Fantasy Football

i lost in a survivor pool picking the browns yesterday.  the picks lock when the first game of the week starts so i couldn't do anything when i found out all the browns receivers were out.  sucks to lose that way, it was the longest i ever made it in one of these pools.  

I bitched about this in the box last night, but I'll recap my playoff performance here because I'm procrastinating...

I expected to have the 6 seed, but snuck into 5th on a total points tie-breaker. I was not happy about this, because the 3rd place team suuuuuuucks and I really wanted to play him instead of the 4th place team (who has Mahomes and Derrick Henry). Turns out I was right to be upset about this seeding, as I lost 148.12-147.74. The 3-6 match, FWIW, was won 113.6-96.78 by the #6 seed.

I was in a big hole after Henry's monster day on Sunday. My opponent happens to be a Titans fan, so he was sending me Henry gifs all day to rub it in. I kept it within striking distance though, needing 24.7 points out of Chubb last night to secure the W. Those 2 first-half TDs had me feeling pretty prettayyyyy good, but alas... The game turned into a shootout, Kareem Hunt got most of the second half RB workload, and Chubb fell exactly 4 yards short of what I needed. It was fun to root for Hunt to get tackled at the 1 on that last TD to see if Chubb would come in for the goal-line carry, and then to hang on the slim hope of Justin Tucker actually missing a FG to see if Chubb could get me those last few yards in OT.

Fantasy football is fun. We have fun.

A dude I used to play fantasy football with runs a playoff league every year.  It's basically a "survivor" format, where you make a lineup for every round of the playoffs but can only use each player once.  Full rules are here.  I didn't play last year, but it's been pretty fun in the past and I have a few bucks from my regular season winnings so I'm jumping back in.  No idea how many people will end up playing, but it's an open invite to anyone who wants to join.  $50 buy-in, payable by Paypal/Venmo before the first game kicks off or else your team is removed from the league.  Prizes for the top 3 finishers, and possibly for weekly high scores depending on how many people join.  PM if you want to play, and I'll share the sign-up link and payment info.
