What do you need to win? **Christmas Miracle edition** (2 Viewers)

[davidwb]

Down 37 with Waddle, Hopkins, Conner, Jeudy, Dicker, and Derwin James vs. Godwin, Devin White, and Budda Baker.

Down 11 going into MNF. My opponent has no more players, while I have Dicker the kicker and Derwin James. Looking much better than yesterday, but not a sure thing yet.

 

[-OZ-]

SF - I’m up by 11 with Foles, Campbell, Paye and Ekeler vs Mike Williams and Buckner. Feeling moderately comfortable here but Buckner has produced multiple 20 pt games and Foles/Campbell doesn’t inspire confidence.

Toilet bowl - down by 15 with my Everett and Okerekee vs his Gilmore. This one could be very close.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Dicker the Kicker
3 FGs 40-50+ yds and a couple XPs

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I’m up by 54, I have Brady, Okereke, Buckner & the Colts K

My opponent has Godwin, D.White,B. Baker & Tranquil.

I *should* be a lock.

But any given Sunday, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Well this was certainly closer than I expected. Especially when Brady had 2 points into the 4th quarter.

Finished with 20, AJD with 13.

I’m now up 27 with K, DL, LB against Tranquil,

It’s a

LCG-bound for the 1st time in 9 years in this league after getting bounced from the playoffs 2x and missing them as high score leader last year.

Can’t wait.

You can’t get a sense about how many points Brady is going to give you until the fourth quarter. That offense is exponentially better in hurry-up than in regular mode.

 

[jm192]

Going into Monday night, I need Zack Moss and Mike Williams to tie. I'm up by 1.xx. I have Moss vs his Williams.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Up by 2.4 with Ekeler to go. Opponent is done.

Do I tempt the fantasy gods by sitting Ekeler?

I kept saying to my friend after the game, “why didn’t they just go hurry up all game?!”

It’s so obviously the only way they’re a competent offense.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Up by 2.4 with Ekeler to go. Opponent is done.

Do I tempt the fantasy gods by sitting Ekeler?

That’s just asking for a Thursday stat change to cost you 2.5 points.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Up by 2.4 with Ekeler to go. Opponent is done.

Do I tempt the fantasy gods by sitting Ekeler?

No fn way

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I need Pittman and McLaughlin to go OFF

65-63 tonight would be awesome

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

In my dynasty loser bowl (my full rebuild) im up 16.7 with Deon Jackson left.

Opponent has Keenan Allen + Justin Herbert.

It’s only .1/30 for passing, but PaTD are 6.

It’s possible for me to hold on, but I’d need to be very lucky. If I win I’ll be the heavy favorite next week. Loser bowl champ gets supplemental pick 2.13, and I have 3.01, so it would be awesome to win the LB as the 1.01 next year. I can use all the pieces I can get.

Should be very close & I have a good chance if Jackson gets some receptions & maybe a cheapy TD. Need INDY to hold the chargers to FGs.

 

[-OZ-]

Up by 2.4 with Ekeler to go. Opponent is done.

Do I tempt the fantasy gods by sitting Ekeler?

No. The chances of him getting negative yards or zero yards and a fumble are less than a stat correction.

 

[BearsFan4Life]

Thank you to the Rams D for keeping Murray under 14.6 pts allowing me to advance to the Championship!

 

[JohnnyU]

Pittman needs to outscore Exeler by more than 12 points.
Chargers defense needs to score 32 points

At least I advanced in one leagu.

 

[Dizzy]

I need Justin Herbert to stay under 26 pts tonight (3pts/TD pass).

 

[Runkle]

Looks like I need the combination of Michael Pittman, Zack Moss, and Chase McLaughlin to total less than 50 points in .5PPR. However, it would also help my chances for next week if Indy wins the game outright. So definitely want the first half and hoping to thread the needle on the second half.

 

[JohnnyU]

Damn all of you. Not one person said, JohnnyU you have a chance and make me feel like Lloyd Christmas.

 

[titusbramble]

Pittman needs to outscore Exeter by more than 12 points.

What, the whole city?

 

[JohnnyU]

Pittman needs to outscore Exeter by more than 12 points.

What, the whole city?

Lol, Ekeler typo / autocorrect

twice LOL

 

[Winning IS Everything]

I am up 35.5 points and I am done. My opponent has Ekeler and Keenan Allen in a NON-PPR league. Should be a close one.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Down 25, with Herbert and Ekeler against Indy DST. Herbert didn't exactly inspire confidence last week. Hoping he bounces back. Throwing a TD to Ekeler would be nice, too.

 

[scottybo]

Mike Williams to get less than 23 points in DK rules to move on to final round of Best Ball. Hope he gets the Gilmore shadow.

 

[eighsse2]

I have McLaughlin and Chargers, and I need 34 points.
Weird scoring so I'll spell it out:

K scoring
XP = 1
<50yd FG = 3
>=50yd FG = 8

DST scoring
Shutout = 7
Yards offense allowed is a scale that pays 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 10 or 14, but usually results in 0, 1, 2, or 3. Gotta keep a team under 225 to get the 7 or 125 to get the whole 14.
Sack = 1
DFR = 1
INT = 2
Defensive or special teams TD = 6
Safety = 2

So, there are ways it can happen, but very unlikely.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Pittman needs to outscore Exeler by more than 12 points.

I need Pittman bigly myself

 

[habsfan]

I'm done and up 29 against Herbert and McLaughlin tonight. A decent night by Herbert and I'm toast.

 

[rzrback77]

Just saying that it is so totally unexpected that teams are counting on or concerned about Zach Miss here in Championship week.

I am one of the concerned, leading by 40 something against him and Mike Williams.

 

[GrantK]

Down 31 with Ekeler going, full PPR, 6pts all TD's, need an Ekeler miracle...

 

[greenmountaingoat]

I need about 50 ppr points from k Allen, m Williams and chargers dst. Could roll moss or deon out there instead. I’m lucky to have made it through so not really disappointed if I lose.

Yeah, I totally expected to be counting on Nick Foles

If today’s news on Fields was bad I was looking at Foles or Mayfield for the LCG.
So….yeah.

 

[JohnnyU]

Down 31 with Ekeler going, full PPR, 6pts all TD's, need an Ekeler miracle...

How is Ekeler’s shoulder? I need him to not play much.

 

[facook]

Over 18 ppr points from Deon Jackson, and less than 13 from Gerald Everett (or if both go over, Deon 5 more than Everett at the end of day).

 

[zeke2222]

I need Mike Williams to catch 1 pass all game or no catches would be ok !! If he catches the one pass for 10 yards in PPR he would get two points. I then need him to realize at that moment that he forgot to give his Mom her Christmas present and leave the stadium immediately to go give it to her. Hopefully it takes him the rest of the Game to get back to the stadium. !!! Don't laugh!! It could happen!!

 

[jerry jones]

Everett to stay under 10 points…championship

 

[zeke2222]

Up by 2.4 with Ekeler to go. Opponent is done.

Do I tempt the fantasy gods by sitting Ekeler?

That’s just asking for a Thursday stat change to cost you 2.5 points.

or if you don't sit him its asking for him to get tackled for a one yard loss on 1st handoff and fumble and get hurt on the play

 

[Gottabesweet]

Down 42.6. PPR.

I have Fournette, Godwin and choice of M. Brown or R. White?

This hit.

Now I need 18 from Herbert, Keenan Allen and Chargers DST. Not counting my chickens. Crazy week.

 

[Jayded]

Up 85, he has Zach Moss + Zaire Franklin + DeForest Buckner while I have Drue Tranquil.

Should be totally fine unless the Colts teach the Chargers how to epically collapse.

 

[greenmountaingoat]

I need about 50 ppr points from k Allen, m Williams and chargers dst. Could roll moss or deon out there instead. I’m lucky to have made it through so not really disappointed if I lose.

Got the last point I needed on the 6th sack by Indy. Up by 1.86 now. Can’t believe it. I was the plucky underdog against the kid that led the league in scoring by nearly 200 points. Losing RBs like flies. Best win in a long time for me. Started the year 0-3. Off to the championship!!!!!

 

[lsufan]

I needed Ekeler to get 15 to make the finals and he did. Now i feel good next week.

 

[BobbyLayne]

#1 seed in our league needed 7.82 from Pittman

Win probability dropped from 70% pregame (projected was like 15.82) to 22% before the last drive (2-14, full PPR)

caught a 19 yarder with 4:34 left

no sense of urgency from Colts, not even trying at that point (3 score game), no one is calling a time out

1st & 10 sack 4:03 left
2nd & 13 sack 3:19 left
3rd & 21 short pass to D Jackson 2:38 left
4th & 9 let it run down to 2 minute warning

6 yard pass to Michael Pittman after the break

4-39 7.90

FINAL 134.03-133.95

on to the championship by 0.08

 

[Largent72]

I had a 9 point lead going into tonight, he had Herbert. I didn't even bother to watch the game, assumed I'd be done in the first half. On to the finals !! haha

 

[Judge Smails]

Well after Kittle went off on me I do need a Christmas miracle. Down 52. Have 3 players left - he has none. Mike Evans , deciding between D Jackson and Wilson if active, and Broncos D. Our D’s can score 25-30. Hoping for 3 Baker Mayfield pick 6’s. No chance of Evans doesn’t go over 100 and at least 1 TD

My 3 players scored -2 combined. Some miracle!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Started the night up 27. Finished the night up 50.

On to the LCG.

Damn, that's unreal. If that pass went 5 yards instead of 6 yards, you lose. Damn!

Update: Jackson did nothing, I’m out.


But I’m the heavy favorite in my redraft LCG.

Not that anyone cares, but I held on and won by 5.5 points.

 

[(HULK)]

I need a good to great performance from Denver D.

Circling back on this. Denver got me -4 points, leaving me with a 9 point something lead while my opponent had 3 players left. Somehow, someway, those 3 player COMPLETELY crapped the bed and I still won. So, on to the championship for me. I guess my miracle was the total meltdown of my opponent's players and not the ascendance of my own.
