6.35 above the cut heading to MNF with Nuk-3.50My team is still alive and has only been close to the cut once (week 10, survived by 5 points). The 50% cuts for the next two weeks are going to be brutal! And the Rams/Chiefs bye this week make things even more interesting. I have Mahomes and Gurley...

Done. 7 under cut with no one left. Bortles, Conner, and D Johnson let me down. Them and my weak WRs. I knew it would be very tough to get by this week without Mahomes, Gurley, & Hill. Would have been looking real good though if I squeaked into top 500. Good luck to whomever is moving on!

Similar in that I was missing Mahomes/Gurley/Cooks, massively under the cut and done unless Coutee can go 12-200-2 or something like that

Made it a lot further than I thought I would. 4 under the cut with no one left. Good luck.

I was doing pretty well through the first half of the late afternoon games. Then the Steelers decided Conner was more valuable blocking pass rushers than actually touching the ball, the Cardinals got so far behind that DJ became irrelevant and the Dolphins decided Tannehill needed to hand off every play, so they combined for about 3 points in the second half. As a result, I'm 4.5 over the cut with only Fairbairn (-6) and useless Taywan Taylor left. The line shouldn't move a lot tonight, so double digits from Fairbairn might let me squeak through.

Well, if it hadn't ended last week, this week would surely have been the end.
Alex Smith - gone
Mitchell Trubisky - out this week
Marcus Mariota - Seriously? That's who I'd have been counting on?
David Johnson - 79 yards from scrimmage
Melvin Gordon - ACL
Royce Freeman - 17 yards
Peyton Barber - Someone scored, anyway
James Conner - 95 yards from scrimmage
Jarvis Landry - 3 catches, 30 yards
Keelan Cole - bupkus
John Brown - 1 catch 25 yards
John Ross - Hang on, someone else scored!
Geronimo Allison, Taywan Taylor, Terrance Williams, yuck, blecch and pooey!
Travis Kelce - bye week
Greg Olson - 2 catches, 11 yards
Dallas Goedert - 3 catches, 33 yards
Blake Jarwin - 2 catches, 25 yards
Nick Vannett - 2 catches, 22 yards
Kickers and defense - who cares? I'm tired of looking at boxscores.
My question is, with this group of crud - how did I even make it to week 11?
:X
Congrats to those moving on from here!

He is in last place again going into Monday night. Not sure he can make it back to back weeks of miracle comebacks.
I’m one of them, hoping to squeak by but I’m only 4.6 above the cut right now with only Fairbairn left (-12.1), unless Fuller miraculously returns tonight!

actually Matthews can’t help him either since he’s a Jet now. That’s all she wrote.

The week 12 moment of truth is coming for me.
Currently at 162. Cut currently at 163.9.
I have Titans - 8 (Bucs scoring right now) and Fairbairn -6.2 (Carlson scoring).
If somebody better than I at math can tell how the cut moves y points if Fairbairn scores x points that's dope. Otherwise I'll just be crossing my fingers.
As I suspected, it looks like Derek Carr's 15.7 points will do me in.

There's not a math-based answer for that. It depends on whether the teams directly below and above the cut line have Fairbairn or not, and whether or not he's their best scoring kicker.
For example,
If every team within 3 points of the cut line has another kicker with at least 3 points, then his first 3 points will not move the cut line at all.
If every team within 3 points of the cut line has no other kicker and each of them has Fairbairn, then his first 3 points will move the cut line 3 points.
Too many variables in play to give you a direct answer on this.

That was my gut instinct, and why I didn't try further. Just figured worth a shot if someone actually has those variables based on querying the database in a way thats beyond my super-novice programming skills, that they've been doin for their own edification.
Thanks for confirming :(
I'm thinking that it's doubtful Fairbairn alone moves the line too much. So I'm basically going to sit and hope that he gets at least 9 points, and if he gets more I think I will be in the clear. The big issue would be movement from Deshaun/Henry/Hopkins/etc, thought ownership of those is pretty low.

But most of those also have a 3rd QB (at least), and most of those already have some type of QB score. If it's Darnold or somebody with minimal points (Dalton), Watson or Mariota will be a big help. If it's Brady, Ben, Luck or somebody else with good numbers they won't matter. For example, This Team has Goff, Mahomes, and Mariota. But, he also has Brady, so Mariota probably isn't going to raise his score much, if at all.

212.3 with Corey Davis and Fairbairn left still. I think this is the highest weekly ranking I've ever had. I'll enjoy it while I can, because it's a quick fall to the bottom

181 + (hopkins-11). i've only made week 13 twice and the finals once in this contest. my team isn't that great but anything can happen in the final 250. fingers crossed. in my only finals trip, i was leading after weeks 1 and 2 of the 3 week aggregate before imploding to 6th or 7th. soclose.

The first one I cliked on had Dalton, but I get your point. A team that has dumped that much cash into QB won't be a contender down the stretch anyway.

i fit the description of "too much cash at QB". i totally couldve used that extra money at WR

Two has won more often than not, three will work. When you get to four, you would have been better off point wise with 2 more Ds and Ks to throw at the dart board. Things may skew this year with all the cheap QBs generating good numbers.

Found this. 146.25 was the cut going into Monday night the last time the Titans played. That was week 9, the final cut line that week was 149.30. That was a cowboys Titans game with a final score of 28-14.

Carlos Hyde to the rescue in Week13’s final cut?

That last field goal from fairbairn moved the line a little less than a point.
Fairbairn could easily get you over with a couple more FG.

I'm at 202 which is close to my highest score of the year. But I'm a MG owner so my prospects are dim for week 13. That being said, this is by far the farthest I've ever made it so I've got that going for me.
ETA: I'm in 202nd spot and have 186 points. I'm on a 4hr plane ride and misread the webpage after several drinks. Sorry if I misled anyone.

My daughter needs the same on Dec 14 as she applied EA to your alma mater. It's a long shot.

Need a FG now. Like 1.3 below cutoff. My dreams are wasting away.
My alma mater is Oklahoma. Only did my grad school at Stanford. Good luck to her! Long shot indeed, unless she's a D1 athlete. I was a GA while there.
