ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 15, 2013 -> 05:36 PM) Yay, My team is killing it in the consolation bracket!! Being mostly sarcastic about caring but we did make a rule this year that the consolation winner does get to select what pick they get in the lottery next year, so I might as well win. We have 3 divisions. In order to keep it interesting, the winner of the 9-12 consolation and the 5-8 winner's consolation get to be one of the "captains" for the next season. Then we draw one of the top 4 out of a hat. The captains draft their divisions. It's fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Fantasy football playoffs are all about luck. I scored the 2nd highest points in the playoffs ever in my keeper league last week but lost because the guy I faced scored the most (I got Vereen and McCoy'd). It's frustrating but it happens. I went off again in the consolation this week and will be playing for 5th place (and a captain spot - see above) now. Fortunately, in my other league I won this week thanks to Josh Gordon's garbage time TD. Thanks for the TD run Michael Bush!!! So I'm guaranteed $300 for 2nd, if I win it will be $600.

The guy I played in the semis scored 145 (second most of the week by far) and he's going to lose to me because I'm going to score 170+. It's funny because I also scored 170 against him in our regular season matchup. That's some bad luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 The Bears knocked me out of the playoffs. Rogers-hurt pick up McCown, then they bench him Pick up Jason Campbell-the Bears shut him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'll be battling third place with every possible great matchup in my favor. (starting with McCoy vs the Bears D) I should be able to get my $50 back (although being in the championship with the possibility of winning $400 would have been even sweeter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Justin Tucker mentioned how he's glad he helped out a lot of fantasy football owners after the game last night. It was a great luxury to have both he and Jamaal Charles this past week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Im that guy that lost his playoff matchup WITH Jamaal Charles in my lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I lost to a guy who had Jamaal Charles and not much else. He had some players starting that are on IR, but Charles got him 64.00 points. Edited December 17, 2013 by GoSox05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some players starting that are on IR, but Charles got him 64.00 points. I had a pretty solid team but Charles was my only player to really break out. I had Peyton Manning get outscored by Cutler, Josh Gordon was a garbage TD away from being a total bust this week and D. Thomas and Vereen had seemingly their worst games. Also went against Lacy and Greg Jennings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Once again, I have to choose between Cousins and Dalton. Both have good matchups. I'm leaning Cousins this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Decker or Fred Jackson for flex? PPR league, but 20 yards per point with 2 point bonuses at 75, 100, and 150 yards. I'm afraid the Broncos will jump on Houston early and run the ball all game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I've got a pretty good problem to have here.... Cousins vs one of the worst defenses of all time Cutler vs a garbage Philly D Big Ben vs a mediocre GB D I've rode Jay when healthy all year, but Cousins has the best matchup.

Rowand44 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Philly is 30th in pass defense and they should score a lot of points where the Bears have to throw a lot. And Cutler is just better than Cousins, I'd go Jay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I also have an interesting QB dilemma. It's a 2-QB league and my QBs are Luck, Fitzpatrick and Alex Smith. I also own the Chiefs defense so the concern there is that all I would do is cancel out anything the Chiefs D/Luck did. My other worry is that KC and Indy are going to meet in Week 1 of the playoffs so both teams/QBs are going to be holding a lot back here. I'm leaning towards going Smith/Fitzpatrick at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Stacey(hip) or CJ1K(knee)...Both are dealing with injuries. Johnson has the better matchup(Jags) than Stacey(Tampa). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I wonder if I get any points out of Mccoy. Also, depending on what happens, the next question is whether I get any points out of Marshall / Jeffrey. This is why fantasy playoffs should never count for that much and why regular season is a far better indicator of who is the best team. That said...hopefully I can somehow pull this thing off. I hope Packers/Lions lose and bears are playing for postseason and take care of business tonight!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Need 79 points out of Cutler/McCoy/V. Davis/P. Dawson to win the talkbears league. I'll take the loss if it means MCCoy doesn't play a lot due to Chip saving him for next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Down 16 points with McCoy, Jeffrey and Marshall (he has no more starters). Glad Packers/Lions lost so this game is huge for Bears. I picked up Brown...can start him if McCoy is announced to be sitting prior to the start of the game. Hopefully Marshall and Jeffrey go Hamm and the Bears do their thing!!!

SoxAce Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Just awful. Today I got 170+ points from my team (almost breaking the fantasy record in my league, Shady is still going though) and would've demolished both guys who are in the finals had I won last week. (which I should have... thanks Krush ) Instead I have to settle for third place for a second year in a row. I guess on the bright side, I get my $100 back.

Jake Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Championship intrigue continues on in my league into Monday. I'm down 114-120 now with Vernon Davis as my lone player remaining and nobody for my opponent. Non-PPR league. It looked like he would blow me out with Foles and Jackson, but neither ended up with big fantasy numbers. I didn't get a ton from Brandon Marshall, but enough. It would be a blowout if I hadn't started Cousins over Dalton........ Edited December 23, 2013 by Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
