I'm wondering if I can beat my opponent if I start Rivers this week  



Apparently I've already clinched a playoff spot, so why not.

Go for it, but be aware it has zero effect on the playoffs whether you win or lose.

Your in, Yahoo's out, literally yahoo or psilons would need over 100 MORE points than the winner of BBC and Mo's Game to get in, so mathematically out.

I'm still up in the air whether to give Chi a softball lineup to get in.

Mmm... I think everybody would prefer you didn't show favoritism (sorry Chi, nothing personal). Make him work for it! My case is a bit different as you aptly pointed out.

I dunno, ultimately its up to you. Does it affect who I'm playing or who your playing? Then it might matter and be an actual strategy.

Yes Whoever gets the last spot I am facing so it absolutely effects my chance of winning.

Just for fun, I fed Grok the player rosters & stats for Vitalik Strong Body and ChiBitCTY and it says "Vitalik is the scarier semifinal opponent by a decent margin."



So yeah, do what you gotta do, I don't think anybody would hold it against you (except bbc.reporter). But you can't have Philip Rivers because I'm already starting him.

I am going to have the game of the year and show all of you who's the boss. Counting me out will be your doom lol. This was my best year and was fun learning more and talking in dc. Hopefully next year is a little better and I make the playoffs, but regardless, good luck to those of you who make it this year.

[Hueristic]

OK, Everyone root for Warren to play and put up 23+ points!

[nutildah]

^^
Hehe. Amazing. Even when you lose, you win. Sorry Chi & I will root for you anyway. Its the only matchup that's even close.

If I woulda started Hurts over Rivers I'd have 179 points this week, lol. But this is no time to get cocky.

Crazy how Wilson's team can lose by 20 pts but he'll still get 17 fantasy points, like almost every week.

Yeah, Right!

[bbc.reporter]

Before this game has started, I have told myself already that I will the outcome decide if I will join our fantasy league next year or not hehehehe. If I enter the playoff, I will join. If I do not enter, I will not join heheheeh. However, it appears that presently, destiny wants me to join hehe.

In any case, I agree with @Hueristic and @nutildah. The superstitious me is saying that we should cheer for Jaylen Warren to make 1000 points!

And it looks like both my WR1 and WR2 will be out next week so your sitting pretty.

[bbc.reporter]

@Hueristic. I saw you have replaced Christian McCaffrey with a tightend for W/R/T slot against @ChiBitCTy and this appears to have given you the victory for the week which has also given me the chance to enter the playoff heheheeheh. The tightend scored much more points than expected!

This has given me the belief that my entry for this year's playoff is my destiny heheheheh. Good luck to everyone, it was another good season.

[nutildah]

I see you guys (Hueristic & bbc) don't have anybody playing today -- you get a full rest day until tomorrow. For me things are looking pretty good, I just needed the Eagles to not blow chunks, and they didn't so far, so I'm pretty happy about that.

And yes I'll echo the sentiment: good luck to all.

[bbc.reporter]

I am very much shocked when I saw these ratings on Polymarket. Who has Matthew Stafford in his team? I am certain that Puka Nacua has given good fantasy points every week. However, this does not happen without a good quarterback. Has Stafford been giving much points also?

In any case, it appears it will be the Bitbowlers vs. Vitalik Strongbody. This DK Metcalf has chosen the wrong time to get a suspension.

[Hueristic]

Congrats @bbc.reporter, you earned you win!

[nutildah]

Oh my. Here's the video:

Is it true he tried to slap the fan b/c the fan was calling him by his full name (real name)? Lol.

But even worse than that, you're gonna be out 1 of your 2 star wide receivers. Kittle had a great game for you but suffered an ankle injury in the 3rd quarter. Didn't seem like it was too bad. Good thing you still have another great TE option at your disposal.

Congrats to Vitalik Strong Body (I hate typing that) for managing to surge when it mattered.

[bbc.reporter]

@Hueristic. Thank you! I very much appreciate a congratulations from you and this gives me more confidence and excitement for our league next season!

I am looking at the playoff standings and my head is shaking. There are unexpected teams that are leading their divisions.

@nutildah. I would also be angry if I was named Dekaylin Zecharius heheheheheh.

Also on injuries, I have other important players on questionable status. This will be difficult for my team.

Thank you for the congratulations! I wish it was week 1 again!

Don't we all!
