Harris pulled him self out of the game .72 points from a Taco corp ChiBitCty tie!

So that leaves no playoff chance for ChiBitCty - there are four 8-4 teams now, meaning that only teams with 5 or more wins still have at least some hope (3 games remaining in the regular season).

It also complicates the picture for the Cows... they need to win all 3 remaining games OR win at least 2 if one of the top teams loses all 3 remaining but then they also need to win the tie breaker with that team.

So ChiBitCity and Wheels mathematically eliminated?

Wow crazy we have 4 Teams tied for first and four still in the hunt!

This has been one competitive season.

I don't know about you guys but I've been having a blast, but then again I was having a blast last year fighting to not come in last place!

Of course you would have a blast, I have 6 players with Qs and the only hope I got is if Mixon is out and Ja'Marr is in

It would be real cool if our match came down to Chase Vs Higgins points!

All those Q's are expected to play.

Whats nexts week big Match?

You and I of course - could be for the lead if Eli can manage an upset against Jerkers.

Also Cows vs Corpse, especially if the latter lose today - that'd be a fierce fight for that last playoff spot.

I would not be shocked if I lost another week. McCaffrey is beginning to show some minor knee injuries that I speculate would become a major injury. Tyreek Hill also has problems, however, I am starting to be very worried about Lamar Jackson. His hip injury appears to be placing him on questionable for more than 3 weeks every week. I should have dropped Daniel Jones and got Massage Watson from the waiver wire. I speculate that he will give more points than projected for those who rostered him.

It also appears we have a good game for Thursday night football. A divisional game with the Patriots vs. the Bills. Patriots is on the bottom of the division, lower than the Jets. Bill Belichick might have more motivation to win this and also force everyone to remember who he is hehehehe. Patriots +3 is not very good, however. I reckon it should be +6.5.

I don't know about you guys but I've been having a blast, but then again I was having a blast last year fighting to not come in last place!

I get super fatigued toward the end of the fantasy season. Too much shit to take on a weekly basis....i'm tired.  

Like for example, last week vs. ChiBitCTy, Geno, who is usually reliable in not turning the ball over, had an interception and a fumble. Kamara had two fumbles, one on the goal line, Henry fumbled on a big play just a couple of yards from a td (not to mention zero rush first down points, lol wtf?). Andrews dropped a pass in the endzone and was lucky the Jags didn't recover his fumble in the first quarter. Giants scored in garbage time against my Cowboys d/st...and with all this, you end up winning your matchup by one point because of an injury...even wins don't feel right these days.

Speaking of yahoo estimates...

Corpsed at 5th!

Yeah, there are gonna be those weeks and its magnified when they are when things are heating up and the playoffs are in sight!

On the bright side You WON that by one point against ChitBitCty who lost TWO weeks by less than one point which is heartbreaking when your struggling to survive!

Your soo lucky that all that horrible shit happened in one week with your stud team AND YOU STILL WON!

And I gotta say ChitBitCty made some great moves with alot of bad breaks thrown his way this year.

Your depth of roster may come into play soon, you've been very lucky this season not having to deal with injuries like the rest of us.
Ohh, and I've noticed you have made some very nice waiver picks. Who you listening to this year?
Definitely not that moron Steve smith you were listening to last year!

[suchmoon]

Due to how our matchups are set up for this week, we will have at least 6 and possibly 7 teams (out of 8 currently) still in contention for playoffs after this weekend. In other words at least one and at most two teams can be eliminated this week:

1) Loser of Bengals-HH match will get eliminated - with only 5 wins and two games to go no chance to break into top 4 where every team has at least 8 wins.
2) Rollers get eliminated if they lose, for the same reason.

On the flip side, at least one top 4 team is guaranteed to lose this week, which is what keeps the door open for the 6 or 7 teams.

As far as clinching a playoff spot, it's up to Cows:

1) if Cows lose, 2 or 3 spots will be clinched: Corpse of course due to their win over Cows, the winner of Barbarians-Coiners match, and Jerkers but only if they win.
2) if Cows win, no one can clinch this week.



I'm rooting for all underdogs to win this week, no particular reason at all

If it weren’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all lol. Out of my 3 leagues, the other two leagues I’m the highest scorer yet in 4th place for both. For one of them I’m the high scorer but also have the most points scored against. Point being I have the worst fantasy football luck ever.

Here’s my team in the league I run. It’s 12 man mind you. I’ve lost Breece Hall, Zach Ertz and Michael Thomas.
I’ve dealt with countless injuries (Hall, MT, Ertz, Tua, Deebo, Njoku etc).

I mean this is a solid team but imagine if I had Hall/Ertz/MY. FF is so damn frustrating!! 





Okay I just needed to bitch some lol.
Good luck to those of you who will make the playoffs!

So then you are rooting for me?

Is there a prize for last place this year?  I'm thinking I deserve something special for fielding the weakest team on a weekly basis.  Now I know how the NY Giants players felt by Thanksgiving every year for the last 10 years. 😔

No injuries is beginning to make me worried because these injuries might come during week 14. The only chance I have to win everything is for McCaffrey not to be in IR and it appears that he might get injured hehehe. I speculate that there is something more serious with his minor knee injury.

Also yes, I have dropped Steve Smith and have upgraded to Skip Bayless, a very smart man this Skip heheheheee.

Speaking of yahoo estimates...

Corpsed at 5th!  

I do not trust on those estimates too much to begin with, even if yahoo is giving me the edge on our match it is way more closer than what it may seem, Sanders plays horribly every time I play him, I had to play PIT defense as they were the best that were left on FA and right now I have 3 QBs on my team and only one is remotely viable and he is a big risk.

I cannot really play Fields as he is not really recovering too well, besides if I were the Bears CEO I will take advantage of it and use this opportunity to bench Fields and tank for a better draft position next year, as Fields is so good he could win a game or two on his own, then I cannot play Brady either as he is playing against NO and he does not really play well against them, so I have to take the risk and play the favorite QB of bbc.reporter, “Massage Watson”, after almost two years of not playing professionally.

Yeah I don't like the yahoo percentages.  They swing massively throughout all the games.  I never really look at the percentages much rather the matchups of each player.  Yahoo gets it wrong all the time.  With that being said I think if they put me down for 0% for the rest of the year I might change my mind lol they might be onto something

[DireWolfM14]

I know I'm not mathematically out, but I've been considering myself as out for the past couple of weeks.  Still trying to make an effort to keep my team relevant, but I haven't put in the effort this year to research injuries or predict who's going to step up to replace the injured players.  A big part of FF is luck, but if you put some time into research it helps make educated decisions on waivers.

Best of luck to those of you still in contention, but if I can spoil your chances I'm going to put in my best effort to do so!  

[suchmoon]

So then you are rooting for me?

Exactly.

Is there a prize for last place this year?  I'm thinking I deserve something special for fielding the weakest team on a weekly basis.  Now I know how the NY Giants players felt by Thanksgiving every year for the last 10 years. 😔

Bragging rights is the prize... "worst FF team in a Bitcointalk thread league", story to tell your grandkids.

Ok, now that I'm making fun of others I will surely end up in 6th place LOL

[ChiBitCTy]

Yeah yahoo estimates or percentages or whatever you call it are never very accurate or anything I ever count on or use to help me decide on my roster set up.

In another news, who’s been paying attention to this Antonio Brown saga? If I didn’t know for certain that the man had massive brain issues/injuries/likely CTE, I’d almost think it’s funny. But the reality of the matter is he’s very much Kanye like, a deeply disturbed individuals with mental health issues as obvious as they come.

I’m honestly impressed with Tampa police for issuing a warrant for his arrest to remove him from him firearms. He’s the type to go shoot up a place. God only knows we don’t need any more of that here in the US. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs.

Then I suppose I have a great story to tell to my future grandchildren as not only I have the privilege of having reached this honor before, and most likely I will reach it again on the short term future, but I was the first to do so in this particular league.

And about the bragging rights, I am way ahead as I have been bragging about this since the end of the first league on my personal text.

@Eli-2 Brady-0. Michael Carter is projected as D with 0 points.

Agreed. The projections always can change every week depending on performance. Yahoo also cannot project injuries.

In any case, I am excited to witness the return of our favorite regular spa goer hehehe. I am hoping that his return will be more helpful for Amari Cooper than what Yahoo projections expected.

[Hueristic]

Looks like Mixon gonna fuk me this week.

All my RB's play at 1 except Fournette and Mixon and Fournette is questionable as well.

Not sure if its even worth getting up early, think I'll just roll without him.

[morvillz7z]

<...>Sanders plays horribly every time I play him<...>

You needn't worry about him because Chubb and Ekeler both get to play against terrible rush defenses this week. I won't surprised if they end up dropping 30+ fantasy points each, just too easy of a matchup not to take advantage of.

Can't say i like my chances since Hopkins is on bye and i have to play Z. Jones. I'm also stuck with double Saints, players whom i like a lot but they have to deal with godawful playcalling and an uninspiring quarterback on a weekly basis.

9-6, here i come! 

[ChiBitCTy]

What a crazy day of games. Injuries galore. I had a good day gambling but injuries cost me big in the leagues I’m in playoff contention.  Of course my team goes off in this league when it doesn’t matter. I may be out of it but im still trying to play playoff wrecker lol.

What a massively disappointing day for Chubb. I know Watson was rusty and all but how the hell do you not have one offensive TD vs the worst team in the league. Their D went off tho!
