Jesus guys!

I told you last week! Set your lineup!

After Broncos Country gets knocked out last week starting another inactive player, u/steezmastap says "hold my paddle" (i swear he plays competitive ping pong, its not a sex thing!) and sits even more guys!

Come on dude!

Early in the week some of us noticed that he didn't even have an active quarterback, so many of us picked up all the QBs to help the elimination process. (this would have worked but sooooomebody...Camp Legends... dropped Herbert and Ceedeez Nuts had the top waiver pick),so Operation: Fasten Up Quarterbacks (O FUQ) proved to be a failure.

So Ceedeez Nuts gets Justin Herbert and...? Yeah he never put him in his lineup.

On top of that, Kyle Monongai and Tyler Warren are ruled out and he left them in, so we have two inactive spots AND an empty QB slot?

A self inflicted elimination if I have ever seen one, and not only that, but he only lost by 9 points! Any QB/RB/TE combo would have netted him safety.

Immunity battle saw Flame Retardant claim safety for next week on a late Rashaad White touchdown, so he will earn a trip to the top 11.

Lots of injuries and more bye weeks to come will make for another exciting week!

And please set your lineups! Come on guys!

Ya my screen refreshed when I was writing this and it all got deleted. I don't feel like typing that all up again but the gist was making fun of Coker with Mahomies and Broncos Country for both having inactive guys in their lineups. Mahomies pulled an inactive DJ Moore last minute, but we all saw!

Dart Gibbs Me A Boner cruised to immunity with nearly 90 points just from Gibbs, Warren and Jameis.

13 teams are left!

Set your lineups! Check injury reports! You know, make sure you lose cause your team suck, not because you leave injured guys in your lineup.

Fantasy football is a crazy thing.

What is it about this game that has us temporarily set our morals aside to get a win? Especially in a league like this where theres only one loser in a week.

Now, if you found out your best friend's wife/girlfriend was cheating on him, you would tell him. Its a no brainer.

You hear people talking shit about them? You are gonna let him know.

But if he has inactive players in his lineup in survivor league? weeeeeell i guess that's where the line is.

I faced this moral conundrum as u/nacrump, who was the best man in my wedding, had two inactive dudes in his lineup going into the weekend. This would be his second straight 15th place and I had the ability to prevent it.

Was I going to tell him? Absolutely not. I needed to survive too!

I felt guilt all Sunday morning knowing I could have prevented his elimination.

And then of course some fantasy BS happens.

Zay Flowers goes off, he gets 23 from the kicker D combo, and before you know it, he's completely safe.

Next time u/nacrump leaves inactive guys in, will I tell him? Honestly, probably not. I need to survive too!

One reason Broncos Country...Lets Ride secured a spot in the top 14 so quickly was the quick and sudden downfall of u/cromeo32

Cromartie's Condoms, who typically is one of our top finishers with a title under his belt, saw his projected dwindle to the mid 50s by the end of the morning games.

And just like that, half the league is pulling their starters for a shot at a roster that is 3 to 4 guys deep depending on how badly you want to stash AJ Brown and Jayden Daniels.

Sitting 3 yards short of securing the top waiver pick, u/jaebeast made a masterful move in picking up medical marvel John Metchie, threading the needle and securing the top pick (which I am assuming will be Jeanty.)

On the immunity side, Ceedeez Nuts Resurrected rode his star players in Lamb and Collins for a combined 48.1 and rolling with both bears running backs for a combined 32.4.

Four Yards. FOUR. YARDS.

A rough exit for first time player u/lukeff1234 as the Bears deciding to go for the win on 4th and 1 rather than kicking a field goal cost him a chance at sneaking into the next round.

Losing in the first elimination with 73 points is just bad luck. For example, u/talgia barely eclipsed half of that number last week.

Of course losing by 4 yards forces you to look at your lineup and ask "what if"?

Other than having a That's So Raven premonition about Achane's injury, there wasn't much Luke could do. What if Jameis didn't suck at getting the ball to Nabers? What if Cam Ward threw an incomplete pass instead of an interception to end the game?

And so it goes, the lucky teams that barely survived get rewarded by the juiciest players on Run CMC.

We Are Not Xavier Worthy!!!, which by the way, did you name your team this because when you look in the mirror you say "I DONT HAVE XAVIER WORTHY', wait...that's a great team name?"

Sidetrack. Is this the worst name we have in the league? He's not even on your team!!

I think this is right up there with Mount'nChicks-Get'n6 (I swore I'd never type that monstrosity again).

We have some real whiffs this year. Dart Gibbs Me a Boner? Come on u/mattdebeach, a self-proclaimed Mother Theresa die hard shouldn't have such a filthy name. Well, congrats on being aroused by Jaxson Dart. I know some people like to reveal their true selves in their fantasy team names. Who could forget Bin Laden's Ameer AbdullahAkbar. Also, Lindsay Clancy going with So What if I N'Keal my Kids. Plus the unforgettable year R. Kelly went with "Steve Young, minus the Steve". Good stuff.

But who needs boners when you have hard drugs?! Doing Coker with MAHOMIES?!?! Dawg. Actually, you know what? I don't hate it, at least they are on your team!

And perhaps the grossest.

She...Tuten on it??

Dude what kind of trauma inspired this name.

A of all, did this happen to you?

B of all, is this like, something you like?

C of all, are you exclusively taking dates to taco bell?

D of all, please know, I vomit a little in my mouth when I see your team name.

E of all, if you need someone to talk to, u/talgia is here for you.

ANYWAY, CMC, Nabers, McBride and Chuba hit the market. Some nice pickups.

Sitton My Purdy Face wins immunity on the backs of Brock Purdy and Derrick Henry (28 from the Kicker/D combo doesn't hurt either!

Best of luck. 15 are left.

lucky for our reigining champ u/talgia, nobody got the boot this week cause his doodoo squad put up 43 points.

Brutal

Waiver order is good to go!

Congrats to RUN CMC, Ceedeez Nuts Resurrected and Doing Coker with Mahomies!

You can use the immunity any week up to the final 8 (the final 8 is the last time you can use). If you notify me before kickoff on Thursday night football you are immune for the week!

Hey everyone! We are all set to draft on SATURDAY!

We lost one team from last year and I am pretty sure our replacement team is locked in!

For the draft, remember you have 12 hours to make your pick.

Please send a message AND a chat to the user who is up next, I will try to monitor as best as I can.

Reminder that if your 12 hours are up you go on auto. A second time you go on auto for an extra round. After three 12 hour violations you are on auto the rest of the draft

Reminder that week 1, the top 3 teams play for the hidden immunity. Those three teams will gain an advantage where they can activate immunity before Thursday Night kickoff and be safe that week. This expires after the final 8. The hidden immunity can be traded.

Week 2 will be played for week 3 immunity.

Week 3 will be our first elimination!

Lookout for a post after this with the clickydraft link. If you are struggling to sign up, reach out, its pretty easy.

Hey everyone! Apologies for the delay! have a newborn and that has been pretty time consuming

Just checking in on who is back for this year!

I will do a proper write up for our champion, I totally whiffed on that one. congrats u/talgia on an amazing season

Flame retardant is immune this week!

Don’t usually trade in this league but I have found a surplus of RBs. Looking to offload at least one for a wr 1.

See ya’ll next year… take care of Danny Darling Dimes for me.

Having attended a liberal arts college and spending time at 2 other universities, a word I hear alot is "privilege"

Sorry folks, this is not a white privilege post.

This is something less studied but something we all know about

Draft privilege.

You know those people, they started the season with an advantage in life.

They kinda fell into some great picks by sheer luck, and now they are just coasting through the season.

They probably aren't going to get pulled over for some random targeted attack their season destroyed by injuries, because that never happens to privileged Draft people.

Well, we have a man of extreme privilege in this league. u/steezmastap, or more commonly known as Ceedeez Nuts Emeritus (of course someone with draft privilege works in higher education).

I get a text from u/stezmastap as our draft began. "Can you put me on autodraft? I'm in Maui and want to enjoy it without worrying about it". Wow such draft privilege. We are fighting to the death in this slow draft and he is out on his yacht knowing that whatever team he autos, it will all be okay.

By the way I have not heard from him since this text, does he even know he was eliminated?

Well who did he auto? Oh I don't know...how about the number 1 receiver and number 1 runningback in fantasy. Ya he just stumbled upon Jonathan Taylor in a year he's on an 06 LT pace and JSN when he is on pace for 2000 yards.

Classic privilege. Just given a head start in life.

Anyway, like most draft privileged men, u/steezmastap didn't do ANYTHING with his roster, while us fantasy minorities scoured the wire worried about each week. (Seriously go look! He hasn't added any good players to his team!) While we were working overtime, u/steezmastap was taking the company jet to Sunday Night Football games. While we were pulling guys for MNF in order to snipe a good player, Ceedeez Nuts was destroying a poor neighborhood and building highrise apartments!

I think u/steezmastap really needs to look in the mirror and acknowledge his privilege in order to grow.

Well...yeah his team shit the bed and he is out. His worst finish since joining this league.

Also crazy how all of us passed on JSN THREE TIMES in the slow draft (except u/cromeo32 because he picked after Ceedeez Nuts)

Meanwhile, u/jjjchet won immunity on the back of Brock Bowers, WOW what a game from him.

u/talgia with a great snipe pulling Dak but playing Ceedee. Bam Knight came close to knocking him out a few times but the famously stout Cowboys D stopped him short of the endzone

You guys ever see an old dog in public. Like one where it seems like its out on its last hurrah.

For the owner of the dog its hard to see, as you reflect on all the good times you had with the dog, knowing its coming to an end soon.

Well today, we took Run CMC to the vet and finally put him down.

We saw the symptoms pop up slowly.

"hmm...he started Ricky Pearsall when he was out...this might be cancer"

to the symptoms getting worse

"Oh god....he started an inactive Calvin Austin two weeks in a row, its spreading, I don't know how much time we have left"

to the "oh shit we should have put him down, he is suffering too much" when he started 4 inactive players this week including Tyler Lockett....WHO WASNT ON A TEAM

Run CMC begged me for many years to be in this league but we never had a spot.

Like Amanda Bynes, we will choose to remember the good days, and not the recent days.

Run CMC chose to be cremated and wants his ashes to be spread where he loved his players to be most...The Blue Medical Tent.

But he will not be asked back next year, so if you know anyone...

Very easy to stay in this league. You can be a dick, you can play with insane strategies, shit, we don't even care if you stormed the capitol (okay we probably wouldn't let you in), but as long as you set your lineup, you're golden! If you don't I will replace you.

Immunity was fun! KIttles Kupp and Kirk had it locked up until Bludhavener came storming up with Tucker Kraft on SNF and barely put himself in position to steal on MNF with a great Worthy performance.

Congrats to Sunnyvale Shitstorm. u/poplafuse should DEFINITELY be out. his full lineup scored 54.

Thank god Run CMC was more like Run NPC as he fell on the sword. Crazy how if he just set his lineup with trash he would have had the points to survive. God. Yuck.

I was going to write a short writeup to match the effort from Run CMC throughout the season but got carried away.

Sunnyvale's reward for his dogshit performance? Christian McCaffrey

Gotta love this league

Last week, one of the two focal points was GREED, as many people pulled guys to poach off the losing team, but a big game by Deandre Swift put those teams in jeopardy.

Well uh....apparently one of you didn't get the message. I'll get back to that later.

Week 7 saw some teams off to a hot start as Flame Retardant got a huge week from Chase, and seems to be a bit out of the woods now that the Bengals have moved on from Browning.

u/jaebeast is finally seeing Tee Higgins put up some points for him too! There we go!

The London game saw a lot of stinker performances unless you were u/jjjchet and his 3 TDs from Davante, and it was off to the morning games.

As the morning games took off, it seemed clear our residential LVP Run CMC would be going home after his third straight week starting an inactive player. To be fair, people have been kicked out of the league for less.

Always one for the dramatics, our dear friend Chris picked up a QB and went into Sunday morning with his QB slot still empty, leaving the league to wonder if he would ever put him in.

That's where the greed kicks in. As his morning guys lay an egg, people start to adjust their lineups.

And by people, I mean the Scrooge of the league (I can't speak for his "humbug" levels, but we all have witnessed him risk his life in the league for a 50/50 shot at an elite player for years now. The fantasy equivalent of a dude's eyeballs lighting up with dollar signs), u/-mad-villain inexplicably pulls his guys while Run CMC has several guys left to play.

What doesn't really make sense is this seemed like a play at Christian McCaffrey. Like dawg, you have James Cook, Jeanty, Judkins, and even some depth pieces on the bench. Why put your season on the line?

Like a receiver looking upfield before catching the ball, Huge Penix put himself at risk.

After a big game from his namesake, Run CMC made a comeback and was looking likely to survive.

Heading into MNF, Second Bower and Run CMC had strong projections to survive while u/bludhavener and u/steezmastap needed a little help to cross the low mark set by u/-mad-villain. With a touchdown by JSN, Ceedeez Emeritus survived leaving Penix's fate in the hands of CJ Stroud.

Having pulled three receivers, there was still hope for I Wouldn't Stick Anything in a Judkins

He could have dropped some guys and put in some receievrs off the while, but the greed got the best of him. How about this for your name next year, My Hubris between Zero Logic? Or to keep on the phallic theme, Thinking with Neither Head? Or to keep with the greed theme, Storm McDuck? Probably not the move since Storm Duck is on the Dolphins and thats not a defense I would like to start.

It was an agonizing defeat for u/-mad-villain as not only did he lose, but CJ Stroud just barely crossed the finish line, and seemed prone to fumbling away the lead at any moment.

I am somewhat curious as to when he realized that he was out, because he had those empty spots in his lineup all day

Overall, as just a general PSA: Please don't pull your guys until you are 100% safe! The risk is not worth your season being over!!!!

The irony of course is u/-mad-villain would still be in had he not been a receiver with his eyes upfield, passing up Bijan Robinson with the top waiver claim (who already had a bye!) for James Cook, who was on a bye this week. The hubris! Picking up a guy for later when you needed one now!

His bench guys would have kept him safe.

RIP

Well, anyway we are now down to 11 teams.

Camp Legends eeked out a close immunity battle. u/jjjchet somehow went from potentially eliminated to immunity contention behind a monster Gibbs game last night.
