I'm a genius, decided to listen to the pundits instead of myself and last second pulled Zay Jones for Higgins and Monty for Bam Knight.

Looks like you still might win your match, albeit with a less crushing score than it could have been.

And whats up with this, make up your mind LOL

Classic flip flipper lol.  Without looking my guess is you never even started him.  Anytime I flip flop on a player like that amd they are available week to week I never even start him.  Terrible year gonna have to change up my draft for next year, good luck everyone

I actually played him alot this year but normally your spot on on that.

Looking forward to you getting a better draft next year.

Haven't forgotten you got boned and took it like a man.

HAHAHa stupid Damian Harris!

Yeah I was holding on to Harris because he was good for my team last year, but this year he's good only for filling an empty IR slot.

I thought he was gonna turn into a nice sneaky play with Stevenson hurt. Doh

Hehehe this is very much a similar behavior to NFT trading or they call this flipping.

In any case, week 16 will be a bye week for all of the participants. This will be very useful for me to check on the health and performance of Lamar Jackson and my favorite trade of the season Dallas Goedert hehe. They are speculated to be taken out from the injured list and play on christmas eve!

Hehe what is bad for Harris is good for Stevenson and Stevenson was on questionable for the whole week, I thought I was dead and would have to depend on the tie breaker.

In any case, Did anyone watch Patriots vs. Raiders? Heheheheheheeeee.

[suchmoon]

LOL Patriots managed to fail more horribly than Raiders. Could have had another chance in OT but no, let's throw some laterals. Brilliant.

[Hueristic]

I'm not watching the Pats again until Mac Jones is fucking GONE !!!


Great match Chi, I got lucky after putting the worst possible roster I could have.

Should have put Murray in for Mixon LOL

[suchmoon]

Congratulations Hueristic and South Park.

If I'm looking at this right, Corpse is out, and Cows are in. Barbarians are obviously in. And I think I'm playing Cows again next week

[South Park]

In any case, Did anyone watch Patriots vs. Raiders? Heheheheheheeeee.

NE is not often on TV anymore since Brady left but I did watched that highlight, and without a doubt it is terrible, it is so terrible that I find difficult to describe it, but I will say that it is at Butt Fumble level, it is nowhere near as funny, but it is bad, really bad.

Congratulations Hueristic and South Park.

Fun Fact: The Q/Cows are 0-5 against all the teams that made the postseason this year, 0-5 against Hueristic all-time, 0-6 against bbc.reporter, and I think 1-3 against you, so it seems you got lucky by facing the Q/Cows again, as it would be very difficult for the Q/Cows to beat the Coiners.

So 1.3pts this week versus .96 points from week 6, wtf lol.  That feels like just yesterday too, I can't believe we are in the final regular season week of fantasy.  

Nah I think you made the right move by choosing Mixon over Murray.  That's more luck than anything in my opinion.  I'm not sur we will even see Latavius Murray in the NFL next year.  I guess you could make an argument you should have started Montgomery over Mixon (being that Herbert is still out) but I dunno, hard for me to ever sit guys like Mixon. I mean he did just go off for 66 points not all that long ago (though yeah he's not been so great since).  


But yes, great game ..again..congrats.

[DireWolfM14]

Lol, he's looking pretty bad, but I don't see him as the problem.  Belichick is a defensive coach with no offensive coordinator.  That's the fist thing that needs to be fixed, then we can talk about a quarterback who's better than Mac Jones.  His situation is reminding me a lot of Alex Smith's when the 9ers drafted him in 2005.

That's all she wrote for the FF regular season, it looks pretty much official as of now.  Congrats to suchmoon, bbc.reporter, Hueristic, and South Park for reaching the semifinals.

On the other end of the table, it's tight race for last place.  At the moment I hold that spot by a mere tenth of a point.  I just need Arron Jones to gain a net two yards, or my team is officially the shittiest.   

[bbc.reporter]

It appears the playoff for our league will be on week 16. I thought week 16 will be a bye week and we resume on week 17 and have our champion on week 18. I will need Lamar Jackson to win against Hueristic but it does not look good for him and his knee, and this is clearly not very good for me and my team hehe.

According to some news articles, Lamar has a PCL knee strain. Grade 1 PCL will need up to 2 weeks to heal, grade 2 will need up to 4 weeks. However, it was never mentioned if Lamar has grade 1 or grade 2 and it has only been on the 3rd week. I am afraid that he might not come back until the post season.

[nutildah]

Well I'm out, at least I won my last couple games I guess...

I usually only catch the late game every Sunday, have been faithfully watching every Thursday night game on Amazon Prime, but I notice the NFL has been doing these well-produced game summaries on YouTube where they clip together all the highlights into one 15-20 min video for easy viewing.

This was a great one to rewatch... 'Ol Sucky almost pulled off a V but it was snatched away from him by some amazing offense by the Vikings. This was one of my favorite moments of the reel:

https://youtu.be/L_hlvNda2E8?t=519

What was that Cousins? I guess he was either under immense pressure or he just hit puberty, one or the other.

I'm at the casino this week and don't have the link or even remember my password.

Whats the link for the league?

Looks like my QB will be out next week as well.

Yeah, you massive bills stack could have won but also it can and did  bite you in the ass.

The theory was to have the fantasy championship game during week 17 in case teams rest their star players during week 18.  This is based on the assumption that the top teams may have nothing left to play for.  For example; if the Eagles win this weekend they'll clinch the top seed in the NFC, and can start all their backups the last two weeks of the season.  No need to risk injuries for their starting lineup.

That was an amazing comeback, one of the best in NFL history.  Vikings fans will remember that one for generations to come, despite Cousins, lol.  I still remember when Jeff Garcia lead the 9ers back from a 28 point deficit to beat the Giants in a wildcard game in 2002.  I bet Wheelz also remembers that game.

Exactly.  No legit leagues actually play the final week of the season. 

I vote for next year that even the last place teams get to play in the consolation bracket.  I mean I don't think that we even have any sort of reward for whomever wins that do we? Regardless, despite having come in dead last (this may actually be the first time in 15 years of playing thats happened) I still want to keep playing until everyone is done, even if its absolutely meaningless...still fun for me (and you can still make side bets w/the team you're facing).

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs.  I made the playoffs in 1 of my 3 teams.  Facing off Hhampuz in our league as the #4 seed versus the #1.  I have absolutely no luck so I expect a one and done lol.

I was going to be posting this thinking that you were making a sarcastic reply.



However, you were telling the truth on Jalen Hurts. He is really out for week 16. I assume you are also lost in the casino this week, without knowing the link for the league and cannot remember your password also?

[DireWolfM14]

Some interesting rates for this afternoon's underdogs.  The Eagles +4.5 @ 1.83 sounds like a bargain.  A bit surprised to see the Cowboys favored by such a margin, but at the same time, I still don't trust the Eagles.



In other news, the FF playoffs seem to be going as expected.  Good luck to those of you in the hunt, and happy holidays to all.

[bbc.reporter]

It appears some of the games were played already. I thought it was going to be the usual schedule, I forgot about the adjustment because Christmas is on a Sunday hehe.

In any case, the results of week 16 appear not to be very good for my team hehe. Congratulations to the lost man in the casino, @Hueristic. You are 136 projected vs. my 127 projected. Nick Folk had 0 fantasy points and Stevenson only had 3.30 points. I still have a chance, however, it would need for one of your players to get 0 points which, I am certain, is very impossible.

Hueristic vs South Park , baring a miracle. Congrats to you both , best of luck!

@moon- feel your pain. Played Hhampuz in the semis in our other league and my team had a rough day as well. The weather certainly played a small but sizable factor in games this week. More so than I can remember affecting so many teams in one weekend.

Looking forward to next year already, last place is just embarrassing

Had a feeling the Dark Horse would make the final, I think I'll need some luck!

HEAL fast Hurts!

I think XFL will be starting soon.

YUP

The regular season is scheduled to start on February 18, 2023. A player combine was held on June 18, 2022, the 2023 XFL Draft was held from November 15 to 17, and training camps are set to begin on January 8, 2023.

Maybe we should do an XFL League?

Does the lingerie league still exist, i think I’d be much more interested in playing fantasy football for it than the XFL. In all seriousness is this the XFL version owned by the Rock? Time after time these leagues have failed. I don’t see how he or anyone could change this. I went to an arena league game few years back where a buddy from college was the starting QB, front row seats at Tropicana stadium, scored a TD and came over and handed us the ball, had free food vouchers etc etc ..essentially the best possible experience you could have. Would never go again. Is god awful boring. XFL I believe to be a bit different but can’t imagine garnering any interest in it either.
