Yea I was surprised too. But I think I was even more surprised when I was able to get DeMarco Murray off waivers in both Yahoo leagues a few weeks ago.

I was just as surprised to see you already owned Kevin Smith in your league.

Was this a week before his breakout against St.Louis?

I just had a gut feeling he'd outplay Morris and Williams. For some reason, I waited a day later to make the add in JO's league, but it was too late and I had to wait for the waiver period.

It was before. But it was when he was the only back on the Roster. Felix had just gotten injured was going to be out several weeks. Choice had a hammy injury. So Murray was the guy.

I took a look at your team yesterday and considered throwing you a trade offer. Only thing is, you'll probably be asking a lot for the players I like on your team.

Most likely.. haha
I really have a hard time evaluating trades

That's exactly how I picked up Murray on ATD's and I was just as surprised. Then again, I didn't expect him to be THIS productive..

You keep snatching up players I want from the waiver wire.. lol I put a claim for Ogbonnaya (who would really help my team) but you got him two spots ahead of me..

Good call picking him up.

lol

Probably best that I didn't make any offers. With Fred Jackson now down for probably the rest year, I'll be playing musical chairs with my remaining RBs.

First Charles, now Jackson. Crazy...

[theblackdog]

Argh, Jordy Nelson and Mike Wallace screwed me hardcore this week. I'm 12 points ahead going into the Monday night game, with hopes that Marquese Colston can do something. However, my opponent has Mark Ingrahm, Victor Cruz, and Jimmy Graham for tomorrow night's game.

Methinks I will be watching the waiver wires

[frezeal33]

I'm in man.

[JO_75]

I performed a clean sweep as I won all my Fantasy matchups on Yahoo tonight. I also did the same on ESPN except in one of my leagues on ESPN, I lost. so 3/3 on Yahoo and 3/4 on ESPN isn't too bad of a week.

[PuRock]

Absolutely shameful.

I lost by .54 points in ER's league. But that's not even the worst part. The worst part is the team I am playing is 2-10 and has 6 players starting that is either on IR our out.

I got Shonn Greened!!!!!

At least it doesn't matter what happens. I"m in the playoffs and am not getting a bye either way.

[Ed_Reed20]

I get knocked out of the play-off hunt in the final week in my league by Purple Pain, and in JO's league, I beat him to move into first place with two more weeks to go in the regular season. Gotta love fantasy.

[theblackdog]

[Dubs]

I cant believe I got in the playoffs in JO's league..five game winning streak and the playoffs its gonna be something special..haha fingers crossed

[gabefergy]

First Round Bye in ER20's league!! Maybe I can get Miles Austin heathy for the playoffs =)

In ATD's league I think I managed to get everyone's best performance finishing in last place =(
I had by far the most points scored against me, while scoring 6th most points is not good enough.

[ravens__]

I'll be oh so mad if I lose my playoff matchup in ATD's league because of some BS that I still don't understand regarding Yahoo.. I just couldn't login (mobile) 30 minutes or so before kickoff when I heard that Kevin Smith and Jason McCourty are both inactives for today.. I was gonna substitute Smith with DeAngelo Williams and McCourty with some guy I was going to pick up.. And now D-Will has a 70+ yard TD run..

[T3hRaven]

Why aren't the Cards running Beanie today? If Pettigrew is the difference between a win and loss I'm going to be a little upset. I was going to switch him and Miller but was stopped by a snowstorm.

[ravens__]

I can't believe this is happening... Barring a HUGE day from Murray, I lost the only significant matchup left this season.. I actually am enraged right now with this crap issue I had earlier... Unbelievable.

[T3hRaven]

I need the Giants to stop Romo right now to (possibly) save my fantasy season. Oh dear.

Nevermind, even in the best case scenario I won't make the playoffs. I might still be able to finish with a winning record though, so I'll take that.

Yahoo went down for everyone yesterday. I couldn't even access my fantasy to make sure I had set up Toby Gerhart (thank god I had)

[PuRock]

Well in part to a letdown by Calvin Johnson and a gimpy 78 yard TD by Roethlisberger my season in ER's league is cooked.

3 playoffs games this weekend, only one victory. Bad week to struggle.

[PuRock]

Playoff Picture in JO's league (If my calculations is right)

6 teams are still in contention for playoffs. [b]Purple Pain[/b] is the only person who has clinched due to his record (which is amazing since he hasn't scored that many points). The other five teams are [b]King NdamuKONG, Mo Better Toughs, Best in the World, Da Nnamdi and Flacco Flicker. [/b]

Nobody from those final five has even a close sure lock on a playoff spot. Should be interesting because four of those five face each other this week. In case of a tie-breaker King NdamuKong and Mo Better Toughs would probably have the edge due to the amount of points scored.

Flacco Flicker is the only team that MUST win to even have a shot at the playoffs. All the other teams could technically lose yet find themselves in the playoffs.

The play-off picture is certainly interesting in JO's league.

It just goes to show how unpredictable fantasy is. Only three teams have scored fewer total points than Purple Pain but only one team has had less points scored against them(me by 1 point exactly).

Hoping I can win out and secure a bye.

Yea. Sometimes you can get lucky and not score many points yet make the playoffs. Its the most painful when you score the most and don't make the playoffs.

There aren't any byes in this league. Playoffs start Week 16 for two rounds. Only 4 teams.

Right. I forgot about that.

Hope my players don't cripple me with dud performances.

It is looking like a nice year for me, I just hope the Ravens have a better one!

Oh yeah, I also crushed the BR.com offseason mock draft

Yeah, I could care less about fantasy games if it meant the Ravens kept on winning..
As for the offseason draft, we should like have a poll at the end of the season to vote who had the best draft. You had Carolina, right?

Yup, I had Carolina. I think a poll at the end of the season makes a lot of sense. That way we can really get an idea about how the players we drafted/traded for worked out this season.

[JO_75]

The final week is here congratulations to Flacco's Flickers and King NdamuKONG on making it to the Championship Game. Well I would like to thank everyone who joined my league this year. It sure has been fun and the playoff picture was quite interesting. I kept the Fantasy League up through Week 17 because it's boring if it ends in like Week 15 or 16 so it adds more to it. Good Luck to everyone though as in this final week we have match ups all over to determine the final standings which I will post now:

Championship Round
Flacco's Flickers vs King NdamuKONG

Consolation Round:

Purple Pain vs Mo' Better Toughs

Da Nnamdi AwesomDogs vs Prestige World Wide

Leach Seed +5 HP vs Best In The World

I will post the Final Standings Monday or Tuesday. Again Thanks everyone who joined my league

This is Fantasy Football, Your thinking of the BR.Com Mock Draft we had earlier and I think we never really did the poll at the end since it took so long.

Actually, they were referring to the Mock Draft. ravens__ complemented gabefergy on his success this season in Fantasy. gabefergy brought up his impressive Draft, front lined by the fantastic first 3 picks and they went from there. I still can't believe most of us QB needy teams passed on Cam Newton.
