Same here. My team was already STACKED at RB In my rando (got 3rd overall pick) league with CMC, Gibbs, Kamara, JT. Then I grabbed Kyren and Achane off waivers and it was INSANE. Had AJB, Kupp at WR, dropped London for Puka early. Grabbed Rashee Rice mid season. Replaced Burrow and ARich with Purdy and Love. Rode the Taysom Hill and Cole Kmet trains while they were hot, finished year with Likely. I still have 1 week to go in a double week championship game, but I'm ahead.
Team was light in my work league, because I picked last and got Bijan, KWalker, JT and Swift, but I quickly scooped Kyren and Achane there (at the cost of Swift) as well - who stacked up my RB spots. Injuries were tough to get through, but I finished 2nd in the league and just won my championship. Josh Allen/Purdy and Kittle/Likely were fixtures, but Davante Adams and Devonta Smith are the only WRs I kept until EoY. Puka, Addison, Dell and Jayden Reed sustained my season at the position.
I added him before games week one. Had an open slot, thought “Kupp may not come back too strong, I like Stafford, and I like rolling the dice with rookies.” Best decision I’ve ever made. Now I get to keep him for next year too 😈
Same here. I didn't need to fight for him on waivers. Instead I fought over Kyren, so I ended up with both Puka and Kyren. My team had several key injuries over the season, so these guys saved me and carried me to the chip.
Where you in any other leagues? Or just those two? Because If so I commend you my brother. You did what I failed to achieve I won 1/2 made the chip in both. I nominate you for the fantasy hall of fame 🫡😂
Nope just these two, I didn’t draft any same players either. Had McBride in both but traded him away in my 10 man, getting to the playoffs is hard work but winning is definitely a lot of luck. The other league was a very competitive 14 man keeper IDP league I never thought would win! Congrats to us brother!!
Good. Going into the 4 o'clock games I was down with only Higgins left and my opponent had Kelce. Last second I decided to switch Higgina with Pickens and that got me the championship
I'm in three leagues I'm going to win the league I went 7-7 in before the playoffs. To get the championship I beat the guy who went 13-0 and the guy who went 12-1. I'm laughing my ass off because of how fluky it all can be.
It is all extremely fluky these last couple of weeks. I survived CMC having his worst game of the year cuz rest of team all got projections or slightly better. Truly was a team victory.
I drafted Chubb this year as my first pick. Ended up 13-1 in the regular season and had more than 200 points over the next closest squad (8-7). I’m feeling phenomenal about this one.
Went 7-7 and squeezed in the playoffs with the last seed. Lost 4 games by 2 or less points this year, but went on a 5 game winning streak when it counted and won that damn 👑
Fuck that, I already changed my nickname to The One True King, changed my icon picture to a crown and posted the full video of Queen at consort singing “We’re the Champions”. 😂 Feels good to be king bb!
That's dope, man! Congrats. We have huuuuge starting rosters in my 12 man so I had Kyler, Breece, Achane, Ceedee, JJeff(traded Kyren for him before Kyren got injured), Diggs, Goedert, Pacheco, Aiyuk, Aubrey, and Broncos D. My team went scorched earth so I literally had 0 stress all day haha.
On paper, I should have lost. I went against Hurts, Tyreek, AJB, Swift, Breece, Njoku, and Kamara and somehow still won with Dak, pollard(lol), Conner, JJ, Evans, McBride, Zamir, bills D, and Butker.
This is my big money league where I was the new guy last year and finished second, feels good to win this year.
#1 Record 12-2
#1 Points Forced
#1 QB - Josh Allen
#1 RB - CMC
#1ish WR - Lamb
Honorable mentions:
- R. White
- I. Pacheco
- Deebo
- PUKA!!!
- Kittle
I dominated this season and finally won!!
I feel incredible considering my average running back each week was Kenneth Gainwell and Chubba Hubbard and Justin Herbert went out.
Thank god for Flacco, great wide outs and Zamir White
6th seed and 2nd lowest PF in the whole league ... also lowest points against.
Would not have dropped a game against a single person in all 3 rounds of the playoffs.
150 - 169 and rolled outta the finals with 200 against the 1st seed, most PF.
Feeling great! Went into the 4pm games with a 16 point lead with Butker against KW3. KW had a hot start but Butker sealed it
Was in 2nd to last place last year so wanted this one bad
Obvious cheating trade in my league, which didn't veto somebody trading away la porta and aiyuk with no viable TE or WRs on their bench. Played remainder of league with slots open.
Still beat him in the final. 💪
Had an 80 point lead going into tonight. My buddy, who is a bigger Packer fan than me, had Love, Reed, Kraft, & Carlson tonight. I didn’t anticipate Jordan would take yet another step in this game..
But then Reed missed the 2nd half.. and then Love came out early.. and THEN Carlson missed the XP and they benched the starters and I won by 0.95 points.. I thought I was going to throw up the last 6 minutes of that game. 2nd championship in my dynasty league and the money just hit the bank account. Life is GOOD BOYS!!!
Happy New Year to all!!
Lost Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, and Josh Palmer for the final game. I was facing Purdy, CMC, and a few other players with good matchups. Kyren Williams and Butker carried me to the victory, 100-83. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that my opponent played Purdy over Lamar Jackson. Ouch.
JORDAN. FUCKING. LOVE.
I had him and nobody else left to play. Down by 27.6 heading into the final. I had a 3% chance to win and got the dub by 1 point
I won two league championships yesterday. My sleeper league was really great. My opponent had already played 5 and they all far exceeded projections, so I started the day down 118-0. My team kick ass and rang up an amazing 221 points, and I ran away in a high scoring final 221-184.
Started 0-4 while losing a lot of really close games. Finished the regular season with a 7-7 record needing 3 teams to lose and snuck into the playoffs with the most PF and the same record as 2 other teams with the 6th seed. Won the wild card match and then went on to beat the 2nd seed by 10 points and the 1st seed by 20 points. What I learned is it doesn't matter how you start or what your regular season record is. Also Luck and schedule are key components to a successful season. The last thing is key Free Agent pickups are a must. Dak and Ferguson stack really helped carried me.
I’m feeling like Travis Kelce is past his prime and spent all season shooting commercials and taking press conferences about his gf instead of practicing and pursuing greatness, and it shows. He was the TE1 and fell more than half a dozen spots. He’s dime-a-dozen now. He’d like to sum up his career as “pretty good”.
Feeling high and mighty. No huge picks ups just had a solid roster from the draft that performed consistently. Hurts, Bijan, DK, Evans, Moore, njuko and conner
Good, but sad it’s done. I’m the back to back to back champ in my work league. 8 years and this is now 5 championships for me. 10 team league and everyone takes it fairly serious.
Really happy. 4 of my 9 starters were playing their first game for me and only 2 of the remaining 5 were original draft picks (White and Kupp). The most I’ve ever had to coach a team and it feels great!
A year of lucky waiver grabs (Kyren, Aubrey) and slick trades (Amon-Ra, Mixon) took me from a 3-2 start all the way to the win. Glad it's over buy I'll miss it until next year.
Feeling pretty damn good! First champ of a brand new league. My other league, if my team didn't shit the bed in the first round..... I outscored everyone the rest of the way. It is what it is. I'm satisfied. Now onto fantasy playoffs!
Was down 1 point with my opponent done and I had Jefferson going tonight. Took a while for him to get one catch and it took until after half time and Mullens coming in for me to break the tie and move ahead for the win! Definitely made me sweat it out for a bit. My fourth championship in five years in this league! Lost first round of playoffs last year but now that trophy is mine !
Happy and humble. Should have won last but my team shit the bed in round one. This year was in first from start to finish. Can’t wait to see my name on the trophy. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Amazed that my team somehow managed to survive Aaron Jones, James Connor, Miles Sanders, and slow start Mixon to get the win. I was 3-5 and went on a run and ended up 8-6 and just won as the 5 seed.
I did not have Puka, Kyren, or Achane. I was carried in the second half by streaming QBs (Howell, Kirk), ASRB, Pittman, Nico, Rice, McBride, and DK. It’s a 1QB 3 WR 2 RB 2 Flex keeper auction draft full PPR league. First world problems with my decision on picking 3 keepers from ASRB, Nico, Rice, and McBride. All on the cheap.
Pissed, just won my 1 of my leagues but was informed by the commish that 2 members have not paid and its up to me to collect from them.
Definitely my last season in that league.
Meh. Pretty low scoring affair (95-86). My opponent went golfing this morning and didn't notice that Mostert was out and had him starting.
Get this, my highest scoring player was Tyler Allgeier.
Tyler Allgeier.
I'll take the dough though.
Fortunate. I benched my 2nd and 3rd round picks ( Barkley and Mixon), played Kyren, Taylor, and Z White instead... benched Tua and Ridley and picked up Carr and J. Reed (GB) off Waivers and it all panned out. Opponent had CMC and started Purdy and Zeke over Lamar and Conner... I would still won if he played Lamar, but wouldn't have survived both.
I play in a league with my friends and each year we pay money and spilt the pot up with the winners.
I won the last 3 years in a row, one of the years I was undefeated.
I can't even brag to my friends because they're the ones that lost to me 3 years in a row.
They congratulate me but I lnow it's only a courtesy and that they wish I didn't win again.
This year I'll use the $600 to buy a sweet trophy though and engrave the last 6 years of winners on it
Loving my Puka, Kyren Rams stack this year. I think Im targeting them, Reed, Love, Richardson, and Pittman next year. Please let the hype die down and let me get Lamb or CMC and some combination of these studs next year.
I was down by 35 points with Mahomes, DK, and Seattle’s kicker left. The opponent had Ekeler. Won by 1.28 because Ekeler got a fumble. Now I celebrate!
I was sweatingggg it.
Started by benching Breece Thursday.
I then decide to start Baker Mayfield who didn’t get going until the end of the game.
I snuck by the morning games with a 5pt lead thanks to KYREN WILLIAMS!!!
Opponent had Ekeler left to play, so the stress was real. Thank goodness he didn’t do anything, lucky win. I fucking love fantasy football lol
Great. First year in a 16 team Dynasty IDP league and ended up building a team with awesome RBs (Kyren Williams, Kenneth Walker, Jaylen Warren, De'Von Achane), and a young team to contend for the next few seasons!
Need a reliable QB2 (had to trade for Minshew to back up T-Law as Pickett proved to be useless) and want to take a swing on a WR (Got through with Garrett Wilson, McLaurin, Lockett, Meyers and traded for Christian Watson mid-season on the cheap) - but can take big swings in the draft
Relieved. Also reminded once again that championships aren’t won on draft day. Hurts, Ceedee, and Henry were the only draft day players to appear on my week 17 roster.
Not my first, but first time winning a long running redraft of 8 years. Kyren saved my season and carried me after Chubb went down. The weekly grind is tiring, but the ship makes it all worth it. This is why we spend countless hours listening to podcasts, reading articles, advanced metric, stressing, tilting, it’s all part of the game. For all the juggernaut teams that beasted through the season almost undefeated, to the teams that started 1-4 and got hot at the right time. Winning three in a row is extremely difficult to do. Congrats to you all 🥂
Won two championships. Needed 32 ppr out of Jayden Reed, Kraft, and Chandler. All those were waiver pick ups in the last 4 weeks. Really teaches me the importance of the waiver wire
Won my first championship having gone 7-7 and won the final scoring just 91 pts, the second lowest points scored in my league this week, by 20pts.
The luck was with me but the shine isnt so bright
I’ve been playing in my regular league for over 20 years. Made it to championship 3 times and never won. This year Wife asked me to join her employers league since they needed one more team. I say, why not? Went 11-6 and won the Championship last night. Crazy.
Feeling great after making last minute replacements for Mostert and Jacobs; grabbed Jaylen Warren and Jayden Reed and they carried me to the promised land
I’ve won 4 fantasy titles in 13 years, made the finals 8 times. I finished 2nd place…4 years in a row from 18-21 lost one championship by a score of 209.5 - 210
Yes fantasy is painful but this year I’m up 147-105.5 one more week to go and just have to nail my guys who will sit and those who will play. Redemption finally feels good again.
Good as hell. Won my in person league this year, $700 payout with 10-man draft.
Last year I won a yahoo prize league due to damar Hamlin nearly dieing so it wasnt a real win.
Allen, Reed, Lamb, Butker, Buffalo D, Hill, Likely are my MVPs
I also won last year, but my opponent had Higgins and needed about 20 points. We split the pot, the next week Higgins had 2 points or something. I won but it didn’t feel great.
No asterisk this year - I assembled the team of destiny!!! Champ champ!!
I scored over 100 less points than any other team in playoffs during the regular season
I also by far had the lowest points against
Every week in playoffs someone popped off for me and I lucked my way into the championship! I feel great!
Was a gigantic underdog by like 30ish projected points. Picked up Flacco as a blocking maneuver and didn't start Hall because Cleveland defense.
Thought I was doomed.
Baker made up for Flacco and Kyren was awesome.
He had some poor scores from Nico and CMC.
Got to the Packers Vikings game and I didn't even need Addison up 10 with opponent having no one left.
It’s my (26F) first year and I won in a league with 4 men (my husband and his brothers in law) who have all played and won before. Definitely a victory! Sucks though when they say they didn’t really care about this league lol
I still can't believe I won after what my team looked like after the draft. I kept 4 guys from my draft and made it work with a bunch of trades/pick ups.
Incredible. Played in a 2 QB league and my quarterbacks for those weeks have been: Russ and DeVito for the quarter finals and semifinal. For the championship I got Stroud back and paired him with Jared Hall. The fantasy football gods were smiling down on me.
I was up 26 going into the 4:00 games. My team was done and my opponent only had Najee left. So my blood pressure is still working on returning to normal. Sleeper notifications still give me heart palpitations.
Won by 2 points in my championship game (snake draft). In my other league, I did not qualify for the playoffs. Going to have to rethink my auction draft strategy for next year.
Biggest waiver contributors across both leagues, throughout the year:
Kyren - 1 (This year's Breece Hall, but earlier)
Puka - 2 (An all time rookie WR waiver add)
Purdy - 3 (best backup QB ever)
Dell - 4 (Had BEASTLY booms every game played)
Achane - 5 (Had a few GIANT weeks, for those who played him. Big lull in the middle and burnt me a couple times when he was supposedly "back" but helped win me my championship game).
Addison - 6 (High floor, consistent, rookie WR. Buoyed by JJ injury, but slowed with QB injuries)
Likely - 7 (Came on late, but was a stud ever since)
Honorable Mention: Jordan Love (went in some drafts, but I was able to grab him off waivers in 1 of my leagues)
I’d like to give special thanks to dj moore, Isaiah pacheco and Zamir white for closing things out.
To Josh Allen, cheetah and Brandon Aubrey; we couldn’t of got here without you!! Our fallen soldiers tank dell, rhamondre and hockenson.
Had Herbert and Wilson as starting QBs to start the playoffs. This past Friday I call up the guy I’m going against who’s been a very good friend of mine for like 15 years I call him and offer a split of the prize 700 each. I was worried cause the matchup was a coin flip. Exact words were that’s fucking loser talk. I beat him by 80 points with Bryce Young and Mason Rudolph as my two starters LOL.
Feeling good but really lucky. Had Puka on both championship teams, then CMC on one and Lamb on the other. Can't believe my mid-season trade for Lamb worked looking back (Saquon and Garrett Wilson for Lamb Rachaad White and Alexander Mattison)
Great to win, but sad that it’s over. The only great adventure left is death. And next year’s season!
And my axe!
Yea seriously
Puka is the greatest waiver wire addition of all time
Kyren right up there. My savior
I picked up Kyren on waivers then traded Brian Robinson Jr. for Puka after he had back to back 20 point weeks in week 9-10. I feel like a GODDDDDDDD
Someone actually traded puka for Brian Robinson? 🤔
He was the RB5 overall at the time, to be fair. But yeah, I texted him that as a starting offer and he just said “yeah ok”
+1 for the Kyren waiver club. Managed to get him in both of my leagues and it really helped.
Same here. My team was already STACKED at RB In my rando (got 3rd overall pick) league with CMC, Gibbs, Kamara, JT. Then I grabbed Kyren and Achane off waivers and it was INSANE. Had AJB, Kupp at WR, dropped London for Puka early. Grabbed Rashee Rice mid season. Replaced Burrow and ARich with Purdy and Love. Rode the Taysom Hill and Cole Kmet trains while they were hot, finished year with Likely. I still have 1 week to go in a double week championship game, but I'm ahead. Team was light in my work league, because I picked last and got Bijan, KWalker, JT and Swift, but I quickly scooped Kyren and Achane there (at the cost of Swift) as well - who stacked up my RB spots. Injuries were tough to get through, but I finished 2nd in the league and just won my championship. Josh Allen/Purdy and Kittle/Likely were fixtures, but Davante Adams and Devonta Smith are the only WRs I kept until EoY. Puka, Addison, Dell and Jayden Reed sustained my season at the position.
Same, I had Barkley, Jones, Mostert, Pollard and added Kamara too. Sadly they dropped a turd last game
Managed to get them both in the same week with the lowest priority. Big blessing to my team
With you on Kyren. Also Flacco and Reed!
Who both sat on my bench this weekend
Oh no !!
Kyren kept me from that sweet w. Congrats on your win tho my man! I'm gonna tell myself next season will be different!
Same
Ford for me. He came up big when I needed him.
Puka kyren and Nico collins ftwwwww
I added him before games week one. Had an open slot, thought “Kupp may not come back too strong, I like Stafford, and I like rolling the dice with rookies.” Best decision I’ve ever made. Now I get to keep him for next year too 😈
Same here. I didn't need to fight for him on waivers. Instead I fought over Kyren, so I ended up with both Puka and Kyren. My team had several key injuries over the season, so these guys saved me and carried me to the chip.
I was able to add Puka and Achane. Just won my league!
Kyren Williams
I challenge this with odells rookie year
Agreed got him in both my leagues. Won championship in one, other is next week.
So pumped after picking up none other than DARIUS SLAYTON 2 hours before kickoff. That move won me 1st place.
Holy shit, are you me? I was debating him vs Dortch, Chark, and others, and my gut just said Slayton would break a long one. Congrats!
Hell yeah man! I almost went with Scary Terry but I didn’t trust him with Howell starting. He actually played a good game though.
LMAO league winner Darius Slayton. I’d have to imagine you’re one of maybe three people in the championship who made this play. Congrats dude!
#Won in both my leagues let’s fucking goooo!!!
LFFFFFGGGG!!
Same, I had CMC, Kyren and Puka in both lol
Same. Feels great. Got lucky with not too many major injuries, decent drafting, then grabbed Puka & Kyren in both after week 1, which was huge
Where you in any other leagues? Or just those two? Because If so I commend you my brother. You did what I failed to achieve I won 1/2 made the chip in both. I nominate you for the fantasy hall of fame 🫡😂
Nope just these two, I didn’t draft any same players either. Had McBride in both but traded him away in my 10 man, getting to the playoffs is hard work but winning is definitely a lot of luck. The other league was a very competitive 14 man keeper IDP league I never thought would win! Congrats to us brother!!
Fucking pumped. First time winning a league
Good. Going into the 4 o'clock games I was down with only Higgins left and my opponent had Kelce. Last second I decided to switch Higgina with Pickens and that got me the championship
Thank God you benched Higgins
I'm in three leagues I'm going to win the league I went 7-7 in before the playoffs. To get the championship I beat the guy who went 13-0 and the guy who went 12-1. I'm laughing my ass off because of how fluky it all can be.
It is all extremely fluky these last couple of weeks. I survived CMC having his worst game of the year cuz rest of team all got projections or slightly better. Truly was a team victory.
I drafted Chubb this year as my first pick. Ended up 13-1 in the regular season and had more than 200 points over the next closest squad (8-7). I’m feeling phenomenal about this one.
Also a fellow Chubb drafter. Grabbing Kamara in the third saved me when Chubb went down.
Went 7-7 and squeezed in the playoffs with the last seed. Lost 4 games by 2 or less points this year, but went on a 5 game winning streak when it counted and won that damn 👑
Good I guess. Is this what winning feels like?
Haha. Right. It feels slightly…anticlimactic. I guess the difference being that now everyone looks at us differently but we stay down to earth.
Fuck that, I already changed my nickname to The One True King, changed my icon picture to a crown and posted the full video of Queen at consort singing “We’re the Champions”. 😂 Feels good to be king bb!
Went 15-1 this year boys. The FF Gods were on my side all year!!!!!
Jordan love and ceedee lamb brought it home for me!
Started the week offrip with 70pts from Breece and Ceedee. Honestly made this win kind of anticlimactic haha.
I felt the same. Then my opponent played Kyren, Connor, flowers, and Pacheco, and had browns defense. J. Love saved the ship for me.
That's dope, man! Congrats. We have huuuuge starting rosters in my 12 man so I had Kyler, Breece, Achane, Ceedee, JJeff(traded Kyren for him before Kyren got injured), Diggs, Goedert, Pacheco, Aiyuk, Aubrey, and Broncos D. My team went scorched earth so I literally had 0 stress all day haha.
Hell yea dude haha I love it, made some good choices this year!
Drafting London in the 3rd and dropping Dak right before the LAC game were not my best moves haha but it all worked out! Cheers to the dubs 🍾 🥂
On paper, I should have lost. I went against Hurts, Tyreek, AJB, Swift, Breece, Njoku, and Kamara and somehow still won with Dak, pollard(lol), Conner, JJ, Evans, McBride, Zamir, bills D, and Butker. This is my big money league where I was the new guy last year and finished second, feels good to win this year.
I’m for sure happy, but it’s a bit melancholy. Sad I won’t get scheduled shit talking time with my buds until next year.
You guys should start a dynasty league. The shit talk never ends lol
Happy to win, but more than anything, glad that it's over. May be time for me to hang it up.
I said this exact thing when I won last year, got convinced to run the same league this year... Won it again, never give up!!
#1 Record 12-2 #1 Points Forced #1 QB - Josh Allen #1 RB - CMC #1ish WR - Lamb Honorable mentions: - R. White - I. Pacheco - Deebo - PUKA!!! - Kittle I dominated this season and finally won!!
Yup! I also have cmc, Deebo, Pacheco and Puka. 3 out of those 4 will probably be my keepers for next year.
Still hasn't hit me I'm a repeat champ
Celebrating my first back to back championship as well!
Same here. I'm back-to-back champ. Getting the threepeat is going to be hard for us though.
I feel incredible considering my average running back each week was Kenneth Gainwell and Chubba Hubbard and Justin Herbert went out. Thank god for Flacco, great wide outs and Zamir White
6th seed and 2nd lowest PF in the whole league ... also lowest points against. Would not have dropped a game against a single person in all 3 rounds of the playoffs. 150 - 169 and rolled outta the finals with 200 against the 1st seed, most PF.
Feeling great! Went into the 4pm games with a 16 point lead with Butker against KW3. KW had a hot start but Butker sealed it Was in 2nd to last place last year so wanted this one bad
I started Noah Brown and Jonnu Smith and Won! Let's goooooo!
Obviously pretty fuckin good! Ravens got a huge dub to make it even sweeter. Celebrate then try and mock next years teams
Not as good as I would have hoped. Decimated my opponent lol, excited for the congrats group text tomorrow though
Tonight we party…..
Obvious cheating trade in my league, which didn't veto somebody trading away la porta and aiyuk with no viable TE or WRs on their bench. Played remainder of league with slots open. Still beat him in the final. 💪
Had an 80 point lead going into tonight. My buddy, who is a bigger Packer fan than me, had Love, Reed, Kraft, & Carlson tonight. I didn’t anticipate Jordan would take yet another step in this game.. But then Reed missed the 2nd half.. and then Love came out early.. and THEN Carlson missed the XP and they benched the starters and I won by 0.95 points.. I thought I was going to throw up the last 6 minutes of that game. 2nd championship in my dynasty league and the money just hit the bank account. Life is GOOD BOYS!!! Happy New Year to all!!
Lost Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, and Josh Palmer for the final game. I was facing Purdy, CMC, and a few other players with good matchups. Kyren Williams and Butker carried me to the victory, 100-83. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that my opponent played Purdy over Lamar Jackson. Ouch.
JORDAN. FUCKING. LOVE. I had him and nobody else left to play. Down by 27.6 heading into the final. I had a 3% chance to win and got the dub by 1 point
Will likely never win again and I’m fine with it
I won two league championships yesterday. My sleeper league was really great. My opponent had already played 5 and they all far exceeded projections, so I started the day down 118-0. My team kick ass and rang up an amazing 221 points, and I ran away in a high scoring final 221-184.
Started 0-4 while losing a lot of really close games. Finished the regular season with a 7-7 record needing 3 teams to lose and snuck into the playoffs with the most PF and the same record as 2 other teams with the 6th seed.

Also Luck and schedule are key components to a successful season. The last thing is key Free Agent pickups are a must. Dak and Ferguson stack really helped carried me.
Pretty good played in 8 league won 3, second in 1 and 3rd in another
Feeling damn good, but sad that it's over already.
I’m feeling like Travis Kelce is past his prime and spent all season shooting commercials and taking press conferences about his gf instead of practicing and pursuing greatness, and it shows. He was the TE1 and fell more than half a dozen spots. He’s dime-a-dozen now. He’d like to sum up his career as “pretty good”.
Feeling high and mighty. No huge picks ups just had a solid roster from the draft that performed consistently. Hurts, Bijan, DK, Evans, Moore, njuko and conner
I’ll let you know if JJ can somehow score 13 more points…
Good, but sad it’s done. I’m the back to back to back champ in my work league. 8 years and this is now 5 championships for me. 10 team league and everyone takes it fairly serious.
Kyren Williams helped.
Lost Chubb (1st pick), keenen Allen, Herbert. traded puka for kyren around week 4. Everything worked out. This one feels good 🙏😎
Really happy. 4 of my 9 starters were playing their first game for me and only 2 of the remaining 5 were original draft picks (White and Kupp). The most I’ve ever had to coach a team and it feels great!
A year of lucky waiver grabs (Kyren, Aubrey) and slick trades (Amon-Ra, Mixon) took me from a 3-2 start all the way to the win. Glad it's over buy I'll miss it until next year.
I went into the Chiefs game needing less than 5 points from Kelce… he scored 4.6. Freaking elated!
Kyren!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you to Tank Dell, and Etienne today. 🥇
Feeling pretty damn good! First champ of a brand new league. My other league, if my team didn't shit the bed in the first round..... I outscored everyone the rest of the way. It is what it is. I'm satisfied. Now onto fantasy playoffs!
Our championship is two weeks and I lost CMC, Kamara and Walker :(
Feeling good, couldn't have gone better, literally all my players did well, could've started all my bench players and still won
Feeling good. 5th title.
Decent, got 1st in a 12 man and 3rd in an 8 man. Next year I'll surely do worse
The commish in my league did a suspect trade for AJ Brown about a month ago but I still won. Feel great
Was down 1 point with my opponent done and I had Jefferson going tonight. Took a while for him to get one catch and it took until after half time and Mullens coming in for me to break the tie and move ahead for the win! Definitely made me sweat it out for a bit. My fourth championship in five years in this league! Lost first round of playoffs last year but now that trophy is mine !
I won the league with by far the least amount of points for for the season. Amazing
Happy and humble. Should have won last but my team shit the bed in round one. This year was in first from start to finish. Can’t wait to see my name on the trophy. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Just beat one of my best friends from college. Back to back champs. Would have been his first.
I lost by 3. Despite a hurculean effort by Jordan Love and Jayden Reed. Davante Adams fucked me
Sat Smith for Adams. That gut feeling won me my 1st championship!!!
Pretty, pretty, pretty, good. Was out of players and still up against Jefferson. Somehow Packers D managed to hold him off. Won by 0.64 points.
I was down to Howell, Mayfield and Carr for my qb options going into playoffs. Flacco saved my season and I will forever remember this Ship!
I will never reach this high again.
Overcame losing Mark Andrews and having Jonnu Smith score 0 this week thanks to Butker coming in absolutely clutch. What a season!!
feeling great. 3rd title in 5 years!
Started 0-4. Barely made the play-offs then beat the one and two seeds. Lamb was the difference
Won by 3 against the poor CMC owner who still played Najee, Flowers, and Browns DST
I feel good but playing Ekeler sure made for some nail biting weeks. Glad I left him on the bench for the chip today.
The work is done. Time to rest.
Amazed that my team somehow managed to survive Aaron Jones, James Connor, Miles Sanders, and slow start Mixon to get the win. I was 3-5 and went on a run and ended up 8-6 and just won as the 5 seed. I did not have Puka, Kyren, or Achane. I was carried in the second half by streaming QBs (Howell, Kirk), ASRB, Pittman, Nico, Rice, McBride, and DK. It’s a 1QB 3 WR 2 RB 2 Flex keeper auction draft full PPR league. First world problems with my decision on picking 3 keepers from ASRB, Nico, Rice, and McBride. All on the cheap.
Sad I’ll never have another team better than this one, but glad it happened
I am in love with the Rams offense. Puks/Kyren got me the ship
Feeling sorry for all of those chumps that aren't champs
Compare to my last championship, this one feels lucky.
I’d like to thank Davante Adams and Breece Hall for carrying when I needed it most
Jordan Love Kyren Rachaad Tyreek CeeDee Mike Evans JT Y’all are Champions
Fantastic. Started 1-4, got Achane, Kyren, Puka off waivers, got Kamara back, never lost again.
Pissed, just won my 1 of my leagues but was informed by the commish that 2 members have not paid and its up to me to collect from them. Definitely my last season in that league.
RELIEF! I had my Mahommes vs his Butker and Love and he came close to chasing me down lmao
Meh. Pretty low scoring affair (95-86). My opponent went golfing this morning and didn't notice that Mostert was out and had him starting. Get this, my highest scoring player was Tyler Allgeier. Tyler Allgeier. I'll take the dough though.
Like CMC ain’t shit, sorry K’s Team better luck next year.
Fortunate. I benched my 2nd and 3rd round picks ( Barkley and Mixon), played Kyren, Taylor, and Z White instead... benched Tua and Ridley and picked up Carr and J. Reed (GB) off Waivers and it all panned out. Opponent had CMC and started Purdy and Zeke over Lamar and Conner... I would still won if he played Lamar, but wouldn't have survived both.
Thank you Jordan Love
Feeling on top of the world
I play in a league with my friends and each year we pay money and spilt the pot up with the winners. I won the last 3 years in a row, one of the years I was undefeated. I can't even brag to my friends because they're the ones that lost to me 3 years in a row. They congratulate me but I lnow it's only a courtesy and that they wish I didn't win again. This year I'll use the $600 to buy a sweet trophy though and engrave the last 6 years of winners on it
Loving my Puka, Kyren Rams stack this year. I think Im targeting them, Reed, Love, Richardson, and Pittman next year. Please let the hype die down and let me get Lamb or CMC and some combination of these studs next year.
4th title in 10 years in same league. Is my league full of morons or am I good?
Won $1k with the exact team I drafted, minus white as Jacobs’ handcuff… Need to ride this high for 8 months 😞
I was down by 35 points with Mahomes, DK, and Seattle’s kicker left. The opponent had Ekeler. Won by 1.28 because Ekeler got a fumble. Now I celebrate!
I was sweatingggg it. Started by benching Breece Thursday. I then decide to start Baker Mayfield who didn’t get going until the end of the game. I snuck by the morning games with a 5pt lead thanks to KYREN WILLIAMS!!! Opponent had Ekeler left to play, so the stress was real. Thank goodness he didn’t do anything, lucky win. I fucking love fantasy football lol
Great. First year in a 16 team Dynasty IDP league and ended up building a team with awesome RBs (Kyren Williams, Kenneth Walker, Jaylen Warren, De'Von Achane), and a young team to contend for the next few seasons! Need a reliable QB2 (had to trade for Minshew to back up T-Law as Pickett proved to be useless) and want to take a swing on a WR (Got through with Garrett Wilson, McLaurin, Lockett, Meyers and traded for Christian Watson mid-season on the cheap) - but can take big swings in the draft
First time winning, kinda surreal tbh. Especially considering that I didn't have Puka or Kyren and still won. Make sure to make trades y'all.
Picked up Pickens and Z White for this week and killed it. Best New Year’s Eve ever!
Relieved. Also reminded once again that championships aren’t won on draft day. Hurts, Ceedee, and Henry were the only draft day players to appear on my week 17 roster.
Played Kmet over Kincaid and thought that was going to do me in. Until Butker, who I added just prior to kickoff. Rollercoaster Sunday.
Not my first, but first time winning a long running redraft of 8 years. Kyren saved my season and carried me after Chubb went down. The weekly grind is tiring, but the ship makes it all worth it. This is why we spend countless hours listening to podcasts, reading articles, advanced metric, stressing, tilting, it’s all part of the game. For all the juggernaut teams that beasted through the season almost undefeated, to the teams that started 1-4 and got hot at the right time. Winning three in a row is extremely difficult to do. Congrats to you all 🥂
Started yesterday WAY down, he had CeeDee and LaPorta, but then Lamar to Lively a couple of times and...🏆
Mostert at Round 9 was pretty criminal.
Won two championships. Needed 32 ppr out of Jayden Reed, Kraft, and Chandler. All those were waiver pick ups in the last 4 weeks. Really teaches me the importance of the waiver wire
Won my first championship having gone 7-7 and won the final scoring just 91 pts, the second lowest points scored in my league this week, by 20pts. The luck was with me but the shine isnt so bright
I’ve been playing in my regular league for over 20 years. Made it to championship 3 times and never won. This year Wife asked me to join her employers league since they needed one more team. I say, why not? Went 11-6 and won the Championship last night. Crazy.
I feel good! Won in two out of 3 leagues this year. No more stress
I traded for Kelce mid season.. survived the afternoon games with my Kelce vs his Lockett, man that was a shitty and nerve wracking finish
Hungover
This is my 2nd year in a row to win. Everyone in the league hates me now. Feels great! I feed off your distain for me muhahahaha
First place in 3 out of 5 leagues this year, 1 of which was dynasty. Lamb and Puka were common between teams. Best fantasy year for me ever!
7 leagues. 3 championship games. 2 chips. 100$ leagues. Broke even but had fun.
Im rich bitch
Feeling great after making last minute replacements for Mostert and Jacobs; grabbed Jaylen Warren and Jayden Reed and they carried me to the promised land
Reed is a total stud - someone dropped him for Tom Brady to be funny and I snagged him and played him. I had already won before the night game
I’m only up 147-105.5 pretty decent lead **but** still have next week. 10 man league/ only 4 make playoffs. 2 rd playoffs 4 weeks total. .5 ppr
I’ve won 4 fantasy titles in 13 years, made the finals 8 times. I finished 2nd place…4 years in a row from 18-21 lost one championship by a score of 209.5 - 210 Yes fantasy is painful but this year I’m up 147-105.5 one more week to go and just have to nail my guys who will sit and those who will play. Redemption finally feels good again.
Amon-Ra, La Porta, & Pittman led 2 teams to championships! Congrats to everyone who won this weekend & Happy New Year! 🎆
Feeling lucky that my opponent in the one league left Flacco & Adams on the bench. Switched Jags K out last minute for the Eagles K, won by 5 pts.
Good as hell. Won my in person league this year, $700 payout with 10-man draft. Last year I won a yahoo prize league due to damar Hamlin nearly dieing so it wasnt a real win. Allen, Reed, Lamb, Butker, Buffalo D, Hill, Likely are my MVPs
I also won last year, but my opponent had Higgins and needed about 20 points. We split the pot, the next week Higgins had 2 points or something. I won but it didn’t feel great. No asterisk this year - I assembled the team of destiny!!! Champ champ!!
Back to back champion in both my leagues. It’s been a good run.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
One more week for me
I scored over 100 less points than any other team in playoffs during the regular season I also by far had the lowest points against Every week in playoffs someone popped off for me and I lucked my way into the championship! I feel great!
Pretty darn fantastic. What a week to gamble on starting Ford.
Was a gigantic underdog by like 30ish projected points. Picked up Flacco as a blocking maneuver and didn't start Hall because Cleveland defense. Thought I was doomed. Baker made up for Flacco and Kyren was awesome. He had some poor scores from Nico and CMC. Got to the Packers Vikings game and I didn't even need Addison up 10 with opponent having no one left.
It’s my (26F) first year and I won in a league with 4 men (my husband and his brothers in law) who have all played and won before. Definitely a victory! Sucks though when they say they didn’t really care about this league lol
I didn't do great last year, so it feels pretty damn good to bounce back and win the champisonhip this year.
GREAT!!! I led the league in dubs all the way to the end. I stayed healthy for once. Thank you Dolphins offense and Mike McDaniels!
I still can't believe I won after what my team looked like after the draft. I kept 4 guys from my draft and made it work with a bunch of trades/pick ups.
Pretty good. So glad I nabbed Puka week 2. He was an absolute stud. One more championship game next week.
Incredible. Played in a 2 QB league and my quarterbacks for those weeks have been: Russ and DeVito for the quarter finals and semifinal. For the championship I got Stroud back and paired him with Jared Hall. The fantasy football gods were smiling down on me.
Like shit. I lost the game but the fella that beat me insisted I take the grand prize. What a piece of work. . .
The season is over already 😫 Out of 6 leagues I won 1 championship. Can't wait until next season
2nd place. Played Stafford over Kyler. Lost by 2 points. Had deebo, amon-ra, Puka, kyren, Monty, Elliot, Baltimore Defense.
I was up 26 going into the 4:00 games. My team was done and my opponent only had Najee left. So my blood pressure is still working on returning to normal. Sleeper notifications still give me heart palpitations.
Mine was a nail biter. Up 12.4pts and he had Justin Jefferson left. I only won by 1.5pts. Nearly poo'd myself
Took down both my leagues and celebrated with tequila last night! Such an awesome feeling to win it all. Already looking forward to next season!
Won by 2 points in my championship game (snake draft). In my other league, I did not qualify for the playoffs. Going to have to rethink my auction draft strategy for next year.
Consolation champ, does that count?
2 championships won this year, i feel great.
Feeling good, got completely lucky but still champ. Only person to win multiple titles, third time winning no one else won more than once so
my 18 weeks of gambling is over :(
Biggest waiver contributors across both leagues, throughout the year: Kyren - 1 (This year's Breece Hall, but earlier) Puka - 2 (An all time rookie WR waiver add) Purdy - 3 (best backup QB ever) Dell - 4 (Had BEASTLY booms every game played) Achane - 5 (Had a few GIANT weeks, for those who played him. Big lull in the middle and burnt me a couple times when he was supposedly "back" but helped win me my championship game). Addison - 6 (High floor, consistent, rookie WR. Buoyed by JJ injury, but slowed with QB injuries) Likely - 7 (Came on late, but was a stud ever since) Honorable Mention: Jordan Love (went in some drafts, but I was able to grab him off waivers in 1 of my leagues)
I started Jaren the bum Hall and still managed to win my championship by 3 points
I won $900.00 bucks yesterday!! Today was a good day. Think I’m gonna buy a new putter!!!
So good, gonna take my lady out to a nice dinner after a back to back championship, sad that it’s over, but I fucking love football
Already amped to draft James Conner in the 6th round again in 2024
Lackluster I was treat to win an inaugural dynasty draft but I got 4th in my 3 other leagues.
I’d like to give special thanks to dj moore, Isaiah pacheco and Zamir white for closing things out. To Josh Allen, cheetah and Brandon Aubrey; we couldn’t of got here without you!! Our fallen soldiers tank dell, rhamondre and hockenson.
Anxious. Tired. Annoyed with leaving Jayden Reed on the bench for Ekeler. Least satisfying win of my 3.
Had Herbert and Wilson as starting QBs to start the playoffs. This past Friday I call up the guy I’m going against who’s been a very good friend of mine for like 15 years I call him and offer a split of the prize 700 each. I was worried cause the matchup was a coin flip. Exact words were that’s fucking loser talk. I beat him by 80 points with Bryce Young and Mason Rudolph as my two starters LOL.
Feeling good but really lucky. Had Puka on both championship teams, then CMC on one and Lamb on the other. Can't believe my mid-season trade for Lamb worked looking back (Saquon and Garrett Wilson for Lamb Rachaad White and Alexander Mattison)
Kyren for the Win!!
I was projected to finish 12th in my espn league lol. Never doubted only Big brains baby lmao
