In what is the final week of “real” fantasy football, Tony put together a lineup that scored over 20 points over his season average…and still lost. By over 30. Never hurts when you have a Derek Carr/Darren Waller stack on a 13-200-2 day for Waller.

Andy: It was a little harder this week to find the combo I really liked. Not sure I did, truth be told. I don’t have a ton of confidence in this slate.

Another week, another loss for Tony, who once again forgot to take someone who was ruled out of his lineup out, and at this point is just hoping to not end the season with a balance on Fanball, because he’d like to never use them again. Not because of his performance this year, which has been dismal, but because of weeks like this where they refused to offer a slate of lineups that used all 16 games–while featuring slates like Thursday night (now Tuesday) only lineups, and Monday Night/Tuesday night lineups.

So we skipped the Thanksgiving games–which ended up with a couple of solid games from guys who have been in our lineups a few times, like Antonio Gibson, and here we are.

Another week, and right back on track for Andy, with a 121.1-91.58 victory. Doesn’t help when Tony forgets that he started a guy that was ruled out.

Andy: Normally I’m not really one to play a Thursday night stack, but the match-up this week is too good. Well, it looked good on paper anyway. We’ll see if that holds true. (more…)

Andy wins. Partly because he is good at this. Probably moreso because Tony is bad. Either way, barring a miracle, it’s a lost season for Tony.

Tony got his win during Week 3, then managed to shut himself out Week 4 — somehow in editing his lineup, he managed to not technically file a lineup … but the contest moved forward, so he lost his wager. However, we figured out his point total from Week 4 manually and … he would have lost anyway — albeit close, 123.08-120.18. Another 30 yards would have given him a win.
Andy’s still got the lead for the season, but the gap tightened considerably.

QB – Russell Wilson vs Min – $8,300 – I have a sneaky suspicion that we may have some overlap in our lineups this week …
RB – James Robinson @ Hou – $6,900 – Sacrificing a little bit at RB this week … (more…)
It’s what I am gathering from public comments by Porter and confirmation conversations from voters. As far as Hall board…
I wish I had never gotten interested in the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Paul what makes you think that
Oh there will be changes but don’t expect any that really improve process, increase class sizes, or ensure long waiting…
It’s simply not true many older players are immune but the brain is a complex system that works and reacts…
