Who's in, who's out? Made it in as the top seed even though I lost to the #2 team in the final week of the regular season. Now I gotta hope Forte comes back healthy by week 16 (and I make it that far) and Bush can keep his starting position over McFadden for another week (guy I play this week has DMC, I have Bush).

I had a great win this week that moved me from 6th to 4th and so now I don't have to play the #1 team in our league for another week. Although the guy I am playing this week completely killed me 3 weeks ago lol.

I'm in as #1 seed with a 13-0 record --- woot.

Been playing with these guys for about 8 years, since highschool, and we've never had an undefeated season, so I'll be letting them hear about it.

Standard scoring finished with 1719 pts (avg 132.2 per week) --- next highest average = 108.5

qb - e manning
rb - ray rice (was keeper)
rb - lesean mcoy (was keeper)
wr - m wallace
wr - w welker
wr - a brown (replaced britt after his injury
te - jimmy graham
d - who cares
k - kasay

I better win this thing.

# 2 seed in 1 league. Missed out in my other 2 leagues by a game (or total points scored, since I tied in both). Fucking injuries decimated me the last few weeks. That and waivers, when I missed out on some FAs to a guy who was 0-11....

I think I will win my league I am the #2 seed in. Started out 0-3, having scored 233 more points than the next highest after the first 4 weeks lol. Then went 9-0 to end the year. Just horrible luck on who I played the early part of the season.

(12 team league)
QB - Romo
WR - Bowe
WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - Crabtree/Manningham/Julio Jones
RB - McCoy
RB - Beanie Wells
TE - Gronkowski
WR/RB - Michael Bush/ADP if healthy
K - Cundiff
DEF - Waiver each week

Traded Schaub and Fred Jackson for ADP in week 4. Guy had drafted Peyton...

#2 seed in 1 league, missed out on tie breaker in other.

#2 seed in 12 team keeper/cap league
QB - Eli Manning
RB - Lesean McCoy (I'm seeing a trend here)
RB - Marion Barber
WR - Mike Wallace
WR - Hakeem Nicks
WR - Jordy Nelson/Jeremy Maclin
TE - Jason Witten

I traded Gore for Nicks a few weeks ago. Then Fred Jackson's injury killed my RB. Hopefully Barber can keep it respectable for as my RB2. The first round bye in the playoffs will help also.

#4 seed. Starting Romo, MJD, Greene, Welker, Wallace, Gronkowski.

The guy who has most points in the league missed the playoffs (7th out of 10) because of head to head.

#1 seed with a first round bye in ESPN standard scoring

Tom Brady
Shonne Greene
Willis McGahee
Flex
Wes Welker
Calvin Johnson
Aaron Hernandez
Been goin strong with SF DEF but picked up Tennessee with matchups against IND and JAX coming up
Picked up Bironas with the same matchups

Have a hard time deciding on my flex. Got Colston/Stevie Johnson/Benjarvis Green-Ellis/Maurice Morris to decide between each week.

Got lucky earlier in the season and pulled off a trade sending Desean Jackson and Chris Johnson for McGahee and Megatron.

Hopefully that pot is mine in three weeks.

This is my leagues final standings. Bit of a log jam in 2nd place...lol! I'm the 5 seed.

QB -Stafford
WR -Victor Cruz
WR - Julio Jones
RB - Mike Tolbert
TE - Rob Gronkowski
W/R/T - Rashard Mendenhall
K - Janikowski
D -Jets

Bench
WR - Mike Williams (TB)
WR - Early Doucet
RB - Darren McFadden(doesn't look like he'll be back till the 18th)

I'll probably play Williams in the W/R/T and move Mendenhall back to the RB spot since it looks like Ryan Williams is back in the good graces of the SD coaching staff.

My team is falling apart. Finished 8-5 after starting 6-1, losing to the 2 worst teams in the league the last 2 weeks. 3 seed.

Favorable matchups for the 1st playoff game though.

Stafford (Vikings have given up most fantasy points to QBs)
Megatron (2nd most points allowed to receivers)
Dez Bryant (Giants have allowed 4th most fantasy points to WR)
DeMarco Murray (11th most fantasy points to RB)
Turner (Carolina has allowed most fantasy points to RB)
Ryan Matthews (Bills have allowed 6th most fantasy points to RB)
Aaron Hernandez

Baltimore D at home against Indy

Unfortunately my opponent has great match-ups too. I'm projected to win 113-111.5. It would be huge if Brady would throw a TD or 2 to Hernandez instead of Gronkowski this week since my opponent has him.

Playoff started in week 13. I was the 6th seed with 2nd highest points scored. Won the first playoff game. This week I go against the 2nd seed and highest point getter. I am projected to win big though, he had Fred Jackson without a viable replacement. My team in a 14th team league:

QB - Cam Newton
RB - Ray Rice
RB - DeMarco Murray
Flex - Ryan Mathews
WR - Steve Smith
WR - Laurent Robinson/Maclin when healthy
TE - Tony Gonzalez
D - Bears
K - Ryan Longwell

Miles Austin and Jeremy Maclin injuries have hurt. Also have Eli Manning on the bench and wasn't able to move him before trade deadline.

Two of my four teams are in with a third possibly making it. My best team is fizzling though after starting 9-1, I've lost 3 in a row. This past week it was by .58 points.

Some fool in one of my leagues who is out of playoff contention purged his roster. I'll find out tomorrow whether I got AJ Green or Boldin off waivers. Idiot.

In our league, if you are mathematically out off the playoffs, your roster is locked.

Big money league I'm #2 going into the last week with a decent chance to be #1 seed-- had 5th pick. I had Fred Jackson and Best, but I traded Best, Lance Moore, and Packers for Jones-Drew and Saints defense the week before a week or two before Jackson went to IR. Small money league I'm out of the playoffs. Had the 4th seed going into the last week and lost by 50 because of Rice, Greene, and Newton. Oh well, I had the last pick along with Charles and Andre.

Started off 8-2 and now im gonna limp in as the 4th-5th seed. Thanks mostly to steve smith(car) mike wallace and steven jackson not doing SHIT for the last month. Also have andre johnson but hes been hurt all year. AJ greene is the only guy that i can depend on. My team is STACKED but of course since they all feel like blowing at the same time ill probably lose in round 1.
