Not particularly ideal for me, especially since my RB1 (Kamara) shit the bed. Third option on my bench I didn’t mention: Jonathan Williams vs TEN.

December 1, 20196 yr Fuck you philly defense. Fuck you. You had one job against the 3rd worst offense in the NFL. Just adds to my philly hate which I thought couldn’t be any greater.

It was pedestrian from a fantasy standpoint. It’s giving me pause. On 11/28/2019 at 1:30 PM, youdunnf'dup said: Brees. I think this is a get right/revenge game for them and they end up putting up a ton of points. My bad. I hope that wasn’t the difference in your fantasy matchup. Two of those 4 tds probably should’ve been Aaron Jones’ but 4 carries from the 2 yard line and in with nothing to show for.

December 1, 20196 yr I’m simply disgusted by my roster. Brees - 11 pts Kamara - 12 pts Mike Evans - 9 pts John Brown - 10 pts Jonathan Williams - 5 pts Eagles D/ST - -1 pt Pure garbage.
December 1, 20196 yr Let’s not sleep on DJ Moore this season. That is the fucking definition of consistency.
December 1, 20196 yr Author Yeah...it was dumb as fuck for me to consider the KC DST... Meanwhile, my opponent is having his highest scoring week since Wk 1. Fuck Fantasy Football. Oh and fuck you Aaron Jones and your crapass 6 points on the day. Edited December 1, 20196 yr by Iceman
December 1, 20196 yr The complete f-ing randomness of fantasy annoys me some years. I’ve got the high points total in the league by 50 or so points with the 3rd team 100+ back. I’m going to lose today by a few points based on the Eagles D shitting the bed and will be out of the playoffs on a H2H tiebreaker. I think I’ve lost 4 weeks where I’ve been the 2nd highest team of the week and played the high points team. It sucks, especially in a high dollar league.
December 1, 20196 yr Author I don't know if I'm out yet- we may have a 4-5 team tie for the final 2 spots, with 4 of us losing this week. Like you, I am high point for the season, but I have the 2nd most points scored against. I am down by 42 and have DCook and Pats DST left.

That sounds like the most boring fantasy league of all time. The week to week H2H is half of what makes it fun. I can see doing it in a baseball league, but not football.

December 2, 20196 yr hell its being top points in the league and not even making the playoffs multiple times that ended up with me stopping playing. no bullshit, my first fantasy year back in 1994 with college friends in the league, I was 0-8, yet I had the highest point total in the league by almost 100 points. I seem to remember that it was something like all but two weeks I was #2 in points and managed to play the #1 in points that week. It was infuriating.
December 2, 20196 yr Who is getting fucked by James White on this garbage drive? Or Brady or Edelman?
December 2, 20196 yr I guess ESPN counts ties as half-wins with regard to winning percentage? That’s the only way mine makes sense. I may sneak into the playoffs that way. This is a work league and I think the settings are straight up non-modified ESPN standard from whenever the league was originally setup (no fractional scoring or matchup tiebreaker). It really is a goddamn horrible setup but this is only my third year in this league and I’ve finished second twice, so I can’t complain too much. Barring a 29 point game from Dalvin tomorrow, it looks like I should be in. The playoffs are stupid too; 4 teams with 2 rounds of 2-week matchups, ending in week 17. I do at least have the second most points scored overall though.
December 2, 20196 yr 3 hours ago, Iceman said: Then you value the h2h matchup. It should be the 1st tiebreaker, or why play a fucking schedule? It’s not that I value the head to head matchup. I value the ability to talk shit to my friends, and watch the scoreboard every week heading down the stretch of Sunday and Monday night. To me, that’s what fantasy sports is all about. But it doesn’t really make a ton of sense for someone to have the same record as me but be 200 points behind me, but they make the playoffs because of the H2H matchup where I had my worst game of the season. If there was a way to actually play defense against your opponent, I would say that’s the obvious tie breaker. But points scored just seems most fair. I would never join a Roto style fantasy football league that just kept track of your points. That’s boring. Just my opinion, but that takes all the fun out of it.
December 2, 20196 yr On a different note, WTF do we do with Aaron Jones, guys? He never gets more than like 12 or 13 carries, and he hasn’t been catching passes ever since Adams came back. That was a HUGE part of what made him valuable. I almost feel obligated to start him every week, but I have zero confidence he’s going to do anything for me.
December 2, 20196 yr Author Mainly, I kick myself for not pulling the trigger on this trade about 3 weeks ago: Aaron Jones and Tyler Boyd for Joe Mixon and Edelman Trade partner was a bit on edge about it and drug his feet after we had agreed; so I got pissed and took it down. I should have given him all the time he wanted. LOL. Dude should be so productive in the Packers offense, and has been; but he's damned sure unreliable on a week to week basis. This weekend was the coup de grace with Jones getting 18 yds on 11 carries( WTF???) and 4rec for 13 yards. Some dude sitting on the couch could get THAT kind of production...

I've preached it before: wild card spot(s). It's the best thing our league has ever done. Top 4 spots based on H2H record (with total points being tiebreaker). Last two spots go to the two teams with most points scored who did not make the top 4.
December 3, 20196 yr This was the first year I paid for fantasypros premium. Fuck that. I’m going back to the ol’ firemans4horn guy next season after trusting their rankings the last two weeks and starting Derek Carr and Nick Foles (both benched at halftime).
December 3, 20196 yr Fantasy football is awesome. Tyler Lockett, top 10 WR, is gonna finish with 1 catch over his last two games. Why the fuck is he even playing?
December 3, 20196 yr I hate the fucking Seahawksso much. Every time I end up with their players, I get fucked in fantasy somehow. I literally need 1 more catch from either Lockett or Hollister and I’m not gonna get it. I want to punch Pete Carrol in his jerkoff face.

December 3, 20196 yr Author After all of my crying and handwringing, I made it in as the 6seed with a 6-7 record, but still high score for the league. I also have 1st dibs on waiver wire this week. I have DCook and Mattison is available. JWashington is also available. Definitely have some decisions to make. The DCook thing is killing me because they are at the sweetspot in their schedule and he has been autostart all year. I don’t want to pick Mattison only to watch them split the touches opposite of whom I start...
December 3, 20196 yr Apparently Tyler Lockett had the flu last week, and he felt good enough to play in this game but he was still battling it a little bit. Could’ve told fantasy owners that on Friday lol, I dunno. Is that too much to ask?

I was dead wrong on my advice for you last week, but I think he’d end up being someone you can count on.
December 3, 20196 yr Author Oh if he’s out, that would make the decision so much simpler… But that is not the fantasy football world in which we suffer. Minnesota ain’t showing their cards till they have to. Edited December 3, 20196 yr by Iceman
