This week is extremely important for me. I'm still missing Matt Forte, but I'm going up against Heifer, who is currently leader of his division and is in the wild card hunt if he's ever knocked off of that spot. Meanwhile JPP is facing Tally, who's been doing poorly. I think JPP is pretty much a lock for this week. I'm projected above Heifer, but I have low confidence in my team this week for whatever reason. I'm starting Blake Bortles at QB vs. Baltimore. Solid matchup and he's put up some good numbers, but I'm never comfortable starting the Jags QB.-

Believe in the 1.02% T-Bone, believe!
P-Edit: Rob, you and I could theoretically lose out and be relegated, haha. Also, I need this week to swing things to my favor.Ski mask? Check! Sawed off? Check! Guilty conscience, fear of death? Check! Check! Check!

I'll take him!
On a serious note, Decker showed up in the second half. He kept my week alive, I think, because a 0.70 pt week from him is not something I think I could recover from in a week where I expect some of my big players to come in under projection. At least I won't lose this week because I started him over Diggs.-

Rob - as long as you're not mathematically eliminated, there's always a chance, and as Agar says, both of you could lose out and be relegated. 0.04% is so small that for all practical purposes you can say you won't go down, but it's possible. If anything, it's probably slightly too low, as all the spreadsheet knows is the results so far (which I'm thinking about adding to but then it does get more complicated), and so the highest scoring teams fare better than they would by Yahoo's projections.If ya smell what The Locke is cookin'!

You do realize that these are not the same thing right?

Other than maybe a few, defense is p much a crapshot. Most teams seem like they are capable of putting up big numbers here and there so you are looking for defenses that are going to get sacks/turnovers.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

According to Yahoo Bortles has the 4th highest remaining games projections among ALL qbs. That is more than Carson Palmer, more than Big Ben, more than Andrew Luck. The Guy I took in round 2 is NOT my starting QB. All the risk's I have taken have paid off and the least risky thing of taking Luck has not paid off.

Until just now I had absolutely no clue how your team was doing so damn well - now I know it's because of Devonta Freeman.Show"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." -Helder Camara

I traded for him after week 3 when I was 1-2. I'm now 6-3. I took a risk that he was gonna be the guy in Atlanta based on what I knew about kyle Shanahan and coleman and freeman being given the #1 depth position. Zach had AP and LMiller. He didn't need a running back. Lewis was playing well for me Murray, Yeldon, Jennings were not at the time. I can't start both Luck and Palmer at the same time and can't wait for murray, yeldon, or jennings to be consistant. So I made a trade that I believed would be benefitial and it was. I traded what I had a good supply of QB's to Zach who had no QB (Big Ben was injured and Bridgewater is not an every game QB).When I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga

Pulled with -2.6 points, actually. The real question is what they do now. Do they keep Manning in, who's given them quite a nice record, or do they go with Osweiler? Their defense is dominant enough that Osweiler probably gives them the better chance in playoffs. He's unlikely to do amazing, but all he really has to do is avoid mistakes, manage the game, and let the defense help the Broncos pull away.-
