Worst possible defensive score is -4 and I’m ahead by like 45. But I am embarrassed to say that if I were only up by 1 I’m not sure I would have thought to bench my defense.
In quarterfinals my buddy was playing against my current opp and my current opp was up 4 points with just Baltimore defense against Cleveland to go and my buddy was done
He did NOT bench his defense and he got to -6 so 2 points behind but then that safety got him 2 points to tie my buddy
Then my buddy had higher seed but is the commish and had set playoff tiebreaker to h2h in season instead of default highest seed
So he lost 0-1 to him in season so the guy won
Now he’s gonna beat me because Pittsburgh is laying an egg against the Bengals
So, what happened? In my league scoring system, Pitt got exactly 4 pts.
In mine Pitt got 2 points
I think my buddy has a custom defense scoring system in place, which screwed me 
Pitt got 2 in one of my leagues and 4 in one that uses yards against stats in addition to the standard stuff. The guy that had Pitt in one of my leagues won his semi final match-up 162.48-162.44, crazy
Ok, officially in the championship game. Current lineups:
I’ve got a waiver request in for L. Bell and would potentially swap him for Swift (or Robinson if he turns out to be injured).
Considering a Landry for Kupp swap.
Any other obvious changes I should make?

I’d probably keep Kupp in. Seattle pass defense is better, but still pretty bad. I feel like that game has a better chance of being a shootout than than Cle-Jets, which could see a lot of Chubb-Hunt in the second half.
Any good D match-ups available? Pitt has been struggling recently and Ind is a pretty bad match-up.
Houston is the most intriguing as their defense is atrocious but so is the Bengals offense. Their 27 against Pitt seems like a huge fluke as they had less than 200 total yards, and in the 5 previous games, they topped 10 points once. Risky, but seems like most upside.
Cardinals-49ers also seems decent as Cards get lots of sacks and 49ers throw lots of interceptions.
Projecting D is obv extremely hard, but out of those HOU project the best followed by TB and WAS.
Houston, Tampa, Was, NO, Arizona, LAC, Carolina and Philly project better than the Steelers.
Think I’m gonna go Arizona against the QB-less 49ers.
Out of those only Hou, LAC, Car and Philly are available in my league. I’ve got Buffalo. Who do we like the best?
I’d stick with the Bills. They are a good D with a a decent matchup (and could be even better if Stidham starts).
Thanks. I’m pretty close between Bills, Chargers, and Texans. I’ve got enough flexibility that I can pick up one and make the decision later.
I feel like starting B cooks or Godwin over Theilen. Down by 20 going into the second week.
Talk me out of it please.
Thielen has a tough match up against the Saints. Brandin Cooks is set to grip it and rip it. Godwin is on Tompa so to hell with him.
Thielen plays on Christmas day, so that would be fun to watch. Unfortunately, Michael Thomas will be on my bench yet again for the last game in my league.
This is the current lineup for my championship game. Monitoring J. Robinson right now at RB. In Yahoo projections I’m about 4 points down, but I think I’m a bigger underdog than that.
Big questions:
Cooper Kupp over Jarvis Landry?
Leveon Bell over Robinson or Swift?
So, I had Kamara, but according to ESPN’s algorithm, I’m only about 75% to win my matchup. I’m not even sure that’s too far off.
LOL Fantasyaments.
Two week championship game, I was down 21 points.
Had Kamara and theilen going .
Opponent had D Cook.
I’m back in it baby.
1800 for first, 800 for second.
