I hear this from a team every year they are always top 2 scorer blah blah blah, but when I actually see it theyre usually like 4th or 5th in points and relatively close to 2nd place in points scored, but not 2nd. Its rare that a team actually 2-3 in points is fighting for playoffs, stop exaggerating.

One of my two leagues the second to last place team at 2-6 has scored more than 100 points more than any other team. It does happen. And if you think about it logically, it makes no sense. All that tells me is that he was extremely unlucky this year. But you no what, with everyone nowadays putting larger and larger sums of money on the line, shouldn't we be trying to eliminate as much of the "luck" factor as possible out of the equation to reward actual skilled players. This guy is gonna miss the playoffs despite being the best this year at what the point of fantasy is... putting together a high scoring team week to week.

I am the highest scoring team in one of my leagues by over 100 points (will shrink to about 80 after this week) and I will be 4/10. I had two weeks my team crapped the bed, then two weeks were I was the second highest scorer playing the highest scorer. Absolutely possible to be the highest scorer and be fighting for the playoffs.
