For all the marbles

I somehow made it to the finals after backing into the playoffs!

But I am a little disappointed in who I am playing in the final. We do an NFL style bracket where the 1 seed plays the lowest remaining seed in each round, so as the 6th seed I took out the 1 seed last week. Now I have to play the 2 seed, who I think has a much better team. Seriously it is pretty stacked.

QB: Winston
RBs: Bell, Gordon, Rawl
WRs: Hopkins, Edelman
TE: Rudolph

My only hope is that he plays Gordon and he doesn't produce because of the injury.

As for my team, I am letting it ride with just about the same team I put out there last week.

QB: Ryan
RB: Murray, Howard, Monty
WR: Michael Thomas, Gabriel
TE: Olsen

As long as Olsen isn't injured, I am alright. I have Green on my bench, but he has the concussion protocol to get through first.

Dammit this is going to stress me out.

See, sometimes "backing in" leads to SB chances................same as in the NFL! It's all about timing.

@ill
I actually see this as being a close game. Good luck sir!

It is definitely going to be close.

$600 to the winner, nothing to the loser

Going for the whole spiel here too..........I am the no.1 seed by record at 11-2 for the year,but if you go by points scored,I`m middle of the pack.I`m playing the no.7 seed and he was 5-5-2 record.

I`m undecided about my qb situation......And this is my starting line-up:..
Wentz-Bortles or kaep..........yuck,just plain yuck!!(I`m thinking Bortles).
Zeke-Rawls(Forte and Riddick hurt)
Tyrell Williams-Cole Beasley(Allen robinson,yuck)
Ertz-(Ebron)
Seattle-9Minn)
Santos

As you can see,I got just a very average team that's playing a Cinderella role............How I got to 11-2 and won my first two p.o. games is a true blue miracle.

ill i actually like ur chances

Hey man, you're there for a reason. I learned a long time ago that easy matchups does not yield great numbers. Look at last week. Carr, Watkins, Hilton, Eiffert....these guys has sort of a bad day. Carr was not Carr like vs SD. Watkins was held to one catch vs a Clev defense that has give up over 30tds in the air. Eiffert with one catch vs a Pitt team that gives up a decent amount to TE in the RZ. Hilton started off hot, then Indy decided to run the shit out of the ball. I thought I had last week by a landslide, nope....needed Cousins to not throw any TD's to win. My point is, anything can happen. Go with your gut and let it ride!!!

Good luck!!

I don't see what you're worried about. I doubt Gordon plays. Bell is going up against the Ravens. Okay, maybe Savage breathes some life back into Hopkins. We'll see.

Gordon possibly being out is a big boost for me. He has AP on the bench and I am not at all worried about that. Right now, ESPN has him projected to win, but that is giving Gordon and Bell 20 pts each.

I have a couple questionable right now I am watching, including Novak and Olsen. I expect them both to play though

Trying to decide on Giants D tonight or Chiefs on Sunday.

I need to not over think this.

KC at home.... can't see it being some kind of shoot out.

Giants are a good alternative, but gimme the home team.

I will take that one step further. I think I prefer your lineup over his.

1 suggestion though, with Julio likely back you can probably find somebody better than Gabriel in your WR2 spot. I just am not sure he will get enough volume to count on him.

Going to have to monitor that one. He still put up numbers with Julio in the lineup, so if I play him I'd be taking a shot.

I am not saying he can't do well, but he is a boom or bust option with Julio back. Sans Julio, he had a pretty high floor. I don't think he has that floor, but he could certainly hit a big play.

Plus, watch the news on his shoulder. Bad injury for a WR

I was going to suggest this as well. Who do you have on your bench?

 

[ill]

Maclin, Malcolm Mitchell and Corey Coleman.

No injury designation on anyone this morning. Still feeling good about Gabriel.

His roster is now Bell, Rawls at RB and Benjamin, Edelman, and Baldwin at WR/ FLEX. Peterson and Gordon are out. He's taking a shot w the Rams D

 

[ill]

aaaaaaand I lost. Doug Baldwin netted him 30 pts and put him on top. My only hope was for Bell to shit the bed completely, and that wasn't going to happen. No championship for me. No new driver. Boooooooo
