Seeking6 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Good luck to everyone still in this league and others. I don't remember a time where there's so much uncertainty headed into final week or weeks of play. I'm still alive in all my leagues but with this KC news and injuries I'm not feeling real confident.

I think @KDBand I can use commish tools to do that. Are we saying keeper leagues moving forward next year? Not sure how we do that if playoff teams are being promoted to the premeir league for competitive purposes. Not saying I'm against it just wondering...plus obviously it would have to start next year as I'm sure many people have broken up their roster and dropped guys they would have liked to kept etc. As far as guys not playing I'm sure we could easily find replacements or drop to a 10 man league. I've liked the scoring bonuses and depending on how much they let you customize as the commish could be nice to have people throw out a few rule/point suggestions to vote. Have to say despite how the playoffs are all going down in flames it seems this has been a fun year with you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't as good in passing game and protection but I think he runs the ball with even more juice than Fournette so I don't see much slippage. Yeah I had him earlier in the year but dropped him, probably should have kept him lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hurt that all my guys got hurt and who I had left was very cuttable and didn't have many late season byes. So problem I have now is I have like 5-6 running backs that are all about the same....but not great. I have options but I wouldn't say I love any of them...but that is better than having no backup to turn to with covid and injuries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm king of the handcuff....and typically this time of year you end up with guys who have played their way into meaningful touches....Pollard and Michel are two. Always have to have Mattison and there are a few others out there this week as well. Problem is we live in a hour world right now. NFL wanted to cancel 3 games last week is coming out on twitter. You imagine the fantasy outrage if that happened? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose some guys, I'm hoping we can find new blood and keep it at 12 team leagues. With 10 team leagues, waivers become a little too easy imo. And, the premier league concept is still in the works, though not entirely finalized. I plan on publishing a detailed plan after the playoffs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 For those interested in how the playoffs look in the HSN league you are not a part of, here is how this week played out in Kev's league. Top 4 seeds will be in the semis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 And, here is how the first week of playoffs went down for KDB's league. Once again, it's the top 4 seeds in the semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 @rico....yahoo projections has it 141.69 to 141.21......not sure it can get much closer.....but never fear....I don't think I've hit my weekly projection in about 2 months lol. Good luck this week! My only hope is in turning to the dark side and rooting for the Dark Lord against your mighty Buffalo men! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what the majority wants, we can consider it. But, I'm one of those people who care more about how I do in the regular season than I am the playoffs. If I win the regular season, but lose in the playoffs, I still feel good about the season. I prefer the regular season to be as long as possible. A 2 week championship takes a week away from that.

Not if you have only 4 teams in the playoffs...but honestly I don't care that much...I don't have a single league this year that has it...just think with 2 weeks in the championship game you have a better chance for the best team to come out on top....but if that is all that matters then just take the season winner...so it's no big deal...I'm happy to play however we do it!

The biggest thing and maybe he can correct me if I'm wrong but by and large most of his team or at least his big name players have stayed healthy. But Allen, Diggs, JT, Higgins, and even Gordon was a pretty good team....all the teams that made or just missed the playoffs did a good job...not a lot separating us on this league. Seems the other division was a little more top heavy with 3 or 4 teams mostly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can just make a list of things and come around next year vote on stuff. I don't care if much changes. I would like to see defenses score higher and maybe bigger penalties for multiple turnovers from qbs or any player. I remember one game I think Tannenhill threw 4 ints and scored a couple tds late but still scored in the 20s....but again...no matter what I enjoy this and will love to do it again no matter what the rules.

dgambill Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Not that it should be a surprise but I'm facing JT in every single one of my leagues this week that I'm in the playoffs. My own fault for not drafting him but I didn't trust Reich not to do some crazy shared back field and I thought Hines would get all the passing game. I hate to do it...going to be hard to root against him...perhaps Carson can just have a big week this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to believe they were better than what they were showing hence why I never accepted or even entertained the trade offers. I really thought I dug myself a too big of hole once the "switch" turned on. As it turned out I did dig myself out of that hole. And have had a blast while doing it. Hopefully the football Gods smile upon me again this week. If not, it has been quite the ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
