NFL Playoff Fantasy 2020

[Kneeneighbor]

I will once again be running post season fantasy. Time to start thinking about rosters though they are not due for a while.

Congrats to GBF who won last year and joined Issac Yankemand himself as winners in this prestigious competition. Rules below. Ask with any questions. If you want to keep your team secret you can send it to me via private message and I will post once games start. I will post my team once we get closer. Edits allowed until game time on Sat. All players lock with the kick off in the first game.

NOTE THAT YOUR TEAM DOES NOT CHANGE WEEK TO WEEK. ONCE YOU PICK IT YOU ARE LOCKED IN ALL PLAYOFFS AND SUPERBOWL

Each team picks the following:

1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE

As a tiebreaker pick 1 Flex (RB, WR or TE)

No more than 2 players from any one NFL team. (Including your tie breaker)

Scoring runs through the Super Bowl.

Scoring as follows:

TD pass 4 pts
TD run or reception 6 pts
10 Yards Rushing or receiving 1 pt (decimals used)
25 Yards Passing 1 pt (decimals used)
2 pt conversion scored 2 pts
2 pt conversion thrown 1 pt
Fumble lost -2
Interception thrown -2

Here is a link to the scoring spread sheet and everyone's teams. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bbdv2VqY__dHMG5WuxxL31ENoVHQMSqK__aYsiguhNg/edit#gid=237697608)

Who has the balls to not take Lamar Jackson

[Bandit]

Sounds awesome

[Honey_Badger]

Who has the balls to not take Lamar Jackson

The only other realistic option would be Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes or possibly Drew Brees.

I could see Brees going off in the playoffs and winning the Saints another title.

[Kdestiny]

Who has the balls to not take Lamar Jackson

Depends on if you think he isn't getting to the Superbowl

[Kneeneighbor]

Or even if you think he will can you find an NFC quarterback that will play in the Wild Card Weekend and make the Super Bowl?

[virms]

[Kneeneighbor]

Reminder, who ever you take you are locked into for the full playoffs. Its a balance of picking top guys and picking guys who will play the most games.

Good luck everyone.

[Kneeneighbor]

As we are about to hit our 4th season of doing this a few all time numbers:

Best individual Performance: Aaron Rodger 2017 83 points
Worst Individual Performance: Odell Beckham Jr 2017 2.8 points
Best RB Performance: Leonard Fournett2 2018 52.6 points
Best WR Perfomance: Julio Jones 2017 51.4
Best TE Performance: Rob Gronkowski 2018 39.8

High Score: Issac Yankem DDS 2017 265.38
Low Score: Kneeneighbor 2017 132. 7

[Randolph]

I'm in. I can pick anyone I think so I will pick the following:

1 QB - Lamar Jackson - Ravens

2 RB - Alvin Kamara - Saints
Dalvin Cook - Vikings

3 WR - Michael Thomas - Saints
Tyreek Hill - Chiefs
Deandre Hopkins - Texans

1 TE - George Kittle - 49ers

FLEX - Tyler Lockett - Seahawks

I think I'm doing this right. Let me know if I screwed up.

[BGMaverick]

We are all fucked because Michale Thomas ain't doing shit this weekend. :)

[Kneeneighbor]

14 teams in.

Everyone has Michael Thomas. I will do my best to update at the conclusion of games but the gal and I have dinner plans tonight so we shall see.

[BGMaverick]

Michale Thomas lol

[Fro]

So if we all have Thomas then what he does is completely meaningless. Here's my squad:

Lamar Jackson
Mark Ingram, Kamara
Mike Thomas, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill
Kelce

alternate:
Aaron Jones

[Kneeneighbor]

Other news and notes:
0 Bills were selected
MIles Sanders was taken once and he is the only Eagle. That is only in a tie breaker role.
Edelman is taken twice and he is the only Patriot.
I was surprised Hopkins is only on 3 teams.

[Fro]

Probably because none of us trust them to beat the Bills, and the Bills have a good secondary.

[Kneeneighbor]

Michale Thomas lol

Quiet you.

[Percussion]

Got mine in time, Knee?

[Kneeneighbor]

Got mine in time, Knee?

Yup. I also missed Virm so we are at 15.

Everyone should be able to view the rosters in the link in the first post.

[Percussion]

Great work, bud..

[Pablo Diablo]

I'm surprised at the lack of people willing to gamble on Brees.

[Percussion]

Was legit considering Brees, particularly thinking about the likelihood of his playing 3 games, but the numbers game with wanting Kamara and Thomas was a factor.

[Pablo Diablo]

I mean I don't think anyone who took Jackson was wrong, I just figured so many people would that I wanted to go a different route and potentially capitalize should things go poorly for Lamar.

[Kneeneighbor]

I went Mahomes because I worry about Brees next week at Lambeau when its supposed to be 20s at kick off and snow.

[Fro]

i wouldnt wan to have hopkins on my roster right about now

Shit, forgot it would be Lambeau they would be going to for potential Divisional round. For some reason I had it in my head they'd go to San Fran.

[hithit]

So you missed mine apparently

[Kneeneighbor]

So you missed mine apparently

I did. I found it and it is on the spread sheet now. Sorry about that.

Scores are updated through the Texans/Bills Game.

Here is a link to the scoring spread sheet and everyone's teams. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bbdv2VqY__dHMG5WuxxL31ENoVHQMSqK__aYsiguhNg/edit#gid=237697608)<style type="text/css"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--></style>

[Percussion]

DHop get the 2 pts for the 2 pt conversion? Or am I just a giant dumb dumb?

[Fanny Batter]

Yep, Watson 1, Hopkins 2 I think. Needed that after the fumble. Needed the win too, obviously.

[lotjx]

I am in if there is room.

[virms]

Well it's too late now you nutter unless you dont take any of the 4 teams that have played

[Kneeneighbor]

DHop get the 2 pts for the 2 pt conversion? Or am I just a giant dumb dumb?

Yep sorry I missed that. I wasnt able to watch much of the game. The gal and I went out for steaks to celebrate tonight. Im home now and cleaning things up. Will get the 2nd game scored in a few min, once it wraps.

[Kneeneighbor]

Updated through Saturday.

As always check and see if I made any mistakes.

[Kneeneighbor]

Most picked players:

QB: Lamar Jackson
RB: Aaron Jones
RB: Mark Ingram
WR: Michael Thomas
WR: Tyreek Hill
WR: Davante Adams
TE: George Kittle

Interesting note: BigAl picked this exact team.

[Pablo Diablo]

Nah I just accept defeat at this point.

[BigAl]

Almost went Brees for my QB.

[Kneeneighbor]

Fanny leads early but can he hold it?

No. No, he cannot

Everyone picked Mike Thomas... love it.

[Fanny Batter]

I picked Brees, so no I can't. Unless big Derrick goes fucking bananas.

[Kneeneighbor]

Updated through Vikings and 49ers.

[Kneeneighbor]

If the TItans finish this off its going to send shockwaves through this thing.

[Kneeneighbor]

HitHIt into the lead.
Early projections have Percussion winning the whole thing.

[virms]

Nah I just accept defeat at this point.

I know.

[Kneeneighbor]

I am out and about for both games today. I probably will not update until late tonight or tomorrow morning. Good luck everyone. #GoPackGo

[Fro]

so whoeevr picked Henry (Fanny Batter I believe) is gonna win right

[Kdestiny]

He wasn't the only one

[Fro]

huge game for those of us who picked kelce over kittle

[Bandit]

For real!

[Percussion]

huge game for those of us who picked kelce over kittle

Not looking too bad for the Mahomes over Lamar crowd (err, both of us) either..

[BigAl]

Ah shit, I just realized I misspelled Kelce by adding an extra K-I-T-T-L-E.

[Pablo Diablo]

I let that one less week sway me away from Mahomes...fool of a Took.

I scored big with both of these. Unfortunately Edelmen, Deebo and Ingram have put me behind the 8 ball.

[Percussion]

Considered Deebo for my tiebreaker, but once I became convinced Henry could likely ball out Jones seemed a better candidate and the team took shape.

[Fanny Batter]

The Brees and Thomas connection killed me. I saw a win against the Vikings and at worst a shootout against the Packers, with a probable Championship game at least. Thought they were the second best team in the conference, again at worst. Wish I had Hill instead of AJ, that would have got points as well as a play on each team on Sunday. Titans win and I've got a chance.

[Bandit]

Can't believe I picked Rodgers and Hill instead of Mahomes and Adams. Kicking myself lol

So, Tyreek Hill & George Kittle with a 23 point cushion vs Deebo Samuel & Travis Kelce for the championship then..?
