It's do or die time in Fantasy Football (and actually 'already dead' time for some) -- How's everyone doing in their FF leagues?

 

In a 10-team PPR league that greatly values length of TDs, I'm 6-4 and in a 3-way tie for first place (2 division format, tied for third best record overall so I'm fortunate to be in the weaker division).

 

In a 14-team league (traditional scoring, but return yards/TDs also count), I just took over sole possession of first place at 7-3.

 

Good luck to everyone the rest of the way.

I'm 5-5 in an 8-team league where four make the playoffs. I'm in 4th, one game up on two teams. But I'm also way ahead of them in points, so I'm basically two games up.

 

Four weeks to go until the playoffs. I play the 3rd place team, then the three below me. I'm feeling pretty good about my chances.

 

But I need either Burress or Edwards to stop screwing around and catch some TDs.

I'm in the same boat as you with Edwards in one of my leagues. 1 catch for 15 yards just isn't cutting it. I hate benching him, because you know he could go off in any given game.... I really hope they expand the playbook with Quinn and Braylon starts to get more involved.

8-2, in first place of my keeper league. drafting philip rivers, deangelo williams and michael turner ended up being a pretty good idea. might have to start thinking about keeping rivers over manning this year.

4-6 in the NSBB league

 

8-2- drafted Rodgers, Calvin Johnson, and Roddy White at great values. picked up steve slaton. Traded LT and Braylon Edwards (preseason) for Turner, Jackson, and Roddy White.

 

7-3

I'm murdering my friends in an 8 team league. I picked up Kurt Warner and Steve Slaton. I stole Matt Forte in the draft and traded him with Marshawn Lynch for AP. I drafted Brandon Jacobs in the fifth round because my friends were worried about his health. I also sold high on Lee Evans and traded him for Roddy White. I should probably get smarter friends.

 

5-5 in the NSBB league. Chad Pennington has been pretty good for me.

5-5 in one league and in 7th place after starting out 5-0.

 

6-4 in the NSBB league and in 5th place.

 

Very bad running back situations in both leagues, but with hope of improving down the stretch. As a result of trades I now have Reggie Bush and Steven Jackson in one league (both of whom will hopefully be back within the next week or two) and Marion Barber and Chris Johnson in the NSBB league. I had the last pick in the first round in both leagues, so by the time I drafter the top RBs were already taken. Fortunately I had some depth at other positions and was able to trade.

6-4 in one keeper league (no money). Started 5-0. I blame Greg Jennings for sucking and Willie Parker for falling off the face of the Earth.

 

7-3 in one of my money leagues (PPR league). Started 6-0. Lost 3 straight. Won this week. Injuries started mounting when bye weeks started for my players.

 

16-4 in my big money keeper league (PPR league). Play 2 games/week. Lead the league in scoring by 180+ points (2 games so scores multiplied by 2). 2 words. ANQUAN BOLDIN!

 

Last year, I won both the money leagues. About $400 total. This year, I stand to win over $800 w/ a trophy! The 16-4 league is at work and I don't know if I'll be invited back! I won the league last year. Won the baseball league last year. And dominated the baseball league all regular season (best record and most points by far) only to lose by 3 points in the championship game. Oh, I'm winning the NBA league so far too.

5-5 in my league, which is all sorts of complicated to explain.

 

It seems like every week one of my starters gets injured early in the game, and the guy who i benched in favor of him (usually because they've been on a cold streak) goes and scores a crap ton of points.

 

I won my game this week by 1.5 points. I was lucky. To make matters worse, my record in games I could've won and would've lost is 5-2. So my record, for all intents and purposes, could be nearly flawless right now if I started certain players in certain weeks

Yeah, but will that $800 offset not getting the bonus at work when you don't get any work done? ;)

I'm 8-2, first place in the league. I would be 9-1 if I hadn't started Aaron Rogers, Braylon Edwards, and Lee Evans all last week.

 

Being in first kind of sucks though...it doesn't help you win the playoffs, you lose all of the late season waiver claims if anyone else wants the same guys, and no one will do any trades with you. I fleeced a couple of other guys (who are 2nd and 3rd in our league right now) earlier in the season. So now, even if I propose a trade where the other guy is getting more value than me, he either thinks that I must know something he doesn't and he won't trade with me, or he'll spite himself just to prevent me from getting better.

It amazes me how many dumb trade offers I get with a team that is far ahead of the rest of the league. Dude offered me Coles and Hester for Boldin. Boldin has more points than both combined and missed 3 games including his bye. Plus, I couldn't even start both of those WRs, unless I benched someone better.

 

Should be common sense that the best team isn't going to trade their primary reason for being the best team.

7-3 and tied for 2nd in league one. 14 team league with IDP. Started 1-2 and have won 4 straight.

 

6-4 and tied for 2nd in league two. 10 team league. Started 3-0 until Parker and Addai started getting hurt.

5-5 in a 3 way tie for 4th out of ten teams. I own the tiebreaker since I have the most points. I play the number 1 team this week who's at 7-2-1 and i'm currently up 13-0 thanks to Gostkowski.

League 1: 10-1 with 3 victories I didn't deserve because the other guy was awful that week. I was bailed out the last 2 Mondays by Warner and Lynch to pull of 5 and 1 point wins.

 

League 2: 7-4 with 2 losses when I was in the top 3 in points of a 10 team league. I'm #2 in points overall and everything seems to be falling into place, assuming my receivers can perform decently and Addai remembers he was a 1st round pick.
