Nobody Wants To Hear About My Fantasy Team: Finale

Posted on by

I got my ass beat, again. 197.40 to 145.35. Even if I would’ve added Nick Foles’ 41.65 points instead of Derek Carr’s 8.05 points, I still would’ve lost. But, that’s my fantasy football life in a nutshell: always making the wrong decision at the worst possible time, only for none of it to matter anyway because I just didn’t have the talent in the first place.

The real story is how Space Forcin’ defeated Beasts in the championship game! Space Forcin’ had a 9.02-point lead heading into Monday Night. He was hampered by a dreadful Rivers performance that got him less than 2 points, as well as a late defensive shift that saw him playing the Browns over either the Dolphins or Jags (either of whom would’ve given him a MUCH healthier cushion). Beasts had Phillip Lindsay going, so it looked pretty great for him to overtake Space Forcin’ and win the trophy yet again.

Then, Lindsay’s hand injury happened. It happened at a point in the game where he only had 7.70 points, and when he was ruled out for the final quarter, the victory was in hand for the miracle Space Forcin’ team! It’s currently a 1.32-point lead, so he’s got to sweat out a few days of potential scoring changes, but assuming the worst doesn’t happen, Space Forcin’ will have his first championship in the 4West4Life Trophy Era.

As for King Flippy Nips, we’ll be under a new name next season, and I’ll be drafting 8th just like I did this year, as I officially finished in 4th place in the league for the umpteenth time.

As the rules stand now, I have 3 keepers to look forward to. My roster to choose from includes:

  • QB – Carson Wentz
  • QB – Jameis Winston
  • QB – Nick Foles
  • QB – Derek Carr
  • RB – Ezekiel Elliott
  • RB – LeVeon Bell
  • RB – Chris Carson
  • RB – Josh Adams
  • RB – Kerryon Johnson
  • WR – Tyreek Hill
  • WR – Adam Thielen
  • WR – Robert Woods
  • WR – Tyler Boyd
  • TE – Cameron Brate
  • K – Ryan Succop
  • DEF – Chicago

Things could obviously change between now and next year when I have to declare, but the keeper-worthy players in my mind are some combo of Wentz, Elliott, Bell, Hill, Thielen, and to a lesser extent Woods. If I had to pick right now, I’d probably lean towards Wentz, Elliott, and Bell; I gotta get SOMETHING out of that fakakta trade!

Our fantasy football league meeting takes place after the Super Bowl, usually in February. And, with it, any number of rules changes, so WHO KNOWS how many keepers we’ll have heading into next year?!

So, that’s that. Nobody wants to hear about my fantasy team, and no one will have to hear about it again for another year.
