I really like Mason this week - NYG has been an awful run DEF. Starting him in two championships, no question about it.

Randle is probably a good play if Murray is out. The offensive line is ailing though. Sucks for Murray owners (I don't own him in any, thankfully) because it's the worst possible situation for championship week. Not to mention it's a later game so options becomes slim:

1) He has a normal Murray game
2) Not very effective, has ball handling problems
3) After live action, gets pulled early
4) Inactive, doesn't play at all

If he's out and you play Randle, he probably is going to be seeing a pretty big timeshare, maybe 70/30 with Dunbar. At least you have the option, many owners do not for that slot.

Also picked up Joseph Randle in case Murray is out for DAL but it seems like he's going to try and play.


I go with Tre Mason. Blount is hurting and sharing carried. Morris is a gamble because if Philly gets up on them early, he will lose carries.


I am still wondering about Rivers or Flacco

I picked up Randle in case Murray doesn't play and Harry Douglas in case Julio Jones doesn't play. If they both play it comes down to Josh Gordon or Andre Williams.

I didn't realize TY Hilton's status was so up in the air. That's going to hurt me if he can't go.

I am going against a guy who has Manning, Emmanuel Sanders, and TY.

I have been spending all week picking up and dropping flex players and quarterbacks so that he can't pick them up until their games are over.

I have Brock in case Manning doesn't go. This may scare him into playing another QB too.

I now have Tannehill, Flacco, and McCown to force his hand. All that is left out there is Manziel, Orton, Carr, and Bridgewater.

I also have Welker, in case Sanders can't go. Again, this may force him to play a lesser player tomorrow or hold out and get 0 points.

Need 2 (PPR) - Wallace/Douglas/Moncrief

Julio is active which puts Douglas down a bit and a bit unsure about Hilton afternoon start if I put in Moncrief.

Well, that was my worst decision ever when it comes to Fantasy Football. I played Flacco with Rivers/Tannehill on the bench.

OUCH!

C'mon Beckham, Dez, Andre Williams, and Lynch

Need a huge lead before tomorrow where I face Manning, Sanders, CJ Anderson

Andrew Luck absolutely destroyed my championship hopes singlehandedly.

Well, I was kicking myself all year for not drafting Luck earlier. He did exactly like Manning last year.

I won a title unless the Broncos score 50+ points real points (118 fantasy) all by Manning, Sanders, and CJ Anderson....with Julius Thomas being shut out.

So I'm up by 72 and he's done. I still have 2 players tonight. Think I'm just going to bench them and call it a year. Feels good. $200 and the first name engraved in a new trophy.

I say it every year, but we need a $ realgm league for bragging rights. We have a bunch of competitive managers, I think it'd be fun.

Destroyed my opponent in the championship game by 60. Wasn't expecting that since he has the ridiculous RB combo of Bell/Forte. Both of those guys had solid games, but man, the rest of his team really stunk it up. Stafford, Tucker, Rams defense, and Olsen gave him basically nothing

Too bad it wasn't my money league

I am mad that I didn't start one of my other QBs. If I started Rivers, Eli, or Tannehill I am winning by over 100 points.

Oh well, for the past three years Fantasy Football has paid for my kid's Christmas gifts. :D

In my keeper league we are allowed to keep one player. I picked up Adrian Peterson because someone dropped him. Now I have to decide between AP and Calvin Johnson.

I also have the 2nd pick so I could keep AP and draft one of Leveon Bell, Jamaal Charles, McCoy, Lacy, or Murray.
