Eh, if you are depending on one guy to win the Fantasy championship then you probably don't belong there. Sucks but in the end that's what your bench is for.

Despite Tre Mason's Flop, I am still heading to the finals. ATOT is 0-2 on advice for me. All good though, it's all for fun. Anyhow, my workhorse Demarco Murray injured his had.. man, that's bad for me. If Demarc is out, Manning has to up his game for me in the finals. He's gotta be due. Also wanted to note, one of my keys to this season has been streaming and playing the right D each week.

Manning is going to have some fun going to Cincy against that pass D, it's not too shabby so I wouldn't expect him to blow. I suspect the game will be won in the trenches though, i.e. if Denver Run D can stop Hill or not because Cincy's run blocking is playing at an extremely high level right now.

RE: Demarco, I have him as well but will just have to ride it out with Jeremy Hill and possibly Boom Herron vs Dallas. Probably not going to get Randle since I blew my waiver wire load last week, but I have a sneaky pick up my sleeve. Don't want to post it here though.

Alfonso Smith?

Looks like I'm going to the championship in the annual ATOT league!

 

[gorcorps]

Need a decent showing from Forte. I need him to hit 14 out of his 19 predicted, which seems a little high to begin with.

 

[edro]

I will probably be in championship next week and have Murray.
He has been great all year though, so he's basically the reason I am in the championship.
(I have Forte, he has Ingram and I have a 12 point lead)

Hopefully I can get Randle (doubtful since I am low on waiver list).
My other flex options are very meh.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I think i have set some sort of record for percent of players I have had that got hurt.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Please Brees please! I need big games out of Stills and Colston to win my league!

 

[dougp]

Welp, my season is probably down the drain with the way this game is looking right now.

 

[slayer202]

this game is brutal! hope you're not relying on the bears tonight, wow

Cutler, Forte, Jeffery and Stills

Yah, I'm done with any FF but Fanduel next year.

 

[BrokenVisage]

OMG.. I just TIED the game in my SB match with that last Colston catch! It's 110.1-110.1, regular season tie-break is bench points, which I own!!

That's nuts. How much did you win?

 

[slayer202]

wild ending, crushed some hopes and dreams with that last drive

GG man, I thought for sure Cutler was going to hit Wilson for a TD at the end there.

KT

 

[tfinch2]

Woo, won a couple hundred bucks and a spot in the championship with those two garbage TDs (Ingram and Jeffery). I bet my opponent is pissed!

 

[slayer202]

KT

I was surprised I still never had a lead even after that Wilson TD! Congrats to KT for winning our $25 fanduel!

 

[EvilYoda]

Graham actually got some yards tonight, even if he didn't get any TDs...gets me into the championship (2 weeks) but much like others here, DeMarco is my workhorse and if he doesn't play, I'm fucked.

I'm going to need a decent cushion going into Monday night next week. My opponent has J. Hill and AJ Green. I'll have just Manning. Hopefully Demarco plays because I'm last on Waivers and my backup rb are Shane Vereen and Knile Davis. Stupid me should've handcuffed J. Randle a long time ago.

 

[eits]

grats, kt!

Yeah me too. Martellus did just enough to fend you off.

grats, kt!

Thanks man.

Eh, if you are depending on one guy to win the Fantasy championship then you probably don't belong there. Sucks but in the end that's what your bench is for.

Games come down to one guy and your decision whether to play him all the time. If you're telling me that you know exactly what to do if Murray suits up, then you're a liar because nobody knows how well the leagues current #1 RB is going to play after a surgery and you don't know how much of a work load they'll give him.

For instance, I have Lance Dunbar and Kniles Davis to handcuff Jamaal Charles and Demarco Murray. How many people do you think would have played Davis last week if they had both Chief's RBs? There was almost a 15 point swing in my league and that can make or break plenty of games.

I agree with this totally...

I had three RB's with top 5 match up potential...only one got me anything decent.

I had Charles, Forte, and L. Bell

Charles got me 5 points and I think Forte got 9 with that stinker of a game last night.

Meanwhile the guy I was supposed to Crush beats me with average garbage players which had a good week . Always sucks getting hurt studs during the playoffs...

I was rolling in with J. Jones, E. Sanders and a swing player in J. Gordon.

I was able to handle one having a off game, but all three in one week was enough to sink my battleship. always next year :|

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I'm grabbing Kniles Davis for the championship game in one of my leagues (I made it in one of two). With Jamaal Charles having knee issues it is a worthwhile stash at this point since ven your best bench players are worthless if you are still playing. At worse, your opponent doesn't have the option.

If I get Davis and Charles doesn't play. These are my RBs:
Kniles Davis
Marshawn Lynch
DeMarco Murray

No Kniles Davis and I still get Ryan Matthews which isn't horrible.

 

[BrokenVisage]

That's nuts. How much did you win?

$216 according to the commish's email. Unsure why it's not a round number, in league settings SB champ only get's $180 but hey I'm not complaining. Just glad there were no stat corrections overnight, a lost yard from either Colston or Stills may have doomed me!
