If you play in a league that has champ week 18 you’re insane

[@dawsonspath2257]

I am... its fun being insane

[@mister_padilla6105]

My last two lol

[@WhiteNinja09]

Blame my commissioner. This ends this year.

[@robertstahl8835]

It's not that we don't understand how fantasy football works... It's that we week 18ers are looking for anything to make the league interesting or unique. Everyone was well aware when drafting the potential implications... We also use super deep lineup and a thin bench... so every week you're fighting over garbage players to get a couple points in that slot

[@rosharma7443]

Stupid commissioner

[@Hustlinhusky22]

Im done with the season but i’m listening cause I love the show. Happy new year!!

[@davidmora5754]

do you listen to the spit ballers pod too? highly recommend

18:43 WEEK 18 BIG MONTANA DROP YEEEEE HAWWW🤠🤠🤠🐮🐮⛰️⛰️🏔️🏔️🏔️🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴

[@kevinhense]

Down 60 in a two week playoff. Gonna need a miracle to pull this one off, boys 😅

[@JohnDoe-bp6xe]

Down 42.5 but I'm hopeful. Have amazing matchups this week and a bunch of starters that are fighting for seeding positions, my opponent not so much!

[@michealmjh]

Same. Lol But miracles can happen when practice squad guys take the field.

[@ItsRoflz]

We had a two week final one time in my league, years ago. I was ahead by 70 after the first week and ended up losing the second week by triple digits. It happens

[@voges44]

Down 40 as well

[@spendizzle670]

@@ItsRoflzso you got outscored by over 170 points in the second week? Bro that’s like impossible

[@pauly1124]

18:55 the cut to the Ducers during the big Montana song was too good 😂 Chefs kiss

[@fddominguez__]

thank yall for your help! i’m in a guillotine league that goes till week 18 so having these videos helps so much!

[@yemmyrox5469]

No one talks about how Dickerson broke the record in a 16 game season that was set when the season was 14 games. That proves the point that no one cares about the number of games.

[@Nuesence24]

💯

[@MarcusParisian]

It should be based on carries

[@patrickduffy1638]

The crossed my mind

[@TW-bh2mi]

I care on did it it 14 try not to follow the masses cause the number of games does matter ppl just a bit slo and like to be muppetts

[@Herbie718]

I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Barkley should play!!

[@edward3553]

Episode Opens: "Hi this is Eric Dickerson...". 5 minutes later: Mike: "Do you know how much I care about Eric Dickerson? I don't care!". You've changed this year, Mike... You've changed.

[@StrongStyleNinja]

It’s insane that there are leagues for week 18 game for the championship.

[@robertstahl8835]

Not really... It was well known going into the draft, everyone had to take calculated risks on the elite teams.It's an extra layer of complexity that starts to force owners to make moves and shakes up the league, especially 2qb...

[@trevrisd]

I’m in one of those leagues. 4 team playoff. Each team plays twice for cumulative points. Week 18 is a disaster but can be quite comical.

[@joreengainer143]

A special wk 18 prize to highest score for just that week is a fun reason to play😂

[@Aafox74]

I'm glad you guys do a week 18. We aren't going for a championship but we have a week 18 free for all for some cash where you put any lineup in and winner takes it so it's nice to know the teams still playing for something

[@DanG802]

I am in a 32 manager, season long total points league. I can't finish first but I have a shot at 4th. League pays top ten so I could still get bounced out of the money. 🤞

[@jay_bird83126]

6:49 also ED broke OJs record with 2 extra games so.... 😅

[@JeffreyFountain-l7n]

Our league started in ‘93 and we are a total accumulative league, we play until the last whistle sounds, most points win, so highest scoring team wins, takes out that BS in having one bad week and your dead. But you learn to be prepared for week 18 if you’re smart 😉….so keep helping until the year is over 💪🏻

[@ER0CK5_]

James Conner played it just right this year. Missing week 18 where it matters for only 10% of leagues is perfect

[@svendragon8139]

I liked the wk 18 chip, because i did my research and always worked waivers the best / did the best guess work in my league

[@stickyHick]

I feel you mine is sat dowdle and guerendo who i had been playing for Conner and ford lost by 4 pts

[@thomasroybal6137]

Wow guys won my first championship in the 8 years I played!!!!! Feels great!

[@vigmart1]

Pretty sure you are up now🤘

[@anthonychilds8193]

Shady DID contribute in the regular season to the Chief's SB season but wasn't even active in that SB. Neither of Shady's SB rings featured him in the games.

[@stevenlorigo5165]

Reed was on my champ team...cause I went rb rb rb. Pick 12..kyrine, gibbs, achane..and Hubbard round 10

[@MrKevhead]

Tx for the great year guys

[@kevineisenschink2500]

We do a week 18 All-Star week. Each team submits their best lineup, but you can’t use players from the first three rounds.

[@jamesaiello661]

So our 12 person league just finished its 30th year. Yes when we started, we were taking all the stats out of Mondays and sometimes Tuesdays newspaper. Definitely much easier now I found you guys three years ago and from that time I have dominated the league we do head to head Which pays out 40% and we also do end of the year final points which pays out 60%. It is also a three player keeper league. So I have Ja’Marr Chase and Saint Brown for a few more good years and my last keeper is either going to be Jaden Daniels or Brock Bowers I am leaning towards the TE side. Is it wrong of me for not telling anybody which site I listen to. I want to tell people, but I feel giving that advantage away is too big. Mike permanent over the last three years is really starting to piss people off lol again thank you all for what you do

[@jamesaiello661]

By the way, my team name is “Dragon Deez Nutz “

[@ItsAllCulturalMarxism]

Starting Drew Lock in championship game? Playing for a job against backups. Could be another 2+ TD performance.

[@bignoggin2342]

I love it here

[@CokeZorro]

As someone who never thought Olave was good, Jason's trade is absolutely hilarious. Never woulda made that trade.

[@buddhadickson4309]

Good evening gang!

[@deargodhelpus5046]

I have Allen should I play Russell or Geno??? Going against Nix

[@gordonvshumway]

What about Dynasty? What is your thoughts on Dynasty week 18 championship? I have 1 of my 4 that still does.

[@IorminaGenni]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@steveelsholz5297]

My league is still playing for a championship. When I asked my commissioner why he said "Because I want to. If you don't like it quit".

[@brettcomstock1156]

I’d quit.

[@kengriffiths5229]

Just enjoying my off-season as champ champ in my work league 😎 🏆 🏆 congrats to all my fellow footclan champions 😁

[@Farr254]

Pick TWO for Week 18 PPR: WR2 and Flex…CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND! I’m leaning Ladd and Courtland… Ladd McConkey versus Raiders Courtland Sutton versus Chiefs Tyreek Hill versus Jets JK Dobbins versus Raiders Jalen McMillan versus Saints Jameson Williams versus Vikings

[@NRB_75]

I have Jacobs, Geurendo and Ray Davis. I can pick up Corum Which 2 start??

[@NRB_75]

I have Higgens, JMo and Mcmillan Bench is Hill and Thielen Which 2 to start n flex

[@BuffBillCam]

Dickerson got the record vs players that did 14 (Walter Payton). Dickerson has the 4th in rush yards/gm.

[@thomasbarker9091]

Mailman Joe in St Pete FL saying thanks for a great year fellas !

[@kengriffiths5229]

Mailman Ken in michigan is jealous joe lol. Happy new year

[@TheHoff305]

OJ went over 2,000+ yds in 14 games back in 1973...he's the real single season rushing record holder in my opinion!

[@cashclay216]

What QB should I start? I have Bryce Young, Caleb Williams on the roster and available QBs are Drake Maye, Geno Smith, Joe Flacco, Tyler Huntley, Josh Dobbs. I’m neck and neck with my opponent in the championship game.

[@joshuaboard4617]

Dickerson did it in more carries! The games doesn’t matter as much when you know that

[@Terje-p8c]

Chat I’m starting zaccheus I have Daniels and I am down 34 and looking for points. Thoughts?

[@canariotv6167]

Higgins is impossible to bet either way

[@jordanrobertson260]

Pat McAfee thank you

[@bionicdevil2762]

Is baker not gonna sit the second half because of the lead they get.

[@paulrenault9679]

Finally you guys told us the trick of getting the free ring of putting it in the cart. In years past I ordered four fully loaded championship trophies from Fantasy Champs and never got the free rings. You guys owe me four free rings because the error is in the drafter. The Commish Paul.

[@brettcomstock1156]

How many carries did Eric Dickerson have in those 16 games? I would like to see Barkley break the record. It probably won’t happen, it seems.

[@mcberge1]

Did they talk about Pollard or Spears?

[@bryankayrocker]

I'm in an ESPN public league that the default is the Championship is weeks 17 and 18. That's what ESPN does, but I still am going for the Championship

[@MiguelGatica]

This might be the only episode in the WHOLE year that I actually skipped

[@Exemplifyys]

Bruh mike dissing ED while hes the intro is crazy

[@MejiaGee18]

Saquon Barkley has more than 30 less carries then Erick Dickerson even going into the the last extra game. He can easily break his record with waay more yards and less carries, so who cares about the games now.

[@MarvolotheWhize]

Should i start dowdle over gainwell???

[@jake-6015]

Gimme gainwell

[@CokeZorro]

Week 18 champs is when the real people play, when you make real decisions and make real moves. Amateurs are pre week 18

[@paulrenault9679]

I am the Commissioner of six Fantasy Football Leagues where Week 18 is the Championship second week. It adds that extra level of expertise to our championships. We all love it! The Commish Paul.

[@nickyenowine1468]

Shady also went to the Bucs and got a ring the very next season lol

[@Dukster97]

Yeah Barkley should have done it in 16 but then he shouldn't have been rested at the end of some of those games. 5 games he had under 70% of snaps. I think it would have been fair if he broke it with the extra game

[@joreengainer143]

Wish I had a week 18 league so sad Fantasy football is over 😢

[@idiocide6609]

Inportant to note.. Saquon has 34 carries less this year than Dickerson did.. it doesnt matter how many games.. it matters how many carries.

[@ItsAllCulturalMarxism]

IF Cleveland beats Baltimore (LOL) then Pittsburgh players are a full go. If Cincy beats Pittsburgh (likely given BAL wins) then Dobbins is a RB1. Gotta pay attention and have a back up squad ready.

[@pat_puente]

Just came here to say I drafted cmc as my 1.01 and Rashee Rice as my WR1 in a 12 man full ppr redraft league and I won the championship. Miracles do happen!! Let’s gooo!!!

[@krogge10]

You have Bucky didn’t you lol

[@pat_puente]

@ nope I had Achane who failed me in the championship but I still won

[@krogge10]

@ what was you winning team

[@pat_puente]

@@krogge10 Lamar Jackson, achane, Tracy, Collins, Higgins, McMillan, Hunter Henry, Guerendo, cardinals kicker, bucs defense was my championship lineup

[@krogge10]

@ damn, gotta love it lol

[@reedfagan8330]

@34:43 "Did you guys put your ears to the bushes..." wut?

[@dsauce223]

LOL @ Skattebo. Funniest Sht I heard all day. 🤣

[@danielcook3515]

Dickerson had a less game but like 100 more carries then barkley lol

[@raymondespinoza420]

I'm a commissioner who runs two leagues one has a two week championship and the other is one and done week 17 chip for those who don't like the 2 week chip

[@StrongStyleNinja]

We need the lyrics for the Big Montana song.

[@JamisonRelapse]

I'm getting 'Invalid Code' when I enter "Free Ring" with 2 Rings in my checkout. Sorry this Customer Service? Should of led with that.

[@aaronvonweller]

Playing in a 2 week matchup and my opponent has Allen, kelce, cook, sequan, brown, and puka all sitting 😂

[@nevadaxtube]

I joined a couple random ESPN fantasy leagues and they play week 18. WTF? What is wrong with ESPN? Don't they know anything about fantasy football?

[@smul36]

I joined as a co-owner in a league and found out week 15 that it goes to week 18 😢

[@space_tex]

Let's go!!!

[@melamamas2571]

It's SEASON record... the days don't matter...

[@michealmjh]

In a 2 week 18 championship game. Going to the waiver wire to start practice squad guys on the 2nd leg of this garbage.

[@HybridCultureDave]

Give your son his own team and he'll beat you next year. :)

[@jake_villanueva]

YEET

[@moversrus4048]

Love that they had Dickerson due the drop since his record is safe 😂

[@Nuesence24]

To make fun of or put down people to have a championship in week 18 is Clown work People are allowed to play anyway they want that makes it fun. I don’t agree with it, but you shouldn’t be telling people not to join a league just because it has a week 18 championship. A lot of people are just happy to be in involved.

[@Nuesence24]

And shut up about Erik Dickerson

[@teamtakeover7317]

Wow someone is very upset over opinions from people who actually clown professional athletes every week. Grow up man.

[@brycejackson6331]

First

[@ceruleandawg8550]

I’m in a league where the championship is 2 weeks. Already ahead by 80. So this week should be smooth sailing 🫡
