Jacobs gets the touchdown and I escape again. Who gets the terrifying side of the feast or famine next week? ---

And then there were two… Really feels like a crapshoot at this point - which of the many RB1s and WR1s that are available do I want to pick up and maybe start? I just lost Ja’Marr Chase to suspension, so I can either plug in Tee Higgins or Davante Adams, or pick up Amon-Ra or George Pickens… Best of (bad) luck this week, @Munch! ---

Am I remembering correctly that Wilson’s original team was generated via Autopick? ---

Yes it was! I still have five players from the autodraft - Hurts, JSN, Derrick Henry, Tee Higgins and Stafford. Munch only has two I think - Rashee Rice and Jahmyr Gibbs. ---

And Rice was dropped and picked back up. It’s fun that we each got to the final game with such different strategies. ---

D’oh, finally had a week that no one went ballistic and bailed me out. It was bound to happen eventually. Best of luck to you both. ---

Should be an epic battle for the crown. As one would expect, most of the league leaders in fantasy points are on these two rosters. And it may not be decided until Monday night. ---

Josh Allen just had his worst fantasy performance of the season, which included a pick on his last pass. Probably not exactly what Munch had in mind to open the final weekend. ---

Nope. I second-guessed starting him - Thursday night games seem to be a crapshoot, and Houston’s defense has been surprisingly good. But I couldn’t sit him after last week’s performance. 8 sacks?! ---

And to make things even better for me, I have Houston’s defense in the He Hate Me league, where I’m also playing Munch. ---

Well, Munch, 49.9 points from Jahmyr Gibbs might make you feel a bit better. And 20.10 from Rashee Rice helps as well. ---

Lamar Jackson scoring less than Allen assuages my Thursday night pain. Things are balancing out. ---

Wilson needs 43.27 points from Dowdle and CMac tomorrow night to win. A lot of points to make up, but not impossible with those two guys, as both of them have scored over 30 points multiple times this season. ---

Eh, I’m not too hopeful - what can you do when you’re going against a player that goes off like Gibbs did. Also kicking myself for starting Tee Higgins instead of Amon-Ra or Adams, was trying to be too cute. At least I got the QB call right. ---

This is the greatest accomplishment of my life! But seriously, that was a lot of fun. There’s a lot that Yahoo can improve, but I’m glad they offered that. I hope we can fill the league next year. ---
