I'm beginning to think that those little notes they give for each player are completely useless. If I played my gut, my TE and Defense would have netted me 36 points instead of 4. Live and learn.

Yes to this - and the projections are a total JOKE - very rarely do they have any correlation to the actual outcome.
Since it is done solely on statistical analysis - no taking into account the injuries and such as far as I can tell.
Oh well - the first time you go with a hunch and go wrong you'll second guess lol -
I guess the best thing is a short memory and just do what you think each week.
Torment! FFL is TORMENT.
At least I don't have to worry much about actually winning anything.

Well fellow competitors.....with only two weeks left until the playoffs, it is getting do or die time for some teams.
First the wrap up
Saintly Brees falls to 6-5 on single 4 points from their RB, another disappointing day from Rivers, who has been on a slide at a bad time, and single digits from the rest of the team save only for a nice day from Matthews who took the focus this week from Maclin. The Beavers, at 5-6 with the win got 23 from Luck, 14 from Fleener and 10 from Mason the Cheesey K with 73 total Luck holds for the win. In the cruel stats department, The Brees had a zed on the bench, meaning they made all the right coaching moves. Ironically, Interceptler, the tosser for the Bears, had a better day than Luck, while sitting on the Beav's bench. Can't say I would ever put in Chokeler instead of Luck in any matchup this season.
Saintly Brees 58
Bucky Beavers 73
The Big Fig Newton put up 23 points after his coach gave him a pep talk after a 4 point first half. The Marshall was finally in town against the visiting Purple Horney Dudes from 'da Norte, putting up a nice 21 points, and the Niners D stiffened for 10 points against the Giants, giving the Steelers a nice foundation to tally up a mediocre 82 points, but enough for the win against the Mathers, who, with the exception of Wilson and Morris had low single digit production. It wasn't much better on the Mather's bench. The Steelers chose to not start two running backs when old man Jackson was called out at game time. If you want to make a run for the playoffs, you'll have to get some younger legs in the game than The two Elder Statesmen that the Steelers have been relying upon. Jordy got his, and Tate was not as golden this week as Megatron is showing who gets the looks in Day-Twa. The Mathers fall to 2 and 9, while the Steelers riding a two game winning streak go to 5 and 6.
Marshall Mathers 66
Stainless Steelers 82
The Dags came into MNF needing 31 points out of Antonio Brown, but it was not to be. Brown made it interesting, but fell short of the needed tally. With only 18 from Brady, a nice 16 from Forte, and As Mrs Brees pointed out earlier in the season, a K can have negative points...which happened for the Dags this week. It's a shame that the K in question has the same name as my favorite production knife factory....The Squad made his living on Jamaal this week, and Alshon was also in the giving spirit, giving 19 points on the day. The Squad was singing "Won't you come home Dan Bailey, Won't you come home" when he decided to get the sure zero instead of risking a negative number in his K-spot. The Cardinals D has been solid, and put up 9 points against Stafford and Megatron. The Squad advances to the most popular record in the league at 5-6, and the Dags fall to 7-4, keeping hopes alive for some of the rest of us.
Dakota Daggers 73
Todd Squad 88
In another game that had a MNF in play (well, the Badgers came into Monday night ahead by one point and in the seat for the win with the Hammer already tapping out on Sunday), Le'Veon put on a clinic with 27 points thus making the win even more definitive. The Hammers had an awesome day out of their bench D, with the Cheezers putting 25 points on the board against the hapless Colts, whose luck ran out a little on Sunday. Decent production from the Beast and Cobb and a nice day from Little RB Blue were about it for the Hammer this week, while The Badgers got a Discount Doublecheck from Rodgers, good points from Sanders and the Gronk. The Badgers don't care, but they had a Z from Bradshaw who was listed as out for the game.
Jackhammer 77
Honey Badgers 105
Finally - The Rabbit took it to the Jabs, who are suffering from a bad case of "where did my bronco's go??" over the last two weeks. Old Man Peyton was outscored this week by Cam Newton. Who would guess that one? Certainly not ESPN projections lol. It was not terrible, with decent production from his RBs, and Maclin with 15 even though he was covered all day and the looks went to Matthews for the most part. Orange (and navy) Julius went out and is listed as Q for the fins next week. That's not going to hurt the Jab's playoff hopes, but it does give the Steelers some hope. The Rabbits were definitely not ordinary, with the Rumblin' Cheeser Lacey putting up 22, Green solid with 18 and Kelvin heating up for 16. It was enough to hand the Jabs their second straight loss and pull the little Kentucky Rodents to a nice 7 and 4 record, while pushing the Jabs to 8 and 3.
Stoney's Jabronis 82
No Ordinary Rabbit 98
That leaves us with a little glimpse of the playoff picture.
The Jabs are in at 8-3 and the Dags and Rabbit look good at 7-4.
The Badgers and Brees are at 6-5, and then there is a three way battle of teams all at 5-6.
If any of the 5-6 teams wins out, and any of the 7-4 teams lose out, then there could be some looking to overall points scored to determine the playoff teams. And the Badgers and Brees aren't going to just lie down either.
It's going to be a competitive couple of weeks - this is where it all gets really funstrating. ;^)

Great game, Maggie!
Between the number of injuries we've had and Rivers deciding to play like an also-ran - I'll be lucky if I get another win this season...

The Jackhammer ran out of air this week putting up 76 points on a poor showing from Kaep, the Beast, Cobb. Looked like a good line-up on paper but "that's why they play the games". Boldin was good and the Phi K had a great night, but it only was enough for a loss. The Dags turned Beagles on us this week, but got decent scoring from Brady, Forte, Murray and the Bills D rocked and rolled after escaping from the snows, putting up 19 points against a miserable NYJ team.

The Mathers continue the skid, with Megatron not scoring well, the star off the team being Alfred Morris with 18 points. Don't feel bad, Mathers, the Steelers have only scored 4 more points than you on the season.... The Brees put up a Saintly 109 points with nice scoring across the board save only for Atlanta closing the Gates on the TE. 30 points out of Forsett on MNF sealed the deal.
Marshall Mathers 79
Saintly Brees 109
The Steelers were able to lose and take themselves out of contention for a playoff berth when the Jabs went off on Sunday evening for 80 points from the Bronco trifecta. It was close until the half, when Manning took over. The Steelers got good points from their QB pickup, but reallt never got anything else going. Shoulda had Tate in.
Stainless Steelers 83
Stoney's Jabronis 113
The Badgers suffered a similar fate against the Rabbit, who went off for 140 points on the backs of great showings from Brees, Lacy Mathews, Green, and Beckham Jr, who had one of the best grabs I have ever seen. The Badgers got 21 from Rogers, a decent showing from his WR crew, and 14 from the Eagles D, but only put 84 points on the board. He did have a 15 point TE on the bench, but it really was moot point.

No Ordinary Rabbit 140
Finally, in a matchup of two 5-6 teams, the Squad squeaked out a two point victory on a late-game touchdown from Graham, putting the Beavers out of the playoff hunt and setting the Squad up for a possible berth. Both teams put up decent points, and for most of the game it looked like the Beavers were in the driver's seat.

There will be 6 teams in the playoffs with two teams on a bye (the top team from each division).
In the Black division, the Jabs and Rabbit are in, with the Badgers a lock on the third spot, as the steelers can only hope to tie, and overall points would give the win to the Badgers.
In the Blue division, The Daggers are a lock on the Bye. The Squad has outscored the Brees on the season, so a tie would go to the Squad, but that would only be for pecking order, as the Beavers would only be able to tie the Squad and lose on overall points since the Squad has a 64 point season lead on the Beavers.
So, barring a miracle, the playoffs are pretty much set.
Good luck to the playoff teams - I will get the cash for the trophy knife out to Mr. K so he'll be ready for the winner.
It's been a fun season, frustrating for me, but fun nonetheless.

Congrats on the high score, Peter. And once again, thanks for the outstanding writeup, Andy.
Yeah, I picked up Rice yesterday sort of as an investment - just in case a team decides to sign him.
