Gopher Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 1st place out of 72? I actually feel like I accomplished something noteworthy in fantasy. Thanks Gopher. Congrats. Pretty incredible that you came from behind to win the whole thing with that SB lineup. Peyton (9 pts), Tolbert (1.8), Owen Daniels (1.8), and Norwood (zilch) didn't exactly light it up. I guess it just goes to show that, as long as you're within striking distance after the first three weeks, and you can at least submit a full lineup for the SB, you have a chance. No offense intended, of course (and no pun intended either, given the defensive battle that the game turned out to be). The game just didn't have much in terms of fantasy moments, particularly for a contest with no defensive points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to my credit, I did intentionally start Denver's kicker over Carolina's because I figured everyone else would start Carolina's kicker. So 10% skill and 90% luck.

So 10% skill and 90% luck. LOL I wasn't saying that there isn't any skill involved. At the very least, you have to be able to field a lineup the final week. Getting to that week with good players takes some skill (or at least having a hunch who might win/lose the previous week). Looking back at previous years, though, the final week is usually a much lower score, if for no other reason than there are less teams to choose from. And, most people don't have every player from the two teams to choose from, either. I, for example, started Tolbert and Hillman at RB. Better than nothing, but I would have liked to have had Anderson and/or Stewart, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first time doing playoff fantasy football and I also came in 8th in DMD's league. It was definitely fun, so I thank you and DMD for putting it together. I asked about special teams because I had Norwood and he almost returned a punt for a TD and I was trying to figure out if it would count.

Shaft Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Thanks Gopher, payment received! Once again, it was challenging and fun. Thanks for running it! I might have to add this one to my signature. Edited February 9, 2016 by Shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
