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: 

True, Edmonds needs to get cleared though. Maybe they’ll just swap out. Edmonds started the year then Connor tugged the middle and Edmonds will finish it off!

There are some stellar teams. Was going through my section of the bracket and I think I know who I would put money on to get through, but wow the matchups this and next are going to be so tough. Almost makes it less stressful knowing that the teams will be so good and that I won't have the same expectations. Good luck to all this week and let the grind continue!

Now that Urban is out maybe that will revert Robinson the pumpkin back to his normal self!

Well @STUDque that didn’t take long. See y’all next year!

Not so fast there. Still a lot of football to be played this week. Mr Kupp scares me. Projections are still calling this basically a coin flip.

Indeed lots to play. Kupp needs to be my savior again. What a performance by Kelce …really turned it up that second half. 

[GolfSpy_APH]

I'm really hoping this is just the start for Kelce after his lackluster few weeks. Also hoping that this isn't the best week my team is putting together when they aren't actually even playing because of the bye. Just hoping this is their warmup for the real show! With the 4 starters I would have cleared 110 points!

Put this in the Slack space but I’ll post it here too:

No one will be able to put in waiver claims next week since no one has matchups set yet; we’re non-playoff teams in Fantrax’s eyes. The Tuesday game finishing out our week means matchups will be set Wednesday; no waivers run. Will force all players back to waivers, then set matchups, and only go with waivers on Thursday. If that makes sense. 
 

Also, we’re not going to make any special additional accommodations with all these COVID pops and games moving around. Pay attention to the updates, prepare for contingencies, manage your benches, and use that IR slot. It’s the playoffs after all, earn it.

This is really turning out to be a juggernaut matchup. In a weird week of all things. I hate it lol. 
 

Dalvin + Monty + 18

vs

Kupp + DK

 

Flip that coin, let’s see what it lands on.  Winner is the #1 pts this week. Loser goes home.

IDK, I like your chances.  Fournette was really closing the gap last night until that crazy helicopter run in the 3rd. Him and P Fry going down really hurt my chances of cutting into that Kelce lead! 

Only reason I holding much hope is that Lockett, atm, is not playing which helps DK but Ramsey was cleared yesterday.  On the upside for you, Cook will be going against a very depleted Bears DST as they added 6 more to the C19 list yesterday. I didn't even realize we are vying for top score this week! This has been a fun matchup! 

[Camcmart]

The COVID lists just keep getting bigger and bigger… really going to shake up these playoffs

@STUDque well 50 points is the number! Watching the game tonight was like death my 1000 cuts. You scored every play!

lol. Felt like the slowest accumulation of points ever. Constant runs for like 2 yards on both sides. Leader in the clubhouse for now….
 

Can’t wait for Kupp catch 10 balls in the first half and crush my spirits. Luckily, I won’t have to actually watch the game and feel the anxiety since the Fighting Footballs are going to be the game broadcast here.

Well I had to stop watching due to anxiety

[Crossroads Golf]

I don’t think there’s anything much worse than watching the game and agonizing every positive play that your opponents players make. Not how I like to root for fantasy. Just the worse especially when you lose by a handful instead of an onslaught and you second guess yourself when you have points on your bench… not how I wanted to end my first MGS fantasy football season. Thanks for having me anyway.

WEEK 15 WAS A MARATHON. What an exciting way to finish too; seems like many of the matchups came down to the waning seconds of the game. At least the games last night were somewhat competitive unlike many of the other games this week.

Congrats to @Mtbryant01@den748@daviddvm@ghost_32@ChrisW@russtopherb@Berg Rymanand myself for advancing to round 2 and joining the blessed few that got last week off. Here's your bracket:

 

Now, things kick up a notch. To advance to the Super Bowl, you must go 3-0 this week. Good Luck!

Thanks for putting this up @STUDque!

@daviddvm@Scott33 and  @den748 going to be a epic battle and regardless of who wins this week I'll be going to for you to win it all! Unfortunately I don't think any of us will put our best lineups forward with covid, but at the very least will be entertaining! Also nice to see a variety of high and lower seeds make it through to the semis. 

Good luck to all and can't wait for the week to begin!

[STUDque]

Not to be outdone, let's not forget that the Circus league playoffs start this week as well:

 

Now the format is quite goofy with SIX BYES plus it carries on past the end of the regular season. That's my bad as I should've done a custom bracket for Circus as well...but here we are. The Circus winner will be the team with the best score in Week 18. Good luck!

Between injuries and illness, I can't think of another season where I've been so stressed out over my lineup!!
