Gopher Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't think I've posted in one of these Monday Night Football "What do you Need" threads all year. But, I'm facing a 1-5 week, potentially, so it's time to change things up a bit. Had 3 byes, secured one win for sure, lost one, and trailing in four..... Local #1 - Need Edelman to outscore Steve Smith by basically 14 or more points. 0.75 PPR. Let's put it this way... That kind of discrepancy between the two has only happened once this year, and it wasn't in Edelman's favor. A true longshot. Multiple TD's, 100+ yards, double-digit catches.... I don't need all of those to happen, but probably at least 2 of the 3 to have a chance. I'd put the probability at less than 5%. Local #2 - Need 27 from Brady and Steve Smith. No PPR, and TD passes are only 3 pts. They average about 28 in this format, but I think the matchup makes it a tough proposition. I'm saying not likely, but certainly possible (probably the highest likelihood of the four I'm listing). I'll say 40%. Dynasty IDP - Need 60 from Brady, Smith, Tucker, and BAL DT Williams. As a group in this league, they average about 54. Definitely need a big night from Brady, and a few FG's from Tucker, to have a chance. I'll say 30%. Redraft - Need 22 from Gostkowski. Probably less than 10%. I'll be happy if I get one of the four. Thrilled if I get 2 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I need a time machine, lets go back to Thursday afternoon, insert T hill and B Powell into my line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I can start either Martellus Bennett or Dion Lewis in a PPR league, and need 22 pts to advance. Not likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothus Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I actually snuck into the playoffs in a couple leagues I wasn't expecting so that was cool. However the local league I really cared about and was trying to clinch the last playoff spot was horrendous. I was projected to hit 126 and win by 35. I instead scored just 35 points through yesterday. The laughable news is I'm only down by 15 points. I have Tom Brady and Edelman and he has Joe Flacco. So basically I need Brady to match or outscore Flacco, and I need Edelman to pick up 15 points in a 0.5 ppr/0.5 first down league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinger Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I need Malcolm Mitchell to NOT score more than 27.47 points and I will advance to the next round. I feel comfortable, but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxBandit Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I need Edelman to get through this game without injury (I am on a bye, and need him healthy for Week 15) Edited December 12, 2016 by SoxBandit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobwaa Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 of my 3 playoff teams.....2 got LevBelled my last team needs 13 points from NE DST and Tucker to advance decent chance...I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahl63 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 46 points from Bennett and NE Def. PPR. It's possible but high unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Guess Gopher's thread gets more love. Gonna be an interesting evening for me... Redraft/PPR - Down 24 and change with Hogan and West Dynasty/0.5 PPR - Up 65, he has Brady/Tucker to my Gostkowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 On a side note, had OBJ caught a couple more short ones or one longer one I would have completed a major comeback in one. Close, but no cigar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Because of Dak's horrible game last night, my opponent needs just 4 measly ppr points from Edelman to win 2nd round playoff game, so ..needless to say I lose first series lol...

Redraft/PPR - Down 24 and change with Hogan and West Dynasty/0.5 PPR - Up 65, he has Brady/Tucker to my Gostkowski I even bumped yours in an effort to let mine slide further down, but it didn't work.

darin3 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I even bumped yours in an effort to let mine slide further down, but it didn't work. I don't know what to say. Totally joking or whatever... Guess I can put this here too: I have the opportunity to plug James White in over West. I am sticking with West.... had Dion Lewis not come back I'd be tempted to plug White in, but he and Lewis basically siphon value from each other.

Shaft Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I need 8 points from New England's defense. I'm happy and pissed at the same time. I am the #8 seed going against the #1 seed. I was supposed to lose, then I was supposed to win, and now it's too close! I had Bell, BUT also started Allen Robinson AND Dez Bryant!!!!! The #1 seed had Brees, Hopkins, and Cooper. A lot of stinkers, but he also had Hyde, Hill, and OBJ. I haven't been this on the edge in a while. New England just needs to score a defensive touchdown on the first play so I can ease my nerves.

Finn5033 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've already wrapped up both my matchups to move on this week but I'm looking for a nice night from Malcom Mitchell. WR is my weak spot on both teams and another good week from Mitchell would make me feel better for next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, with him in the picture for NE, I think it's clearly West, no? Here's a quick snapshot of the past 3 weeks: West - 31 carries for 140 yards, 7 catches for 45, 3 total TD's White - 3 carries for 17 yards, 14 catches for 103, 1 total TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lewis wasn't in the mix I'd be fairly torn. I think West is used a lot tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
