Finished 8-5, tied for first place but they beat me twice so I miss out on a bye.

[Chris B]

I lost (scoring the 3rd highest of the week) and will finish 8-5 unless Al Morris scores 35. Ha!

 

But I still have a chance at a first round bye if another team loses if Jason Witten, Dez Bryant and Jae Crowder can score 18 or higher.

I have #1 waiver priority in one league.

 

QB- Rodgers

WR- Julio

WR- Megatron

RB- Ivory

RB - D. Williams

TE- D. Walker

Flex - M.Evans

 

I basically have to start all these guys. 14 team league so pickens are slim on waivers. Rashad Jennings is really it.

 

Thinking of using my waiver claim to get KC Def. San Diego at home this week, here in Baltimore next week, home game against Cleveland if I get to the title game. Probably the best option out there. 

 

Would you do that? really no one out there that helps me at all, or helps anyone else at all that I could steal from them.

[NewMarketSean]

Start 3 of:

 

D. Thomas

Maclin

Baldwin

Crabtree

Diggs

LaFell

 

I'm going to roll with the top three in the playoffs unless I can be talked out of it.

yes, KC D/ST is 100% worth a waiver claim. Although I guess it depends on your current D/ST, but yeah KC is a good playoff D to roster.

 

If you can't get them, you should be able to get DET as a FA. They have STL this week and SF in week 16.

 

Edited to add that KC is ranked best D rest of season by an analyst whose recommendations I follow pretty closely.

Can't believe I'm asking this but Gurley or Sharknado West?

[BobPhelan]

2 of Lamar Miller, Chris Ivory, Mark Ingram (.5 PPR)

[BobPhelan]

I'd go with Gurley.

[Chris B]

Playoffs, I have some tough matchups this week.

 

I have Rivers vs. KC or Alex Smith vs. SD.

 

FA QBs available are:

Hoyer vs. NE

Hasselbec @ JAX

Manziel vs. SF
Ryan @ CAR

Mariota @ NYJ

Bradford vs. BUF

Bridgewater @ ARI

[NewMarketSean]

Smith

[PatrickDougherty]

Mark Ingram is dealing with a significant shoulder injury and might go on the IR.

 

Tim Hightower is your handcuff.

Ok so clearly I go with Ivory and Miller. I picked up Hightower, worth a play?

[Chris B]

I picked up Spiller because someone took Hightower but I don't think either are startable

Only if you have no other option. I'd imagine Hightower and Spiller split time with Hightower getting most of the rushing downs, but without any indication of workload, I wouldn't start either right away.

I have Spiller,  I'm glad I have a bye this week so I can see how that shakes out.  Some bum in my league picked up Hightower this morning and he's in the consolation bracket!  I'm the commissioner of the league,  I thought about revoking the player because I wanted him myself but I don't want it to appear like I'm abusing my commissioner powers.   I guess I'll just have to clarify that only teams still in on the money can drop/add players at this point.

So I need Aaron Rodgers to pretty much outscore Brandon LaFell. And Denver Defense not to score a TD or get eight sacks or something crazy. 

[SportsGuy]

An awful fantasy day for me.

Made the playoffs in both leagues...my one league I didn't even have 20 points a little while ago with only 3 guys left...I lost 3 players to injury today.

I have a bye in one of my leagues and 2 of the guys on that team got hurt today.

Pretty much worse case scenario so far.

[Dupin]

Good to see my team is keeping with its tradition of crapping the bed in the playoffs.

[Chris B]

Up thirteen currently, he has Lacy and ODB.

Brutal week for me, only two total touchdowns:

[PatrickDougherty]

Got the W on a lucky matchup. Who would have thought that Allen Robinson would get 1 catch for a TD on a day that the Jaguars scored 51 points?!

 

Best thing to come of this was Hightower and Gurley getting a bunch of touches. Makes me feel better about my team moving forward.

 

EDIT just saw that Gurley had a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Woof. Probable for Thursday. So glad the NFL has short weeks.
