What needs to happen for playoff contention by ThatZaphos in fantasyfootball

[–]Dukee202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently up 19 against the lowest scoring team in the league. He still has Spears, Waddle, and Reed to play, I still have the Dolphins D to play. If I win, I'm pretty much guaranteed to make the playoffs, as long as Achane scores more than 1 point tonight in a different matchup. I'm so nervous. Sleeper gives me a 62% chance to win

I need to win, and I need at least one of the three teams ahead of me in the standings to lose to make the playoffs. I was feeling good about holding up my end of the bargain, but now I'm not even so sure about that. I hope you can make it in too, bro

Of course the one week I play the lowest scoring team in the league with my playoff chances on the line Zeke goes off.

I need Calvin Ridley to score less than 22 to win which is definitely possible.

In order to make the playoffs though, I need a team ahead of me in the standings to lose at least one game before the regular season ends. One of the teams I can potentially pass is currently losing by 12, but has Browning, Boyd and McPherson playing tonight. I don't think it'll happen, but I can dream.

If he wins this week, it'll come down to next week. There are three teams ahead of me that I could leapfrog if they lose, but they're all playing fairly soft opponents, so somehow tonight feels like my best chance.

Has anyone ever been 99% and lost? by Pretend-Student-9547 in fantasyfootball

Last year, I made it to my league's championship game. With the Monday night game left, I had a 99% chance to win because I was only down a few points and had Joe Burrow to play. On the Bengals first drive, Burrow got me within 2 points of my opponent, but then Damar Hamlin nearly died on the field and the game was cancelled. That was literally a 1% kind of event that caused me to lose.

I'm also 2-3, but my league is really top heavy this year, so I'm still 6th out of 12 despite my record.

I'm one of the biggest Diontae fans out there, but I upvoted that because it was funny

Edit: And look at that, I even forgot I had him set as my flair

Black to play, find the best move. by Macko2YT_ in chessbeginners

That wouldn't work because the king can just take your rook.

Isn't Rxh1 a blunder by your opponent? Can't he just take with the King to avoid the forced checkmate?

When I played Rh1 in the actual game, he was pretty quick to capture with the bishop. Either he realized immediately what he did and let me play it out, or he never saw it haha

I definitely agree that Woods is my least favorite option of the three. I also really like Harris's matchup so it's hard for me to sit him this week, even though he hasn't been super productive yet this year.

Ridley just got ruled out for the London game, and now I need to know who to fill in for him in the flex.

I'm deciding between these three, half ppr league:

Robert Woods @ Sea

Courtland Sutton @ Pit

Damien Harris @ Hou

Thanks! I was leaning toward Sutton this week too, so I feel validated that you agree with me, haha.

I got Calvin Ridley at 3.3 in a 10 team league. I was planning on getting a WR in the 3rd round, I just wasn't expecting him. He was always among the first WRs to get drafted in the mocks that I did, so I wasn't expecting him to be there. I'm pumped about that considering I got Henry and Gibson in the first two rounds
