There’s no way he’s going to make up 90 points on you in a week. You’re guaranteed a playoff spot. ---

You would have made up 70 points on me this week if I had simply repeated my performance from last week. So there’s that. Also I don’t want you to make the playoffs because you might win. ---

Incidentally, do you want to toss me Jay Ajayi for… something cheap? ---

I was thinking more like you could toss me Lamar Miller. ---

**Varlos** and **Hamlet** have both clinched playoff spots. If **furt** wins, he’s in. If **RNATB** wins, he’s in. But if **RNATB** loses, he will likely win the Wild Card as he holds a 65-point advantage over **Beef** and a 90-point advantage over **furt**. **Beef** is likely in if he wins and **furt** loses as he holds a 25-point advantage. **Beef** is also in if he wins and **RNATB** loses. In this scenario, **RNATB** is also in. If **Justin Bailey** wins, he’s in if **furt** and **Beef** both lose. ---

Thanks for breaking that down, **Justin**. I’ll actually be annoyed if I don’t win the division, for some reason. ---

Argh. Ingram might be done for the year. So now I’m _definitely_ not trading Miller. ETA: Ben Watson is still available… cheap. ---

**Justin\_Bailey** gets: WR Larry Fitzgerald VarlosZ’s last draft pick \*\*VarlosZ \*\*gets: 2016 1st Round pick (RNATB’s pick, which Justin acquired in a [previous trade](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18905235&postcount=578)) Kind of a counter-intuitive move for me, since I’m definitely in “Win Now” mode, and Fitz is in my starting lineup – this is going to shave 4 or 5 points off my projection every week. Nonetheless, I like to have a young roster, I never would have been able to get as good a price after this season, I have good players on the bench, and I can make this trade for the future while still probably being the slight favorite in the playoffs this year. I’ll also go into next season with two #1s and a high #2 (dale’s), which is pretty good for a guy who already has a good, young roster. I am sad to see 'ole Fitzy go. He’s been with me since our inaugural draft. Now, the only two such players still on my roster are Calvin Johnson and Greg Olsen. ---

Well I’m boned. My team is older than dirt and making one last play for the playoffs seems to have blown up in my face. I have a feeling that next year is not going to be a productive one for the ol’ Gusterrhoids. ---

Yahoo is doing a promotion this week where every fantasy league gets to play a little daily fantasy sports / salary cap league against the other people in that league. You pick a roster of players worth $200 and then see how you do against the rest of the league. It’s mostly just for fun, although they’re giving out 2 bucks to both first and second place in these contests. They’re using it to try to promote their DFS service, but it seems like a fun little side-game to play against our fantasy leagues. Anyway, at least 4 people in the league need to submit a roster for the contest to run. You have until the games start. So put together a little salary cap roster. It’ll take less than 5 minutes. It’s along the top of the screen - an “enter contest” button appears on the top right when you’re looking at a league page. ---

Woops, disregard that. I thought it said that it was free, but it’s actually a $1 contest. It’s still sort of a fun idea - playing DFS against your league - but I can’t participate since Nevada is one of the states that bans it. I thought I could because it would be free. ---

From what I can tell, it’s not free. It only costs $1, but I’m not breaking out my credit card for it. EDIT: Doh! I could have saved myself 28+ minutes if I’d previewed the thread. ---

Yeah, sorry about that. I saw some promo a few days ago about a free something something, then saw the DFS today, and thought that’s what it meant. Gronk may be playing tomorrow but he’s playing a late game and I won’t have confirmation early on. Hate that sort of thing. ---

Dear God I’m having last minute thoughts to switch Rodgers to Manziel. Sproles or Mathews is a tough choice. ---

And Dalton is done for the day after half a quarter. That might be my season done too, even though I’ll probably still make the playoffs. ---

furt scored like 70 points in the half hour between I last checked his scores. Shit. Things aren’t looking great for RNATB, though, so if I can pull it together that’s probably my route in. ---

Furt only needs 12 more points to pass me. Urk. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-fantasy-football-dynasty-league-year-seven/726425.md?page=30) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-fantasy-football-dynasty-league-year-seven/726425.md?page=32)
