Good luck everyone!
I mean I agree that anything can happen, but it would seem silly to totally ignore seeding and getting the matchup that looks clearly better. The first place teams lineup is Zeke, AP, Diggs, Woods, Cooper, Rodgers. The #2 team has mccaffeey, Barkley, Adams, Julio, Cooks, Mahomes.

Here is what I decided to do. I set my lineup as I normally would, including Thielen who plays MNF and Gurley who plays SNF. Then I swapped Lockett in for Humphries at flex who also plays MNF. I also have the chargers kicker and can drop him for the Vikings kicker this afternoon.

So I will evaluate how it is going and if the tank looks plausible I’ll just sit the guys who are playing later in the day or tomorrow.

Lol as I typed this team #2 jumped out to a huge lead with McCaffeey and Julio scoring which probably makes this whole thing moot.

Apparently needs another season and a half to convince the new coach that he is massively superior to Jamaal Williams like he did for the last one, lol NFL coaches.

Cooper is the definition of boom or bust. Obviously you're feeling pretty good if you scooped him up this year off the wire or on the cheap via trade. Ideal spot.

Pretty whacko day. Chiefs guys were looking kind of busty and then all that fourth quarter action. Same with Eagles Boys.

Need to fade 26 vs Cooks and Seattle D in only notable sweat.

In a ten team YPL, $1k buyin, four teams make playoffs. This is the last week of the regular season, the four playoff teams are locked but the order is not. The current order is:

1- not great team with many fewer points than everyone else who skated by on h2h wins. He has one more win than the other three playoff teams.

2 - super solid team, more points than anyone, not the guy that you want to face in the playoffs.

3- me, ok solid team, second most points,

4 - ok solid team, third most points.

This week #1 plays a terrible team out of the playoffs and is somehow projected to win by like 35 points. #2 plays #4 and is projected to win by 15 (but probably a 60/40 situation). I (#3) play a team out of the playoffs and am projected to win by 20 or so.

So it seems like the bad team at #1 is locked into the #1 seed. I am like 70 points ahead of the #4 team and 170 points behind the #2 seed. If #2 beats #4, I would have to lose and score 70 fewer points than #4 to drop into the #4 seed. If #4 beats #2, then I have iOS just have to lose to drop to the #4 seed.

So is this a situation where it makes sense to tank and lose on purpose? If I did so, I would pretty much have to leave empty spots on my roster to score 70 less points than team #4. If I did this is Yahoo going to penalize me in anyway?

Advice appreciated.

Well the tank is about to be in full effect. Team #4 just pulled an epic comeback out of his ass on the back of Kittle and now only needs 4 points from Cooks tonight to beat team #2. Team #1 won as expected. I am down by 21 with Gurley to go tonight against Allen Robinson tonight. He has Cook in his lineup tomorrow and I have Lockett and Thielen. So I should be able to sit both my guys tomorrow, take the loss and face the #1 seed in the playoffs.

Need another team to win to get me into the playoffs (12 team league, 4 make playoffs, I haven't made playoffs ever over 6 years despite twice having the highest score in the league)

Need Gurley + Cooks for 16 in standard, if it doesn't get there I quit

Seems about right. Pray for close game and defensive minded game script. For reference see Bears Rams

Yup, RIP. That is a beat. Most Gurley owners are thanking their lucky stars for having a bye.
