Have some questions regarding the ESPN Playoff league format. Not my first year in an ESPN league, but first year I've been in the Winner's bracket. I went head to head vs the #3 seed since I was the #2 seed. Playoffs are two weeks long.

Week 14 I lost 119.- 115.5
Week 15 I won 99-92

So, by points I won 215-211.5.

Log in to check my team and bracket today and ESPN has me in the Consolation Winners bracket and says I lost 207-193. How in the fuck does that work?

Is your score still screwy...I know earlier ESPN's scores were messed up...there was also a major score adjustment where they changed Zekes fumble

Nice, just checked. It's fixed.

The Zeke news was huge. I bet that shifted a ton of leagues. In my Yahoo league it almost made a big upset. Guy with Zeke ended up losing by .16 with the adjustment.

Jamaal Williams (assuming he's healthy. Saw he was limited at practice yesterday.
Matt Ryan
Bears D because its the Bears D

WRs - Hamilton and Foster, I guess.

With Conner pretty much ruled out this week, in one of my games I have a log jam at my flex spot. Right now I am starting Carson and Damien Williams as my RB's, Hill and Jeffery at my WR, and Njoku at TE. So need to choose on of the following at Flex

Landry vs Cin
McCoy vs NE
Fournette vs Mia
R Anderson vs GB

Some doucher who didn't make playoffs dropped a high bid on J Williams who I was hoping to get and start in my flex.

God damn, that's a doozy. McCoy is out for sure for me. Fournette is banged up from what I just read and teams just stack the box on him. Landry is probably your safest bet if you want to go that route. High Risk/High Reward though for me would be Robby. He seems to have good rapport with Darnold and they are at home against a bad Packers D.

Been racking my brain on this since Tuesday. McCoy and Fournette were pretty much out for me, but wanted to include them because RB's have decent floors and I'm not 100% against starting them. So it was mainly between Anderson and Landry...both have good matchups, I can see Anderson having potential for a huge game. I also have Hamilton, but I like him the least of the options.

My other question would be if I went with Landry, should I grab V McDonald off of waivers and play him over Njoku so I do not have a lot of stock in the Cleveland game?

A big part of me feels I need a homerun with Anderson because my opponent has Mahomes, Barkley, and Kamara...his WR's are pretty weak, but that main trio can make up for it.

I didn't even consider the Njoku start. That almost makes me want to give the nod to Robby. Browns average 22 PPG and only 234 passing yards. That's not a ton of points available for two guys. I could see one of Landry/Njoku having a decent game, but not both. Tough to say which one.

FWIW, I just picked up Robby in a league and am going to play him. Granted, it's only for 5th/6th place lol and my other WRs are hurt.

I would lean Jarvis. Josh Allen is now the RB in Buf

I agree with this.

Easy for me, Fournette. With how bad Miami is against the run, there is no way I don't get Fournette into the lineup (unless he's a no go, obviously). Also, I wouldn't play McDonald because the Saints have been insane at shutting down TEs. They've allowed more than 4 catches once, and 50 yards twice.

Todd Gurley is a game time decision and McVay said they will not put him at risk for further injury. I bet he sits. If you are playing against Gurley, go out and snag CJ Anderson right now

Down 13.8 points with Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce to go. He has no one. I am going for a perfect season. No losses or ties. Been in this league for 17 years. I will be the first to do it if they all dont break their leg.

I lost by 4. Decided to play Doug Martin instead of C.J. Anderson. Todd Gurley killed me.. Had him all season long and then bam sits out.


Jared Cook getting 2.4 didn't help either...

What is your roster? How many teams in your league? Just wondering.
