As the winners celebrate, my team needs to regroup and work hard to ensure that every player on the bench isn’t out scoring most players on the starting line up. The GM and Coach are on the hot seat for sure.

 

[Atomic Punk]

I guess my 3TE set up wasn’t a good idea after all. Sitting at 5-6 after this week and that is with one of the lowest PA in the league.

@jvdesigns2002 congrats. Thought I had it but Mixon just destroyed me. Brutal.

@jvdesigns2002 congrats. Thought I had it but Mixon just destroyed me. Brutal.

:(

wow. I’m not going to lie—I’ve had such horrible fantasy luck in my other league this week that when the Texans Def scored that TD, I legit wrote myself off this week in this league. Just thought it was one of those weeks where the fantasy gods weren’t going my way. There might be stat corrections—so I’m certainly not celebrating anything yet—but one thing I do know is that regardless of the outcome—epic frigging match. Win or lose—hats frigging off. You have a really nice team and you manage it really well.

Brutal for whichever team loses in a matchup of the top 2 scores in the league.
Nice game, fellas.

 

[FarFromHome]

Wow. Nice week boys. 178 and a loss? Brutal.

 

[Chaka]

Darnold gonna throw for 4,500 & 28!

I can't honestly say I believed that when I wrote it but, he's on pace for 4,058 & 32 with 282 on the ground and 1.7 TD

Go figure.

 

[FarFromHome]

Nice trade boys.

Damn. Jvdesign is a handful. Smh

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Yeah didn't want to do it, but I need players. JV is tough no matter if he has Irving or London anyway. I'm not done if anyone else wants to roll. I'm really tired of looking at the same guys.

 

[Chaka]

Damn the trades are flying faster than tuna at a Seattle fish market.

 

[FarFromHome]

Damn the trades are flying faster than tuna at a Seattle fish market.

Yes sir. Competitive league. Can't sit back. Gotta take some chances to get better. Also, I've just always loved to trade.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Damn the trades are flying faster than tuna at a Seattle fish market.

Got nothing to lose at this point. Team has underachieved all year. My chances are virtually nil anyway. Certainly didn't stand a chance the way it was. Still need one or two more.

 

[joey]

Home stretch, fellas. The remaining 3 games are against division opponents.

Good luck to everyone and…..









Congrats in advance to the remaining 3 opponents who are sure to trounce me

 

[FarFromHome]

Nice trade boys!!

 

[DA RAIDERS]

This week cracks me up. The players that we are being forced to play.

In 2 leagues every one of my players on the bench are on byes

I knew exactly what this post is about immediately. Nice night to have Barkley on your roster (I have him in the FBG Bowl league )
Congrats.

 

[FarFromHome]

Overachiever. Ha ha

 

[Chaka]

Overachiever. Ha ha

I never thought it was possible to be too pretty.

Now, I'm not so sure.

 

[Chaka]

Y'know my logic for trading G.Wilson for T.Tracy was heavily influenced by my belief the Jets may be hitting a full blown implosion and the Giants would simply continue being bad. That and getting an "extra" game from Tracy. Thank goodness for [Saquon]Hold my beer.[/Saquon].

Now, I'm not so sure. The Giants look like they're not "quiet quitting" they're in full on off-season mode.

Ugh. My gut feeling now is you're going to win that trade @Atomic Punk

Your way to pretty to explain yourself. Never let em see you sweat. Never justify your actions pretty boy. Stand by them. Ha ha

My people know how pretty they are, and how pretty I am. They appreciate the respect I show them when I demonstrate my humanity. The prettiest human, but still human. That's leadership, IMO.

And, FTR, this isn't a "congrats on your win" post. Merely an acknowledgement that I may not have entirely considered everything going on with the Giants. I still believe the worst case scenario is a push. I was hoping for an upgrade, and some injury insurance at RB. I'm happy to "settle" for a push and the latter.

It was a toss up for me, as I hate giving up RB depth but I’ve never had Wilson on one of my teams, so why not!

In hindsight is was a bad move, as I had Harris in as a flex and Tracy in the RB spot. By the time I got to updating my roster, Harris had already played and o didn’t have anyone other than Laube to put into my lineup. Going to cost me the game this week, leaving me at 5-7.

As my Nonno use to say … whattayagonnado

I didn't realize that. This adds another element to watching tonight's game because I didn't consider Tracy's 10 points this week might help you get the win.

 

[Atomic Punk]

Just bad luck. If I had Harris in at RB instead of Flex, I could have subbed in a bunch of guys into the Flex spot that scored between 10 and 20.

Relying on Andrews is a fitting end to my poor season. I even had to return to the same place I made those horrible 4th-6th round picks for work today for first time since the draft. Andrews, Stroud, and Dell were awful choices. Got what I deserved. Hopefully I'll do better next year. I'll still field a full lineup to give you guys an honest result for these last two weeks. Really appreciate being accepted and it's been a humbling experience. Never quite got my *** kicked this much, but it's a helluva challenge.

 

[Chaka]

So, I hadn't looked at until now. Why did you put Laube in at RB and Najee at flex? Why not Najee at RB and someone like Jakobi or Vele at flex?

 

[FarFromHome]

Congrats FarFromHomes Soldiers on being the first team in the inagural Shark Pool Home league to clinch a division title. Team owner was quoted as being very pleased and grateful for the opportunity. He commented on the level of play being elite from other owners. Finally mentioned you don't always have to be pretty to find success. You can watch this journey next winter on ESPN 30 for 30 A Soldiers March.

Really? A lot of other people do that here more than me. I wasn't even watching the game and saw that Dobbins was having a nice start so I messaged before I went to sleep. Sorry I was wrong.

I had Tracy in at Flex already and didn’t get back to look until after the Thursday Steeler game started. It wouldn’t let me move Harris to Flex after the game started.

Yeah, I’m the king of the “congrats in advance for beating me” schtick.

And, um, I guess…congrats on beating me.

Most efficient and lowest points in a win. Good thing I was efficient.

For people who might be interested in these next year, can someone recap the standings, how the current playoffs teams would look (number and their route in), and how the playoffs work.

@BassNBrew
Pretty straight forward 6 team playoff structure. 2 more weeks of regular season then 1 and 2 seeds get a bye while the other 4 teams matchup in the usual 3v6, 4v5 matchups.

3 divisions. Ranking of all teams simply by record. For example. I'm currently the leader in one division, yet I'm ranked 4th. Divisions really serve no purpose. Straight up record top 6 make playoffs. Top 2 get byes. Pretty standard. Overall pretty vanilla stuff.

 

[-jb-]

Do we know playoff format in this? If six teams advance, it will be an epic finish to the regular season with FIVE teams at 5-7 vying for the final spot. If not, well that's seven years of college down the drain.

Clinched teams (well done, so pretty):

• Chaka 9-3
• JV 9-3
• FFH 8-4
• DaRaiders 8-4
• Deamon 8-4

Bubble(?):

• Joey 5-7
• Chaos 5-7
• TurmOiler 5-7
• jb 5-7
• Punk 5-7

Thanks for coming out:

• LawFitz 3-9
• B&J 2-10

You are correct so your college was worth it. Ha ha. As of today I'm playing 5-7 Joey in playoffs. Technically 10 of the
12 teams are still alive. Work this competition in owners it's not surprising. Its awesome

If you click on LEAGUE. Scroll down to standings. Then to the right click the PLAYOFF icon it displays current playoff seating.

 

[joey]

Gonna be a blood bath for that last playoff spot.

I am totally limping to the finish line with Dobbins, Brian Robinson, Devonte Smith and Downs all likely out. The first 2 RBs were my cheat code of “cheaper RBs” who were way out playing their draft position. My other main cheat code (Godwin) sadly was lost for the year weeks ago and I’ve been scrambling to make up for it. (I know that EVERY team has an injury story or two or ten this year)

All “congrats in advance” schtick aside, my team is definitely not currently in any shape to put up a real fight so it’s gonna take tons of luck from a crazy random high scoring game from a couple of my players.

This year has been a blast in this league “knowing” all of the other players and I’m looking forward to it again next year.

In the meantime…I will fight until the last second to put together a starting roster that can hopefully compete.

Adding to that, I'm sure we all have that one game we blew this season that is really haunting us right now. Mine's Week 9 where it looked like I had it in the bag against jb, only to watch DeMarcus Robinson have the game of his life (a dude I cut previously, no less, and has since been cut by jb). Still, I only needed around 15 from Flacco in the night game, who promptly fell flat on his face and tanked (INSTANT RAGE DROP).

All I needed to do was leave Rodgers in on Thursday Night like I had planned, and his 28 would have easily covered me. I really don't deserve a playoff spot for that move, but I'm still going to try like hell.

And if I somehow come out of this week with a chance, @FarFromHome you're going to rest your guys Week 14 since you've clinched the division... right???

 

[FarFromHome]

@FarFromHome you're going to rest your guys Week 14 since you've clinched the division... right???

I like you. Our time together has created a closeness I didn't think I'd find again. Having said that, I signed a contract with ESPN for my journey and in that contract they are very specific about tanking, no matter the circumstances.

 

[Chaka]

So, the trade deadline has passed. Do waivers stay open through the end of the year?
