No you and zimme. You should ask him advice on your lineup

I'm still playing. My championship is weeks 16 and 17. I'm down a good bit going in though, but still have an outside chance.

week 17 championships are terrible

you penalize the teams that drafted good players on good teams vs teams that own the garbage time.

I find that it is older leagues that have week 17, because that used to be more of the norm. My league has been around for over 10 years, and people are reluctant to make any changes. We put rule changes, etc up for discussion and vote at the end of each year. Changing playoff format has been a vote every year and has failed every year. People don't want to change.

Still have a league left where I'm in the championship this week... one of many reasons this is my last year with this league.

Plus Bell will probably be sitting, I'm fricked.

Nope. If I had started Ingram in the flex and Baldwin over Garcon, I'd be up by 68 points and wouldn't care about this final week

I'm with you... I'm struggling between picking up Zeke's handcuff (McFadden) or Bell's handcuff (Toussaint). Zeke is likely going to sit.

ESPN shows Toussaint with a higher projection due to playing against Cleveland. However, the Cowboys have had a lot of sustained success behind that line all year.

Toussaint


Deangelo Williams still hurt? Or they'd would rather use the third sting guy... i need to get the right one since Bell is out, and their projections are quite often wrong.

Every one of my players is playing in Week 17. I drafted a good team so this makes no sense to say.

The majority of my players are from the Patriots, Bills, Saints, Bucs, Chargers, Cardinals & Redskins. Yall just need to become better fantasy managers and nut up about Week 17.

most of my team is still going to be playing, with the exception of perhaps Roethlisberger who is projected to get 0 points, yet I'm still projected to win by 4. I'm hoping I don't have to pick up fricking Bradford off the scrap heap for the championship.

Roethlisberger and Elliot are not going to be playing for me. Going to start Taylor and I have waiver picks in for both McFadden and Toussaint.

Fortunately, my opponent has Leveon Bell and I'm up by 40.

No need to. I have a RB spot that will need to be filled.

Elliot is going to sit... therefore his spot comes open, my other starter is David Johnson. On the bench I had Giovanni Bernard and TJ Yeldon ... both of whom are now on IR, as well as James White from NE. So I can continue to play

Jordy Nelson and TY Hilton in the WR spots and use Jarvis Landry or Emmanuel Sanders in the flex. Thereby utilizing three strong recievers, as opposed to two and two fringe RBs.

Lineup, PPR

QB- Rivers
RB- D. Johnson
RB- ????
WR- Nelson
WR- Hilton
TE- D. Walker
Flex- Landry
D/ST- Chiefs
K- Bryant

Bench-

RB- Elliot
RB- J. Whit

RB- TJ Yeldon(IR)- will drop for either McFadden or Touissant

WR- Sanders
WR- R Matthews
D- Ravens
D- Bengals
TJ Yeldon
Dalton

i have Blount and a waiver claim in for McFadden because Hill and Rawls are both hurt/suck.

I have Julio & Jordy as my WRs and DJax as my Flex. Denver's defense & Tucker as K.

I'm gonna need to figure something out at QB though. Flacco & Bradford are both available. Someone else has Taylor.

He was on the field for only one snap this past weekend. I think he will be the guy, if he can go, but he is already owned in our league.

So I looked at Touissant as the next guy up IF Williams cant go. Ultimately Im thinking McFadden may be the way to go. Either him or Dion Lewis.
