I apologize for not getting these out earlier.

Week 13 sim. It includes the Thursday game.

Just-for-fun power rankings. These do not include the Thursday game.
Ouch...269 and 341 for projected survival % and power ranking.The SIM has angered Moss, Colston, Harvin, Britt, Maroney, Grant, McCoy, Clark, Rodgers, Ryan (too bad he can't do anything about it) and Longwell (that's right, even a kicker).

See you in the final 250 boys. The SIM has let us down this week (despite this, thanks Doug - you've don't a great job since this thing started).

i'll be done if D. Jackson and Deangelo both don't play.
Eh, it's nice if all your guys play, but what you really root for is the guys you have that no one else has. I have Rodgers, but so does everyone else. So I am really rooting for Hass from here on out.Conversely, all the guys everyone else has, and you don't? You realllllly want them to lay an egg. Ray Rice is lucky I am not his neighbor, I'd be out buttering his front steps.
 
It would be interesting to see how close the final 250 were to being eliminated at some point during the contest. I know I barely made the cut in week 10 (by like 3 points). Not that I'll make it this week, but its interesting.

 
Who are the most popular players at each on the remaining rosters?

This I know:

QB - 344 of the remaining 500 have Aaron Rodgers (68.8%).

RB - 251 have Ray Rice (50.2%)

TE - 176 have Jermichael Finley (35.2%)

DEF - 243 have the Packers Defense (48.6%)

Are there others who are more popular than what I listed? What about WR and Kickers?
WR - 352 have Harvin (70.4%)WR - 204 have D. Mason (40.8%)

Not much uniqueness there, but both helped many get past this cut
Baltimore vs. Green Bay on Monday night is going to make this last cut really interesting.
 
DeAangelo Williams, on 25%of rosters, is inactive today.
And makes me a very long shot to make it through this week... I have both him and DeSean, I am deep at WR, but at RB I only have Rice and Bradshaw left as active options.
I have Kevin Smith as my only remaining RB with DWill out. Pretty sure i get off the bus at this point, but I suppose it could finally be the week the Rodgers/Jennings Combo catches fire. Well, I can always hope. At least I can be rooting for my team as the same time counting on them for the win.
 
Current Cutoff: 90,60Projected Cutoff: 168
Remember well over 1/2 the contest has Rodgers as a QB, with a good chunk of those as their primary or even only QB. This will launch a lot of teams up the chart on MNF. With the small population and large % held for the MNF players, things are gonna move a ton. Rice is on almost as many teams as Rodgers is as well, but I'd expect his score to have at least some resistance early.

How the hell does Drew Brees throw for 419 yards and Marques Colston gets 46 of them? That offense is amazing.

Like just about everyone else in the contest, I have Rodgers at QB and the GB defense. My kickers have let me down, and I have too many 10-12 scores right now. I need someone to blow up to have a shot, and while Vernon Davis is trying, I think it's gonna have to be ADP tonight.

Anyone that is still in this contest that hasn't subscribe yet to the semi-live scoring at http://TheFantasyStar.com/fbg35k is welcome to use the service for the remainder of the contest for free.

Good luck everyone!
Thanks again for this. I ponied up a couple bucks and I'll definitely be back next season!

I've squeaked by something like 3 times by less than 5 points. However, things are starting to look bleak this week so I may not make the final 250.
 
It's a big TE score kind of day. In the end, the teams with the haves (Davis/witten/gates) v. the have nots (Clark, Miller, Olson) may be the deciding factor in splitting the 500.

I doubt it. Davis is on 35 rosters, Witten 31, and Gates 14. They will certainly help those teams but I dont see it being the deciding factor.
 
Man, comes down to two games for me... seems half my roster is playing tonight or tomorrow!

Rodgers

Rice

B. Wells

Fitzgerald

Harvin

Mason

Finley

Cards D

Pack D

Oh yeah, thank you Josh Morgan for giving me a chance :popcorn:

 
Cutoff sitting at about 117 right now. Bottom 250 has 93 teams without QB scores. Since 196 of these 250 teams have Rodgers, count on him pushing pretty much all of them forward at a full force. There are 8 players left to play on over 20% of the remaining rosters. Here they are:(player/owned/currently under cut)

Harvin 352 190

Rodgers 343 196

Rice 251 132

Packers 243 138

Mason 204 113

Grant 203 113

Finley 176 102

Jennings 101 60

These are the ones that will move things a lot. Good luck to all of you counting on them to push you in!

Ohh dang...

108 with a few people yet to go...

Ray Rice (-1.5) and looks like I'll take a 3.4 from Felix

Then I have the following at (-0),(-2.1),(-12.6) with

Boldin

Harvin

Mason

Finley

Packers D.

Cards D.

Thank you Garrard/Bess/V. Davis for giving me a chance this week.

 
Going to be very close for me. Thanks to V Davis and B Jacobs for giving me a shot. Sitting at 118 with Flaco (-0) and Mason (-7) left to play. Last week the 2 combined on Sunday night to push me from the border to clearly in. This week I'm sure I will be on the outside looking in after tonight's game. At least I have a shot still!

Your probably right. I was thinking more of how many common players there are and that scores will likely be fairly clumped together - TE's are one of the positions that there are not a ton of similarity.Anyway, I have Witten, so it's probably wishful thinking
 
I'm going to drive to Minnesota and kick the #### out of Brad Childress. Here's a thought, moron -- if you're not throwing the ball worth ****, perhaps you should try establishing a running game.

 
Is the 168 projected cutoff still holding up?
Looks like the 168 projected cutoff was as of 4:52 EST...so there's no doubt it's changed since then...I'm curious to see what it is currently.
Current is just over 135 right now, projected is about 159. Still a huge jump, and that is based on Rodgers only scoring about 25 points. He's beaten that handily most weeks lately, and you can probably bet the cut moves about .5 points for every point he puts up above his projection.
 
Yikes, starting to sweat now.

Projected cut 159.0

Current score 159.4

Still have Rodgers (-25.4), Mason (-13.5), and Packers D (-5).

If I lose I can thank DeAngelo, Westbrook, and Leon for leaving me with McCoy and Chris Brown at RB this week.

Top 250 sure would be nice.

+++++++++

Hey 83.8 to make it through - I will take that. Thanks DD.

Yuck...not looking good for me.

I need a bunch of screen passes to Grant and Finley to have a game. Rodgers, Grant and Finley left but under the projected cut by 40 or so points.

My RBs and DEF all killed me this week. Clark's 3 for 25 is also a far cry away from his typical production. Meh.

About an 8 1/2 % chance of survival. OOF. Need Baltimore to win about 28-7 with flacco having about 3 or 4 TDs or so and Mason catching a couple of those. So close to the finals and yet so, so far away!

 
I'm currently 481 out of 501 teams with a 0.2 survival rate.

:shrug:

I don't think its too much to ask for 3 TDs and 100+ yards from Jermichael Finley tonight. Or, 2 long TD screens to Grant.

With everyone else and his brother owning Rodgers (myself included), I need a heaping helping of Grant and Finley for any chance to make the final cut.

How is Meachem's fumble return TD being scored? When it happened, I took a look at the rules and assumed it would be a TD for the Saints D/ST.The email Joe Bryant just sent out seems at odds with the contest rules though. It seems weird to have Joe say the play should be scored one way but have his official contest score it a different way.

As I posted in the pinned thread, I vote for a replay of the final 500 teams.A do-over, if you will.

Joe said your leagues rules always apply first. If you don't like the result, change the rule - next season. The FBG Subscriber contest has some unique, and short, scoring rules

Yes. League rules always apply first. I'll be getting with Doug Drinen and David Dodds and we'll have a ruling here soon on what we're doing for the 35k contest.

I realize that, but since FBGs made the contest rules, Im interested in hearing why the rules are at odds with what FBGs think is right way to score the play.

If I've calculated it correctly...Of the teams that the Pre-MNF sim projects to make the cut, 98 have Meachem. In the bottom 250 = 36 teams.

Those projected to make the cut and owning the Saints defense = 65 teams. Below the cut-line=42.

Since I have both, the proper answer is of course to score if for both! :unsure:

There is no way within the contest scoring rules that this can be a TD credited to Meachem. Neither a Passing, Rushing or Receiving play. End of subject there.The question becomes the NO defense/ST.

The play as officially recorded states 44 yd Fumble Recovery. The league rules are: Defensive/ST TD = 6 points (Kickoff return, punt return, blocked FG return, blocked punt return, interception return, fumble recovery return, etc. Note: ALL fumble recoveries and non-offensive TDs will count)

The question is in the ALL (bold type on the rules page) fumble recoveries.

Even though I don't have either and will probably get hurt by it. I think the right thing is to credit the NO Def/St with a Fumble recovery TD.

Does anyone who has Meachem in the contest see the points for the TD using that FantasyStar site?

I would imagine the scoring defaulted to the DEF/ST and Meachem didn't get credit for the TD, but I certainly could be wrong with that assumption.

Per Fantasy STar NO d/st (8pts). Meech (28.2pts)
