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

I'm really torn on how to play this week - Scooped a bunch of RBs to fill possible holes but everything seems risky. Of my top options: Ekeler is like 95% out, Conner is both splitting time now and a GTD, but don't want to bench him for a hot Duke (because Duke might not even make the roster this week...). Basically went from having two top tier RBs heading into the playoffs to now likely starting two guys that are splitting time (at least one of them in the #2 slot of that split). 

Not bowing out just yet though. I'm hoping Josh Allen lights up the Pats in Foxborough again like he did during my playoff run last year - likely my only chance at advancing.

Ah dang... Kid's bedtime distracted me and I didn't check Conner's status on time. Big goose egg in the RB1 spot I guess I'll see you guys next season.

If it makes you feel any better, @maisner and @Mtbryant01 are dropping bombs on us so it would’ve taken a really special week to advance  anyway. I feel like a wet blanket with my zero points thus far.

I wasn't banking on advancing once I saw Ekeler's COVID status earlier this week - reality is I made a ~10 point mistake and I'm currently projected to lose by 40, so even without that mistake, I needed a lot of help. 

Still hoping for a Josh Allen miracle (both for fantasy and as a Bills fan), but ready to root for the guy that advances from our matchup.

Well it’s been real, guys! Tough end to a fun season, but there’s always next year! Good luck to everyone else left in the playoffs

Well after Sunday we have some results which Stud will likely report officially later on. But at a quick glance @poprocksncoke has advanced via a 177.35 effort in his bracket with @blackngold_blood coming close with 172.5 points and @Berg Ryman needing miami dst to put up 55+. 

In the other Fade Division @ghost_32 is currently in the clubhouse with 147 points with @Rwagn4 looming in the background with 129.15 points and Kamara as well as NO Dst to come. I'm thinking this one comes down to the wire (side note Wags truly sorry to see JRob go down, but with crowder started on the other side of that match it levels it out for this week)

In the Draw Division @GolfSpy_APH narrowly got by @daviddvm by .55 points. Locking up that bracket and the second spot in the superbowl. I said it in slack, but I'll repeat it here. I am so happy that I'm 6 hours ahead of EST and am asleep during the night games, because it would have been way too stressful to watch. 

Then our final bracket @STUDque is waiting in the clubhouse with a strong 179.6 points (actually leading everyone right now).  This means reigning champ @ChiefMikeOfficer will not retain his title (darn hard to go back to back in this league) however @Mtbryant01 still has Kamara and Parker left to play and 40 points to gain. I've seen worse odds!

Another pretty wild week and a lot of difficult matchups. Thank you all for making the efforts this season and making it as enjoyable as it has been. 

@STUDque you have represented the Commissioner squad well as has @Berg Ryman. @Undershooter it seemed like a rough season, but we appreciate all the work you guys do to make this work and organized. 

Happy to have @GolfSpy_BOS join me in the Mod Fantasy Squad as well we have to do our best to keep you all in check! 

Finally @blackngold_blood awesome job turning 3 rb into a superbowl contender. I know guys give you crap for trades and always warn newbies to not trade with you, but the deals you make are masterful and altho it can be frustrating seeing you turn nothing into gold (dare I say black into gold?) and it is always fun to see as well as take part in.

It was a incredibly fun year. Sad to see it end but a combined 8 points from Kittle and Hill ended up costing me. Glad that Dak had a good game and made @poprocksncoke sweat it out. Congrats to all that advance and good luck!

[russtopherb]

I think my lineup this week will be inserted into Wikipedia for the section on "laying an egg", although injuries and covid played a big part in that. But honestly even if they went off I'm not sure I would've hit 175+points like my opponents did. Good luck to everyone advancing!

[STUDque]

Pretty stoked how this week worked out after losing both Cook and Kelce. I’m thrilled to have the lead I have, but terrified of Kamara and Parker. Looks like it’s going to be another late night, last game sweat.

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs!   Was another great season of fun and excitement

Was a fun season, good luck to all the rest of the way...

Kamara didn’t do much tonight but it looks like Miami’s D is going to bail me out this week.   On to the final 4!

[STUDque]

And we're on to the Super Bowl. Congrats to all 4 teams that advanced to the end. Who's going to take the trophy and coveted Golden Ticket that comes along with it??? Somebody pinch me, I can't believe I'm still playing after missing the playoffs the past 3 years. Let's gooooooo!

 

 

[GolfSpy_APH]

If the projected scores say anything it is going to be stressful!
 

[Berg Ryman]

Gutted to have been drawn into the group of death, but happy to get my cash back. Onto trying to win the Circus title

[Mtbryant01]

Congrats to the final 4! Thought I had a good shot after Deebo last Thursday. Duds from the rest didn’t help! Fun season and looking forward to Fantasy Golf!

You had me quaking in my boots with Kamara and Parker still to go. Any normal week and that gap could’ve been closed easily but I guess this wasn’t a normal week.

congrats to the final four!  Do I back my boss @GolfSpy_APH or the underdog 8 seed @STUDque??

I think the answer here is obvious. As a  Boston sports fan, you can totally identify with the underdog story right? Never favored, never holding advantages; either overt, underlying, or otherwise. Total back against the wall situations. 
 

Yes, I think the decision is clear.

I think you should cheers for me to win and Stud to get 2nd. I can't by rule use a golden ticket now so I'm happy and get the banner and then 2nd (if they agree) gets the golden ticket. Sounds like a win win to me!
