Finals baby.
Kamara got his touchdown.
Cam didn't do shit.
My coworker spent the day gloating, literally said in a meeting that he beat me, because he was up by 10 and had Cam and said Kamara wouldn't do much with Ingram there.
Tomorrow is gonna be fun.

Congrats to everyone collecting a big payday this week.
The fantasy promise land awaits for you all on Christmas Eve night.
Hopefully Santa has a fantasy Super Bowl trophy for your stocking instead of that runner-up lump of coal.

In the finals! Won by 1 pt..unbelievable. Yesterday I learned stats don't count on 2-pt conversions or else that pick Brees threw would've been -2 and a loss.
I finished the regular season in first and im playing the second place team. Could've called this from week 6 lol

Alright folks,
I'm in the finals for my work league up against a guy who never shuts up about crossfit and how great he is at sports so I really want to win this one and need advice!
QB
Trubisky or Watson? Or try someone else on the wire?
TE
TE has been shit for me all year, but was able to pick up Samuels. If Conner is back is Samuels still viable for points?
WR
TY Hilton, Dante Pettis, Curtis Samuel, and I might be able to pick up Robby Anderson as well off the wire. What two do I go with?
Thanks!

Watson is the better play, if Conner is back don't think you can trust Samuels, but the TE land is so ass right now you might not have another option.
If Goff's pass to Reynolds would have stood as a TD, or if his next play (pass to Gurley) would have scored instead of the following Gurley rush, i'd be in the finals defending my 2-time championship. Alternatively, I could have just started Wilson. Ugh.
Going to be a tough 3rd place match to get my money back (against the #1 seed who gets MG3 and possibly Ware back)

In the Championship after starting 0-4. Finished the season winning 10 of the last 11 (incl. playoffs). Let's keep this train rolling one more week and get some $$$! (Winner takes all).
Hoping to score Jamaal Williams on waivers and will slot him right in as an RB. All my other RBs have questions at the moment:
- Conner may return, but Samuels may have earned himself some meaningful snaps
- Ware may return, but Williams will probably eat into his carries
- Coleman should feast with Ito Smith out, but it sounds like ATL wants to try out another RB (Brian Hill?) and Coleman will probably walk in free agency anyways so why not
- Breida may be out again, but Wilson would be up against the CHI defense which doesn't inspire much hope
- Sadly can't trust AP on a busted offense anymore...
Solid at other positions, though. Davante Adams and Julian Edelman are a great 1-2 punch for WRs, and Kelce speaks for himself. Gonna stick with Russel Wilson and as long as Foles is under center I think I might pop Alshon back in as a flex. As for D/ST: the Titans D against Washington seems like a solid play.
Good luck, people!

I am going to have Jamal Williams, McCaffrey, Lindsay, and David Johnson at RB. I know I start McAff but who do you guys run with for the other in a PPR league? Lindsay has definitely missed Sanders in that offense and DJ has been very lukewarm this year. Williams seems like a good play but I am weary of starting GB backs.
Also, if Odell is playing, do I start him?

so I lost but I'm in the championship game? I think I played a team who didn't pay so their team got frozen but they somehow ended up in the playoffs anyway?
I have no idea. I'm glad I checked my league just for shits and giggles I wasn't even going to look at my lineup after losing
I am so confused right now

ESPN is acting strange today. Some players points are missing from their previous matchup, we had a change on the championship teams in one of my leagues too.
yeah it's weird, it shows on my main team page that I won the last match up 85-82 but when I click to see the match up I lost 89-94
I set my line up but hopefully espn figures this out, it'd suck if someone lost out on a chance to win our league because of that

If Odell is out there, you play him barring a totally stacked roster.
That said, I don't expect him to play this week and suspect he'll be ruled out for Week 16 sometime later today or tomorrow at the absolute latest. (It's a road trip to Indy so it'll be self-evident once he doesn't travel with the rest of the team.)
Fair. I appreciate the post but what about my RBs lol. And is Alshon worth starting over Diggs?
OP
OP
Start Alshon over Diggs. Jeffery has a genuine connection with Foles and Darius Slay should be all over Diggs on Sunday. As for your RBs, you can't bench Lindsay against the hapless Raiders even with his recent downturn. He ate up Oakland for over 100 yards earlier this season. Be happy you stashed Jamaal Williams and kept him from your opponent.
We think alike. Last question, would you flex David Johnson over Jeffrey? I am leaning to 'no' because DJ has been lackluster this year and it's the Rams.
Here are my backs and I can start four. PPR and .2 points per carry. Who would you start:
Gurley
Mccafrey
Cohen
Mack
Michel
Jamaal Williams
Elijah McGuire
I've been running the first three for most of the year with Mack and Michel mixing in.
Right now have the first three with Mack, but worried bears will shut down the niners turning it into a Howard game. Generally, ride with who you got there with but would it be cute to bench Cohen and go Mack and Michel. Have a feeling Michel will get fed the rock a lot against the Bills.

Any thoughts for my title game? Buffalo apparently has given up the fewest points to QBs this season. Goff has been really poor lately, but I feel like given the circumstances he is still the right play.
I hate to leave out Cooks but Williams probably demands to be played. Obviously if Deandre can't go, I'd swap him. This is a PPR league.

Thanks for the heads up! I reuploaded.. hopefully it will now.

Yeah, I would stick with Jeffery. Trust your instincts here.
Here's my championship matchup. I'm on the left. I could consider Elijah McGuire off waivers but will probably stick with White and Cohen.
I feel like your opponent is doing you a solid by starting Mitch over Rivers at home. I know Baltimore is better than San Fran but Rivers is getting Allen and maybe Gordon? back.
Also be like me and start Jeffrey.
But Foles and Jeffrey got that connection and Houston is shockingly bad at the deep pass.
Full PPR I don't think you can bench Chohen. I would play Gurley/CMC/Cohen/Mack and add Michel later is Gurley is out.
I would play Goff over Brady. I know he's been ass, but this should be a get right game for him and Brady hasn't been reliable either.

Cook. If Beckham is out there is a case to be made for Engram, but I would still play Cook over him.
Have Gurley in my championship as well... Was lucky enough to pick up Williams on waivers. BUT also have Lamar Miller who is questionable... Are you gonna pick up Anderson? I was considering it. I would have to drop Michel, but I don't trust any Patriots RB in the championship game, and he's not a keeper... What to do...
I also have Lamar Miller. :(
Yeah, I picked up Anderson. With two running backs probably out and Miller possibly out, I could use as much running backs as I could get.
OP
OP
I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of "dropping" Michel for Anderson (if only to keep him from your opponent)... but you're going to need to have contingency plans in play for the late games. There's no guarantee that Gurley is out or that Anderson even plays. Frankly, I still think Todd plays... they've been pretty clear all week that he wouldn't be practicing and it's not worth risking putting Anderson or Kelly in your lineup if he does.
So I somehow stumbled into a wealth of RB for this championship. Starting Gordon tonight and then need two of
Mark Ingram v Pit
Jaylen Samuels v NO
Jamaal Williams v NYJ
CJ Anderson v Ari
Leaning Samuels and Williams but what if Gurley sits?
Also would I be insane to start Robert Foster over Keenan Allen...

Rivers has the best floor, Lamar has the best ceiling.. I wouldn't go with Dak.
I have to choose between Rivers or Cousins.
I wouldn't start Anderson over Williams/Samuels even if Gurley sits. We can't be sure of the volume and I'm not willing to find out in the championship game.
The WR I legit don't know, I might have to play Foster if Julio is out, but I'm not feeling great about it.
This is the lineup I am going with in a PPR league championship:
Brees
McCaffrey
Lindsay
Tyreek
Alshon
Cook
David Johnson
Browns D
Dallas K
Sitting Diggs and Jamal Williams and Houston D. My gut says starting Jeffrey over Diggs is the right move. I am not ready to ride DJ all year and sit him for Jamal Williams but the potential is there. That's the only move I'm contemplating.
