darin3 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) I dunno about y'all, but I had a TON of "crossover" last week. Lots of rooting for players in one league but also facing them in others. Not so much for my Super Bowl teams. Honestly, I thought I was going to miss out on making the championships in all of my leagues but ended up getting into four. Pretty proud of how I was able to fight off injuries in all of these leagues. Here's who I'll likely be starting come Thursday-Sunday. 12-team superflex redraft (non-Huddle) QBs - Prescott and Mayfield RBs - Cook and Zamir White (unless Jacobs plays, then Gibson) WRs - Collins, Pittman (if he plays) and Wilson TEs - going with 2 TEs... Kelce and Goedert DEF - Jacksonville 8-team superflex IDP dynasty (non-Huddle) QBs - Jackson and Mullens RBs - CMC, Etienne, Gibbs WRs - Adams and Metcalf TE - Likely DL - Garrett and Montez Sweat LB - Spillane, Speed, Leonard, Kendricks DB - Hamilton and Bates 12-team IDP dynasty (non-Huddle) QB - Mayfield RBs - Aaron Jones (meh) and Taylor WRs - Chase (if he plays), Hopkins, Moore, JSN TE - LaPorta DL - not sure yet, probably Koonce and Hendrickson LB - Ernest Jones, Oluokun and Bolton DB - Hamilton, Brisker, Owens 16-team IDP dynasty (ATAP) QB - Hurts RBs- CMC and Taylor WRs - Jefferson and Chase (if he plays... otherwise Hopkins) TE - Njoku (just lost Hockenson) DTs - Wilkins and Donald DEs - not sure yet.... Burns, Young, Dupree LBs - Warner, Barnes, Okereke and Kaden Elliss CBs - Reed n' Sneed S - Winfield -------- Who you startin'? Good luck to all!

Ramhock Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Lucky to make 2/3 championships. Teams were very healthy. Starting lineups this week: Half PPR - 12 team Dak Pollard Swift Monty Amon Puka Full PPR Superflex - 10 team (friend's league needed an owner on their draft day, trying to make them see they shouldn't have asked me) Dak Browning JTaylor Chandler MEvans DK Deebo Puka Pitts My third team was my best tho, lol, 12 team. Kicker killed me: Herbert RWhite Kamara Puka Chase Amon CD Picked up Puka in all 3 leagues after week 1.

Finn5033 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Made 1 of 3 championship games. 10 team .5pt ppr league K. Murray CMC K. Williams Gibbs Lamb Kupp Myers Jets I kept Lamb from last season. I traded for Kupp late in the season and got K. Williams and Mostert off the waiver wire early in the year. I also have J. Cook and D. Smith on the bench. On paper this should be a win but we all know how that goes. I’ve played in the same two local leagues for about 15 years now. If I can pull this win out it will be 4 championships in 3 years between my two main locals. Fingers crossed.

I don't think he's going to play. I have him in two leagues where I'm vying for 3rd and am closely monitoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) 3-week cumulative finals among top 4 teams (14 week average + weeks 15,16 & 17). Winner takes $1500, 2nd and 3rd have good consolation amounts. Entering week 17, the final week, I am ahead of the pack by 52 points. This is my only championship this year. Close in some others but terrible in most. My Starting roster: QB: Purdy (will pivot to Carr if Purdy is a no go. Just dropped Russ Wilson as my backup and glad Carr was available). RB1 & 2: CMC & Mostert (will have no choice but to pivot to Zamir White or Chase Brown if Mostert is a no go) WR1 & 2: Mike Evans & Tee Higgins TE: Kmet (can pivot to either Gerald Everett or Tucker Kraft, who both play later games) Flex: Waddle (will pivot to Jakobi Meyers or Brandin Cooks if Waddle is a no go. Cooks plays Saturday so the pivot would likely be to Meyers, if necessary) K: McLaughlin (Picked him up before week 16 and he raked in the points, hoping for same this week.) DST: Broncos Edited December 28, 2023 by Dcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in @Gopher 's Guillotine league where I'm in the Final Four. 4-week cumulative scoring, payouts depend on where you end up at the end of those weeks. Obviously everyone's roster is stacked, so it will depend on who has huge weeks. Need big weeks out of all of these players, as I'm in 2nd place as it stands now, down 25 points or so. QB - Dak RBs - CMC, Cook, Hall (sitting Ekeler) WRs - Jefferson, Rice, DK (sitting Waddle, Adams and Devonta Smith) TE - McBride (sitting Engram) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this is the last week. Good luck! Side note... Nothing like running your own guillotine league, and being the first one eliminated (back in Week 1). That's what I get for drafting Kelce, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 This post-season has been a roller coaster for me. Went 7-1 in Week 15, with another 3 byes. Week 16 was a disaster, going 2-8 even though I was "favored" in more than half of those matchups. Too many shares of guys who got hurt early (Hockenson, Sutton, etc.), as well as guys who just crapped the bed (Adams, Kupp, Diggs, Kamara, Ekeler, etc.). Brutal. So, I'm in a bunch of third place matchups, as well as two finals..... 12-team Local Redraft - This is an old-school league (no PPR, no flex, no TE Required, 3 pts per pass TD) where we celebrated our 25th season last year. I've won it a few times over the years... I believe this would be my 5th (or maybe 6th?) time winning, but most of my championships came in the first 10-15 years (I think I've won it once in the past decade). The cool thing about this one is that all FA pickups are $5, and all of that extra FA $$ goes to the champion. So, while 2nd and 3rd get like $100/50 respectively, the winner's payout can be up in the $600-700 range or higher. Not bad for a $50 entry. I've been known to spend more than my share (some guys in this league are super cheap, drafting two kickers, two defenses, etc.). There have been years where I'm pretty sure my total FA tab has exceeded the rest of the league combined. :LOL: I've got my work cut out for me, as I'm limping into the playoffs with the following (bench in parentheses).... QB - Fields (Geno) RB - J Cook, Z White (Pacheco, Dillon, Spears) WR/TE - T Hill, Nacua, Flowers (Waddle, Doubs) PK - Sanders DEF - BUF (MIN) Just dropped Stevenson to grab White, who I'll start if Jacobs is OUT. If Jacobs plays, I'm probably stuck with Spears, as there isn't much else on the wire. Or Dillon if he's somehow active and Jones is not. Also considering dropping Sanders for another kicker (Bass, Fairbairn, Gay, Havrisik). Just not sure which way I want to go there (my experience this year with "streaming" kickers has been that they are all an absolute crap-shoot). Dynasty Wars III (14-team IDP) - I've been in this league for 15+ years (my very first dynasty league, actually), but it's one of the very few that I've never won. Made a bunch of trades this year (including trading Stroud for Cousins early in the season... Ouch). Guys with asterisks are all guys acquired in the past 2-3 months. Managed to get the top seed and a bye, and a couple of upsets in the playoffs have set it up where I'm facing the 5-seed @cmath52 in the final (a team that had to grab Easton Stick this week just to have a starting QB). That said, I know that absolutely anything could happen in this final, and his team is solid across the board, with Saquon/Mixon and Jefferson/Kupp/Moore, as well as a bunch of studs on defense as well. I'm not taking anything for granted in this one. In fact, given that I've never won this one before, I'm probably more nervous about it that anything else. QB - Prescott* (Mayfield) RB - Mostert*, B Robinson, R White* (Allgeier*, Moss*) WR - Lamb, Metcalf (Doubs, Osborn, D Robinson) TE - Engram* (J Smith, Trautman) PK - Gay (Badgley, Dicker) DL - Cooper, Mack* (Autry, Madubuike, Jennings, Karlaftis) LB - David, Okereke, Spillane (Edwards, D Campbell*, J Campbell, Takitaki, M Walker) DB - Gilman, Owens, Melifonwu (Byard, Simmons, H Smith) Watching the Mostert situation closely. I sort of like the Doubs and Osborn matchups, particularly if Reed/Watson and/or Addison don't play, so we'll see. At LB, I'm always trying to pick three between the foursome of David/Okereke/Spillane/Edwards. And, while they're "studs" on paper, Byard/Simmons/Smith have been below-average DB's fantasy-wise, so they'll probably stay on the bench unless someone like Owens has an injury issue. Good luck to all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymouse Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I have a chance to win all three of the leagues I'm in. All three are total points over a three week playoff with all six teams who make the playoffs (leagues are 14, 14, and 16 teams). I'm in 2nd place in one, behind by 11 pts and 1st place in the other two. I really want to win all three because it would very much annoy @Henry Muto (who's kind and generous enough to commish all three leagues, plus many others). The league that I'm in 2nd place will require last minute changes due to game-time decisions, bleh QB: Lamar RB: Mixon and Montgomery (benching Aaron Jones) WR: Jefferson, Lamb and Lockett TE: Pitts (benching Freiemuth... last week was very frustrating having benched Pitts (15pts) for Freiermuth's ZERO points If Keenan Allen or Pittman (I'm glad his brain is healing, feel like he should sit out anyways) play, I'll first substitute out Lockett.

Butkus Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Late to Party but won 2 of my 3 leagues this year, including the only one that really matters with a $600 buy in with this lineup in a Superflex: Mahomes Kamara RWhite Lamb Evans Doubs (Waddle and Cooper out for championship game) Stafford as flex SEA K CLE D Lamb and Evans carried me most of year and got lucky in Championship game that my opponent had an off game as neither if us scored our season weekly average. But had big games to get to the Bowl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
