This is some scary crazy stuff...I've never seen a game suspended like this before I don't think
"Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin suffered a serious injury during the first quarter of the team's Week 17 Monday Night Football showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Hamlin fell to the field after trying to get up from a collision with Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. Medical personnel worked on Hamlin for several minutes. ESPN reported that CPR was administered.
Hamlin was removed by ambulance. The game was temporarily suspended.
Hamlin, 24, is in his second NFL season with the Bills. He played college football at Pitt.
"How do you as a member of the Buffalo Bills or the Cincinnati Bengals continue on ... to play this game?" ESPN play-by-play announcer Joe Buck said during the broadcast". https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2023/01/03/damar-hamlin-suffers-serious-injury-during-buffalo-cincinnati-game/69771881007/

I cursed Fields, literally texted a buddy right before he sprained his ankle.
Sometimes reality is a scary place to live.

Unless Freiermuth gets like 3 touchdowns today, you might still have a good chance in the Bengals game tomorrow. Higgins and Mixon and maybe 40-ish points to make up vs McPherson.
If McPherson scores a regular distance FG and makes at least one extra point, Barbarians will for sure need those 40+ fantasy points to win. Mixon and Higgins have only once topped that number though, in week 9 thanks to Mixon's historic 5-TD day against the Panthers.

Bengals vs. Bills has the second-highest O/U spread this week, bookies expect a high-scoring game, thus Barbarians still have a chance for a comeback. We will see if Mixon and co can back those ''We the big dog of the AFC'' comments. Either way, good luck to both Barbarians and Cows Reloaded!
Welp, I'm fucked.
We know. And it looks like you might lose the FF championship.
The Eagles plan to rest Jalen Hurts against the Saints.
WTF is the point of that? Is he injured? The tweet made it sound like they just picked a body part as an excuse; "
As it is the Eagles are at risk of falling to the 5th seed. If they lose next weekend the 9ers or the Cowboys can take top seed from them if either of them win their games. It seems like they squandered their best chance to clinch the top seed today, I don't imagine the Giants are going to gift it to them next weekend.
They aren't just resting jalen hurts for the sake of it, he can't go. There is no way the eagles are just resting him multiple games to throw minshew out there. Good thing for the eagles is that the giants have the 6th seed locked up, they can't go up or down in the standings norther a win or loss. So if they have anyone banged up a bit they might rest them. Eagles can fall from 1st to the 5th seed with a loss and a cowboys win.
Congratulations to both of our finalists! I will not pretend that I am not disappointed. I thought the finals was already a certainty for me.

I overestimated my team and I also thought they would give me the same level of performances to the end of the regular season. I also stopped reading the news and other updates on the players. I also stopped checking the waiver wire until it was too late. I wish next season was tomorrow already hehehehehe.
You did well, this is just your second year playing FF and you put together a very good team, during the regular season a consistent output for your starters is key and it showed on your record, but when it comes to the playoffs a single bad game by a few of your players can be enough to get you eliminated.snip

I did not believe your reply at first and I thougnt you were only making my loss against @Hueristic feel less painful hehehe. However, after witnessing how my team has performed for week 17, I am completely quite angry on why my stupid players did not give me a similar performance during week 16! I want the next season to begin already! Can we organize the draft order earlier? I am certainly going to join next season.

bbc.reporter must have really wanted that 3rd place

Another crazy week of fantasy football. I was not in any championship games today but did playin a 3rd place and a 5th place game so I paid slight attention to fantasy stuff going on and what a wild week. I feel like I can't remember this many players being hurt or under performing when it comes down to semi-finals and championship week games.
Fantasy aside- It's looking like the Chicago Bears will either have the #2 pick or quite possibly even the #3 pick in this coming NFL draft. Already having a QB, it's exciting to think of the prospects of what they could either land that high or perhaps trade a few picks back for to load up on some extra picks and a super high end player. One exciting thing when you're team sucks as bad as the bears do lol.

For some reason we all still have a game this week?? 
My ESPN league has concluded, finished 8-6, 5th place out of 10. A pretty mediocre season for me this year.
Teams with the two best records, Jerkers and Coiners, play for the most consolation.
Congrats to South Park and Hueristic for some well-deserved championship matchup spots.

Yeah as other have said they allow teams to keep playing so that theres then a final ranking at the end of playoffs/championship game. Unfortunately I will remain in dead last place since 9th and 10th don't get to play in the playoffs at all.

Yep congrats to the 2 finals spots it's been a fun season! My season didn't start out how I wanted but that's fantasy football. On paper your squad looks good and then the season starts and starts to crumble in on you lol. Good luck to the 2 of you amd may the best te win!
Well there problem for you was having that issue where the draft wasnt starting properly and then your screen didn't update or whatever when the draft actually did start running live.
But yeah, I thought I had a really good squad in this league, which I kinda did, but the lack of a top tier RB and TE really killed me.
Wolverine blood!
Congratulations to both of our finalists! I will not pretend that I am not disappointed. I thought the finals was already a certainty for me.

And about the next season, I will admit that I would use a break, after the Q/Cows lost against the Barbarians on week 7 the Q/Cows went 2-5, at that time I guessed the bare minimum to make it to the playoffs was a 9-6 or an 8-7 record, so the Q/Cows were left with a very small margin of error, and since then I have been playing each match as if the Q/Cows were at the playoffs already.
And just to show you that luck does indeed play a factor, today I checked my team and saw Ekeler, Conner and Sanders all being questionable, and while it seems they will be able to play this shows how quickly things can change for a team, and while last year the injuries were a nightmare to the point 2 IR spots was my most desired feature on this league, this year I have been lucky when it comes to injuries.
Now if those players fail to recover I would have no other choice but to use my secret weapon:

I think the last two spots (Rollers and Chi) don't.
My prediction is that the final top 4 order will be the reverse of regular season standings.
Cows the champions, Barbarians, Jerkers, Coiners.
IIRC that's how I ended last year too, had a good run but unable to win games in the post season.

After the start of this season and Yahoo predicting I'd come in last place I'm pretty happy just to be in the final!
GL Southpark, you built a great team and if Fields plays and Hurts doesn't I'm a dead man!

The truth is getting a good score on Yahoo most often means you had a bad draft. They only run these scores using a single criteria and that's simply if you chose the next highest ranking player via their rankings. Anytime I get a good score (have never gotten an A) I normally don't have a great team. My best teams are when I get a bad grade.
Was a rough season for me, and the sad thing my team is pretty damn good. My running backs killed me. Not having the ability to draft a high end RB is such a major disadvantage.
Congrats to you both.

While I am glad to make it to the final, suchmoon simply got unlucky during our match since their players simply failed to perform at the worst possible time.
And about the game against the Barbarians it seems it is going to be a close game, however I will give Barbarians an edge as the Q/Cows players are facing a more difficult weather and schedule, however the Q/Cows have some hope as it seems Fields is playing against one of the weakest defenses against QBs this season, so if Fields could give another monster performance then beating the Barbarians could become possible.

Not sure which team I should root for in the championship game. Which one of you is supposed to be the underdog?
