1. Fantasy Football is the stupidest thing ever, unless a scoring change comes through this week to get me a third of a point, in which case it would be the best thing ever. Such a crap week. 2. That Christine Michael trade looks pretty well timed, now! Very glad that I was too worried about Rawls returning to get involved. ---

I agree, stupidest thing ever. I don’t even know why I do it. I was certainly glad to pull off the Michael trade, for all the good it did me. I figured his value would take a hit, but I didn’t expect him to be cut. He might make some noise for the Packers though… ---

Well I’m up 8.5 with a kicker against Lamar Miller. If I can pull this off and run the table, I can finish at 6-7. If I can get a little help, I should certainly be able to win a tiebreaker on points to make the playoffs. So watch out, everybody. The improbable run begins tonight. ---

It wouldn’t have even been close without the mighty efforts of… and I can’t believe I’m typing this… Kirk “How do you like me now” Cousins. I’m predicting 3 TDs for my man Lamar which would be 3 XP for Novak. C’mon Lamar!! ---

Well, I’ve officially run out of adjectives to describe the sorry state of my luck. All I needed was for Bill Fucking O’Brien to kick the chip-shot FG on 4th down with the game tied instead of going for it. So, at this point, I’ll bow out gracefully, and wish luck to all the contenders, and remind you how lucky you are you don’t have to face me in the playoffs. 😃 Now I’m off to run some numbers so that I can post a more nuanced analysis to support my crybaby-ness… ---

I’m clinging to 4th by a thread. I need to win out to ensure a playoff spot, with only one win separating 3rd place from 9th place (and two wins separating 3rd from 11th). Yet 1 and 2 not only have clinched, they’ve clinched byes. Disgusting! ---

_sigh_ I need Green Bay to score 150 points tonight, but none by Randall Cobb, who should stub his toe and be forced to sit all game. Gotta keep those playoff dreams alive! ---

Let’s go Iggles! Keeping Cobb out of the end zone while putting up a negative score. First time I’m cheering for something they’ve ever done. (Still doesn’t make up for “The Fumble / The Miracle at the Meadowlands”) ---

Hey, I seem to have made the playoffs! Or am I in the consolation bracket? I’m confused - I can only see this league in the app for some reason. ---

You’re in with the 6th, and final, playoff spot. Opening round playoff vs. Beef/Pancakes. ---

Also I would like to offer my condolences to Overly Sentimental for scoring the top score but not making the playoffs. That always sucks. For a while there it looked you might actually have finished in last place, too, which would’ve been the worst screwing since year 1 of the big league where I lead in points but came in 13th. ---

I love sneaking in on a weak schedule, not that anyone can really tell during the draft. At least one extra week of FF. ---

This season was really fun for once, until AJ Green and Stefon Diggs got broken in the same week. Then it was no longer fun. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs! ---

Tyreke Hill screwed me in the Dynasty league by… um, not being active when he went off a couple of weeks ago. Now he’s screwing me in this one too. ---

Very close game between RNATB and I. He needs 11 points out of Gostkowski to beat me, who has achieved that mark 5/12 times this season. So pretty close to 50/50. Isotopes defeated Court Jesters. He’s probably the guy I’ll be rooting for if I lose, since he’s the only guy in the playoffs with a losing record and it’d be funny. ---

I was projected to be massively ahead of you by now after the early games, but that darned Aaron Rodgers thing happened again. And Jameis picked the worst possible week to have his first no-TD game. ---
