Scumleague FF 2015 (Locke, Yiley, TD37!)

[Rob14]

This week has been a bit unexpected.

1) Not only did I not lose to Heifer, it turned into a blowout. I have injury concerns down the stretch, though. Matt Forte's dealing with a multi-week injury. Ryan Mathews got into the end zone as my emergency replacement RB2 this week, but he went down with a concussion and isn't a guarantee for next week. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Sanders nearly didn't start this week, and he clearly isn't 100% with 0 yards through the first three quarters against the Chiefs (not that there were any yards to go around). Now, Edelman's down with a foot injury. I don't know that I can keep winning with Forte, Sanders, and Edelman all out at once. Assuming they're all out as well as Mathews, I'd be playing Duke Johnson Jr at RB and a WR trio of Eric Decker, Stefon Diggs, and Jeremy Maclin. Not awful, by any means, but it's a significant downgrade.

2) It's a damn good thing I have Gronk and Edelman together. They hedge quite well. Edelman went down with a foot injury and Gronk started putting up big numbers soon after. The Patriots have a lot of weapons, but it's still a guarantee that I'll see an increase in targets for one player if the other is out.

3) If Nero wins this week, he'll be one game behind from making playoffs. That's pretty impressive given the 2-6 start. That's a big if. His game vs. IS is the nailbiter of the week.

4) Me and Agar are still tied in record for the wild card spot following this week, and I win the tiebreaker with a sizable lead in points for. My schedule down the stretch isn't that scary until the last week. I get Nero, KMD, and IS for the next three weeks, all <0.5 teams. My final week is Lamora, though, who has a strong team and who I lost to earlier this season. Agar's schedule is almost exactly the same: Zoraster, T-Bone, and Panzer followed by Flameaxe. Again, three <0.5 teams followed by a division leader. This could easily come down to the last week.

Watch Hopkins put up a 30 point week and ruin my upset bid.

Yeah, looks like my team this week decided that they didn't want to participate

COMIN' FOR DAT BOOTY DDD

Really weird week. Especially Ingram going off for a 70 yard rush and then dying or something - he did nothing the rest of the day.

[Wraith]

By the way is Jason actually paying attention anymore? He still has two IR players on his team...

[PokerFace]

Every member of my team under performed. Went from a projected 15 point win to a loss by 4

[Rob14]

Edelman's done for at least the regular season fantasy, and probably for fantasy playoffs as well. Ouch. Even if he could come back earlier, Patriots will likely rest him for real-life playoffs if he's on the verge of coming back in Week 15-16 and they've clinched already. That sucks.

As far as I know he's active, just not on top of things.

The real question is whether I give up Edelman's roster spot or not. Not sure on that.

[Locke Lamora]

In DeAndre we trust.

[D3f3nd3r]

Ugh. 23 up with only AJ Green left for my opponent. A loss here probably ends my season or comes very close to doing so. Which sucks because I've lost every time this has happened so far.

[Axxle]

All those points on my bench, damn!

It'll be straight up Bengals D vs. Eifert. Not looking great, and doubt I can afford to lose any week going forward if I have any hope of making the playoffs, especially with mith winning this week.

[Nero Cain]

His game vs. IS is the nailbiter of the week

IKR!

Like I was super excited when I had an early lead Sunday. At one point he was only projected to hit 81 points and at that point I thought that I was about to win.


then Langford had that silly 83 yard touchdown.

Even on Sunday night he was, at one point, projected to hit 99 and I was like "so I need 28 points from Dalton+Washington" which is not impossible.

Then the Seattle defense got a td. :/

so I need like 37 points tonight while not impossible its going to be hard to get. Washington is great but his big games came with Shorts out, with him back its gonna be tough.

To make matters worse Hurns

might

be done for the season.

I really hate the fact that I'm 6th in scoring but my record is horrible.

So lets all hope that tonight is a shootout.

Go Axxle! Keep the people in my division from winning so I can maybe hopefully get a wild card!

PICKEM YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD

FIRST PLACE IS MINE

[Nero Cain]

or I could just lose again, whatever the football Gods want to do.

[AGar]

KMD 85.56 - 85.42 BBM

Woah.

[Wraith]

KMD 85.56 - 85.42 BBM

Woah.

Close but no cigar. I still hold the title for worst robbery.

[AGar]

Context context context.

BBM 8-1
KMD 2-7

Also...

ALSO...


TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rob14]

Those were two serious upsets that keep us mathematically in the race for division leaders, however unlikely that is.

Edelman had a screw inserted into his foot, and I see no reason for them to rush him back by Week 16, so I'll probably drop him if anything decent pops up on waivers. Patriots will have clinched playoffs by then, if not the 1st round BYE. Not worth the roster space. bleh.

I still got very reasonable chance of making playoffs

Wraith, myself, rhinox, DDDP, Yiley, Peg and Zach are still in contention in league 2

Everyone else is pretty much out

[T-Bone]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Kmd4390]

Three of my five leagues came right down to that game and I won all three to go 4-1 this week. Nailbiter week all around except in the MS auction league where I got killed.
