if you had the #1 regular season team, you can crown yourself as a champ….fantasy playoffs are just a roulette wheel.

#1 overall in the regular season is the true king of kings.

Disagree. Key injuries early can screw your team. Clawing back and taking down top teams? That's just as Kingly.

If you quit because you've won the regular season you're a leaf fan. Sorry bub.

Hey it’s fun
and I’m happy for you…..but if you’re a middle table team who went on a nice run for three weeks. That’s ultimately all you did.

Best team over all the games played, has the strongest argument to being the best team, period.

This was quality. 👍🏼
 
See glad you joined in. Now you got me going. It'll boil down to injuries and leaving someone on the bench at the wrong time. That's where the league is won.

Agreed, it’s a war of attrition….who can make the least lineup mistakes, overcome injuries and still come out on top over the most amount of games.

I’ll award the playoff champ the benefit of any additional wins he gains during the Yoffs….but if even getting those, still leaves him short of the regular season champ or someone else with more overall wins. That person is the Montana Mountain Man of Megachamps.

Why does it leave him short? If a manager busts their hump on the waiver wire and makes little to no lineup errors to get to the playoffs then goes on a run? Props.

That's > sitting on a good roster, that another manager may have lucked into, that stayed healthy.

Active management impresses me far far more. You do that and yeah, I'll call you champ.

You left out losing a bunch of games more than the other guy.

why are they “sitting” on a good roster (that they constructed)…..as opposed to busting their hump to build the juggernaut they have

It’s very hard to win without active management…I say as the soon to be 10 time champ of our dynasty baseball league (cheap plug)….I’m always grinding to improve.

….if someone still dominates without actively managing their team, that’s even more impressive of a team building project from that manager. It’s rare if ever, I’ve witnessed that occur.

I don’t mind them calling themselves champ for the record…..the league has a playoff format, and you win it? By all means, call yourself champ & enjoy your title and prizes.

I’m just more impressed by whoever builds the best team that wins the most games over the course of one league year. (That goes for opinion on fantasy, real sports, everything)


I will say tho, if the records are remotely close…and the playoff champ is only a win or two behind? He’s the champ champ for me as well….it’s just if there’s any kind of significant discrepancy.

(l the regular season #1 should always take some pride in that accomplishment tho)

There is just so much luck involved with Fantasy Football, i don't look at it as a yardstick for measuring football knowledge.

Case in point:
2021 season in an auction league i am in.
had an 8 game win streak that year, finished with most points 4 weeks (12 team league), had the best team by far,
averaged 14 more points per week than #2 guy.
week 1 of the playoffs against the lowest ranked player to make the playoffs..I did not register 1 rushing or receiving TD.. Had Kupp on my team in his breakout season and Derrick Henry. That lowest ranked player (-2 win/loss for the season), won the championship that year.
Luck.
 
TDs are very random for WRs. JJ is super elite but only managed 8 tds last yr

I remember that one yr when Megatron rewrote the receiving recordbook (122 catches, almost 2000 yds) but only 5TDs
 
It used to be wild in the workhorse RB days because they were so dominant in the scoring, but also if any of them went down and you won the backup on the wire, it would end up winning someone the league damn near on that alone.

some “nobody” backup RB would be a top 5 scorer or some shit, by seasons end.

Agreed.

I’d say it’s probably

MLB
FPL (Premier League)
Basketball
Hockey
NFL


In terms of least luck involved with winning a fantasy title, to most…..
 
the amount of random bouncy ball variance in football combined with injuries is off the charts. I don't know where FPL ranks, but just using that list:

MLB
FPL (Premier League)
Basketball
Hockey










NFL
 
I was right in taking the Lions to win outright, but wrong to parlay it with over 54 points.

Oh well.
