    With Hooper now injured, every single draft selection from rounds 1-7 in both my leagues have now been injured, minus one: Michael Thomas who had his HOF QB miss a handful of games.

    Yep, I've had one game under 125 points and average closer to 140 points a game. We're pretty much tied for first in points, I think I'm up by 2. You're 7-3 and I'm 4-6. I've had over 1400 points scored against me and the gap between my points against and the 2nd most points against is pretty wide. I think the last time I won this league was 2012. I should retire.

    I won the first two BG pick-um leagues we ever had and retired right after. Couldn’t be touched. Always go out the best!

    Potentially lost Lockett in 5 out of 6 of my leagues. He was my sleeper pick this year to do amazing things, more than projected. Super sad I have to find a replacement now when all my teams are playoff bound.

    Since week 4 your point totals rank as follows: 7th (and you won), 5th, 6th, 3rd, 7th, 2nd, 6th.

    It's mathematically unlucky but not nearly to the extent you think it is saying it every week lol

    So I finished in the top half in points in 5 of the last 6 and lost all 6. It's like losing a coin flip 6 times in a row, but with better than 50/50 (I had 7.2/12 odds on average over that stretch). That's a significant extent. Like, really significant statistically. 0.4% significant, I would win at least one game 99.6% of the time.

    We're an 11 team league with a ghost playing those weeks with injured players and multiple people on BYE.

    You finished in the top half 3 out of 7.

    The ghost in 3rd place in record and total points? I'm not sure you know how stats work. Even taking your scenario at face value, and discounting the ghost in 3rd place because...no reason...math works very nearly the same at less than a percent.

    Bruh you're really advocating for beating a ghost team to turn your soft 6th place finishes into "top half" of the league so you can use a bullshit coin flip analogy lmao. Let it go. You had two "hard luck" losses where you scored 3rd and 2nd.. and in both those instances the winning points were on your bench.

    You and the ghost actually have a lot in common now that I think about it. You both had someone else draft for you. You both stockpiled a shit ton of points in the first few weeks before anyone manages their roster. You both took nose dives as the season went on due to poor roster management. Only difference I can see is that the ghost lost last week with the #3 point total and hasn't shown up to cry about it yet.

    Court Sutton

    Currently, going Williams.

    The fuck is that question Sutton gets a billion targets every week. KC RBs are all boom or bust

    Maybe I'm cray

    McCoy has been a healthy scratch and Damian has had a solid 2 weeks in PPR. Sutton had a guy throwing to him in his 2nd ever NFL game @ MINN, where MINN should have dominated and by some miracle did not.
