Bronn Stone Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not my thoughts, Rotoworld's.... Aaron Jones (knee) will practice Thursday. Jones was officially listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, but he did not do much. Coach Mike McCarthy said he will do more Thursday, and if that goes well he could play Sunday against the Bucs. Jones returning would be a big hit to Jamaal Williams' fantasy value and leave both backs as risky FLEX options. ETA: Better news laterAlso limited on Wednesday, Jones was expected to do more on Thursday. His Week 13 status is genuinely uncertain, but we would guess the Packers' cautious training staff has him on the wrong side of 50-50. He should have a good idea of Jones' availability by Friday.

Dunknegg Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 In a show of support for the first family of football, the Mole’s Town Septas have signed Eli Manning in what is most likely their last transaction of the 2017 season. The Septas GM released a statement shortly after the signing. Quote ”We just felt like no matter how poorly he’s played, we owed it to GRRM to welcome him with open arms, dress him up in a Westerosi habit, and let him be our honorary captain....while he sits in the bench for us. He will be given the number “8” because a) it was available, b ) we think he’s barely better than #7 Jacoby Brissett but only half the the QB that #16 Jarod Goff is, and c) he kind of favors one of my favorite Disney dwarves and would be next in line if he wanted to make a career change. Also, this is an awesome PR move and we hope to sell lots jerseys while only paying him league minimum for one week.” Besides, who wouldn’t follow a leader with a face like this into battle?

Whiskeyjack Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Accepted a trade from JJ. I get Watkins, he gets Rodgers. I'm guessing he wants to start Quiz, but not sure. ETA - looks like it was processed, so he should have plenty of time to set his lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Lannister Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yes I want to start Quiz over Cohen. Not good when 2 of your starting RBs most likely aren't going to play in a must win game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Lining up like Bronn and I will be facing each other Week 14. As of right now, it looks like both TEs may be out for Bronn (CJ - concussion and Gronk - probable suspension). Big swing there given the state of TEs...which is ... fucking awful.

Hoping that Gronk's suspension is delayed for one week by an appeal. In week 15, I can probably cover Gronk better with Rodgers available again. If I have a week 15.

Week Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Rough -- we'll see if he appeals and whether they waive it due to his pretty clean track-record. NFL suspended Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski one game for violating the league's player-safety policy. It's the expected, and deserved, outcome after Gronk's illegal Sunday hit left Bills CB Tre'Davious White with a concussion. Gronk was arguably lucky to escape with only a one-game ban. Although both Gronk and coach Bill Belichick expressed remorse after the game, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Gronk will appeal the suspension. If it's unsuccessful, he will miss next Monday's game against the Dolphins, or as fantasy owners call it, the first week of the playoffs. Gronk can return for Week 15 against the Steelers. Dwayne Allen will get the start in Gronk's absence, but won't be more than a wheezing TE2 for fantasy purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Final Power Rankings/Record/Points 1) Whiskeyjack: 76-41 (8-5) 1,963.80 points 2) Mudguard: 75-42 (7-6) 1,961.86 points 3) Jaime: 69-48 (9-4) 1,937.80 points 4) Week: 65-52 (8-5) 1,845.94 points 5) Dunknegg: 63-54 (5-8) 1,849.18 points 6) Mya: 59-58 (7-6) 1,826.06 points 7) Bronn: 55-62 (7-6) 1,821.74 points 8) Pyro: 48-69 (5-8) 1,664.28 points 9) JJ Lannister: 41-76 (7-6) 1,656.70 points 10) POTN: 34-83 (2-11) 1,556.62 points Jaxoming Order #1 POTN #2 JJ Lannister #3 Pyro In the end JJ was not saved by 7 wins. Both he and Pyro made Experts last year but it's a cruel league and find themselves back out the next. At least Pyro finished...on fire. And JJ has already provided the template for making it back here after only a year hiatus. Not sure but I think both also have a shot at saving themselves. Special note about POTN who has been in this league continuously since 2010. Helluvan 8 year run with a title to boot. Just had the season from hell going from starting Aaron Rodgers and DeShaun Watson at one point to Paxton Lynch and Mitch Trubisky near the end. Have no doubt you'll either save yourself or be back soon. Saved by Power Rankings Dunknegg - Finished very strong in week 13 and guaranteed his survival. Ended with a rock solid power power ranking and missed the playoffs more due to bad luck than anything. These things tend to even out over multiple seaosns Playoffs #1 Jaime - Bye #2 Whiskeyjack - Bye #3 Week vs. #6 Bronn - Winner plays Whiskeyjack #4 Mudguard vs. #5 Mya - Winner plays Jaime All 6 teams are tightly packed. Lot of good teams but no historically great ones. This is the first Experts season ever not a single team made it to 2,000 points. It was the kind of bizarre NFL season that made it impossible for any team to be great all year. Whiskeyjack started a dominant 5-0, then suffered some critical injuries and had to sweat out a survive a series of tough matchups at the end of the year to even make the playoffs. Still was able to finish strong and secure a bye. Mya looked like a world beater after 4 weeks with her 3 dominant young RBs before falling off in the second half and needing a win in week 13 to both make the playoffs and stay in the league outright. Conversely Mudguard and I both started 0-3. Mudguard however rode 7 weeks with 160 points or above to guarantee his spot. I had a 6-30 power ranking 4 weeks in...but won 9 of my final 10 with a small assist from my life coach, Week, to nail down an improbable bye. Bronn and Week both looked dead in the water at 2-3 with soft power rankings before winning 5 of 7 and 6 of 7 respectively. This league was all about hot streaks...and now it'll be about who is going to finish with one. Going through all this for 3 reasons: 1) No-one had an easy time this season. All 6 playoff team had moments of extreme doubt. 2) Some time between weeks 4 and 6, everything went haywire. The worst teams got good and the best teams went sideways. And what this means 10 weeks later is 3) I have zero predictions for the playoffs. Anything is possible. Good luck, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Lannister Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I'm not going anywhere. Bye in Westeros A and Keeper and the second most points scored in Thunderdome. I will pull out at least one win! Been a lot of fun this year. Good luck everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Jace had a pretty good FF campaign this year. The road to Experts in Westeros C runs through the Storms End Scumbags, and the Bolton Bitches have dibs on hosting the A league pride cup. B is where I've struggled, as the Ruby Ford Rejects have locked up the division as a moderate 4 seed. The team has the guns for a run, but a wildcard where my QB options are vs Sacksonville, vs LA Rams, vs New England. If I get out of this week in B, I think I'm optimistic about to be back. In other news, I took over a one win team in Thunderdome around week seven and ran that shit straight to a winning record. And in a REBUILDING! year, the Griffin's Roosters secured the 6 seed in Dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I’m the second seed in W-C and the third seed in W-B. Both teams are looking strong despite QB injuries. Witness me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the 3 seed in Westeros A and, if Brady and Cousins stay healthy, I feel like I always have a puncher's chance. Jace's team in A looks practically unbeatable, though. But, as you say, anything can happen in the playoffs. And, yes, good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
