You guys make fun of me for all the Browns draft choices - although not so much recently - but I think I hit big time on Josh Gordon. Richardson has been a good fantasy asset too of course, but I paid the appropriate price for him.
Congrats furt, our matchup is exactly why I love keeping divisions the same from year-to-year. I’m gunning for you next year and I plan to take back my division crown.
So here goes, THE PLAYOFFS…
(#1) We Do HGH vs (#4) CuteWiddleBunny(Hmlt)
(#2) Exploding Pancakes vs (#3) Fightin’ Quakers
And, THE CONSOLATION ROUND…
(#5) The Gusterrhoids vs (#8) Ides of Matrz
(#6) Varlos’ Zzzzzzz vs (#7) Isotopes
Hamlet and I are both peaking at the right moment. Should be a great matchup this week.
I can’t hear you. I’m too busy praying to whatever gods may be that RGIII’s knee is healthy and able to carry the load.
McCoy might’ve made it back to play this week, except the Eagles have a thursday night game. Gronk isn’t coming back. No idea about Nelson.
Bad time for the team to go into a slump.

Effect of the Doug Martin Trade on My Team (and other facts)
I traded Dez Bryant for Doug Martin after Week 6. Since I had almost nothing at RB before that (and decent alternatives to Dez Bryant at WR), the trade was almost pure profit for my team this season, which you can see in my scoring: an average of 114.7 before the trade, versus an average of 122.2 after.
However, those raw numbers understate the effect. As you can see above, the trade coincided with the league-wide drop in scoring after Week 6. (I assume the drop was caused by a combination of bye weeks, accumulating injuries, and worsening weather – I know I’ve done one of these week-to-week tables before for one of our leagues that showed a similar dip, but I can’t find it now.) So, my scoring was going up as everyone else’s was going down, and the real effect was that I was 1.5 points below average before the trade, and 9.7 points *above *after, a relative improvement of 11.2 points/game. (My trade partner **Petey **went from a +3.4 to a -3.1 after the trade, but I assume it was for unrelated reasons, as Doug Martin was frequently on his bench anyway, and Dez Bryant had an excellent 2nd half of the season.)
Of course, I wound up going only 3-5 with Martin on my team because my opponents scored an average of 122.7 during the final eight weeks, which would be the highest figure in the league if stretched over the entire season (to compensate, I faced an average of only 104.3 during the first six weeks, which would be the second-lowest figure over the whole year).
Have I mentioned I’m really nervous about this week? Hamlet is due.
We played twice this year, splitting them and both putting up 120+ each game. You have (another) point championship, while I just eked into the playoffs.
When I traded away my high scoring backup QB to some jerkface, I was counting on RGIII to stay healthy through the rest of the year to make a run to the playoffs. Seems like I made have made a tactical error there. With him, Morris, and Garcon, I’ve put a fair amount of eggs in the Redskins’ basket, and while I like Cousins, the machine runs on RGIII. I need him healthy this weekend.
Good Luck this weekend. And go jump in a lake. I mean that in the nicest way.
Doesn’t look like any of my injured players are coming back this week. Down 3 of my top 6 starters 
I’m a week late but if anyone wants to discuss the fantasy playoffs in general or the SDMB league playoffs, I started this thread.
With Jared Cook’s trip to IR, that gives me FIVE IR players for the season (Nate Burleson, Willis McGahee, Austin Collie, Blaine Gabbert) and Brandon Jacobs has been suspended for the rest of the year.
At this rate, I may have to put myself in at WR next week.
Well, it wouldn’t hurt your championship chances.
Next year, dammit, next year!
We’re all quaking at the fantasy implications of having Jared Hook, Nate Burleson, Willis McGahee, Austin Collie, and Blaine Gabbert back 
All these injuries leave me with few decisions to make, so at least I can’t fuck it up too bad with the sit/start decisions, so I guess that’s something. James Jones vs Donnie Avery is really the only choice to make. Or if I want to start someone off the waiver wire in place of Jermichael Finley.
All my talk about the inevitability of a Stringer vs me championship, it’d be funny if we both lost and neither make it.
Hamlet caught a tough break on RG3. But he’s got some good matchups otherwise. His team is coming together.
I’m not at all confident on my roster limping its way to the playoffs. I’m lucky to be matched up against Furt, the weakest of the four contenders, but even then, ouch. Injuries, plus Green Bay at Chicago. Richardson has an illness and may be restricted. The only players I actually feel good about on my team right now are Thomas, Gordon, and Moore. I could very well lose a 110 vs 100 type game here.
Hamlet losing RG3 as the playoffs start is a tough break. Not a good time to have a Redskins-heavy team, but I think it’s still going to be a close, high-scoring matchup.
Well good thing I didn’t outclever myself and bench James Fucking Jones, cause he hasn’t been around much lately. Demaryius Thomas is missing though. Also, I have a habit of picking the worst of my 3 defenses, but who would start Atlanta vs the Giants? I almost went with Cleveland though. I actually deliberately resist starting Cleveland players to try to counter my Cleveland bias.
Anyone who is surprised by that kind of luck for me hasn’t been paying attention.
Ha shit, there’s another one.
