NFL.com VMB Fantasy Playoff Challenge

Post by frosted »

I'm posting this here, as well, because no one goes in the fantasy section anyways..

http://playoffchallenge.fantasy.nfl.com/group/202346

I set up a VMB group for NFL.com's fantasy playoff challenge. It's fantasy football, with a playoff twist!

For those not familiar with this particular game:

I chose to go the route of choosing all bye players, except for Antonio Brown, who had a mediocre game. Doh.

Meh, it's only bad for now. I actually didn't even read the rules about doubling points and such. In the end your method will likely win out.

The risk being, if the guys I chose to move forth, don't move forth, I'm gonna like a damn fool.

Yeah, I didn't really fully understand that 2x, 3x, etc. element to it until now. I understood the bye week players, but I didn't realize that you also get that bonus with players whose team won in the wildcard round. Essentially, then, you are also picking players on teams that you think will advance--or at least there is an inherent advantage to doing so.

im 3rd in the group. in the top 50,000 in the country so far. Moncrief screwed me out of a Fleener TD. Big Ben had a so so game, and now he is out. Not sure who will take his place. Rodgers or Romo? Flacco or Brady? Manning or Luck? Boy, its a toss up.

Nothing like choosing the losing QB two out of three weeks. :roll:
I knew I should have taken Brady to start with. Idk why I talked myself out of it.
