Here we are, the penultimate week of the fantasy football regular season coming down to Monday night’s game between Houston and Baltimore, and then… it’s done. One more clash between 32 teams and the playoffs are here. For some, it’s been a hellacious and terrible season full of injuries and underperformers. For others, it’s been an ecstatic ride with Carson Wentzs and Deshaun Watsons inching you toward ultimate glory. But as we know, very few escaped fantasy football heartbreak.
With these final games on the slate, ballsy moves had to be made, and I am witness to multiple Greg Olsen plays this week (even though I advised not to roll him out coming back from injury). But you can’t blame a desperate fantasy owner needing to play whatever studs may exist on their bench. Wins have to be racked up, and for some, it worked out. Jamaal Williams looked like a complete back against Pittsburgh. But others, like Larry Fitzgerald and Doug Baldwin completely disappeared at the worst time.
Thankfully, considering this year has been so damn weird, there are still plenty of teams alive with one game to go. I’m in a league with five 5-7 teams. Anything is possible, like losing David Johnson and Aaron Rodgers in the same season (I lived it).
Travis Kelce represents us all. He’s tired of it, too. #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/l66COxe231

@DangeRussWilson idk if you knew this but Doug Baldwin is on your team and you should probably throw him the ball

@The_Oddsmaker Is this the time in fantasy football where you throw ranking out the window? Martavis & Burkhead outproduced Baldwin & Golden Tate 🤦♂️. There goes my 6 game winning streak.

Look at the wide open Kareem Hunt in the flat as Alex just scrambles for no reason. pic.twitter.com/ot8jR5OEUr

I look forward to this week's worth of excuse making for Anthony Castonzo, TY Hilton, and just about anyone else on the Colts, who are 3-8 and have one of the worst records in the NFL.

This is particularly sad:
@DraftKings why am I showing a 0 for Jared Cook? His game stats aren't showing any points for him
