no idea.
Then last night I'm about 12.48 points ahead with him having DJax left. 44 seconds left and he beats me by less than half a point.
Thanks DJag for trying to be a hero on that kickoff that lead to needing a TD instead of a game winning FG. Thanks for running in that TD McFadden, you selfish #####. Get 2 yards, go down and your team can kick a chip shot FG with no time left. I wish that would have cost you the game. Thanks Tomlin for putting your best player on the field up 28 points with 4 minutes left in the game. It's not like people get hurt on punt returns or anything. It's not like a fair catch would have made any sense in that situation either.
Ok. I feel better now.![]()
H2H really doesn't make much sense at all in this game except from the perspective of people trying to maintain realism and emulate something or feel like there Is a personal stake in the contest by knowing the opponent and following their achievements. I get it. I think we all do, but it IS majorly flawed. Then again, so is having a bye in your playoffs. People will say "well, that's one week you can't lose" but it is also one week you could have eliminated the team you needed to. Your players get no benefit from it. If nothing else, It's a week where you can sit on "bye" and watch your stud get lost for the season.Statistical oddity in our league points to the inherent problem with H2H formats. 12 team league - Top 6 make playoffs. Top 2 get bye in first round. The team with the #1 overall seed was 10th in point scored, 10th in breakdown (record if all play), but tied with 4 other teams for 1st in best record at 8-5. But due to schedule he was 5-1 in division (weak division) giving him the tie breaker for the #1 spot. Meanwhile the two teams that finished dead last and second to last had the 4th and 6th highest scoring teams - but BRUTAL schedules.
Looked back at our records and this years #1 seed had the lowest season points for any #1 seed in the history of our league (in it's 23rd year). Brutal.
We have an interesting draft setup - you have to have 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR/TE, 1 K, 1 DL, 1 LB, and 1 DB after the first 7 rounds - before you can start getting additional players at any position. With that in mind here is why my team finished 4-9.On one team I lost Lewis, Forsett, Hyde, and Ingram.
TD-heavy scoring he was decent but not great - in reality lots of RB issues out there so he certainly wasn't the biggest offender on my team.Mark Ingram was a top 3 back all year dude.
Fair enough, before last week he hadnt scored a TD since OctoberTD-heavy scoring he was decent but not great - in reality lots of RB issues out there so he certainly wasn't the biggest offender on my team.Mark Ingram was a top 3 back all year dude.
Who is swoop and who is feeling him up?Lost Dalton and Rawls in one felt swoop in the first quarter of Week 14.

He's busy finding...Albert f***** Wilson...deep.Go DIAF Alex Smith... Halfway through the 2nd quarter & zero ####ing targets to Kelce. WTF?
And of course since I finally benched Cobb, Rodgers is going to throw to him ALL ####### DAYStarted the week with a 33+ point lead in total points - last week of regular season.
He's now up 42.5 with Landry going Monday, while I still have Beckham/Hopkins/Bryant/RRodgers left, so I'm going to need those guys to do better than Rawls and Draughn did in the 1:00 games![]()
