When he was down 64 earlier this season, he got 59 in one game from Mahomes, Hunt and Brandon McManus.

In other words, I know the feeling.

Also, I hope you hold on.

I've been here before. In a previous season, I had a 30+ point lead over Stick and he had Antonio Brown, who naturally went off and gave Stick the win. So yeah, I'm not feeling confident.

Something is wrong with fantasy football scoring when the Rams give up 51 points, but their fantasy defense is worth 21 points.

I picked up Indy this week. 4 sacks, 2 INT, 10 pts allowed — 12 pts

This is why I went down to one and only one league this year.

The game (possibly because it went over 100) breaking the Yahoo fantasy app is sadly fascinating to me.

Ha. My two scores flipped on the same play. I'd much rather you had won last night since I'm fighting for a playoff berth in that league.

*sees Amari Cooper’s fantasy score this week*

*pounds head on desk repeatedly*

So if I haven't spent my FAAB this year, do I blow it all on the SD running back Justin Jackson/Johnson? I think rosters freeze heading into the playoffs so this might be it.

In the Swamp league, Rass is alone in first, with the 6th most points scored. TurdRyan is in 11th, with the 2nd most points scored.

I needed three points in the last half of the quarter between Davis and Coutee, but couldn't cut it.

Not to get too defensive, but it's a pretty paltry difference between 2nd and 6th. turd has just had some awful luck this season, since he has fewer points scored against than I do, too.

And eat it giff.

You can’t touch my consistency at QB though:

My RB 2 is worse. Too lazy to post.

Is Giff OK?

Sabo wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 9:26 pmIs Giff OK?

With his roster? Yeah, Giff is just fine.

What a fucked up season for me in this league. Last place, yet I've had the highest score out of 12 teams twice. Lost with the second highest score, and last week, if the Titans defense didn't put up a negative score, I would have lost with the second highest score again, and been 3-9. According to the salt-in-wound email from CBS, if I played Sabo's schedule, I'd be 8-4. Sabo is 7-5, if he played my schedule, he'd be 5-7. We are in the same division, play the same games, just different order.

Going through my RBs for the season:

Ajayi and Chris Thompson
Ajayi and Thompson
Thompson (1 point) and Corey Clement
Adam Jones and Ajayi
Ajayi (-1 point!) and Thompson
Jones and Clement
Raheem Mostert and Clement (1 point)
Mostert (1 point) and Jones
Jones and Devontae Booker
Jones and Clement (1 point)
Jones and Kapri Bibbs (0 points) [Clements, Booker and Jamaal Williams on bench, all active, combined for 1 point!!!]
Jones and Gus Motherfucking Edwards

In my defense, I kept Jerick McKinnon prior to his injury, and the top RBs were all kept.

Snagged Spencer Ware in two of my three leagues.

Working from home has its advantages.

If Sybian loses this week, it'll be his worst record in four years, but with far and away his highest point total (I think he has more points this season than in any of his previous three).

I looked to pick up Ware a couple weeks ago when he was rostered, thinking the Chiefs might sit Hunt for a game or two during fantasy playoffs and was asleep at the wheel when got released. At least the Stick kept him away from Giff... but he'll probably beat me while Giff wins and I'll end up losing to Sabo in the first round.

At least I got Ware in my other league.

This is why you always hold the handcuff.

Malcolm Brown is on his sixth week on my roster in spite of just seven touches in that time.

I'm just hoping I finally get a good lottery pick and get the #1. Upon further review, I didn't keep McKinnon, I drafted him in the 1st round, I kept him in my other league. I have a history of 1st round picks going down in Week 1 or preseason. I hate this league. If I was in the other division, I'd be in 1st place. My other league is in it's 20th season, started first year of law school, and we have half of the original owners still playing. I clinched my sixth straight divisional title, but I've never won the damn league.

I also have Conner + Samuels.

My other league is in its 16th season and I've been the commissioner for every single one. I've only made the championship once despite making the playoffs every year for at least the past decade. I snuck in with a 6-7 record this year which will actually be good enough for the 6th seed (we have 14 teams, 8 make playoffs) and feel like my team is the best one outside of the guy who has Mahomes and Kamara (those guys who have both of those players are such jerks!).

Almost had the most points in the league and I'm tied with the guy who didn't make any moves all season.

Mebbe it was karmic payback for not running a Swampcrash for us this year?

Ryan can make it up to us by running a MLB Swampcrash. 162 games.

Finished first in my two money leagues.

Setting up for the rare "Double Schottenheimer."

Nice of James Conner to take a seat on the bench during the first week of fantasy playoffs!

(And a fuck you to Rass for having a higher waiver priority than me for Jaylen Samuels.)

Yeah! Not even 100% sure I’m going to play him.

I love Amari Cooper.

Samuels at TE looks better when you don’t use that running back spot on J. Jackson of San Diego.

Guy in my league (which I missed the playoffs in) started Goff who got him -1 last night. On his bench this week: Henry @ 57.5, D. Prescott @ 41.0, and A Cooper @ 49.0

That's the worst miss I've seen in 10+ years of playing fantasy sports.

Well after you took Samuels, I picked up Justin Jackson as my consolation prize. And he did pretty well against you tonight!

Semi-Finals week - who do I start, DeShaun Watson or Matt Ryan.

Leaning towards Watson whose game kicks off at 4:30 today.

Thoughts?

Atlanta has been reeling lately. I'd trust Watson.

Yeah, think you're right.

Go Texans!

Decent numbers from Watson - good for 22.4 points.

My main man Kai'Mi Fairbairn got me 22 points!

Had my worst game of the season this week. Fortunately, I was playing Sabo, so I won.

We combined to score fewer points than Sabo's team was projected to score.

Pretty sure Cam Newton's shoulder is being held together by kinesiology tape and wishful thinking.

At least I put you over.
