He Hate Me Keeper League 2020 - Year 18

Well shit. Wilson and Metcalf failed me at the worst time, and it was close to 50/50 all day.

I looked about 20 minutes ago and I was still well ahead but I guess Brees must’ve scored 2 TDs since then. Hamlet has a pretty significant projection lead now although it can still go either way. It’s likely to go down to Tee Higgins.

Tee Higgins indeed. I need 24 yards receiving from him, something that he’s done all 12 games he’s played in this year. But they’re playing the Steelers and no Joe Burrow.

Shit. Now I have to watch the frickin Bengals. That’s punishment enough.

Oh for fucks sake, I can’t catch a break in this league. I lead the regular season a lot and then lose in the playoffs. By less than a point. And I’m gonna score like 150 points next week just to rub in my non-championship.

That was more bitter than I meant to sound. Just frustrating. Congratulations to Hamlet.

No worries. Fantasy Football is a hideous bitch goddess who requires the sacrifice of millions to appease her unyielding hunger for pain.

Good game. Better luck next year.

Ain’t that the truth. I’m over here keeping track of an alternate universe where I’m in the playoffs, seeing how I’d be doing. (I’d be up against Hamlet next week.)

I’m also contemplating whether or not to tank for the #8 draft pick, instead of the #1. It would be really nice if we did it Kentucky Derby Style, where everyone ranks their preferred draft order, and top pick chooses their best slot, etc. It’s easy to implement, and easy to opt out if you don’t care about it. I hate tanking, and that would be a good solution.

Shall we implement a Kentucky Derby Style draft order for next year?
  • Yes
  • No
  • I really don’t care, plurality is fine
  • I really don’t care, absolute majority
  • I’m not in this league, but I just like to vote
0 voters

That’s a good system and I think we should do it for playoffs, too, if that’s possible within yahoo. Top seed should get to pick which team they want to play every week.

What a frustrating finish to the season. I was unavailable to make any changes when it was announced Zeke would actually be playing.

Barring a complete goose egg for Michel or Harris, Congratulations Dave. Nice win.

Congrats again to Dave. Your consistent goodness is this league is impressive.

Just in case you’re not totally burned out by fantasy football or pick ‘ems or survival picks or of NFL football, I created a group, entitled SDMB (I know, I’m super-original), for NFL.com’s playoff challenge.

The gist of it is you pick players you think will score the most fantasy points, and if their team is eliminated, you pick new players. But if their team wins, you get bonus points (2x, 3x, 4x) for as far as they go through the playoffs. So it’s an interesting mix of fantasy and pick ‘em games.

The group website is here: NFL playoff challenge

The group name is SDMB.
The password is: cecil.

Join in if you like. Its one last shot at winning at fantasy football.

Bump: is this league returning for 2021?

The league is renewed in Yahoo but someone should definitely make a thread and start sending out PMs. I can’t remember if Wilson or Munch is doing it.

I can do it - I’ll get a new thread out tonight. But the new league is live if people want to make sure they were sent an invite.

It’s started and I sent renewals (I didn’t auto renew anyone) a few weeks ago.
Been out on vacation so haven’t had much time - Munch feel free to create a thread if you want.

Anyone who didn’t get an invite, let me know and what email it should go to…

Oops, wrong thread.
