League_Champion Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I'm just curious how many people are in a Week 17 Championship game. I've never been in a league that played into week 17. I can only imagine how hard it must be to put a viable lineup together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theirish Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I'm in one this year. Started a new league and the commissioner made it two week per round playoffs. So right now got a 13 point lead going into this week. It sucks because I had Lamar Jackson carry my team all year and now I'm having to go with either Prescott or d. Jones. I also have Hopkins and not sure what to do there. I know they said they will play to win, but I have my doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one last year and half your players are sitting or only playing a quarter. Makes no sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fair to go through a whole season putting together a roster that probably won't play in week 17 anyway. I personally think week 16 is to late. I think all Championship Games should be week 15 at the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a week 15 but i'd be all in favor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I am and I hate it. It's a 10 team league where only 4 teams make the playoffs. Each playoff round is 2 weeks long. I made the finals but have some serious holes to fill if I want to win. It's also winner take all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 If it ends in week 15, how many rounds of playoffs will you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm in 2 week championship. My team is dog poop. Dropped Fitzmagic for Daniel Jones CMC Mostert Kupp Ward Jr Not sure on flex: Boone , picked up Gus Edwards, Lat Murray, Thielen Going against Brees, Barkley, Freeman, Perriman, some others. I'm down 21 after week 16. Standard scoring. I'm lobbying for a change next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana is da Man Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I am in several leagues with week 17 championships and I do hate it. I wished they ended in week 16. Each league has a 2 week championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I hate those default ESPN league settings with the two week playoffs against one team. Dumb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've won the league 3 times in the last 12 years. Week 17 is a mess with tons of wiaver pick ups from the 2 surviving teams. It can feel like both teams are redrafting. It's weird and it sucks. Until you win. Then you don't mind it as much. If you are good at spotting waiver-wire gold, and only the two teams in the finals have the ability to pick players up, then it's weird, but doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not fun, is the end of the year guessing game on how many quarters Christian McCaffrey will play and who is backup is, and who will play in a meaningless game. It's not exactly fun research.

buddahj Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Looks like I'm going to win my winner take all league. Thank goodness I had a 40 point lead from last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
