Where Legends Are Born

This is weird...I thought I had replaced Higbee with Everett before the game started. It didn't save it for some reason.

Pretty mindblown that El Eguanodon is 1 of 4 teams currently with 1400+ pts but sitting in 13th out of 14 teams right now. 3/5 of his losses were his opponent's best week so far. That must be frustrating.

He’s just getting his due karma for his Gabriel Davis Tom-Foolery 😉

You're the favorite to win it this year. No pressure!!

Not quite the favourite but definitely have a good shot. There's a couple other nasty teams out there. I'm against the dark horse El Eguanodon this week and he will be projected to beat me. Maybe I'll continue the trend and have my best week of the season too.

If anyone is in a dynasty league that has an abandoned team that needs to go through a rebuild, feel free to PM me. 

[Drake 73]

Good match @Du5t3r, unlucky having to be matched up vs my team this week. Came right down to the wire too.

I have seen this idea going around.  Unfortunately, I just saw this post, as I don't check the forums very much during the season itself.  Given that it's now 2:54 PM CT on Sunday, I unfortunately don't think this is something we can implement this week.  I'm not opposed to doing something similar going forward.

I'll send an e-mail to everybody to get thoughts.  My thought is that if the majority of folks in the league want to do this, then we'll do it the rest of the season.

 

Did you guys ever so this?

 

If so I should have said something this week, I could have used my Steelers.  I'm more annoyed with myself for believing the NFL might cancel the game after listening to all the talking heads.  I should have realized the NFL isn't cancelling games unless a large asteroid hits the earth.

Even if the asteroid hit a stadium, the NFL would just shrug and postpone the game for 1-2 days so some of the rubble could be cleared up. And if the asteroid would hit during a game I think they would just go to commercials.

I sent an e-mail to everybody when this happened earlier in the year and never heard back from anybody.  I didn't want to unilaterally implement something that only a couple of people were interested in, so I didn't bring it up again.

If more people think we should do something like this, let me know and I'm happy to implement it going forward.

This has happened to me multiple times in this league. I have had extremely bad luck the majority of my time in this league but I still love it. ☹️

It's fine.  I was just ranting about my believing that game could be cancelled.  I understood the situation and played it safer than I should have.

Gabriel Davis picked up twice before 7 PM CT. Popular man.

I was watching a bit and his name came up. Good call from both of of @megamoviejohn and @Du5t3r I would say

[KennyWoo 3,319]

That was a heck of a game this week, @DerrickHenrysCleats.

Congrats

[KennyWoo 3,319]

Congratulations to @JMakand his Detroit Diesels on a fantastic championship run.  Doing that without McCaffrey and Golladay all season (basically) was a remarkable managerial achievement.  

I was going to post this last night but there was some theoretical chance I could pull this out and I didn't want you to think this was an insincere attempt at a "reverse jinx."  (I don't do bush league stuff like that.)

[Mek Daddy 223]

Congrats @JMak!

What a season! I really thought this was my year. SMH

The difference between a championship and 3rd place was literally that 38-yard Chris Hansen TD catch. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Like @KennyWoo said, you did an awesome managerial job. 

Can't wait for next season!

Thanks y'all! Even though it's a free league, this feels like a top 5 championship over the 20 years I've been playing. Lots of hustle and even more luck.

I pushed a lot of chips in to try and repeat last year and was bummed being a bonkers Blind Jameis game away. This is pretty redeeming. 

Let's do it again next year!

Well done @JMak, very well done indeed.  This season, both for fantasy and in the NFL, will be remembered for all the craziness that was a part of it.  To take home the title in this year is a feat to behold.  Congrats to you, let's run it back next year (though hopefully without COVID).

Congrats @JMak. Definatley no easy feat, one of the more active and on-top-of-their-sh!t free leagues I'm in. No easy wins here.

 

Looking forward to next year!

[predator_05 3,374]

Big thanks, as always, to @sportsguy21792 for running this league. The most insanely competitive dynasty league on the Internet. 

[Drake 73]

With 2 minutes left in the final week of the season, JK Dobbins scores the final TD of the fantasy season as the Ravens go up 34-17 over the Cowboys on Monday night. A pointless TD in the NFL world but not in Fantasy Football world. This TD put Vikingapocalypse ahead of Detroit Diesels by 3.10 points, dropping Detroit Diesels from 3rd seed to 5th seed. The loss actually helped Detroit Diesels make it past the 1st round as 6th seed DerrickHenrysCleats would have won that match up in the 1st round, as well as their 2nd matchup making a final vs Need Some Wood?. Need Some Wood? would have been Champion with Detroit Diesels getting 5th place.

Interesting how things dramatically changed for Detroit Diesels off the final touchdown of the season that in the short term, looked like it hurt them. GG's all.
