What are the chances I win the whole thing?

I'm thinking 3%

Most likely scenario I go undefeated through the regular season and lead the league in scoring by 500 points, lose first round of the playoffs because some dudes TE catches 4 TD passes

In my experience of playing Fantasy it’s always the guys who start off hot that crash quickest, and the random teams with eh records winning the whole thing

Probably less

One year I went either 12-1/11-2 and completely destroyed everyone in the regular season.......then proceeded to lose first playoff game

Exactly.
I think I should make a couple of really dumb trades to make my team worse, give myself a better chance you know.

You think the Jeremy Maclin owner will trade him to me straight up for Kareem Hunt?

I love when you get a first round bye, then your team shits the bed in round 2 only to have them explode for what would have been the Superbowl. That's happen to me a couple times.

50-50. Can't tell you how many times I've had loaded rosters and all of a sudden everyone gets hurt weeks before the playoffs or everyone lays an egg the first week of the playoffs. Fantasy football is truly a pure luck game

It's like Poker, there's a little skill involved but at the end of the day it all comes down to luck

2-3 as the leading point scorer in one of my league.

I'm right where I wanna be I guess

Top players you draft are fairly consistent, as in you know what you are going to get if heathy. You just don't want them to get the bulk of their production early. You rather that bulk happen later in the season.

Going undefeated is incredibly rare.


I ran a girls team once; she let me draft her squad, run waivers, etc. she won every single game including playoffs. The guys she faced were salty, understandably so. I got a Pels sweatshirt out of it lol. But of course I have never won a league. I'm a perennial playoff loser.

I’m in the same boat but I just lost Beckham. I’ve only played him in one or two games :(

Now I have to find a “replacement”

I think it's a big difference between scoring a lot because of huge weeks, and being consistent. I'm 5-0, have highest total scoring, and highest point total 3/5 weeks in a 12 man league (other two weeks I was 2/12 and 5/12). I feel good about my team because outside of the 50 Hunt put up week 1, no player has really had a fluke game. Some have had low weeks, but mostly through 5 weeks they have all shown that they will get 10+ points per week, and the consistency is what wins leagues.
