okay everyone, what is your status? Two more games to go and what do you need to have happen to pull out a win?
I am ahead by 37 points and my opponent has Tyreek Hill. It is a half PPR league.
I almost feel like he has a shot because Tyreek can easily score 38 points.
What is your situation?
I’m up by 86 points. He has Allen and I have Henry.
Need to win to stay in the playoff hunt
I was 'brilliant' to grab JimmyG for RWilson's bye. Also got a TD from JCook and DCook who had a rough day. After that Chark & Gallup carried the load. Pit D finally had a bad showing but my opponent had Car so that helped. Pit also has a cake schedule basically thru the FF SB
I beat 3rd place so got sole possession of 2nd. I play #1 next week, winning this week was huge for that reason too. Tho he's losing randomly to 9th this week, he'll be a tough out given almost everyone on his team scores every week
I'm hoping to grab IND RB Williams w/ Cook's bye next week and DFreeman out. I'm still thinking I might drop JuJu, tho I can wait til after waivers to hear about his condition. Still I feel like Slayton or DJohnson / JWashington among others might be better (Deebo got grabbed but he was on that list), if not a decent TE stash like Fant
Right now I’m down by 7 points and I have Mahomes and Kelce going tomorrow while my opponent has Tyreek Hill and Melvin Gordon III. Non-ppr league, 20 passing yards per point and 4 points per pass TD, 10 receiving/rushing yards per point and 6 points per rush/rec TD.
Yahoo gives me a 64% chance to win right now, which is fine, but I’m still just so pissed at Robert Woods man. I made literally every correct decision this week to give myself a chance to win in terms of waiver wire adds and start/sit dilemmas... up until the big fat ZERO next to Woods’s name tonight. Wtf.

That is always the risk with late games. It sucks but you also need to know your league. Yahoo has a setting where everything locks at 1 o'clock so that is probably what happened. It is stupid. In the past when there was an early Sunday game in London and a player had a big game you could pick him up during the game because it was before 1. Stupid but if those are the rules everybody plays by then it is at least fair.
So moving forward I have Rudolph and Hollister. Not optimal but I had a rough year in this league with TEs. I had Hunter Henry and dropped him after he got hurt. Then I had Dissley and he went on IR.

And I have no idea why but I couldn’t add anyone in the last hour before the game... I thought previously I’d seen in my league I could add people last minute on sundays but maybe I was imagining that or it was only earlier in the season, but it’s complete bullshit imo that I saw Woods’s healthy scratch and literally there was nothing I could do about it at that point in the day. It sucks too because I NEED the win this weekend to keep my playoff hopes alive and this one is going to come right down to the wire tomorrow. Ugh.

Ah, okay. Thanks for pointing that out about 1 PM. I'll keep that in mind going forward.
The thing is: in this case even if I knew my league, it wouldn't have helped me here considering I could not have foreseen this happening with Woods out of nowhere. You could say I should have had Josh Reynolds added before 1 PM just in case, but then you could say that about any one of my roster spots, and there aren't enough bench spots to go around for all that. Usually at least if a player is questionable you can think to add his replacement before 1 PM, but Woods wasn't even questionable.
Luckily I ended up winning anyway. Huge coincidence: I had Woods in my WR1 slot due to byes/injuries, and my opponent had Tyreek Hill in his WR1 slot, so when Hill went out in the 1st drive of the game, he put up a big fat zero as well! So that all evened out in the end.
Outcome was very much in doubt for most of the game with Mahomes playing poorly to start and MGIII having a nice 1st half, but then the TD pass Mahomes-Kelce clinched it for me!
