RB Leonard Fournette
RB David Johnson
WR TY Hilton
WR Adam Thielen

I'm The Boy Wonder(ing), when it comes to fantasy sports.
December 3rd, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
Rule no., oh I dunno, 28, of manliness....no one gives a shit about your fantasy team!
But yea...I shat the bed this year. Drafted really poorly in the RB department and could never get back on track with waiver wire. Had Brees, Odell, Cooper Kupp, Austin Hooper and Evan Engram...and Rams defense. Calvin Ridley became my no. 2 when Kupp went down... Funchess, Godwin, some other meh guys for bench players.
Now my downfall. Drafted Dalvin Cook for $54 (we start with 200)...instead of Gurley for $2 more a few picks prior. Kenyan Drake, Royce Freeman, Jay Ajayi, and Carlos Hyde... have been playing Josh Adams for 2 weeks now. Yuh....uhck, right?! Some bad luck and just not great picks plus again, not jumping on a few waiver wire guys who became fantasy starters as I've done well at the past 4 years. 4 year playoff fun ended (1 champion, 2 runner ups, one 3rd). Somehow won 4 games (4-8) and was very close in a few more...6-6 went to playoffs but I also had the 2nd lowest points for (obvi) so wouslnt have mattered if I squeezed a couple games out.
Ps. First year doing PPR....I think it's lame.
December 3rd, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
Had a streaky season. Started 3-0, went on a 4 game losing streak, and now finished on a 6 game winning streak. Good for third out of twelve in the final standings at 9-4.
My current roster:
(Standard scoring/lineup)
QB: Luck, Goff
RB: Zeke, Conner, Mack, Lamar Miller, Spencer Ware
WR: Josh Gordon, DJ Moore, Tate, Sutton
TE: McDonald
D/ST: Bears
K: Santos
December 4th, 2018 at 12:11 AM ^
Talk about RB depth - that's impressive
December 4th, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
I managed to trade for Fournette to add to McKinnon, Cook, Gordon and Connor, all whom I drafted. I picked up Martin from the waiver wire. Amaizingly, there has been only one week where I could have used all of them, if the rules allowed. So many injuries.

He did a nice job cleaning up the place,
But his bosses didn't like him, so they shot him into space!
December 3rd, 2018 at 11:47 PM ^
But of course...
Mahomes, Kamara, White, Diggs, Landry, Kerryon, Rudolph, Greg the Leg, New England
December 3rd, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
I got number one seed but Hunt ruined everything. Still have a good squad so we’ll see...
December 4th, 2018 at 12:00 AM ^
Ended up T-1 with 2 others, but get the 2 seed based on tiebreaker (head to head record) - primary lineup as follows:
QB Deshaun Watson
RB Todd Gurley - my first pick at #2, our draft was 1.5 weeks before the season so Bell was taken #1
RB Chris Carson - initially had Jay Ajayi as my #2
WR Brandin Cooks
WR Larry Fitzgerald
TE Travis Kelce
Flex Doug Martin down the stretch - Funchess earlier in the year
D/ST Texans
K Fairbairn - started season with Matt Bryant, Jason Myers when Bryant went down, and eventually Fairbairn
Subs : Frank Gore, Kenny Stills, Willie Snead, Blount (recent pick-up), David Njoku, also had Dez Bryant for a while
12 team league so not as much depth as I would like. Definitely relatively weak at WR but more than make up for it at RB1 and TE, solid D/ST and K as well. Only regret was probably dropping DJ Moore around week 4
December 4th, 2018 at 12:01 AM ^
Me thanks to Adrian Peterson.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:04 AM ^
Finished first overall at 10-2-1 which naturally validates my worth as a human being.
QB: Rodgers
RB: Barkley
RB: Michel
WR: Adams
WR: Allen
TE: Kelce
Flex: Kerryon/Carson
D: Streaming
K: Fairbairn
December 4th, 2018 at 12:09 AM ^
No. But I am a legend in my own mind.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:32 AM ^
One week left but already qualified.
QB - Rivers/Cousins
RB - Brieda, McCaffery, Cohen
WR - AJ Green, Calvin Ridley, DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, Donte Moncrief, Mo Sanu, DJ Moore (Sanu and Jackson are the only ones that I've had all season)
TE - Olsen (had Vance MacDonald when he was injured)
K - Tucker
D/ST - Vikings
I originally had Bell but someone offered Green and Brieda for him a few weeks into the season and I took it. I've been trying to find a decently consistent wideout to no luck, but my RBs, especially Hunt, have carried me through the season. I'm considering dropping Cousins for Josh Allen, especially given recent performance.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:45 AM ^
I needed two wins to close the season and Drew Brees took me down last week. Looks like it’s competing for the Toilet Bowl for my team.
December 4th, 2018 at 12:45 AM ^
QB: Winston (drafted Trubisky with my third-to-last pick and then dropped him after a few weeks of shitty play)
RB1: Kamara
RB2: Breida
WR1: Tyreek
WR2: Mike Evans
TE: Trey Burton (TE is absolutely brutal this year)
FLEX: Golladay
D/ST: I stream every week
K: Tucker
Bench: Eli, Ekeler, Josh Adams, Alex Collins, Duke Johnson, Funchess, Tyler Boyd
December 4th, 2018 at 12:48 AM ^
I made the playoffs - now comes actually winning a playoff game. I'm 0-for-18-years in that regard.
So I'm the Detroit Lions/Cincinnati Bengals.
December 4th, 2018 at 2:07 AM ^
P Rivers/J Winston
M Gordon/L Fournette/A Jones/A Ekeler/TJ Yeldon
T Hill/B Cooks/J Gordon/D Thomas
E Ebron/T Burton
Zuerlein
Vikings/Streaming D
December 4th, 2018 at 2:22 AM ^
In 5 of 8 yes. Top seed and scorer in my top money leagues.
December 4th, 2018 at 3:01 AM ^
As is tradition, I am number one in my work's fantasy league in scoring. That almost never means that I'm number one in the league, as last year I didn't even make the playoffs with the top scoring team . Since there is a God in 2018, that means that this year I am number one in my league standings.
December 4th, 2018 at 8:10 AM ^
My team is number one in points for and against. Still managed to eke out the top seed, albeit with 4 losses. Have 200 more points than the next closest team.
December 4th, 2018 at 3:35 AM ^
10 team league. I made zero trades. All drafted or FA pickups. Two losses by a combined 7 points. Starting lineup
Mahomes, Barkley, McCaffery, Lindsey, Thielen, Hilton, Kittle, Rams/Ravens D
December 4th, 2018 at 4:17 AM ^
Not me. I'm going on a Revenge Tour next year.
December 4th, 2018 at 5:38 AM ^
I'm 10-3, by virtue of throwing my last game to play a more desirable opponent in the playoffs.
11-2 is still a better record than 10-3.
Team Name: Zach Smith Beat Your Gurley
Matt Ryan/Russell Wilson
Todd Gurley
Aaron Jones/Lamar Miller
Antonio Brown
OBJ
Stefon Diggs
Cameron Brate/David Njoku
Bears D/ST
Greg Zuerlin (aka Legatron)
Was a weird league year as far as parity is concerned - everyone is either really good, really bad, or 6-7
December 4th, 2018 at 5:41 AM ^
Anyone who gives you crap for drafting a Holland native can stuff it.
December 4th, 2018 at 5:50 AM ^
12-1 in a 12 team league
QB—Newton
RB—McCaffrey
RB—Conner
WR—Hopkins
WR—Hill
TE—Kittle
Flex—Edelman or Golladay or Mixon
K—Butker
DST—Rams
Bench—Ridley, Chris Thompson, Tyler Boyd, Kerryon Johnson

Fantasy baseball > fantasy football
December 4th, 2018 at 6:50 AM ^
I clinched #1 seed on the last weekend
QB-Mahomes
WR1-Antonio Brown
WR2-Davante Adams
RB-Zeke
RB2-Fournette
TE-Gronkowski(traded DeShawn Watson mid season for him)
Flex-Chubb
K-Butker
Def-Seattle(Usually pick a new d every weekend)
Bench-Sony Michel, Marlon Mack, Evan Engram, Amari Cooper, Austin Ekeler, Carson Wentz
December 4th, 2018 at 8:02 AM ^
11-2, two more weeks until playoffs, but I’ve already clinched. Only 4 teams get in the playoffs in my league. My lone two losses are against the same person, who beat me twice with crazy comeback wins. And naturally if the playoffs started today, he would be my match-up.
QB1: Watson
WR: Evans
WR: Diggs
RB: Barkley
RB: Hunt errr Mack/Coleman/Ware
TE: Kelce
Hybrid (QB/WR/TE/RB): Winston
D: Wagner
DEF: Rams/NE
Kicker: Gould
Bench: Ryan, the combo of RB’s mentioned above, Brown from Baltimore
I make the playoffs every damn year but always go out quietly. Hoping I can finally pull it off.
December 4th, 2018 at 8:48 AM ^
Had a rough start but I ended up with the highest point total the last few weeks. Drafting Mahomes was easily the best draft decision I've made. And that was coupled with Bell being my first pick, but that hasn't really hurt too bad since I have James Conner, Nick Chubb, AP, and Phillip Lindsay.
December 4th, 2018 at 8:52 AM ^
Ran into the Mahomes/Kelce buzzsaw in week 13 in both of my leagues to miss the playoffs in one league and lose in the first round (20 teams/2 "conferences") in the other. Would have had a bye, but lost by .02 pts one week. Just needed one more passing yard that week!
December 4th, 2018 at 8:53 AM ^
Finished 11-3 (we have a double game in week 13), thanks to Watson at QB, Adams at WR, and Kamara/McCaffery at RBs, and a fair amount of luck. Our leauge's runaway points lead finished 5-9.
December 4th, 2018 at 9:00 AM ^
2nd place in the league with a 100 lead in points for over the guy in first place. Always frustrating because it means you caught everyone on their best week. Still, I'll take the first round bye.
December 4th, 2018 at 9:07 AM ^
In a 3-way tie for 7th on the last week, with Brees as my QB.
The two other teams win and I lose...to my seven-year-old son's team (which is now in third place) and miss the playoffs.
December 4th, 2018 at 9:17 AM ^
My fantasy team did make the playoffs somehow. I started off 0-5. I went 7-1 in my last 8 games. This last week was a "win and you're in" scenario for me vs. my brother-in-law. He had Kareem Hunt on his team...
December 4th, 2018 at 9:19 AM ^
User dlanny22 invited me to his 2 leagues this year. We both made the playoffs in each. Granted He earned the top seed each as opposed to my 4/6 seeds.
My best lineup would have to be:
QB- Deshawn Watson
RB- Saquan and Fournette
WR- Golden Tate and Allen Robinson
TE- Eric Ebron (drafted in the 10th)
K- Justin Tucker
D/ST- streamed all season
Backups included Aaron Jones and Crowell at RB, Alshon Jeffery and and Funchess at WR, and Baker Mayfield stepped up for Watson's bye week.
December 4th, 2018 at 9:22 AM ^
Finished first in the regular season in my first fantasy football effort (beginner’s luck!):
QB: Matt Ryan
RBs: Ezekiel Elliot, Saquon Barkley
WRs: Julio Jones, Mike Evans
TE: Travis Kelce
Flex: Nick Chubb
D/ST: Chicago Bears
K: Ka’imi Fairbairn
Bench: Mitchell Trubisky, Mark Ingram, Sony Michel, Sammy Watkins, Josh Gordon, Corey Davis, Denver Broncos
On to the playoffs!
December 4th, 2018 at 9:24 AM ^
4 Leagues, 4 playoff spots!!! Led 2 leagues in scoring. Have/HAD Hunt on 2 teams tho.
December 4th, 2018 at 9:25 AM ^
You know whenever there's a thread that says "Roll call who's going to the game?" it means "I'm going to the game!" And whenever there's a thread that says "Roll call who made the playoffs in their fantasy football league?" it really just means "I made the playoffs in my fantasy football league!"
December 4th, 2018 at 9:53 AM ^
That must have took a great deal of detective work to decipher. Was it the part where i described how i made the playoffs that tipped off the fact that i made the playoffs?
December 4th, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
No, it was the part where you asked, "Who made the playoffs?" I didn't even need to read the post to know that you were going to say, "me, this guy, I made the playoffs."
Like I said: Any time someone asks "who's going to the game?" that person is guaranteed to be going to the game and is "asking" as a way of bragging about it.
December 4th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
Yeah it is always just about bragging. Not just reaching out to the fellow board members to see who also had success in a football related activity. How weird that someone would start a football related topic on a mostly football related blog.
At least we got guys like you around to call bullshit on things like this. What would we do without you?
December 4th, 2018 at 1:23 PM ^
I wonder if you would've started a thread if you hadn't made it.....or if you've ever seen a thread asking who's going to the game started by someone who isn't going.
You might insist you would've, but then, the next "roll call who's going" thread ever started by someone who's not going will be the first.
December 4th, 2018 at 9:27 AM ^
Number 1 seed over here. Only lost 2 games during regular season play so I'm guaranteed to lose to the 8 seed. I have a real solid team though.
QB - Big Ben
RB - Alvin Kamara
RB - Aaron Jones
WR - Davante Adams
WR - Mike Evans
TE - George Kittle
FLEX -Kenny Golladay/Marlon Mack
DST - Stream
K - Justin Tucker
December 4th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
3 out of 3 teams made it. Let's GO!
December 4th, 2018 at 10:48 AM ^
12 team league finished 4th in points scored and 11th in points against good for 7th place and record of 6-7. Lost one week with 145 pts
QB - Goff/Rodgers
RB - Barkley/Mixon/Michel/Ekeler
WR - Allen/Woods/Fitz/Baldwin/Robinson II
TE - Reed
Def - Rams>Saints
K - Gostkowski>Elliot
