Teams that have clinched with 2 weeks to spare (1 Viewer)

I have an 11-1 and 10-2 team, both clinched byes. So my only care about week 13 or 14 is staying healthy and who i play week 15 in the semi's. With that said I'm looking at my team's strength of AJ, Roddy, Knox, BMW at wr. With Foster and SJax as my only viable rb's (Donald brown- you suck) I'm scooping up Ward and Darby (hopefully my claims go through). I also cut blair white and keiland williams types who shouldn't really help me. I scooped up Jason Snelling because we all know what he can do if he starts. I'm also looking at tashard choice, rashad jennings, javon ringer, etc and hoping within the next 2 weeks one becomes a starter.

So what are you doing?

 
I picked up Westbrook and Toby Gerhart with the possibility that they can both be solid flex options down the road. Especially if Peterson's ankle is worse than we have been lead to believe. I cut all the scrap from my bench for these two as well as Ringer to ensure the handcuff to CJ if he goes down. I didn't bother doing this for MJD because he doesn't seem to have a clear-cut handcuff and it would be a meaningless 50/50 split most likely on a team that isn't particularly good at blocking and is usually behind.

I stashed TB for the week 15 playoff game, and have Baltimore for the next week. I also have Romo and Vincent Jackson riding the bench in the scenario that either can be back for the final two weeks. I am salivating over the matchups Dallas has, and would easily place Romo over Eli in those matchups.

Basically I have trimmed all the fat/depth off of my roster through trades, and at this point have stockpiled any players that can be relevant for weeks 15 and 16 which are the only important ones.

 
Since I'm not too worried about winning now (although my league rewards high score for each week), I'm going for defenses that have good playoff matches. Other than that, not much you can do. I wish there was I way I could bench my studs so they don't get hurt.......... :lmao:

 
I clinched the #1 seed prior to the week 12 games and had been just hoping for no injuries, which didn't work out thanks to Gore. Similar to above...making sure I have a good backup at each spot in the event I need it but unfortunately "good backups" is very relative. Just gotta get through the next two weeks unscathed.

 
Last week...got backup QB just in case.

Looked at matchups for Defenses

Grabbed a couple guys off waivers who might have a chance of doing more for me based on matchups.

Now, just sitting back until week 15.

 
Last week I Grabbed my key RB backups and others (Ringer,Gerhart) and finally let go of S. Greene.

With a bye my next meaningful game is week 15. Targeting Brian Hartline on waivers for depth during week 15/16.

Praying I get a Kenny Britt sighting starting next week.

 
My plan is to pray that Peterson, Nicks and Gates all return to proper health in time for playoffs. With deep benches, there isnt a whole lot left to do from a WW perspective.

 
Picked up the two defenses playing Arizona in 15/16

Picked up David Buehler who is on a good offense with warm and dome games 15/16

Picked up a bunch of RB backups who could be very good if the starter goes down (James Davis, Jerome Harrison, Mike Bush, Bernard Scott, Westbrook)

Found religion and began praying that two of said RB backups can fill in at RB2 and flex for my injured Gore and Best. :goodposting:

I play for highwcore despite the clinch of #1 seed. I built my league to reward all teams for high scores every week and I eliminated the ridiculous bye week. You should fix your league rules so that stupid issues like this don't happen.

I have a 64 point lead over the 2nd place team for total points for the year. there is a year and weekly total. I am rolling out brees, foster, sjax, knox, andre, roddy, gates, steelers and some kicker this week. i just happen to be re-tooling my bench.

10. The only non-RB players on my bench are Randy Moss, one of my QBs (Flacco/Fitzpatrick), and one of my two playoff defenses. The other 7 are the RBs.
