Well, we’ve made it to the final week of the season. I would like to thank everyone who supported and participated in the contest this season. It would have been nice to have gotten a few more players on a weekly basis, and some larger payouts, but I still think the contest went reasonably well. We’ll see how things go, but as of now, I plan on running this contest again next year.

This week is a bit of a cluster due to many teams potentially not starting their #1 QBs. I’ve still just make the first three tiers eight players, and made the tier four field huge. I recommend doing a little homework to figure out which QBs are likely to play.

Congrats to @technewbie, @photo-moment, and @xtramedium for taking home the top three spots last week. Good luck to everyone in week 17!

Here’s the results post from Week #16 for those who are interested:

  • If still tied after the tiebreaker, the person who submitted their picks first will win.
  • This week's tiebreaker is:
    Guess the number of yards that Matt Ryan will throw for this week against the Panthers

Deadlines

  • If you choose a QB playing on Thursday night, your picks must be in before kickoff of that Thursday night game.
  • It looks like the only Saturday games are in Week 15 and Week 16, so we can deal with those games then.
  • All other picks must be in before kickoff of the first games on Sunday.
