December 5, 20222 yr i need to tampa bay d/st to outscore brady by at least 10 points. tough week...and probable end to my playoff hopes in my $$$ league. sucks because i had a high scoring week thanks to aj brown, cmc, & saquon...but my opponent had jacobs, tyreek hill, & the f'n browns' d/st who of course scored 3 td's.
December 5, 20222 yr I need Evans to score less than 2. Getting 1.4 pts out of Waddle and less than 5 from King Henry ruined my fantasy scoring output. I had a nice 6 game winning streak going.
December 6, 20222 yr Author Luckily I was already in the lead and I only needed Succop to avoid going negative to win. I secured a playoff spot, going for the division title and playoff bye next week. 1 Field Goal (3 points) and 2 XPs (+2) are bonus. It will help put me further ahead in any points tiebreakers.
December 12, 20222 yr Author I won! In the playoffs on a 4-win streak. I need James Connor to score 40 or less tonight to clinch a first-round bye.
December 26, 20222 yr Author I need Austin Ekeler + Keenan Allen to outscore Herbert by 26 points to make the finals. I’d be ahead rn if I had started DeVonta Smith, Waddle, and Fournette instead of St. Brown, Godwin, and Pollard. My bench strength is also my weakness!

January 2, 20232 yr Author I need Ja'Marr Chase to score 24 points or under (PPR) to win the championship. AJ Brown's 70-yard TD was 14 points against me. I also lost a Fournette TD on review. I sat DaVonta Smith again for St. Brown, Keenan Allen, and Godwin... I would have hoped St. Brown and Allen were better considering their teams won big. Danny Dimes was on my bench too. Anyway, I find myself ahead 24+ with only Chase left to play on my opponent's team.
January 4, 20232 yr 22 hours ago, toolg said: Well this is awkward. yeah...of course hamlin's health is what really matters. i also have the championship game of the $$ league i'm commish of...and one of the teams has/had burrow & mixon in his lineup, so....
January 4, 20232 yr Author Commish emailed the league and declared me champion. Chase had 0 catches up to the point of postponement in the first quarter. I was up to 80% win probability on ESPN. Once NFL decided they were not going to resume the game this week, commish declared it final. I don't know how I feel about it. It's not a big pot, more for bragging rights among friends than anything. So I'm content to wait and see how the game is resolved. I don't want to simply split, since I'm likely to end up ahead at the conclusion of the game whenever that may be. I'd rather wait and let it play out to the end. Following some other Fantasy boards, commissioners are scrambling what to do. Do you call it final where the score stands? Do you allow a late sub? Do you push to Week 18? It seems up to your league and the circumstances when the MNF game ended.

If not, I guess it stays as is. Can you manually adjust it in the ESPN app beyond that? I don't know.

January 4, 20232 yr I'm down in all 3 ESPN leagues in my championship matchups. The Team League here (projected to win), the EMB League (projected to lose, but by like 4 points or something), and then my work league where I was down 3 coming into Monday but I have Josh Allen. In all 3 leagues, my competitors had zero players remaining so their scores were all locked independent from the outcome. Even the work league (has a pot) I mentioned that I would agree to split (if BUF-CIN doesn't resume) even though Allen had 2 points before postponement and I've been outscoring the whole league and easily would have won outright otherwise. Just hard to call an end result if either team (especially the one trailing) had players in that matchup.

January 4, 20232 yr This work league only awards whole points when increments of 10 rushing/receiving yards have been eclipsed, or increments of 25 passing yards. Zero decimals, no bonuses for yardage or anything else, no PPR. Below is each week (other than current championship) of the season and team scores, mine circled (green is playoffs)

There are people in my money league that I know would be a-holes about it trying to weasel some money out of it.

I saw someone online say that their game ended at like 78%/22% projections, so they agreed to split the pot 78/22 (or whatever their actual numbers were). At 66points Hunt had I imagine the league was like 96%/4%
January 5, 20232 yr i can't remember the % before mnf...but there were 2 weeks in which burrow + mixon scored more than 66 pts. so it was possible but very unlikely.

I mean Mixon had like 50 by himself one week. This is like the Lopez brother posting about how he and Donovan Mitchell combined for 72 points
