Fantasy Football BBV (Brags, beats, variance)

[OregonLAA]

Not in a championship in any of my leagues. First time since I've started playing I haven't won one and I'm not even in the title game. It feels weird to watch football without fantasy implications

[Chuck]

Wooooo. Two Leagues, Two Championship Berths!

I had no idea our playoffs were 2 weeks long. I didn't even look at my lineup last week.

I didn't either. I set my lineup and didn't look at the opponent until Sunday, after the games started. I was shocked to be playing you again, had to check to see if ESPN was broken.

 

Fortunately I would have beat you even if Shorts would have played, or your best backup was in his place.

 

I can tell you Katie that you're playing for 3rd place now, so set your lineup the next two weeks.

I've only played FF once before and didn't make the playoffs. I'll remember this time

You're poised for another entry into our league next year for sure. You had a great team. Good job, Katie.

I beat Chuck twice and Peter so in my mind I already won the league.

Beat: Starting Chiefs D over Carolina, Stacy's fumble. The dude I'm playing has Manning and Decker....so it's a double whammy when they connect.

Brag: Garcon, Murray

Variance: Need Cutler to go off (40-50 would br sweet), consequently I need the Bears D to eat shit and for Roddey White to break his ankles to win the championship.

Lost in my big money league. AP, the Chiefs D and Cam Newton killed me. My FLEX spot also got me just 5 points. Bad Bad Week, but at least I get $400 out of it for second place.

[Brandon]

Double beat: The dude that won is a d-bag that no one in the pub league likes. He's a Broncos homer that wears the same jersey every Sunday and even when the team was on a bye. Because the Broncos are good, his team of Manning, Decker, Prater, and I think he has Moreno although I know for sure he picked up Ball when I dropped him are good.

The thing that sucks about losing to this dude is he picked in front of me and I was pumped as. Charles was going to fall to me. This asshole can't make a pick in the allotted time (who can't make their first pick in two minutes?) and since we did a live draft the commissioner gifted him Charles....maybe in an internet draft the auto pick is different, who knows.

Guy does other scummy things, but those will be in a bar etiquette or what not to do thread.

I didn't realize there were playoffs, and consequently had no idea that they would start before the season ended. I don't think my team is still playing, but I'm really not sure.

Won the super bowl in my primary league that I've been doing for 23 years.  Nice balanced scoring from Kaepernick, Murray, Charles, AJ Green, Julius Thomas and Panthers D.  Beat the #1 seed (I was #3) handily, which is nice because he's a bit of a talker.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Had my annual 10-team league PLAYOFF draft yesterday.  Drafted third overall.  Select 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 D.  No replacement.  Real NFL team loses and you lose any players from that team.  No head to head, just accumulate points through the Super Bowl.  I got

 

QB- Cam Newton            (7th round, last team to draft a QB)

RB- Marshawn Lynch     (1st round)

RB- Monte Ball               (6th round)

WR- Michael Crabtree    (4th round)

WR- Randall "Tex" Cobb         (5th round)

TE-  Jermaine Gresham    (8th round)

K-    Steven Hauschka    (3rd round)

D-    Seattle Seahawks   (2nd round)

 

Team 1 took Peyton, but was somewhat surprised that Team 2 took Drew Brees.  There is a premium put on players that will likely go deep into the playoffs and I feel like N.O. will potentially win in week 1, but then travel to Seattle or Carolina.  I figured with 3 Seahawks and 1 Panther (QB against a weak Denver D, should they make it), I had a pretty good shot of having difference makers remaining for the Super Bowl unless something unusual happens (a road team winning 3 straight...9'ers).

I'd actually like to do one of those.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I like it for two reasons.  One, it gives me another reason to pay attention to the post-season (especially if my team hasn't made the playoffs).  Two, if your fantasy team didn't do too well, it offers another opportunity to win some money.  Top 3 scoring teams in this format win money ($250, $150, $100).

I finished sixth in one league (lost the fifth-place playoff game), won the other league after losing the championship game two years in a row to the same team I beat this year. It was tight, though. I won by three, and I needed points from two Dallas Cowboys (with their QB out) in the last game to pull it out. Got just enough. The Chiefs benching Jamaal Charles really screwed me, and until about the last four minutes of the Dallas-Philly game it appeared to be fatal to my chances.

I'm drunk half the time I post here, so not sure if I mentioned my outcome.

Didn't want tto play this year but was coaxed into it with free booze on Sundays with a pub league. Ended up losing in the championship to a d-bag. I was projected to win by a few, so it was going to be a close game. But, I ended up -20 points below projections while he ended up +20 for around a 40 point swing loss....he almost put up 200 on me.
