I won my league despite getting no production from the WR position throughout the entire year and especially in the playoffs.

Week 14

T. Smith- 2 points

Givens- 5 points

Week 15

Alexander- 0 points

Britt- 1.2 points

Weeks 16

Amendola- -1.5 points

Lloyd- 9 points

 
Tony G 1.9 points

/

Losing Gronk and Fred Davis and having Brandon Mysers ####ting the bed at the end of the season

/

my opponent having the vastly superior lineup

Foster, Peterson, Andre Johnson, Dez Bryant

 
Never being able to figure out which tight end to start week in / week out. (VD, Bennett, Dreesen, Scheffler carrousel)

 
...only getting one combined point from Arian Foster and Aaron Hernandez in the championship game.

...facing Drew Brees and Marshawn Lynch in the championship game.

...oh and losing two kickers to injury before the bye weeks started in a league that only allows one free agent pick up a week(thus having to waste three early season waiver claims on replacement kickers.)

Doug Martin combining for 13 points in the two playoff games.

RG3 being out for playoff week on and pretty much a non factor in the championship.

Starting Scheffler in the championship.

Not playing the correct player at any position there was an option.

 
I won despite starting EVERY STINKING WEEK the one defense that put up 4 points while the other two Ds on my roster popped off for 20+. Most annoying thing ever. Also won despite starting Vernon over Olsen until I came to my senses around week 10 and going with Wallace over DX week 16.

 
I won my league despite having Demarco Murray and Darren Mcfadden as my top two running backs (along with flavor of the week fill ins along the way). Matt Ryan, Jason Witten, and a receiving group of Brandon Marshall, Percy Harvin, Stevie Johnson, Michael Crabtree, and Pierre Garcon really gave me a leg up on the league in that area. I also had Hakeem Nicks who I should have traded for a RB after week 2.

 
Going against Stafford and Calvin Johnson in the championship.

Having to start Scheffler as my TE in the championship.

Drafting Cutler and Locker as my QBs.

 
Took down the FFPC $1K VP League despite not selecting a RB until the 4th round.

Rd1: CalJo

Rd2: Marshall

Rd3: Cruz

Rd4: Gore

RD5: Witten

:thumbup:

 
12 team PPR league, start 2 QB.

Won despite losing Foster, Cobb and Forte to injuries, Victor Cruz, and starting a combination of Ryan Tannehill, Chad Henne (starters yesterday), Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jake Locker all season.

Won yesterday because Cobb and Forte did enough before they went down, Tannehill, the Broncos and Dolphins DST and one Dez Bryant.

despite harvin? he was probably the reason you were in a position to win.that guy was amazing.
For sure, but I thought I was toast after he went down since he was almost a lock for 10+ points in .5/1 PPR leagues every week.
 
It all worked out, despite playing Amendola in my flex. Just lucky the rest of my team showed up in a big PPR way!

Brees

AJ

Julio

JCharles

Spiller

Pitta

Amendola

Shane

Packers

 
I won despite:

* Gonzo putting up a stinker

* Sitting DX for Amendola

Brees gave me a huge day as did the CIN D. My opponent's team was scary on paper but fortunately the almost all underperformed aside from J. Charles.

 
I won despite not having a tight end. Deep roster IDP league that allows no trades or waivers after 11. Lost both tight ends in week 14 and 15.

 
week 15:

D. Alexander and Roddy White combine for 1.06 points

Week 16:

Frank Gore and Arian Foster combine for .76 points

Thank you Tony Romo and Marshawn Lynch!!!

 
I won the toilet bowl (pick 1.01 next year) despite having to start David Wilson, Dwyer, Anquan Boldin, and Andrew Hawkins the last 2 weeks.

Dude - he missed half the year.
he played 9 weeks with no bye (since his bye was late). that's 9/14 if the reg. fantasy season.we was like #2 wr in ppr leagues at that point for a 4th round pick.through harvin's 9 weeks i was 7-2...which set me to win the championship. dude was amazing on a ppg basis.so /facepalm.
 
I won my league despite trading Vincent Jackson and a 2013 1st round rookie pick (it's a dynasty league) for Larry Fitzgerald.

Ironically, I ended up playing the team I traded with in the Super Bowl.

 
Trading Brandon Marshall for Percy Harvin after 5 weeks (dynasty). Losing Gronk. Benching Charles. Facing Calvin. Thanks, Drew Brees!
