Getting passed like a dead animal on the side of the road for the bye week is a great feeling.

I know that feeling. Down 60 plus with 3 players left doesn't feel good.

At risk of jinxing it... It looks like you and I should sneak through with the last two Byes. I need something like 3 more points in the 4th and you need 13 - hard to see that not happening with the guys we have playing, but we'll see...

I was hopeful but honestly didn't think it was going to happen. Thank you Murray/Kupp and Prater for getting me 40 and 60 points I needed to pull out those wins. 

Managed to snag a bye in the playoffs which was goal 1 and now we see where the fantasy luck lies into the final weeks of the season. 

Fade Division be happy you were there, Draw Division was TOUGH! 4 teams with 500 or better records managed to miss out on playoffs with 5 teams all finishing at 20-8 to decide the last 3 bye week spots.

Well that was a very exciting season and I'm sure the playoffs will crank it up a notch. Here's your updated playoff bracket:

 

Congrats to the 32 teams who advanced to our playoffs. Expect a dog fight from here. To the rest of the league who didn't make the playoffs: thanks for joining us, we hope to see you next year. If you've got an itch that can't be scratched, keep your eyes peeled for the Fantasy Golf league that'll be starting up soon.

As the old saying goes, Fantasy Football is the sport where people invest 300 hours a week for 6 months to earn their $10 buy-in back. The following 8 teams have secured at least that by earning a first round bye: @maisner@ChiefMikeOfficer@Scott33@GolfSpy_APH@Camcmart@Rwagn4@blackngold_blood@poprocksncoke

 

As a reminder, here's this seasons' $$ payouts:

• Miss Playoffs or get eliminated in the first round: $0 
• Make it to Round 2, Semifinals: Refund $10 entry fee
• Finish 4th in the Super Bowl: $100
• Finish 3rd in the Super Bowl: $150
• Finish 2nd in the Super Bowl: $200
• Win Super Bowl: $10 entry + MGS Golden Ticket + FF Champ Badge
  • Golden Ticket is a free selection into any of the Official MGS Tests for 2022
  • Champ can defer prize to 2nd place (or further) in lieu of $$ payout IF the recipient accepts the trade

 

To those playing this week in the first round, you'll need to go 2-0 to advance. Good luck to all (except those I'm playing against  ).

 

Edit: Fixed the 5/6 pods in the bracket and made some minor formatting edits.

Better sweep hard to knock down these tree trunks! 
 

I don’t know why I’m surprised that I have 2 tough matchups with you and @mwr57. It’s the playoffs after all lol. Looks like I’m gonna be up late Monday night cheering for the ground game with both of my RBs going. #drama

Glad I snuck in for the last spot -- the week off might actually give me hope (a couple late-game injuries this week would likely lead to me bowing out in round 1...)

[GolfSpy_BOS]

gonna need a Miracle to pull off a first round upset!  Although I guess it's good that one of my opponents also has Lamar Jackson as his QB...

I’m just happy I get my money back! Woohoo!

Congrats to all that made the playoffs!!  Let the fun begin!!!  Good luck everyone!

Just as a note to everyone who may have noticed, yes the bracket was shifted slightly to flip the 5th seed pod and the 6th seed pod. This was done to give me the best possible chance to a title,  No, I actually noticed that the seedings were off this afternoon when I saw the bracket as it should be seed 1,4,5,and 8 grouped together on one side and seed 2,3,6 and 7 on the other. Nothing else changed, just those positions.

I mean if we are changing brackets, can #24 enter the playoffs as a out of the deck wildcard?

Should be a fun head to head!! I hope my guys stays competitive!
 

Appreciate all your work in getting this together, it’s been a welcome distraction from a CRAZY semester. I know you and @Berg Ryman put some time and effort into this.

*sorry if I didn’t mention someone else who has helped* 

 

Good luck to everyone!

Not specific to any of our leagues, but more out of curiosity. Who do you all listen to for fantasy advice? Are there specific podcasts, sites or rankings that you use over others and why? I enjoy the CBS podcasts, they are fun, pretty light and just enjoyable to listen to, plus they have several different people on each week to give you a variety of thoughts and opinions. I'm sure there are many others that are great and would be keen on hearing who you may think give the best advice?

Better late then never…

I’ve listened to Fantasy Focus on ESPN w/ Matthew Berry and Field Yates. Berry is quite a lot at times but if you can get past his shenanigans and constantly talking about his teams, they do give some really good insight and seem to be on it with updates and breaking news. Since I’ve started playing fantasy I’ve listened to them season after season and have made the playoffs every year, and finishing in the top 2 or winning it multiple times through the years. I’m in to deep now with their inside jokes and what not to stop listening and but addition to the first two, Stephanie Bell and Mike Clay provide great information and analytics with helping set lineups and determine matchups. And it’s an easy listen through podcast form on the ride home from work during the season.

I usually try to get that going before the new year. Stand by. 

Definitely interested in trying that out! Heard great things about it from @blackngold_blood!

Draw Division Congrats to these teams for securing their playoff births. Even though seeding and the final 4 spots are still very much up for grabs!

In Draw we also have 8 teams who could make the final 4 spots... looks like it could come down to points scored for the final spot as well!

Fade we have 13 teams who secured their rights into the playoffs.

Leaving a few spots open for some change

Holy crap I made it! I am/was in battle mode trying to pick up as many Ws to get in.
 

Was really hoping to go 2-0 this week but James Conner had other plans! He was in a proposal to me earlier this year and I was dead set on Edmonds, lmao!

Might end up working out for you in the end -- I've been riding the Conner train most of the year, but he might be going out and Edmonds might be coming back soon...

Not the best playoff look for me:

At least from what I've hear or read it looks like Conner and Ekeler will be back and won't miss time.
