OFFICIAL: 2022 Fantasy Football Thread - DUST OFF YA FOOZEBALLS

[Pearl]

I took off work all this week which means I try and avoid my computer as much as possible, so heres a quick run down.

GUAC CUP SEMI FINALS

@Carson moves onto the big dance with a Monday Night Miracle against @Cassinonorth, what a shootout.


@UtahJoe completely BLOWS his bye week and completely STB against @Magic, these were the second and third lowest point totals of the week, wow.


UNCLE RICO BOWL

As I called it, but a few weeks late, j-j-j-j-j-jmanic and his two jets do not eclipse 5 points, leading to the downfall of this squad. It seems like Mahomies can only do too much to carry a squad.

Now, to this week:

I WANT MY MONEY BACK BOWL

@UtahJoe vs @Cassinonorth battle it out for who gets back their entry fee, a little somethin somethin to keep the last week alive for these two that were OH SO CLOSE.


Now, the rest of the people who missed the big shindig:

BEST OF THE REST TRIPLE THREAT
@Pearl - 126.66
@jShort - 117.98
@Patrick - 93.90

Ya boy came through and put up a solid outing despite Justin Fields not breaking the double digit mark, so I'm kinda happy about this.
And the real losers, who would have all beat @UtahJoe handly last week:

GOLDEN TURD BRACKET
@stb222 - 114.56
@Gene - 107.56
@Meatball Mia - 101.38

Mia has the inside track to being this seasons biggest loser, but can Kevy screw the pooch? Or will rookie Gene be awarded this fine trophy?

AND FOR ALL THE MARBLES, THE GUAC CUP CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH IS SET!


As it stands @Carson is a +20.24 according to Yahoo (they don't have Minshew updated yet), and only a +7.4 favorite according to Fantasy Pros,

Will Gardner freaking Minshew win Magic a cup? Will Gay make Carson jump for joy again and bring home the chips? TIME WILL TELL

@Magic, solicited by our grand exalted Commissioner, attempted to split the 1st and 2nd place prizes down the middle. I refused, called him names, and I yell again COLLUSION.

Man the F up, Magic.

I didnt watch a game so my take is probably worthless. DC has been an above avg QB but needs to have a system. His past couple years have actually been pretty good stat wise. I call this a scapegoat move and if this coach gets another year he'll be the first fired in season.

Defense couldnt hold lead, absolutely terrible play calling when in the lead, especially 4th qt.

Again i only read stats and watch highlights.

He's been pretty bad, I mean Mcdummy is a garbage coach and should also be fired, but Carr has had some REALLY bad games considering he has the best WR and the arguably the best RB in football.

They bench Carr and Stidham (a bellicheck reject who was TERRIBLE in NE) went out there and put up 500 yards on the best defense in football.....

Adams + Jacobs with Carr vs the crap ass 2022 Steelers....7 pts
Adams + Jacobs with Stidham vs the best defense in football, 45pts

Thats enough of Derek Carr...I just hope the Jets stay the hell away from him.

Giants need to lock up Jones. They can do much, much, much worse than him. The FA options are dumpster fires.

And they need to teach him to stop taking unneeded hits. He looks dumb already without the CTE.

@Magic

DOWN TO THE WIRE, BROSKI! You need a shootout tonight with a 60+ point total or you'll be making diapers out of your old MTBNJ jerseys.

Magic needs Diggs and Chase to combine for 40 points, if you needed two big games from two players, those are the two you’d want it to be!

I’ll try and stay awake to watch but likely no lol

@utah looks like he’s a shoe-in to get his money back in the third place game

 

[Cassinonorth]

And they need to teach him to stop taking unneeded hits. He looks dumb already without the CTE.

Yeah, absolutely. I think he may be overcompensating right now trying to prove he's the man. He already has enough injury history and it's pretty clear this team without him would be a disaster.

Ya, and imo they should rest everyone vs the eagles... Rest dabol and John Mara too for good measure

I mean I can't kill DJ for running all over when his best WR is..?? Isiah hodges? Richie James? Slayton? I still can't believe dabol got this crew into the playoffs, I'm impressed

Should be a shootout tonight... Which means we'll probably be at 10-6 with 5 min to go

Man, not the Monday Night Football game anyone wanted to see, as I hoped I would be sending winnings out this morning... obviously need to see what the NFL does in this horrible situation, but we will default to whatever Yahoo does.

Me doing some math homework:

BEST OF THE REST TRIPLE THREAT
1) @Pearl - 126.66 + 106.60 = 233.26
2) @jShort - 117.98 + 82.28 = 200.26
3) @Patrick - 93.90 + 92.28 = 186.18


GOLDEN TURD BRACKET
@stb222 - 114.56 + 52.88 = 167.44 (incomplete)
@Gene - 107.56 + 90.44 = 198
@Meatball Mia - 101.38 + 117.42 = 218.80 (incomplete)

Ya that was pretty crazy, cant say I have ever seen anything like that during a football game.

 

[Cassinonorth]

Good luck sorting this out commish

 

[Pearl]

going to default with whatever yahoo says...

 

[Jeremy]

So who has the #1 seed in the AFC? The 12-3 Bills, or the 13-3 Chiefs? If they both win or loser next week, it’ll be interesting.

 

[Carson]

Saw this in DC today.

Have all these participation trophy awards been a thing for a while? I must have not put too much attention last year…

Very sad about Hamlin, but glad the NFL had equipment available within seconds to bring him back to life. The incident reminded me of the 1990 Loyola men’s basketball team player, Hank Gathers. 32 years ago the defibrillator technology wasn’t nearly a thing.

going to default with whatever yahoo says...

I think you should just split the pot down the middle like @Carson wanted to
