MoFo Fantasy Football - 2024 Season

I should've stuck with my initial instinct and left JSN on the bench, but instead I plugged him into my starting lineup shortly before kickoff and he proceeded to post his 3rd lowest total of the season. Terry McLaurin's appearance on the injury report forced my hand a bit. If I didn't play JSN last night and McLaurin's ankle ailment gave him a questionable tag, Devonta Smith (with Kenny Pickett as his QB) would've been my only pivot, so I decided to play it safe. Besides, JSN has been on a tear the last two months, averaging 17.2 points (second only to Chase), so I thought I was probably foolish not to start him. I wish now that I had just stuck with Sutton as I'd originally planned, especially with McLaurin now cleared to play. Any time I make a last-second change it seems to backfire more often than not.

JSN's poor night has kept the door open, and I feel like Yahoo is being too conservative with your projections. Bucky Irving just scored 26 points against Carolina four weeks ago. Jordan Love had 36 against Minnesota earlier this year, while Jayden Reed had 23 that game and Jacobs only 9.8 (his second-lowest total of the season). I don't expect that GB/MIN to play out the same way this week, but if it does, I'm in trouble. I'm hopeful that Patrick Surtain can at least prevent Chase from having a ceiling game, but I'm terrified of Gibbs. He's scary when splitting the workload with Montgomery. Now he's got the backfield to himself. Even if I'm up 30 going into MNF, I won't feel safe.

Meh. Its probably over.

It is with that attitude!

I said that Trey McBride was due for a TD, and he finally got one (after first setting a record for most receptions to start a season without a TD). His big night could've been even bigger, though, if he had gotten his head around in time to catch the go-ahead TD near the end of the game. Instead the ball deflected off his helmet and into the hands of a Rams DB. That was a 12-point swing in our match-up, as it netted you 2 points for the INT, whereas if McBride had caught that pass, that would've been 7 points for him and it would've docked your defense 3 points. Probably won't matter, but something to keep in mind if our projections narrow.

And so it has come full circle lol! Ive seen Yoda countless times knowing he has the season won come in and sprinkle hope-posts explaining how he could still be beaten. Maybe hes just voicing his fears, but we know weve been run over by a truck already. If it stalls afterward thats no matter. Too bad you dont do Fantasy Baseball Cap because we could use more experts. Much respect for what you pulled off this year. The top reason I could see why this time you won wasnt because of a player but you just making alot less mistakes. Thats a Yoda theme too.

It’s Captain Spaulding’s world, and we’re just playing fantasy football in it.

Basically either Love and Reed hook up for 2 TDS or it's over. We will see.

Brutal. Congrats Captain!

Yeah, geez, Green Bay couldn't do anything on offense. Very surprising.

Congrats Cap.

Congrats on another one Cap! See you next year.

Congratulations. You even did the writeup on your competition publicly beforehand in the first post.
Sigh. I thought I had a contenda'

Uh, one question. Rauld has Jahmyr Gibbs going tomorrow. Is he capable of 53 points?
Hmm, we may have jinxed Spaulding....

Maybe he will go Alvin Kamara on Spaulding

Now its official. CONGRATULATIONS to Captain Spaulding. Youre a good egg Cap.

Congrats Spaulding. No one had ever won it twice in a row.
You now join Yoda as having won it more than twice.
You are now officially The Alabama of our Mofo Fantasy league.

The Cap does it again! I knew I should have taken Taylor instead of Brown...

Congrats Spaulding!

Meanwhile, looks like my inattentive play of Mayfield turned out OK this week!

I hate Mayfield.

I didn't realize that I was the first to repeat. Pretty cool.

Jonathan Taylor got off to a hot start the first month of the season, but after that he was a relative disappointment. He saved his best for when it mattered most, combining for 66.4 the last two weeks. For him to be my "FLEX" felt like a cheat code. I can't remember all my specific rosters from years past, but I doubt I've ever had a RB trio as formidable as Henry, Jacobs and Taylor.

Congratulations Captain to you and your Merry Band of ****ing Clowns...again. I'm sure that all your fans back home on the Island of Misfit Toys will throw you an epic parade.


Your definitely in the upper echelon of Fantasy Football players that I have ever gone up against. I'd like to say that I'll be gunning for you next year but this 1-13 season was way more relaxing than expected. I may have found a home at this end of the standings.

It's funny that you posted that .GIF because I've been trying to talk @Yoda into sending me a group of prostitutes dressed as cheerleaders in lieu of a physical trophy as my reward for winning the league but he's all worried about something called "sex trafficking."
