Fantasy playoffs



No votes yet

Fantasy sports-wise, it wasn’t my best weekend of the year, but it certainly wasn’t a bad one. While I continue my free fall from the top of the Pick’em leader board, I advanced to the next round in both my Otte Football League and Wooddale Football League fantasy football playoffs.

Tony Romo, my go-to quarterback in the OFL has been slacking a bit of late. As a Packer fan, I’m happy that the Cowboys are faltering, but I need a bit more production from Romo in our OFL championship game next weekend if I’m going to beat the point-scoring juggernaut that is my parents’ team. This is the third year in a row that I’ve been in the league’s final game (and also, coincidentally, the third year that we’ve had a family league).

Tom Brady, my quarterback in the church Wooddale league, also had an off week. But so did my opponent’s starting quarterback, and I was able to pull out a win in that game, too. Next week I face the league leading team in the semifinals for a chance to win it all.

Two fantasy football league championships would be pretty nice, but next week I face two tough matchups.

The weird thing about this weekend is that it was the fantasy position that I routinely belittle – the kicker – that came up big for me in the OFL game. Thanks for that, Packer Mason Crosby!

How are your fantasy seasons winding down?

I fell victim to the weather, as well, but unlike you I was unable to overcome the poor week by Brady and Moss.
I finished the season in second place largely because of Moss and Brady, who let me down yesterday, so goes fantasy football.
In my other league, I am battling for the consolation championship, am down 14 points and have AD and Chester Taylor playing tonight. I hate to start two RBs from the same team, but injuries have forced me into a corner so to speak.

I am on to the championship game in one league as well, but I will be the first person to admit that I am not fielding a "championship level" team.
I have gotten there with the likes of Kurt Warner, Derrick Mason, Earnest Graham, Willis McGahee, Nick Folk, among others.

That just shows you what a crazy year in football it has been.

My team in my other league (where I didn't even make the playoffs) I thought was much better. Then again, its "what have you done for me lately" and "all about getting the job done."

Wow. On his first play of the game, Willie Parker broke his leg and single-handedly killed my chances of a repeat Otte Football League fantasy championship.
