Hi fellow de-gens,
Are you 3-7? Are we ~6 teams of 12 make playoffs but you’re in 10th place with everyone else 5-5 or better? Do you need 5 teams to lose out just for you to have a shot on cumulative tie breaker?
How are we handling a must-win for the next 7 weeks? Every week essentially a playoff game? Are we blasting our final faab? Are we tanking because we’re in a keeper or reverse results draft order? Or are we fighting til the last second grasping for oxygen as the titanic slowly fills up with water, while the band continues to play? Praying for a tie between two other bubble teams so you can leapfrog?
It’s not entirely inconceivable, it’s been done, but with schedules falling the way they are, certain matchups where one of the teams HAS to win, essentially eliminating you?
PLEASE TALK ME OFF THE LEDGE !!
OP - got a question for you… how flexible are you with your team right now as the trade deadline approaches?
A league mate is 3-7 and 2nd to last in our 8-team league. He has Ekeler, James Cook, and Zach Moss (so not a great RB group). I tabled an offer of Monty and Breece for Ekeler which I think is pretty fair and gives him a shot at two good backs to make up for missing points with Moss or Cook. He’s hesitant but too much hesitation is going to cost him the playoffs. I have ETN, Jacobs and want to add Ekeler for my playoff run instead of Breece or Monty.
Just wanted to get your thoughts. Giving up big pieces is tough, but you gotta make some moves to try and get in
