I'm showing up late to this party but I'll share my story.  I play in a 12-team keeper/dynasty league with head to head match-ups and weird division rules:

QB: Drew Brees
RB: MJD
RB: Frank Gore
WR: Roddy White
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
W/R: Denarius Moore / Felix Jones
TE: Mercedes Lewis / Brent Celek / any hot waiver wire guy
D/ST: Seattle

BN: Rashad Jennings
BN: Nate Washington
BN: Joe Flacco

MJD & Fitzgerald tanking pretty much summed up my year, and the Brees/R. White/Fitzgerald collapse at the end knocked me out of the playoffs.

I can keep three players of my choosing.  I have kept Brees, MJD, & White for the last 4 years (I won the championship once basically because of them), but I can't decide if MJD is worth keeping anymore.

I'm nervous. In five minutes the last game of the FF regular season begins - Texans at New England. I need to win to get the last playoff spot, and I'm presently ahead 113-81.

Sounds good, right?

Not really. My opponent has Andre Johnson & Wes Welker going. I got Stevan Ridley & the NE Defense.

I need the NE secondary to have a big night & shut down Johnson. Welker ain't gonna beat me single-handedly.

Gonna be fun to watch!

That was me too, jamo. After 6 weeks I was 1-5 but 2nd in points. Everyone was having their best weeks against me. But I've been 6-1 in my last 7 to get to 7-6.

See, this is something we do differently in my league...which has been around 25 years, btw...we not only play head-to-head like every other league, but we also give out bonus money for the top point earners, regardless of record. Keeps teams in it up until week 17. Plus we also play nickle a point, which teams from giving up - if you do you just hurt yourself more.

But we don't stop there! We play postseason too. Whoever you got on your roster who's on an NFL playoff team plays for you automatically. We reset the points to zero, and play a separate pool for postseason, points only. Makes the waiver wire the last couple of regular-season weeks crazy as everyone drops their non-playoff players & picks up third-string Tight Ends on playoff teams.

After 25 years we've perfected fantasy football. Ain't over 'til triple zeroes on the clock at the Super Bowl.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
