Steve, I agree, it was a lot of fun this year. I must admit though, I was surprised to see you insert Johnny Football over Tannehill, but I can certainly see your thinking there. He was kind of a boom or bust play.
As for you Brendan, looks like the report card was right. They had us at one & two and here we are. I must say though, if my team was fully healthy, I would probably be the underdog. Now with Julio Jones & Kennan Allen injured and Hopkins has no QB to throw him the ball, I don't know what I'm going to do this week?
Anyway, it's been a blast & I would like to thank you all for playing & I hope we have 3 leagues next year.
I definitely out smarted myself with the Johnny Football move. I was in pretty good shape as I had assembled a team with no great QB but good depth at WR and RB. At one point I thought I was strongly positioned as I had Dez and Jeffery as my top 2 WRa and I had stashed Josh Gordon for the entire season to play my flex position (my other WR were Decker and Lafell). I had Gronk for my TE. I figured in the PPR league I was at a big advantage with 3 stud WR and a top 1-2 TE every week. I figured I would only have to start 2 RB's each week. And with Ahmad Bradshaw, Ronnie Hillman, Alfred Morris and a couple other streaming RB options I figured I could find two a week to keep me afloat. My QB's were Carson Palmer (who was awesome when healthy for fantasy purposes) and Tannehill. I felt well positioned heading into the stretch run and then my top 2 RB's and number 1 QB all went down. Of course with you missing Julio Jones this week I can't complain about injuries hurting my team. Good luck next week. Anything can happen but I think You have an uphill fight. Brendan had the strongest team from start to finish this year and would be a deserving champion. Of course, you have reeled off something like 12 straight wins so you are more than deserving to be champion as well. Good luck to both of you and may the best team win. Hopefully you both have great weeks and league B will find the overall bonus championship.
I'll update the thread as games are played in League A's championship game starting with the Thursday night tilt although I'm not thinking many guys are starting from that matchup.
Good luck to Scott, Brendan, and Mike during championship week!!!

Quick update on B championship. I don't want to jinx anything but congrats to Mike (cocoabeachdodgers$) as he has the lead on Brendan (TeamUSSR) in the championship game. The score is 125.58 to 68.06 with cocoabeachdodger$ final and TeamUSSR with D. Thomas WR and C. Barth PK still to go.
In the consolation game both teams are final with my team beating Fusions 132.04 to 107.58.
Congrats to the champions and all those who finished in the money. Big thanks to the commissioners Mike and Brendan. Hope to play again next season.
<< <i>Had fun playing. Looking forward to next year >>
I'm already preparing my scouting reports for next year.
Looks like League A will be crowned the ultimate CU Champions. I had a back and forth game today with Scott, but it isn't over until the fat lady sings. I know the pictures will be coming soon.
In League A, the battle for 3rd place is still undecided but it looks like Matt's Hammered has the edge going into Monday night.
In League B, congratulations to Steve who's Rad Team beat the Fusions (not sure who on CU this is so I apologize for not including your name) by a final score of 132.04 to 107.58.

My team, Team USSR decided to crap the bed this weekend lead by Andrew Luck's Pro Bowl performance today. Unless Bebe and Barf can combine for the best WR/K week ever in Fantasy Mike will be taking down League B with 125.58 points.
All teams in league A had five losses except mine at 12-1 but after putting up a ton of points while I had the first round bye, I put up my two lowest scores the last two weeks by a mile lead by Andrew Luck and Jamaal Charles. 12-1 and 0-2 and thus I earned 4th place........ At least I won the Super Bowl in my other league and went back-to-back in a fourteen team league by winning my last ten games straight. I also squeaked into the playoffs as a 6th seed in another league and it looks like I may pull it off. Pretty strange overall but at least I will be celebrating to some degree.

Way to go & congrats to everybody that came in the money, also to everybody that enjoyed playing. It was a lot of fun & of course, a lot of factors are involved in winning these leagues. Some luck, some skill but I want to say that I can not overstate the importance of drafting with the idea of depth at the RB & WR positions. I rarely draft a QB or TE before the 6th round and sometimes much later. Let's start the count down to next year and hopefully we will have at least 3 leagues.
Despite some of the comments yesterday suggesting it was all but over, Porkins did pull out the win last night in crazy fashion 148.54 to CPA Mike's 146.94. AJ Green let down CPA Mike by getting hit and injured and pulling up with a 0 and Peyton's 4 INTs were huge factors in the loss. Not only did all of that have to happen, but Denver's Defense came up with a TD, INT and fumble recovery to spur the comeback. What is pretty crazy is that Porkins would have went back -4 points in points allowed but since it was the Offense that gave up the TD and not the Defense it was enough for Porkins to win. I had no dog in the fight, but just happy to see how close our championship was playing out over the course of the evening after seventeen weeks of fun. Porkins has had one of the top two teams the last two years during the regular season so he had some karma due his way apparently

OMG!! I did not even check the scoreboard to see that this had happened until you posted this. I am in 10+ fantasy leagues each year and was busy keeping track of the ones that I thought I had a chance.
I have never felt so sheepish about putting up a "W." Wow, so sorry that happened, Mike.

I was right about that fat lady, damn her and Andy f'n Dalton. I knew right away (and my wife can attest to it, LOL) on that pick-6 with A.J. Green getting exposed on that high throw from Andy Dalton, I was in big trouble. For those that watched the game, the kicker was A.J. Green was open later in the game and Andy Dalton threw it high again on him.
Congrats again to Scott (Porkins) on a hard earned victory to claim the overall CU Fantasy Football title. I'd also like to congratulate Mike (CocaBeachDodgers) on his League B championship!!!
Thanks to everyone for making it a fun year this season and looking forward to next year.

Winnings for League B have all been sent out other than for 4th place. Still waiting on the info to send this payment.
I love how PP is messing with me when it comes to gift payments already. I have to now include first name, last name and the country of residence for it to send them out. So far I have paid out around $2k for leagues I ran and PP is probably close to blocking my account all together from gift payments.
