I was stuck in nomansland pick order wise and took best available thinking I would trade for what I needed. Ended up with Antonio Gates and Vernon Davis, but never managed to trade them for fair value so was starting a TE at flex every week. I had Michael Turner at one RB slot, with a platoon of Clinton Portis and Marion Barber for my other spot with reserves of Donald Brown and Toby(I like to have easily droppable bench players if possible). QB was Romo, and then Josh Freeman/Mark Sanchez best play. WR I had Jennings, Maclin, and Moss, with Sidney Rice and Vincent Jackson stashed. Traded Jennings and Portis for McFadden and Lance Moore. Picked up Danny Woodhead who was fun, but that was it, Came in dead last.

Im up by 40 points going into the final week. I need for Chris Johnson to finally play like the 2k yard rusher he was last year. Hopefully he breaks out.

PHMF entered the playoff’s on the final game of the season as the #8 seed (8-6) and promptly pounded the #1 seed (12-2) and your’s truly, into oblivion in the 1st round……..well played PHMF, well played.

Sadly, PHMF’s run came to an end this week after getting defeated by one, 1, uno stinking point! I feel your pain bro! Thus setting up Team Gergen (who I believe the owner is from the D.N.) and a 1st year team to play second year team Mushin’s Mackrel in our Bowl this coming week.

This was the 3rd year of our league. For those from the D.N. that joined this season, thank you!

Next season, year 4, is already in the works!

Just as this and last year, an invite will be posted next year for anyone from the DN who would like to join.

This is no ordinary league. If you win your game of the week, you get to force a trade from the team you defeated. It makes you become very involved in what’s going on with players and teams through out the season.

I’ve been running a league for 7 years now, and made my first trip to the playoffs (sigh) with the #1 seed after pacing the regular season. After Monday night I was up by 7 points, my opponent had Joe Webb left at the WR spot since that’s how Y! has him listed.

I was (almost) hoping for another Old Man Miracle, Favre stepping in and saving my day. But alas, Joe Webb flourished in a game nobody expected him to win, and I was sent packing. If I’m gonna get beat though, at least it was by a guy on my team I would like to see succeed in the NFL.

Much like the Vikings, it left me saying…“there’s always next year….”

Any chance you can start a play-off fantasy a la NFL.com?

Waiting whole year for next seasons FF will be tough.
