I've literally been scooping up Tight Ends left and right with reckless abandon for the past month in hopes that something will finally stick. The Questionable tag last week and the shit Rams matchup for Week 14 scared me off.
The fact that he went off against Indy's terrible defense really doesn't change that outlook any although I'd probably prefer him to Donnell next week when they play each other. Short benches necessitate roster juggling - knowing Reed he'll probably find a way to get himself hurt again in short order. At least Donnell represents stability with capped upside which is a lot more than Ertz was giving me for the first 10 weeks of the year.
Welp my season is over. For anyone else who is eliminated too... you should try DraftKings. I placed in the top 1% of the Millionare Maker tournament.

This is a promising turn of events for you, minx88.
No Jennings or Crowell means a crippled RB lineup for Donjeezy with just Pierre Thomas and a bunch of dart throws as options.
Handcuffing your starters when possible is never a bad idea.
Looks like you're getting it; was really hoping he'd have a repeat this week for another league
I'm not sure that is going to help when the bears aren't doing anything offensively and now they will just focus on him

Closest Money Week Matchup in No Quitters history...
2012 - No Quitters 4
Long Island Broskis - 99.64
I'm Doin It Like Eli (aka Team Frankman) - 99.46
I remember this back-and-forth matchup fondly as I trailed Frankman heading into Sunday night by 13.18 points. Randall Cobb pushed me ahead by a meager 0.58 points heading into the Monday night contest between the Patriots and the Texans. I had Shayne Graham. Frankman had Owen Daniels.
It turned into an ugly blowout win for New England as they dialed up 6 touchdowns on Houston eliminating any potential for timely field goals. Matt Schaub spread the ball around which limited Daniels to a mere 24 yards and Graham had only a single extra point to his credit thanks to the Texans offense stalling out. The end seemed near as we approached the 2-minute warning with Frankman leading by 0.82 points.
And then a miracle happened. A miracle known as Ryan Mallett.
Somewhere in the mind of Bill Belichick, he thought it would be a great idea to give Mallett some regular season work to close out the game with Brady on the bench. And then in his first pass attempt, he was intercepted by Houston's Shiloh Keo deep in Pats territory. Backup Texans QB T.J. Yates dialed up a short run play, ran the ball in for a garbage time score, Graham kicked the extra point to put the Broskis up by 0.18 points and that was all she wrote as Mallett returned to the field to practice his kneeling.
As luck would have it, I've also won the 2nd closest Money Week matchup in No Quitters history...
2011 / NQ3 - Long Island Broskis 90.94 vs. PrimeTime 88.70
This also ended in a blowout on Monday night with a showdown between two players on the losing side of it.
In this case, the Rams... Brandon Lloyd vs. Steven Jackson.
I suspect THIS will be another one of "those" types of weeks.
Incidentally, in both of those matchups I de facto reverse jinxed my opponent by pre-emptively declaring them the winner. I may try out that tactic once again.

It's the moment of truth. Money Week is now upon us.
The next several hours will determine whether you will be one to several hundred dollars richer this Christmas or hanging your head in shame at a lost season.
Matchup projections as we head into the 1pm games...
PK Boosters - 102.69 Leads by 11.92 Points over Ember Island Players - 90.77
Psycho Crushers - 115.97 Leads by 6.52 Points over Redbull Express GAF - 109.45
The Hibachi Grill - 108.19 Leads by 2.04 Points over TD's N' Beer - 106.15
Long Island Broskis - 112.60 Leads by 0.48 Points over Gisele's Bundchens - 112.12

Still early but being down 45 points on Money Week is never a comfortable feeling.

The entire Saints organization has shit the bed for over the past month.
About to lose their 4th straight game at home.
(And, as a Graham owner in 2 leagues, I'm not thrilled about it.)

The early blowouts are surprising me. All of the No Quitters top seeds appear to be cruising.
I have a vested interest in fep holding on over GCQuinton this week as playoff reseeding is in effect. Would rather steer clear of MBison's offensive juggernaut as long as I can.
It's interesting that I haven't mentioned this but that's a Money Week grudge match from last year.
GCQuinton upset fep to make the money (and ultimately win) last season. This is fep's opportunity for retribution to ensure history does not repeat itself.

You're not losing yet but acksman's really coming on strong. Easily the closest matchup of the weekend right now with that slim 7.71-point projection advantage. A timely touchdown easily wipes that differential out. You didn't see competition like this in the fantasy playoffs last year until Week 16.
Some players available on waivers that could have been difference makers this week...
- Cole Beasley - 17.70 Points
- Tavon Austin - 17.12 Points (and counting)
Gordon's clunker gonna kill me. Figured I was gonna have a huge let down after blowing up last week.

235 combined yards and 3 TDs will carry most Bell owners to victory this week.
He's been a complete monster for the past month.
Easily the most dominant player in fantasy by a mile.
The Bengals had no answer for him.

Next week's likely (barring something unforeseen) semi-final matchups...
1) The Hibachi Grill (11-3)
vs.
5) Redbull Express GAF (8-6)
2) Long Island Broskis (10-4)
vs.
3) PK Boosters (10-4)
Best of luck to donjezzy, fep and acksman.
We are guaranteed a brand new first-time ever No Quitters champion this year.

Yeah, this will improve my lifetime record against you in No Quitters to 4-0. I actually expected this week's matchup to be a lot closer. Perhaps Brady and Mathews have 7 TDs in them this evening.
How are you doing in your $100 Yahoo league?

You should consider yourself fortunate. I doubt there are many Peyton Manning owners advancing to Week 15 in fantasy this year.
The ageless Steve Smith, Olsen and Green stepped up for you in a major way.
He would have played Hibachi right? He would have lost.
Don't call it a comeback! Shame that D. Allen had to shit the bed in his first game back and Morris did the same.
Also if I would have won one of my 3 less than 2 point losses I would have played PK boosters and won this week. Granted I only got into playoffs by Garbageman losing by .3 points.
Also.... If I played the Browns D instead of the Texans I would only be down 3 right now... Oh what could have been.

There's always a graveyard of "what if" scenarios behind every fantasy playoff exit.
Not much you can do but go back to the well next year and hope fortune smiles on you.
My Week 14 success the past 4 years has been largely dependent on luck.
Then again, the two things I prep for most each season are the draft and Week 14.
Everything else is more or less a crapshoot of injury evasion, safe plays and timely gambles.
Beckham might well be the best waiver claim I've lucked my way into thus far.
Trying to remember whether I had Moreno last season or not. If so, they're probably on par.
