Bell is really helping me out bearing in mind Andrew Luck is doing his best to ruin my playoff chances.

badmanreturns · 2016-12-11T20:22:53.768Z

what’s the highest points one player has recorded in a game this season? Bell is unstoppable right now, 41.90 with a full quarter to go

Aggpass · 2016-12-11T20:36:50.025Z

had this thought myself, Bell’s already the best standard scoring (Zeke in week 10 got 39 or so), Julio Jones got 48 in PPR when he had his monster day, Bell’s currently got 46 or so

Aggpass · 2016-12-12T09:20:27.625Z

If lovely lovely Le’Veon Bell wasn’t so lovely I’d be murdering Russel Wilson atm.

Ridiculously tight for the last relegation spot between the pigeons and steamers. by my calculations, assuming Tom Brady scores over 1.2 points to beat the pigeons, the steamers will stay up by 19.2 (+ Mike Wallace tonight) points scored

Barring a Tom Brady car accident, the Pigeons are down. Sunk by a combination of a Donte Moncrief goose egg and the Atlanta D capitalising on Jared Goff being an NFL quarterback.

Aggpass · 2016-12-12T09:22:23.055Z

I’m also going to finish the regular season with the longest winning streak in the league which, as we all know, is the real quiz

hip_young_gunslinger · 2016-12-12T09:30:49.667Z

God damn, Le’Veon Bell. I thought I was up against a strong team, but if you stripped out his ridiculous performance, it was’t that bad. Still some stinkers on my team though. Well played, GTW.

The_Excession · 2016-12-12T09:40:28.518Z

I don’t know how Devonta Freeman managed to score less than 2 points, without getting hurt, while the Falcons racked up 42, but I’m very glad he did. Means I’ll be defending the keeper league title in the playoffs as long as Malcolm Mitchell doesn’t fumble three times and score me -5 or worse. It’s stupidly risk averse to take him out though. Right?

Aggpass · 2016-12-12T09:55:57.028Z

Can you change the normal league into a keeper league please, it’s the only fair thing to do

The_Excession · 2016-12-12T10:38:55.369Z

@Aggpass and LeVeon, sitting in a tree…

kenako · 2016-12-12T10:52:18.193Z

First three picks next year are (at the moment) so far ahead of the rest of the field, especially in standard. Probably go Bell, Elliot, Johnson, mainly due to backup potential/situation.

I’m going to end up about 30 points down on my playoff oppo, he has Bell. First leg at least.

In DiS news - Dakdown salute you, Jared Goff, and 29 yards of passing will do it from Brady cue Belichik shenanigans with Blount taking endless wildcat snaps

Steved · 2016-12-12T20:44:50.715Z

In a week in which anything but ignominious failure would have been enough to qualify for the division 1 playoffs, the Carnage rallied themselves and proceed to score a combined TWENTY THREE POINTS. Reliable starters Derek Carr (4.98), Matt Forte (0.80) and Dez Bryant (-1.00!!!) really pulled out the stops this week. Barring a Malcolm Mitchell miracle the party’s over for the Carnage.

TWENTY THREE POINTS.

Aggpass · 2016-12-12T20:53:50.304Z

Ooft, not trying to rub it in or anything but sweet lovely Le’Veon had outscored your team after about 17 minutes

Steved · 2016-12-12T21:00:10.692Z

The probability of a team of starters with reasonable matchups scoring this badly is essentially zero. Anything above about 60 points would have secured a play-off spot, and my team goes and does this.

The_Excession · 2016-12-12T23:24:32.646Z

Can’t believe I missed that. That… well it’s impossible. Three misfortunes, that’s possible. Seven misfortunes, there’s an outside chance. Your entire team? Impossible. Go back and do it again.

colonel_getafe · 2016-12-13T08:46:16.143Z

I would feel sorry for you but the Pigeons are down and I’m an emotionless husk now.

The_Excession · 2016-12-13T09:11:03.574Z

The_Excession:

So this has gone down in my other league this week, no trade deadline obviously. One team has traded Prescott, Green and Pryor for Beckham, Hilton and Ajayi. Both teams 7-6, a win will more or less guarantee playoffs.

Any thoughts?

Anyone remember this? Well it all got sorted out amicably enough, and the trade was cancelled. The team “losing” this trade ended up winning this week and getting in the playoffs. The “winning” team lost by 0.18, on the last run of the last game of the last weekend of the regular season, on 4th down, and missed the playoffs.

Fantasy.

kenako · 2016-12-13T10:53:42.190Z

Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

kenako · 2016-12-13T10:56:34.868Z

SO Div 1 comes down to the nigh on unstoppable Helu vs Snatch Rule, who sneak in at the last, and crowd favourite Dakdown against @hip_young_gunslinger 's Wapping Dockers, in the newly christened Bench Bowl, where our benches are pretty much guaranteed to outscore our starters, no matter what we do.

I take it only the 4 teams in the playoffs are in for waiver claims?

Aggpass · 2016-12-13T10:59:15.743Z

Depends, I’m up for taking the consolation playoff seriously, in order to crown my miracle second half of the season, but won’t bother if @Steved @The_Excession and @brusma aren’t bothering
