Board 8 > The Best Board 8 Fantasy Football league 2017 part 3

(+) Yeah! (+)

decent results today, and my opponent played rivers this week so thats a plus

no fournette tomorrow is unfortunate, but right now things are looking in my favor
---

Fournette out today. Trying to figure out if I should play Duke Johnson Jr. or Yeldon in his spot. Yeldon has the better matchup just Johnson had been consistently decent this year.
---

My opponent's Rivers helped make up for my colts D play. And my Shady with the quick TD. Things looking up again for the moment.

Funchess really letting me down here.
---

duke johnson was the right call for me, but op had kenyan drake kind of go off, so still a close match after the 1pm games

Duke for me, too, but only because he was the only real option I had on the bench.
---

ugh the Seahawks are going to cost me this match if they keep playing like this, Im against three rams players right now
---

Was really worried about my receivers going into this game. Hill exploded so that's cool. I figured Green would have a bad game but you can't really bench him. Just frustrating that both Sanders and Cobb (who I recently picked up) both outscored him.

Good McKinnon showed up in the flex today. Seals-Jones had a quiet game, looks like the targets were there but eh. He outscored my opponents TE (cause he left Olsen on the bench) so whatever.
---

well time to throw this season in the trash
---

omg, I'm going to be hitting myself so hard if I lose because I went for the Kenny Britt dart throw over Martavis Bryant. What a dumb decision.

@Suprak_the_Stud, this is going to come down to Freeman vs Beast Mode.
---

hey look my team did that regressing thing

boo
---

my semifinal opponent put up the lowest score of the week

I'm going to be in like the bottom 4

Yeah its going to be within 5 points either way most likely. Your team is honestly better than mine as constructed from top to bottom but Im still hoping I got lucky with a huge Hunt/Rodgers week.

Either way good luck next week!

At least my team didn't suck in their final week of competition.

Seems my winning streak may end.

The Ben td overturned to int cost me like 5 points.
---

I somehow won the game but lost my top rated defensive player (and my previous top ranked defensive player almost paralyzed himself the week before), QB1, TE1, and WR1 all in the same week. I'm like a car that exploded a block before the finish line. My team is now Kareem Hunt, Freeman, and a Frankenstein's monster I put together out of the scattered body parts I found from the corpses of my previous team.

Congrats to VI and sorry to Han, who actually had a chance against VI but I had to ruin things and make this anti climatic.
---

Zuerlien to IR might seriously cost me my league championship. I'm already facing an uphill battle and The Leg has basically been at least an automatic 10 points every week regardless of matchup. Blah.
---

No Thursday night game.
---

Ugh. I want football today though.
---

football ended last week I dont know what you guys are talking about
---

2017 was weird
---

Football tomorrow

Championship weekend.

I dropped one of my bench players for Tony Romo. His presence on my roster will give the rest of the team the spiritual guidance they need to find a way to win.

My opponent is projected for a whopping 132 in .25 ppr. Next highest projection in the league is 116.

At RB he has Bell and Hunt.

At WR he has Hopkins and Michael Thomas.

TE, Clay

Flex, Drake and Juju.

Odds are not in my favor.

You seem to have confused Tony Romo with Tim Tebow.

Only one of them has been a saint in the eyes of the entire football universe this year.

Oh? I mean, I've enjoyed his commentary when he was calling games, but I wasn't aware he was revered for it or anything.
---

Well I'm exaggerating because I like him personally and there's always comments on reddit about it.

I'm having a tough time deciding between Sanu @NO and D. Westbrook @SF for tomorrow.

Is Gurley in your all's championship? Our Gurley owner actually lost in the semis even with him having that monster game.

MysteriousStan posted...

6-7 (despite having the most points in the league by over 100 points...lost to the 5-8 guy twice including last week to keep him out of the playoffs)

This was our Gurley owner. He would have lost to the highest scoring team in the league during the first week of the playoffs though even if he had made it.

It's a tale of two extremes for us. On one side, we have the guy who drafted 1st overall (Bell) and me, who drafted 10th overall (Freeman) out of 12 playing for the championship.

I'm not feeling overly confident, though my team has outperformed his a couple times the last few weeks so it's not impossible. Feel like I'm gonna regret not playing Mike Wallace this game...even though that would have meant sitting AJ Green in all likliehood.

Nope, Gurley owner didnt even make the playoffs

Notable players for me: Gordon, Dez, Hopkins, Ertz, Mariota, some good IDPs

Dang, interesting. Our championship is draft picks 2 and 3 (bell and mccoy). #1 was of course DJ and that guy only won 2 games.

My starting lineup this week has 4 players I drafted.

3 of the people who drafted Top 5 ended up in the bottom 4. Johnson (#2), McCoy (#3), and Julio (#4) owners all managed to qualify for the ACT (our punishment for coming in last place). McCoy owner ended up being the lucky loser but I think she had a much better team than anyone else in the bottom four, just got unlucky.

Bell went #1 and is in the championship. Brown went #5 and I won that matchup last week.

My starting lineup has 4 players I drafted too. Could be more but I'm not about to start Mariota against the Rams (whose Defense I'm playing) and besides, he's sucked all year. Lord Foles will deliver me a championship trophy Monday night!

Im going against VI in our league and drafted 9.

My top 4 picks were:
Freeman
Baldwin
Hunt
Davonte Adams

My MVP was Deshaun Watson. I got lucky last week to win thanks to Freeman and Hunt having huge games, but lost Rodgers, Adams, and Henry in the process.

So basically Im hoping for a miracle this week >_>

well, at least I outdid that guy after drafting DJ #1

not much better though
---

Started today projected to lose by about 20.

Now I'm projected to lose by 45.

:(

Bad McKinnon showed up yesterday. =/

Should probably have played Cole in the flex with Hurns and Lee out. But I wasn't ever really considering benching McKinnon anyway.

Yeah, Thielen put up his lowest score of the season, and Rudolph his 2nd lowest (only 0.2 above his lowest)

Need a Christmas Eve miracle to win

McCaffrey and Freeman aren't doing anything. That's not good. Down 20ish at "halftime" with him still having Bell and his kicker to play. My guys need to step the fuck up right now.
---

not the best rb choices I made
---

So fucking frustrating. Kamara has a below average game, Brees has a below average game, the rest of his team doesn't do much better. All I needed was for my running backs to just have average games and this would be manageable. But Freeman, McCaffrey, and McKinnon can only combine for 17 points. Ridiculous.

Down 23 points. Need Lambo to close the gap cause Monday it's gonna be Foles/Jesse James for me vs. Bell/Jake Elliot for him and with that gap in points I'm not feeling good at all.
---

Projection is 1 point difference between Vi and Suprak.
---

So in the last regular season game, I missed out on $$ by watching bell chip away at my lead on Monday night.

Had I won, he would've missed the playoffs.

Now I get to watch bell chip away at my lead on Monday in the championship.

/cry

Oh well, stoked to make the playoffs and to come out ahead!

My team's performance during the playoffs.

Week 1 - 59.84 points (lowest in the league, only survived due to being on bye)
Week 2 - 145.68 points (3rd highest score that week, got me to the championship)
Week 3 - 53.90 points so far (2nd lowest in the league right now)

My team is shitting the bed at the worst possible time. Like, I rarely scored lower than 90 points in the regular season and now I'm going to have my two lowest scores of the year during the playoffs. Beyond frustrating.

Foles needs to have to top the game he had last week and Jesse James is gonna have to hold onto the ball this time to beat Bell and Jake Elliot with a 17 point lead. I'm not liking my chances. =/

Similar situation to me, just offset by a week. I had my highest score of the season (and highest in the entire league this year) during my bye week. Then in my semifinal I got only the second sub-100 week I had all season (and also my opponent had Gurley).
---

And, yep. My two playoff matches were my 2nd worst and 3rd worst scores out of 16

Football now
---

Vance McDonald is getting targets instead of Jesse James...awesome.
