Boy, as happy as I am as a Steelers fan, I'm glad I'm not facing LeVeon Bell in fantasy today. He just set a Steelers single game rushing game record, 225 yards rushing with 3TDs, plus 48 yards receiving... Still 10 mins left in the fourth quarter and he has over 45 fantasy points...

It's amazing how much better the pass defence is for Pittsburgh, too, the two rookie defensive backs, Artie Burns and Sean Davis, have completely turned around their weakness into a strength.

Just as well because Big Ben's taking a massive shit on the field.

Just as Miami looked liked they were going to make a serious push for the playoffs Tannehill has reportedly tore his ACL and will be out for the rest of the season. Moore is a decent back-up though.

Really happy about Leveon Bell's game today, but i had both Terrelle Pryor AND Matt Forte go down. There goes my playoff chances.

My FF team shit the bed this week. Just hope the Pats offense falters tonight because @DFF 's team has been even worse!

It's been a long 14 years but we are finally back in the play-offs! More of a grind than I expected against the Chargers without key players but we got the job done - just need to close this season out to win the Division now.

....oh, and once again, thank you Titans :D

Nice to see my team get 133 points with one more to go in a meaningless game after 68 last week. I'm the Andy Dalton on FF.

Just interested on your thoughts here.

I don't know the answer either way.

Agree or disagree:

Teams that are eliminated from the playoffs Should be allowed to make Waiver Claims?

I didn't want to be 'that guy' last week and say something at the time and thankfully not picking up Tyreek Hill didn't cost me a place in the Championship game.

Congrats to @felmani26 on making the final. Looks like a very even matchup.

That was me. Even though we are eliminated from the playoffs, we're still playing games, and I don't see why we should stop playing three weeks before you? What happens if I wanted to take Tyreek Hill as my keeper next year? Congratulations and all on having a great season, but complaining about that is a little insulting to the rest of us, frankly.

No, not complaining at all.

As I say, didn't have an opinion either way. I had the last pick so any of the other playoff teams could have picked him up. Maybe even felmani had him prioritised over Ty :)

It was more I was listening to a podcast where they said teams out off the playoffs stopped making waiver claims. Of course it has always been open in our league. Genuinely didn't know what the answer was. Ladders still playing is a fair point. No need to be insulted.

Plus I shouldn't have dropped Hill the week before if I wanted to play him. I thought Jeffery would be better.

Im getting so scared. Huge game tonight vs the Bengals. My texans could potentially clinch the division and a playoff spot(depending on the Titans/Jaguars final). Brocketship finally benched. Savage cant be worse(or can he?). I'd say we'll be relying heavily on the run but Miller is out. Big opportunities for Savage and Blue tonight.

We have started more QB's since 2014 than any other team in the league. Yes, that includes the Browns. And we havent been complete trash. That's a testement to how good the rest of the team is. Sadly, i dont see it improving much next year unless we catch lightning in a bottle somehow with Savage. The QB class this draft is weak on top guys. Next years might be crazy though depending on how guys progress(to give you an idea of what it could be, ive seen some way too early 2018 mocks taking QB's with the first 3 overall picks).

Oh boy. Win and in tonight. Id be lying if i said i wasnt nervous. Im so nervous i could puke. Nationally televised game and we could clinch the division with a win. Such a massive game for the franchise, to be honest
