I'm at 175.65 with Hernandez (-5.1). Looks like I survived the bye week gauntlet. 29 of my 30 roster slots are healthy. You're all screwed!

Wollac. What is your team name if you don't mind telling us?

Weird, I was going to answer this for you but I'm not coming up with any teams that meet those criteria. Something must be off, curious to see which team is wollac's so I can check what's going on with my DB.

I did a search for 30 man teams between $200 & $250Found 112 alive. I'm assuming it's one of the 112http://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/contest_querier.php?elimweek=0&spend_min=200&spend_max=250&roster_min=30&roster_max=30&roster_pos=all&query_type=2

[The Future Champs]

140 with Mark Clayton contributing a very important 5.6. This is the start of something beautiful.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Random trivia. I looked at the top 10 each week and the last 10 surviving (plus ties) each week. Of course since the cut was 0 in week 1, this means the bottom 10 entries. Anyway here's the survival rate for these entries for weeks 1 to 9.

Week 1. 2 of the top 10 remain (including the 1st place guy). 0 of the bottom 10 remain (no shock - in fact the 39 worst entries from week 1 are all gone. This guy is the worst week 1 performer left alive - he was 10,714th in week 1.

Week 2. 3 of the top 10 remain (1st place is gone). 1 out of the bottom 14 remain.

Week 3. 6 of the top 10 remain (but not 1st place). 2 out of the bottom 12 remain.

Week 4. 2 of the top 10 remain (1st place is gone). 3 out of the bottom 12 remain.

Week 5. 2 of the top 10 remain (1st place is gone). 4 out of the bottom 16 remain.

Week 6. 4 of the top 10 remain (1st place is gone). 3 out of the bottom 10 remain.

Week 7. 6 of the top 10 remain (including 1st place). 5 out of the bottom 14 remain.

Week 8. 4 of the top 10 remain (1st place is gone). 1 out of the bottom 10 remain.

Week 9. 8 of the top 10 remain (including 1st place). 5 out of the bottom 13 remain.

This guy was 7th overall in week 1 and 8th in week 7. He's still alive.

This week he's at 81.9 + Brady (-0) + Hernandez (-0). He's also one of 11 entries that had Terrell Owens

This guy was 9th overall in week 3 and 5th in week 8. He's still alive.

This week he's at 191.45 + Welker (-9.1) + Gronkowski (-13.9). This entry has to be considered a favorite to win the whole thing.

This guy was 9th overall in week 4 and 1st in week 9. He's still alive.

This week he's at 137.05 + Vereen (-1.4) + Welker (-8.3)

This entry was 5th overall in week 1, made it by 0.05 in week 7 and then got knocked out in week 10.

This entry finished at the cut line in week 4 and then made the cut by .05 in week 5. He's still alive.

This week's he's at 120.25 + Brady (-17.65)

Interesting stuff.

[FUBAR]

Current cut line going into Monday night is 126.20. That will move up tonight, but how much is anyone's guess. I'll plug Dodds's projections in to get a ballpark, give me a few minutes.

110.25 + Welker + McCluster

I'll guess Welker yields 15, McCluster adds 7; this would give me 132.25.

Is there any chance the line only moves 6 points?

I doubt it, especially during a bye week and with all the accumulated injuries. Many of tonite's player's will be scoring right away. You're best hope for little movement is the Pat's rolling to an easy victory using their run game.

Yeah, I'll be hoping for a mammoth game by Welker.

A repeat of Welker's week 3 51.6 score would be very welcome. If McCluster wants to score in double digits I would take that too.

 

[texan]

Done with 134.55. Rough week with O Daniels and Graham on bye. If I survive, Kendricks adding 5.1 will be the reason. I am not even really sure what to root for here other than a 9-6 ball game. This is the furthest I've made it in the contest, so its all bonus now. Hoping to survive by 0.1.

 

[Lascelle]

So much for being in trouble with both Wallace & Brown on bye this week.

I'm sitting at 172.75 points with Hernandez on deck looking to improve on Lance Kendricks meager 5.1 point contribution.

Thank you muchly Matthew Stafford! Hello Top 1,000 in my first kick at the Subscriber Contest can!

 

[The Man With No Name]

Not even close to making it. Surprised to make it so far with so many week to week injuries, 2 out for the season and byes. #2,3,4 wr out injured this week, #5 got 0. Felix, Wells, Jacobs, McGahee, Harrison, Ringer, Tate at rb with next to nothing. Qb and DT are only positions that scored well. Oh well. Out last 2 years week 9, and was in top 40 in 2007, out early (week 5-6) in 2008.

Couldn't have won or been in the money anyhow.

Looking towards post season contest.

You have both Wallace and Brown? Pitt fan or a believer in that throwing attack?

Probably a believer in that schedule full of awful teams.-QG

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

I always forget about this until the thread is bumped, and then I find out my janky lineup is still alive.

 

[RenegadeGM]

Done at 181.75... though the score is deceiving. The RB position got me a combined total of 7.4 points (Jacobs 4.7, F. Jones 2.7). My only other RBs are DMC (out), LSH (0.4), Hightower (IR) and Redman (bye but insignificant anyway).

Got big weeks from Stafford, VJax, Burleson, N. Washington and J. Nelson.

Looks like I'll make the cut this week... next week will be tougher. Made the finals two years ago - crossing my fingers that I'll claw my way there again.

 

[Saint]

Wow... this is a nail biter tonight. Sitting at 129.25 with cut line at 126. Have brady -17.45 and mccluster -10.40.

 

[frae]

At 126.9 with Hernandez left -0. Hopefully I get 15 points out of him and survive another week. This is my first year in this and I have been following this thread the whole year, very enjoyable stuff.

 

[butcher boy]

I'm at 90.9 with nobody left tonight. What are my odds?

 

[chet]

Wow... this is a nail biter tonight. Sitting at 129.25 with cut line at 126. Have brady -17.45 and mccluster -10.40.

How did you figure out the cut line?

Dead meat, butcher boy.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

111 + Brady + Hernandez - 23 = 130 versus 135 per Dodds #s.

Need 3 TDS from Tom Terrific and one from TE not named Gronk.

It's doable, but I'm not optimistic.

For all the $itching I did about VJax, he came to play, unlike Mario Manningham. Typical Giant.

[ConstruxBoy]

Need about 20-21 from Hernandez tonight. Anyone have Brady's cell number? Or hell, Jeff Gillooly's?

 

[WisWolvrns]

Thomas Jones (+0)... if there was a time for you to have one last moment before you drift off in the sunset, make it be tonight... Probably his last Monday night of his career. Here's for hoping he finds the end zone at least once...

 

[kinghill]

If everyone scores exactly what Dodds has them projected to score tonight, the cut line would move up to 135.65. Obviously they won't all score exactly what Dodds has them projected to, so take it with a grain of salt.

ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod I'm at 128.35 with McCluster left.

 

[Irish Chaos]

115 with welker and bjge....cmon plz plz plz...

I am toast then. 111+Gronkowski.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Not my night when Brady misses Hernandez on the double move for an easy TD and then Gronkowski gets the long TD. Damn.

Maybe I spoke too soon.

 

[H8fulHuck]

Only 9 players on a bye this week. Started today with 103 with Brady -0 and Gronk -3.3

After this season, the dude needs a beer named after him. (dark lager?)

 

[Saint]

Brady is counting for me now... there is a chance!!! Especially if Brady throws a 3rd TD.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Can't believe Hernandez dropped that TD pass.

 

[QuizGuy66]

wow Welker herd is gonna get thinned tonight!

Up to 146ish as of this moment. Hope/think that'll do.

-QG

 

[Saint]

Sitting at 136.3... Is the Turk coming for me???

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Can't believe Hernandez dropped that TD pass.

And if that isn't enough to kill me, they wipe out his TD catch at the end due to a penalty. Unreal. 133.5 sounds better than 126. Good luck to everyone else.

 

[QuizGuy66]

wonder if that 9.9 will get anyone over the line. Or if that BLGE stuff dooms anyone.

[Saint]

5 owners with Vereen... Interestingly enough, according to OC's live scorer, they are all counting the 9.9 as well. Nice time to show up!

 

[H8fulHuck]

finished up with 152 and feeling much better about getting through my worst bye week. the next 2 weeks is where I've been culled out every season. maybe the turk is too distracted to notice me this time???

didn't run the numbers to see if it made a difference, but that last TD could mean a championship for this guy.http://subscribers.footballguys.com/contest/2011/110466.phpNot a lineup that I want to see in the final 250.

 

[BassNBrew]

Check out this Vereen train wreck that may have advanced.

http://subscribers.footballguys.com/contest/2011/109729.php

Vereen was his only starting RB, but Gronk, Rodgers, Burleson, Fitz, and Nelson may be enough to move this team along.

145 and change for this team. Got to be a title contender.

 

[BassNBrew]

I think I'm going to stop looking at some of these other teams. I always thought there was some sort of skill in this contest, but I'm seeing teams that had to be looking at a 5% or less chance of advancing rolling on and looking absolutely loaded.

 

[QuizGuy66]

So done at 146.7.

I don't like going into a 50% cut week without ADP though

[Balco]

I cannot believe I made the cut. Brandon Marshall and Manningham layed eggs, and beanie wells had 3 points. Thank you Matthew Stafford and Ray Rice.

 

[Saint]

Sitting at 136.3... Is the Turk coming for me???

wow squeeked by for another week. Hope my team is holding all those 200+ pt weeks for 12-16:

 

[smarchit]

Missed the cut by 1.05 . (Incidentally, all of my other fantasy teams, including my previously winless rebuild disaster, all pulled out victories this week ) A down week by Welker and D. Moore, goose egg from Decker, byes for Antonio Brown and Superstar Jimmy Graham, and a bad combination of injuries, byes, and underperformances at RB were enough to make Stafford's 45 point week worthless to me.

This is the deepest I've ever made it in this contest. Which I guess sounds better than admitting the equally factual statement that this is the earliest I've ever been eliminated from this contest. Either way, I've enjoyed my rookie season, and can't wait to jump back into the pool and give it another go next year. Through dumb luck and perhaps a very minor input of skill, I lasted a lot longer than I ever expected. Proud to have finished in the top 10% or so, and looking forward to trying to get a bit further next season.

 

[Bankerguy]

I just made it, but not optimistic longer term. The end is near.

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Missed the cut by 6 pts

Thank you OchoStinko for your contribution to this team:

Survived by 0.6!!! Not so fast Turk!

Thanks Mcgahee for your 1.8 and Denarius for your 2.4.
