Boarder line playoff teams

Recommended Posts

Are you guys full steam foward trying to make the playoffs? Or are you in tank mode?

Obviously this is for Dynasty and Keeper teams, as draft position or a really good keeper/keeper spot makes it worthwhile.

 

Watcha doin?

I'm in my "win-now" mode in the one keeper league I'm in. About 3-4 years ago I realized I wasn't going to make the playoffs so I made a couple of deals to set myself up for the future. I proceeded to get third two years ago, second last year (lost by a half point in championship game!), and I'll make the playoffs again this year and lead that league in fantasy points scored.

 

But I totally understand the theory behind "tanking" to set yourself up for future years. I'm just glad a couple of other guys in the league don't utilize that strategy as they've been stuck in mediocrity for years now.

No such thing as tanking for draft spot in an auction keeper league... which also doesn't give teams fighting for the playoffs "free" wins.

 

And your career stats get tracked.

You get berated for being an all-time loser.

I'm in good enough shape in 3 of my 4 dynasty leagues to where I'm going for the playoffs and think I'll get in.

My other one though I don't really have a shot so I'm not putting a lot of time into that one. Not really thinking about next season yet.

I am definitely on the bubble in a PPR redraft money league. I lost AJ Green this past week and that killed my chance of winning and clinching a playoff spot. I need a win in one of the last two games or help backing into the playoffs as a low seed. With other teams starting to tank thus not caring about line ups, I really can't rely on help(I play other teams fighting for spots) I need a win! It will be difficult replacing a Green so I need some lucky bigger games from lower tier WRs. I haven't been hit too hard from the injury bug this year but unfortunately losing Green means my luck has started to run out.

I'm in nearly an identical spot, lost by less than a FG due to Green & even Prosise injuries this past week. I will probably still make playoffs but I am hoping AJ gets healthy mid December.

 

As far as OP, we have a playoff for teams who didn't make playoffs to determine the following years draft order. This somewhat keeps teams from tanking.
