Which player or players are you most thankful for this season, and say why.

Never thought I would say this but Case Keenum. I am a huge Vikes fan. Suffered through numerous Super Bowl losses and thought their season was over. Keenum has put us in a 6-game winning streak and in position to have a 3 game lead after we beat Detroit on Thanksgiving! Go VIKES!

Week 11 FFGuidebook.com Results

I am in 18 Leagues this year. Divided them into active management-I set a lineup each week and do adds/drop
and Draft and Forget or DraftMasters (DM) or Draft Experts (DE) where a computer sets optimal lineup for each week after the games  are played and no add/drops/waivers allowed. You play the hand you are dealt after the draft.
In leagues where it is scored by total points I give myself a win if I beat half of the teams in the league. 

Active Management (wins in bold)
1) FootballGuys (FBG) Players Championship (FPC) Loss 5-6 out of playoffs which start this week 
2) Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) $250 Classic Loss 8-3 5th place
3) FFPC $250 Dynasty #38 Win 7-4 6th overall
4) FFPC $77 Dynasty #7 Loss 7-4 3rd overall
5) FFPC $77 Dynasty #17 Win 9-2 1st overall
6) FFPC $35 Classic # 6019 Loss 8-3 7th
7) Pro Football Forecast Magazine Experts PPR Loss 7-4 6th
8) Pro Football Forecast Mag Experts Non-PPR  Win 9-2 2nd
9) Scott Fish Bowl (SFB420) 2017 Win 6-5 4th
10) Local League Win 6-5 5th


Draft and Forget (or Draft Expert Leagues)
11) FFPC $77 Dynasty DE #22 Win 8-3 3rd
12) FFPC $35 DE #5278 Win 9-2 4th
13) FFPC $35 DE #6174 Win 7-4 4th

17) Fantasy Index Experts Win 8-3 3rd
18) Fantasy Index Auction Loss 5-6 6th

So 18 games each week.

123-75 overall (.621 winning percentage)
At .500 or above in 14 of the 18 leagues!!!

Ask the Expert Question: Who gets your vote for the first half of the season fantasy MVP?

Who gets your vote for the first half of the season fantasy MVP?

Deshaun Watson hands down. Look at where he was being drafted before the season started-in most leagues he was NOT being drafted. Many did not expect him to start week 1 for the Texans. The rookie QB has nearly 28 fantasy points per game with 1699 passing yards, 19 passing TDs, 260 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs. MVP. Can you say Championship!!!!
