Two weeks left. I need some help, but I'm still in it. I play the 4-seed this week. If I get a 'W' I will be over .500 for the first time this season. My lineup this week is:

QB Aaron Rodgers (PHI)
RB Chris Carson (NYG)
RB Austin Ekeler (NE)
WR Tyreek Hill (DEN)
WR DK Metcalf (NYG)
WR Cooper Kupp (@ARZ)
TE Darren Waller (@NYJ)
K Wil Lutz (@ATL)

Solid lineup... (should be better than 6-6)

Who does your opponent have?

Down the stretch in my league I went from 1st place to 5th in just a couple weeks.
What is worse I lead the league in points scored. This is the final week & if I lose I will miss the playoffs (6 team playoff) while leading the league in scoring. A very competitive league. Literally only 2 teams are eliminated going into the final week of regular season (12 team league)
This last week I outscored the whole league minus the team I was playing LOL. I am predicted to lose this week as well (about 42% chance to win)

How do you like them apples!!!!

I’m there with u . Most points scored. Least points against. 7-5 record. Three way tie for second. I play one of them this eeek with a loss I could go to 5th and a 7-6 record with the most points or top 2, and least or second least points against. Cruel. My buddy ha second most points scored. Most points against. And is 3-9. He has what I feel is the best team in the league. He is elmiminated.

I just acquired Aaron Rodgers a few weeks ago and picked up Austin Ekeler a few days ago. My average win is 34.6 points and my average loss is 29.8. Talk about Jekyll and Carlos Hyde.

At the moment his starting lineup is:
QB Ryan Tannehill
RB Frank Gore
RB Jamaal Williams
WR Davante Adams
WR Allen Robinson
WR Damiere Byrd
WR Michael Pittman
K Jason Sanders

Pretty bad starting lineup even if it was a larger league.

Crazy isnt it.
I have the 2nd most points against. way ahead of 3rd most.
alot of it at least in my season has been bad timing of who I was going to play vs. Bye weeks, covid last min. drama, & injuries. I had back up plans for all these things, just not all of them at once. LOL

yeah in a ten team league, you have to try to start that lineup. besides adams, theres not anyone who would be a round 2-3-4 pick, Arob was going round 5 i believe, then after arob, yuck.

 

[PhilSimms11]

By George I've done it. I won by 36 and over .500 (7-6) for the first time all season.

 

[PhilSimms11]

In my league I have week 14 set up as a positioning round...1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th, 5th v 6th, 7th v 8th, and 9th v 10th. If scores this week hold up there will be four teams at 7-6 (3rd v 4th and 5th v 6th). The two winners are in and the two losers are out. Doesn't matter where I rank now. It's a just win and I'm in scenario for next week. If I can do that I will have an opportunity to 4-peat.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Week 14 has arrived. Win and I'm in the playoffs (8-6)...lose and I'm OUT.

*clinched playoff spot

 

[PhilSimms11]

HOLY SCHNIKES, I did it. I am playoff bound. I won by 5. It was one helluva matchup. One thing I'm going to do before next week is get a new kicker. Wil Lutz has been very unproductive lately. When I was 4-6 I knew I couldn't suffer another loss. 4 consecutive wins later I'm where I wanna be. Thank you, fantasy gods.

 

[PhilSimms11]

I'm off to a decent start. 35-0. 27 from Waller and 8 from Ekeler.

went against Darren Baller in 1 league, against Hunter Henry in 2....F'ing TEs!!!

to add some salt into the wound, those are the leagues where I'm weak at TE, so I really have to rely on my other position groups to make up the damage

nice start, good luck, I think you should roll this weekend with those badass WRs you have

 

[PhilSimms11]

Well, it's over. I'm done at 8-7. I couldn't put together a 5th consecutive win. My guys this week laid an egg. It happens. No 4-peat for this guy. I did good by making the playoffs. I'll be back next year. Aaron Rodgers scored the same amount of points as Andy Dalton, Nick Mullens, and Gardner Minshew. That's the week I had. I also ran into a buzz saw with his lineup.

Damn he went with a double TE set against you. I'm going to the finals in two leagues, and I got bounced in the third league yesterday, where I regret not sticking with Logan Thomas as my TE (it's been tough replacing Kittle, who I have in all 3 leagues) and not pulling the trigger in starting Pollard over Miles Sanders. Also, Davante Adams was way below his normal production.

This will be my best fantasy season ever, and I want to thank everyone here for the great discussion. I feel it really helps to bounce ideas around here.
