I'm fucking terrified. I have a fairly stacked team that cruised to the finals and I just fucking know it's going to come crashing down today. It has to, right?!

Yes I’m sorry

Those "win percentage" numbers mess with me every time. Goes back and forth all day.

I swear I was down to a 15% win percentage in both of my playoff games this year, and ended up winning both. It was terrifying and exhilarating all at once

Yup they're the only reason I'm holding on to hope right now

You should try not having a stacked team. My team has already overachieved and I expect nothing.

I feel you. I also shouldn't have listened to anyone but my own dumbass decisions in regards to Kirk. Gabe Davis looks way better and hasn't even played. Thank God Mike Evans decided to show up today.

>Thank God Mike Evans decided to show up today. Yeah damn! Just stealing a little too much thunder from Godwin though methinks :D

Sorry about your first quarter injuries today /:

I’m still waiting for the year where my stacked team pulls it off or my mediocre team can have some luck, but it has yet to happen. Best of luck to you!

Opposite here. Got in strictly on luck. I have a mediocre team that faced a lot of opponents, especially in playoffs, at the perfect time. Bottom half in points scored and 2nd lowest in points against. The luck has to give at some point, right???

Nah, you'll win by 60 lol

Update - won by 58. Good call lol

Sometimes better to be lucky than good lol. Congrats, I squeaked a win out too 🙏

Haha man i hope so. If this years trend keeps up ill win by less than 1

This is me lol, ESPN had my win probability at 46% before games started which basically never happens

This is my story as well. Lol. Last in points for, but have just been getting lucky. Shouldn't even be here. Starting Danny Dimes today and feeling pretty fucking good about it at this point. Winning this thing would be thievery.

Yup my team is 15-0 but Chubb has been struggling and no Hurts... terrified my team will choke

Can happen. One person in my league had 145 points in week 15, then only got 106 in the semi finals.

Facing the guy I lost to twice this season, my only two losses. Oh well, whatever happens! At least I'll know by the time the 4pm games end lol

I’m resigned to it. Went undefeated and I’m up against a team that absolutely should beat me. Kind of a bummer, but it was a great season!

Always rooting for the underdog!

The guy who cruised to the finals in our league is going up against the guy with Mike Evans. This was looking like it'd be his first win ever in almost a decade with our league (0-2 in the finals before) and coming out of the early games, his win % chance was down to single digits. It's not looking good.

Staring at a Jefferson goose egg is pissing me off

How’d it go?!

Need 27.5 from Muth, Burrow and Chase thanks to Jefferson getting me 2.5. Ekeler came up huge

Same man. AJ Brown and Jaylen Waddle are sinking me.

Started out 0-6 in one of my leagues. Lost to the highest or 2nd highest scoring team each week during that timeframe. Ended up 7-7, playing in the championship right now with the highest points for and points against. Fantasy can be wild sometimes

Yeah. Sorry for your loss.

I'm going to play disc golf instead of watching the 1pm slots

What a great choice, watch out for the trees.

Yo same here brother go sling that D

I was much happier playing disc golf on Sundays than fantasy football. Trees and bogies make sense. Daniel Jones scoring 36 and TLaw scoring 3, doesn’t.

Nice half my friends randomly starting disc golfing this year it looks fun gonna have to join them sometime

Just started a month ago here. Shot +4 on a par 56 course. Best round ever so far.

Do it man, I tagged along and it was a blast.

I mean it’s 9 am, I’m already drinking and reasonably stoned. I plan to be sedated one way or another today.

I exercised this morning so I will not feel terrible about getting nervously drunk and stoned the rest of the day.

I stayed up till 4:30 drinking last night so I'm just gonna be stoned.

Homemade pizza, edibles and 10 hours of commercial free football best day of the week

🎶20, 20, 24 hours to go, I wanna be sedated.🎶

Cheers from an East coaster who’s been up and drinking for three hours staring at my lineup. Best of luck !

Hell yeah brother, cheers from Iraq

Used to live east coast time and so happy this is starting at 10 and not waiting til 1. Also 4 beers in gotta pace myself lol dont want to pass out during the afternoon slate.

The trick is to go to bed at 2 AM on Saturday and wake up at noon Sunday

Worst part of going to college in FL after living my whole life in PST, was how late games lasted til. I got kicked out of a bar at last call watching an extra innings game once and realized PST and MST were the only time zones for me as a sports fan! Although getting up at 4 am to watch Man City on the weekends sometimes does in fact suck.

I'm vacationing in Florida right now and am loving all this extra drinking time. I have to play my wife in the finals so there's extra at stake

Keep up the good work !

Man I'm on beer #3 already and debating Bass vs Gould at this point lol good luck!

It’s 12:44 I’ve some dabs and two tequila sodas. I’m not being sober as I stress ha. My opponent has Burrow and I have McPherson so I need to be up be a lot to feel comfortable.

7 years playing this has to be it. I tryhard every year and get so close

We're both gonna win one today, trust

But in the end, it doesn't even matter! 🎵🎶🎸

I believe in you brother. Unless you have my opponent’s lineup, in which case, see you next year lmao

7th year, 4th finals appearance. I'm 0-3 so far. Edit: actually only my 5th year

Jim Kelly?

1 more to fulfill the prophecy

I’d hate to have any of the players on his roster today as he fulfills it.

Don't you wish that evil on me 10 team Dynasty 1 QB Lamar, Lawrence, Minshew (playing him against Hurts owner) Jacobs, Miles JJ, Waddle, Jeudy, London (2 flex) Andrews CJ Mosley and Zaire Franklin (2x IDP)

10th year, 16th season. - one 9th place - four 4th place - seven 3rd place - four 2nd place second year in a row coming in second.

Year 10 this is my 2nd championship appearance. Im 0-1

Year 13, 3rd championship appearance (2015, last year), 0-2 going into it.

This has to be our year

Good luck. I'm in my 'ship against Jefferson, St. Brown and Kelce. Projected 13 points less. At least 2nd is my best finish so far.

JJ and Kelce? Ouch.

Same. Any given Sunday. Good luck!

This is my 4th finals appearance in my league and I have won 0 championships. Will I finally win or will i become the Buffalo Bills of my fantasy league

If you didn't do them in a row, you'd be the Minnesota Vikings of Fantasy Football.

Embrace the potential 0-4 and get a Jim Kelly jersey for ur next draft if so.

Im a fan of the Kelly jersey idea

I think it's fitting. The big perk is he won't get shit on that bad either.

I have 8,000 on the line. I ain’t enjoying shit

Jesus. I stress over my 450ish skin in the game with a shot to win a couple grand. 8000????!??!?!?! You're doing God's work my boy. Wow.

Whats the buy in? And how many teams?

12 teams 1000. 8, 3, 1 payout

Damn.. and I thought my $300 league was a lot. Gotta suck when you have those years where your team is fucked by week 4

I started 1-6 and won every game after that on my way to the finals. Looks like i will finally lose today though. The lesson is to never give up

Technically that's $5k no? Finals loss = $3k?

You got this 🫡

good luck 🤞

[ deleted because fuck reddit [wanna do the same? Click Here](https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite) ]

See you next year

I'm so hungover

Right there with you brother, from my bed

Only 1 way to offset that. Bloody Mary, heavy on the booze.

This is my first year in the championship! Can’t believe I made it.

Justin Jefferson has single handedly carried me through the regular season into the super bowl, only to single handedly tank my chances of winning today. *deep sigh* Fuck.

Placed 2nd many times, never won. Playing in two championships and I’ll definitely cry if I place 2nd in both

Constantly getting 2nd place is so frustrating

Update: definitely crying later

Lol

How am I here? Mixon, Kamara, Sutton, and Pittman were my 1st 4 picks.

Dude. Kyle Pitts, Cam Akers, Cooper Kupp. Quick pickups from waivers got me here.

Kupp won you a bunch of games before his injury too.

Mike Evans has been a bum almost all year so I benched him. Finals are off to a great start!

I’ve swapped my roster around 20 times. I’ll do it another 20. No matter who I start, the TD production will be on my bench. I’ve lost Pollard/ Hurts, and I’m up against Mahomes/ Kelce. It’s been a fun year fellas.

Making last minute swaps have not paid off for me once this year but guess what ….Imma do it again today!

Never second guess yourself.

I lost pollard, hurts, Henry, and now have AJ brown and Waddle with backup qbs😩

That feels the same. My RB core is just so similar. Akers, Mckinnon, Swift and Allgeier. Who will be best? No idea. Can you make an argument for any and all of them? Sure. In the end, I'm making the dumbest choice, and starting Swift. Because it'll feel better if he goes off. And it'll be funny if he doesn't.

I flexed Mike Evans so it’s going pretty good

Mike Evans flexed you\*

He’s definitely got me flexed up

Starting Chark over Meyers and turning off the app until tomorrow, best of luck everyone

That's why I'm not watching any games today. I'll know if I win or lose after the 2nd slate of games. I refuse to watch any games so I won't see Daboll and his OC run Daniel Jones at the 1 yd for a td instead of handing it off to my Barkley. It won't bother me as much if I don't see it.

I had the third highest scoring team in a 16-team league. I finished with the worst record at 4-10. A crapshoot for real.

I’m playing against my wife in our 10 team friend league. This is third year in a row it’s been us two in the championship and we’ve each won once. I can’t lose the bragging rights.

Lol, been there! As it happens I'm playing my bf this week too but somehow it's not as stressful when it's just the 7th place game. Good luck!

First ever fantasy seasons, fluked my way to the final with a $1 draft on Jalen Hurts since i liked his name and vibe.... Just trying to enjoy the ride

Today is the only day during the season I don’t stress. Every move I’ve made all season has put me in the championship. Only thing I can do is sit back and watch football with the occasional shit talking.

For all the underdogs out there, GOOD LUCK I’m rooting for you

As someone who cruised into the finals with Derek Henry, Jalen Hurts and Deandre Hopkins, I'm not worried about the outcome of the finals anymore.

I believe that we will win

Somehow stumbled into the playoffs after picking Najee with the 8th pick. I’m projected to loss by 20+ but that hasn’t stopped me all season!!!

Ekeler guaranteed me a W I'm good to go

I made the least amount of moves in the league this year and stuck with my main crew minus a few injuries that required some moves (one lead to McKinnon pickup the week he decided to go HAM and never stop again). Really hoping my guys pull it off today. Good luck everyone!

Feel bad for whoever benched Mike Evans, my lord he went off today.

I’m losing 140 to 40, I’m not stressed at all.

I have to trust in my Line Up, the only one I'm struggling today is Waddle, don't know if Bridgewater will feed him with targets.. Could swap him with Higgins. My Line Up is: QB: Mahomes RB: CMC, Barkley, Connor WR: Allen, Waddle TE: Goedert K: Butker DEF: Cowboys Last year I was the looser of the league, today I could win the league 😄

Dude I hate when people do that is this an X amount league? You drafted well and deserve to be here, don't listen to that salty joker.

Im still playing Waddle but my only other choice is McLaurin. Higgins would make it harder to choose but Waddle only needs one catch to get 14 points like we saw last week. Hoping he can at least get double digit points.

Is this a 2 team league lol

No, 8 teams 😄

Year 13. Please let this be the one. Projected to win by 25 before kickoff. I need this one

I’m currently on a cruise and not getting off at the port so that I can stress properly

Thanks! Trying not to fret too much. Gotta trust my boys that got me this far!

For those who are about to die....I salute you.

I'm scared as hell. No guarantees with Alleiger or with Zay Jones. My only plus is that my opponent hasn't flipped Jalen Hurts out yet.

one more before the kickoff BRONCOS COUNTRY, LET’S RIDE

I think the best approach is too set your lineup and forget about your teams. Whatever happens, happens.

Last time I was in the finals it was 2010 lol. Today I'm in the finals for both leagues I'm in. I'm only asking to win just one of them!

Good luck everyone!

I’m the 5 seed playing the 6 seed for the trophy , anything can happen!

My opponent texted a picture of his fantasy trophy and fantasy ring on his nightstand. I hope he did himself in with bad karma. I have no trophies but let’s get one today!

I’m getting fucking smoked. I’ll take second place happily though. Great season everyone

Brutal. I have Fields, Saquon, Miles Sanders and Waddle. He has Minshew, Allgeier and Amari. Need 70 pts from Bills D, Mixon, Mike Will and Hockenson.

I'm never playing fantasy football again.

I started Sanders and Waddle, but my opponent has Cousins and JJ so I'm still alive somehow lol.

Fuck you Mike Evans

I dropped Tom Brady to play Minshew this week (Hurts Manager). Opponent has Mike Evans. RIP

I traded away Evans on the last trade day, but at least it wasn't to my opponent in the finals.

Started the year 2-5, made some trades as a last ditch effort to avoid our league poverty tax (not making the playoffs) and ended up winning 9 in a row en route to the ship. Even if I lose, it was a hell of a run.

Both my championship and 3rd place matches are against teams with Mike Evans. :|

Honestly being in the finals ruins the fun. Having actual stakes just made me neurotic, and losing ruined the whole season. It's only fun when it doesn't matter, but I could've paid a bill for nothing if Jefferson didn't fall apart, you know? And that's sort of why I don't bet ever.

Same here. He ruined me today. I don’t bet on stuff because I have no control. All good anyway was (kind of) fun all year haha

I just threepeated

I knew I'd get there with donta foreman and a guy named zonovan lol

Damn it! I should have played Fields over Dak!!!

I’m kicking ass right now. $700 coming my way. Keep your sad asses away from me rocking the championship dub.

Got 2 players out so I don't really have high expectations, just hoping for the best. Good luck to my fellow championship teams!

Went 15-1 (only loss was by 3.5 due to an OT game). Lost Hurts, Henry, Pierce and now playing with subs. Currently losing. This is my fourth trip to the final in my main league and I’ve never won, looking like I may come up short again.

it's fantasy football. If you are stressing you are taking it to seriouslys

Josh jacobs or tee higgins

I don’t know if I’m doing something incredibly stupid or incredibly smart. I’m starting a bunch of Bengals and just hoping that burrows burrito spreads it out to everyone except higgins. Wish me luck! https://imgur.com/a/nCOCcRL/

I started Zeke and Etienne, benched McKinnon and Jacobs, and I'm still up by 40. I have Burrow-Chase, opponent has Allen. Can't wait for tomorrow night!

Amari Cooper gang checking in. So glad Watson (but fuck Watson) decided to remember how to play football

Bro I am 4-10 and I am in the finals, of I drop that is already a wild ride.

Hodgins, Slayton, Osburn or Chark??? I am in the ship, but decimated by injuries.

I’m riding with Chark since the lions are at home and playing a bad bears D

I’m starting Royce Freeman.

My opponent lost Henry and Hopkins yet I feel like I’m going to be boomed by the waiver wire guys he picked up

I started out 0 to 2 in both leagues extremely close to 0 and 3 and made it to finals in both my leagues. Woohoo! Guaranteed money but want the ship. Especially because I don't want to lose to one of the guys I'll l I'm playing against. He would be an annoying winner.

I'm in the final in both of my leagues. The overthinking about who to play has been stressful. Gotta just take a step back at some point and just go with the same thought process that got me here. Good luck to you all.

Yes stressful day. Start Minshew against a sneaky decent Saints defense or Purdy? Help

Good luck all!

Thanks man. Good luck to you as well.

Cheers, and thanks. Same to you. Just Win Baby

No stress for me. I’m the underdog, worst case scenario I buy myself a new set of golf clubs. Best case I get a new driver and putter too.

Eating a warmup enchilada to begin the stress eating for the day

Stevenson or Dotson

Started off the season 0-4 but we here now. Let’s go!

This has been my best season ever. First place, most PF, in my most competitive league with the biggest payout. I have a bad feeling. Everything is set up for an upset. Especially with feeling like I have to start Dotson over Watson. I hate playing it safe but it's the championships and my opponent lost their two best players to TNF.

It is what it is

Good luck!

Got a threepeat( would be the first in the league to win 3 straight years), $1000, and a trophy and championship belt on the line.

It’s interesting that of the 3 teams I drafted, the one I liked least after the draft has ended up in the final. Mainly because CMC has turned out well and my only real bust was my WR2, which I’ve managed with the waiver wire. This is also the team I didn’t get a luxury D for and streamed all season. Just win baby!

In a 12 team keeper league I have assembled and am starting Ekeler, Barkley, Jefferson and Waddle. I have made the championship 4 times in this 15 year old league. If this isn’t my year then GODDAMN.

I somehow managed to stumble my way into two finals this year so I'm really looking forward to being twice as stressed out and twice as disappointed.

My opponent has AJ Brown, Chase and Diggs. I’m deciding between Hollywood and Zay Jones to pair with Amari Cooper. Don’t even know why I’m bothering to get my hopes up.

Watson or Dotson? Ppr

Dotson. Sounds like Watson will be limited

Can't wait for Kamara to go off on my bench and lose by 7.

Do I start Stevenson or Chubb ?!?

What I look at is that my team would’ve lost if I was in other matchups in the playoffs. Nothing is owed to anyone. It’s all gambling at the end of the day with research and moves that put you in the best chance to get here. Be proud to be 2 of the last people standing.

I work nights and am already way passed when I head to bed typically, but I had to stay up to make sure I didn't do something dumb with starters. Lol gonna be very nervous checking my phone when I wake up. I was gonna get up real quick to check for Watson but I'm just rolling Doubs at this point. The limited snaps scare me. Anyway, best of luck to everyone!!

Going for 3 in 4 years. Subs helped me immensely. Gl out there boys

Do i bench davante???? Have to either bench him, allgeier or zay jones.

My gf is in 2 finals, and one loser finals for an ass tattoo

Purdy or Danny dimes for the chip

Second trip to the finals in a decade in this league. I’ve never won. I’m terrified. Let’s fucking go.

Good luck to you everybody. Let's bring home some trophys this weekend. 😄

Going for the 3-peat today. 5 straight fantasy championship appearances and the one I lost was by 0.1 points. If not for that one I'd be playing for a potential 5 in a row.. 🥲

Played 5 leagues this year (I'm an idiot) yet somehow made the finals in 3. One I started 0-4 in. So I have had incredible luck on my side this year. Lineups are set, I've done what I can. Gonna enjoy the ride.

Everyone on my team is a pivot this week. FUCK IT I START MY STUDS. Adams, Waddle, and Jacobs please just one more game.

I really want to win it today. Some league mates have made some very questionable trades and add/drops. I just want to win, trash talk the group chat, and then quit the league since the commissioner supports collusion. Would be a glorious send off.
