That's weird, the FBG query had it over 300 earlier this morning and now has 246? OK, so half....northwoods said:The number is 244 per the Igomatic.

I barely squeaked by in week 10, with my season-low score of 151 (just 3 above the cut). My 4th defense, the Washington Redskins, made their first start that week and I like to credit them with the win (though nearly every starter of mine was essential that week). I'm down to 2 RBs, but fortunately(?!) one of them is CJ Anderson. I thought I was through this week before Wheaton & Anderson blew up; then I ended up with my second 200+ point game of the season.
$248 of my team has made an appearance, with only $2 Jarius Wright still stuck to thebench. But $61 (Bell + Lynch + Scobee) is now probably out for the rest of the season.
Julio is the only one of my 5 pricey studs to live up to his price, though the others have had their moments (like Calvin + CJ this week). Martin, Eifert, and Reed have come through big as mid-priced guys, Watson has been huge, and almost all the other cheap guys have contributed (in most cases with the occasional big game, and not just by squeaking into the lineup).
I don't have very good odds to win this thing, with only Anderson & Martin at RB and a relatively low total score compared to most of the competition left. But, as they say, any given 4 Sundays. I'm one of only 31 teams left with the dangerous Cousins-Reed stack, so at least I have that going for me.

Never seen year like this.
Hilton, Dez, Thomas, Jeffrey could be huge difference makers if they don't get steamrolled by Julio and Landry.

Bad year for the 18-player entries this time around.
Here's the historical percentages:
2010 5415 53 1.0% 1.9%
2011 3568 48 1.3% 2.3%
2012 4633 63 1.4% 1.9%
2013 5519 49 0.9% 1.7%
2014 5667 69 1.2% 1.8%
This year out 4156 entries with 18 players only 31 remain (0.7%) - and there's still one more big cut to go!
The highest ranked 18-player entry still alive is 152nd (86th out of the entries that are still alive).
Only 21 of the top 500 entries have 18 players. Only 6 of those 21 are still alive in the contest.
The small stud-laden roster theory doesn't look like it was the way to go this year.
Of course this is understandable when you look at the big $ players that have had their seasons cut short by injury or underperformed. Seems like there are way more than in prior years.

Found the link to my original breakdown.

Looks like my last minute switch, which put Eifert on my team on replaced the Bengals D with the Giants worked out
Also shows how much luck can factor into this contest - I had Charles on a lot of my preliminary entries and Bridgewater instead of Dalton on many versions as well.
I was also spot on about Scobee's job security
Later on the same page in the thread I note a "woulda coulda shoulda" adjustment that I thought of the day after the contest locked. That version woulda got knocked out in Week 11. The contest locked at just the right time

Was curious about who the best players have been in in terms of points scored as well as who the most important players have been in the contest in terms of actual points contributed in the contest.

Easy to see what the problem using a raw points scored over the length of the contest method - week 1 has 13000+ entries contributing and week 12 has only 1000. Thus Josh Scobee (!) is your #3 kicker in terms of points contributed. The next post will try to correct for this.

This final chart shows the top 10 at each position in points used in the contest when you weight each week the same.
In order to do this I multiplied each week's total points scored by a factor of (13665/Number of Entries left that week).
For example in week 4 there were 9022 entries left. So I multiplied all of the results by (13665/9022)=1.514631.
In Week 12 there were 1005 entries left. So I multiplied all of the results by (13665/1005) = 13.59701.
Doing this puts all of the weeks on an equal bases and thus limits the weird Scobbe-like outliers.
With that - here's the list. With the weighting, the end product number is inflated and thus should be seen relative to the other numbers on this list not the numbers shown on the other lists.
DST 1 Miami Dolphins $7 152,560
DST 2 Indianapolis Colts $5 148,215

I have 11 of the top 25 as well, including the top 4. If I make it through to the 250, I will need Allen Robinson and Mike Evans to explode to have a shot.

Last 2 bits of fun.
Here are two versions of an optimum lineup.
Version 1 is a 30-player entry made up of players that massively overly performed their price point (I made a couple concessions to slightly lower priced defenses - someone doing higher-level number crunching may find a better one). It actually ends up using only $248
Version 2 is an 18-player entry where I took all of the highest scoring players I could while staying under the cap. Again - others may be able to use supercomputers to come up with better but still it's another would-be monster.

I think it depends on how the lateral play is scored. Prior to the last drive had 7 catches for 100 yards. The touchdown play would make it 8 catches for 161 yards. HOWEVER, I believe that he gets "credited" for receiving yards on that lateral play - which would be minus a few yards.

Ah ok makes sense. Just wish they'd figure it out. As of now, MFL, NFL.COM, Igomatics, and ESPN all have a different stat number for R. Rodgers. Strange they can't figure it out 30 min after the game haha

The lateral to R Rodgers gets credited as minus 16 receiving yards. The strange part is that they haven't given Aaron Rodgers the negative yardage for the lateral that went back to him. It wouldn't be surprising to me if this gets clarified at some point.
Under the rules - those lost yards should count against Aaron's total receiving yards (e.g. 0 receptions for like minus 20 yards) - which should cost him some points as well.
