HBT Fantasy Football 2014 #2

Hopefully I pull off the W with Gray's 40+ On the bench. Not yet mathematically eliminated....

With my incredible 1-9 record, I don't think you have much to worry about. I'm in 3 leagues this year and dominating the other 2. This league is killing me but I love fantasy football and just to be playing is worth it.

Exactly how I feel. Last year at this point I was doing terrible in the HBT league but still had fun. Its just as much luck as it is anything else.

Yes, there is a lot of luck involved with picking the right players at the right time to be playing in your lineup. After winning 8 straight, I've lost the last 3 because of bye weeks, injuries, etc.

Here's to hoping I can start winning again.

Ha, sitting here watching the Broncos game cheering on Britt thinking someone will finally pick this guy up, when I soon realize he is was picked up by the opposing team this week. Nice job guy.

Well I wanted to say nice job pulling out the win by less than a point, but it seems you've never even posted in this thread so not sure you'd ever see it.

Haha he saw it, he sits behind me at work. im a bit more active than he is on HBT.

Looks like Im gonna lose this week....

 

[Roscoebrewdog]

I won, with latavius scoring 25+ on my bench. I just need to throw guys that I pick up in my lineup.

IT looks like Mike showed no mercy on his opponent this week!

Not sure what happened, but my team went nuts. Not meaning to rub it in, but my bench beat his team...

Ok, maybe I do mean to rub it in

Haha I wasn't sure how you werent doing so good the first part of the season, now your guys are hitting their stride.

 

[finsfan]

This playoff week is going to be rough! There are many teams in the mix and it could go any direction. Good luck everyone!

 

[grathan]

Darn, I thought it started next week. How do ties work?

 

[finsfan]

It does start next week. If two people have the same record it goes by head to head record. If they didnt play each other it goes by total points scored that season.

 

[Roscoebrewdog]

I have officially been eliminated. Let me know where to send the beer

What he said, only i think i could have said it a week or two ago.

 

[grathan]

just a friendly FYI that both Ups and FedEx are hiking ground shipment prices by %5 Jan 1 if you use them for packages.

 

[finsfan]

I made it, but Im not sure Im advancing to the next round. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Barley_Bob]

Boy, that tie-breaker made a big difference at the end! Congrats to every one on a good season, and good luck to every one who has made the playoffs.

I'm not sure I'm going to be advancing either, but I guess it has to be one of us.

 

[Barley_Bob]

I never believed my projected score for a minute. Now it's up to McCoy to match Ertz+10... You know, do what I drafted him for.

[Barley_Bob]

Are you expressing the same incredulity to not-McCoy walking in that TD?

 

[finsfan]

Yes haha this is a stressful game for both of us! @#$*&@#*!!

 

[Barley_Bob]

And McCoy threw the key block for another not-McCoy's TD. Fantasy football is a fickle b!tch. Oh, well. Best of luck to our final two.

 

[mhurst111]

I need Stills to have a career best night and Bennett to lay an egg. Needless to say, confidence is not high. It was a fun season...

You had a heck of a run though. Started 0-3 and came back to be ranked #2, gotta be proud of that.

I cringed every time McCoy got the ball. I got lucky that they kept giving the ball to Polk on the goal line. Not sure what they were thinking but they didnt seem to get McCoy involved much last night. With Sanchez as QB, I would have run the ball 50+ times.

McCoy hasn't been too involved all year. Which I don't quite understand... Outside of Maclin, they aren't loaded at WR, and, while Ertz has been improving, they aren't blowing anyone away with the play from their TEs. They're trying to use McCoy as a first down power back, which he certainly is not. Then, they're pulling in Sproles for 3rd down. Sproles and McCoy are two of their best skill players, and they're almost never on the field together, which is making their offense surprisingly flat. I really do not understand why they aren't using some more creative packages and flexing McCoy and Sproles out to WR. Both players have great hands and can run routes. McCoy almost never had the ball in space, which is probably why they lost the game.

Anyway, McCoy was at least a better first round pick than AP or Charles. He's been on the field, but it would have been nice to get some points out of the #1 overall pick.

I agree, they easily have the best backfield in the NFL. Sporles with space to move can be very dangerous and he has proven that over the years. Having both of them play at the same time would be hell to cover for any defense.

I will be flying to Taos, NM this Sunday and dont think I will be able to watch football!! This is going to suck haha
