End of year congrats, to the 6 teams that survived and went on to the playoffs this year. First time we had no Double Digit division winner, and first time no team finished with less than 3 or 4 losses, even the (Cough) bad teams, still all had 5-7 wins, and what a crazy year of a few, quite a few teams scoring over 140!! almost had our first 200!! and at the same time, quite a few games of teams only in the low 50's, so go figure.
Not only that, but sorry VIESTER gets the dubious honor of being the first team ever to have the second most points in a season, and finish 6-8 and not make the playoffs, noting like being either the second highest but playing the highest.
But good luck, see if Fake News does what only Mr Salty and 007 have done, I think Go-Pack-Go has,, the repeat!! Will Winnebago seek a second title on only third season? Will 007 lose next week right away? then be insufferable all the way though 2026 draft? Will Cosmic go crazy scoring, or lay an egg, then the Sweetness,, will pull a Bears so not to concerned on that end 😊😊. Again good job everyone one of the more even seasons I can remember, no dominate team. Cheers 🍻
To clarify bidding, not that I should,
Bidding THE SYSTEM is set up by RTS Sports and awards players when bidding is a tie, tie goes to the team with the worst "RECORD" always has, always will, the SYSTEM does not recognize individual leagues playoff seeding. Playoff schedule I set up manually. The SYSTEM can't all of a sudden have a new computer program to recognize various 100's of leagues individual playoff formats. WE CAN'T ALTER THE PARAMETERS after 14 weeks for 2 weeks of playoff seeding. That is changing the bidding rules set in place. The SYSTEM Awards Bids and this has always been in place when a tie is involved to the team with the Lower Record, and if two teams (or more) have the same record and bid the same amount it, the SYSTEM WILL AWARD to the team with lowest point total. Three teams all bid $1 on Isaiah Likely, Fake News, 007 & Go-Pack-Go each bid $1 on Ravens TE, although Go-Pack-Go is a higher seed in the "Playoffs" and Fake News a Lower Seed,, Player awarded to Go-Pack-Go BECAUSE THE SYSTEM AWARDS TO THE TEAM WITH A LOWER OVERALL RECORD. THE SYSTEM ONLY RECOGNIZES RECORD not individual 100's of league manual playoff seeding. The system is pretty simple, all teams get a budget, you want a player? bid more than the others in this case, Fake News and 007, should have bid $2 instead of $1. The System recognizes that Fake and 007 have better records than Go-Pack-Go. Go-Pack-Go is awarded the player, plain and simple, Bidding in our league, with the RTS System, awards to record not seed.
I can't just change the bidding rules and parameters from record to seeding, If I were to do that, and give Isaiah Likely to Fake News because they felt slighted because of seeding?, then I need to advise Go-Pack-Go of this "change" from players awarded on Seeding, not Record, to give him an opportunity to bid more, same goes for 007 and all the playoff teams. Football as we know, ain't always 100% fair, ask New Orleans 11-5 in 2010 why they had to go on the road and play a 7-9 Seattle team. Saints of course lost.
However, we can take a vote next year on "Bidding Vs Seeding" next year, the big problem is, means have to shut down the bidding, and do it manual, manual means commissioners (K & TJ) will be able to see everyones bids. I'm pretty sure everyone does not want that. Or we have to then go back to the dinosaur ages of the 80's and early 90's and call in our bids to a selected nonparticipant team that didn't make the playoff's and then wait until that person calls TJ or I and gives us all the bids, then we have to look it all over and then award players, go back in the system, update teams budgets, rosters, F/A Pool. etc. Or, keep the system in place, and if a "Lower Seed" is awarded a player over a higher seed in a bidding tie, TJ or I have to go in, reverse it place money back, place players back, and dump other players awarded and not awarded.
Second topic, playoff potentially ties,, The League we used to award higher seed home field advantage and 3.5 points, then we lowered it to 1.5, then a few years ago, at draft, we took a league vote, eliminated the 1.5 and voted in favor of higher seed in case of a tie, gets the win. Partly because once we went to a decimal system to try and eliminate ties in the regular season, the league voted to eliminate the 1.5 as if it's a tie what was the point as the higher seed gets the win then regardless of having 1.5 or just the "win" So we all (excluding Winnebago & Betty, Mookie as just joined a couple years ago) the other 9 teams in this league for well over 15 years, voted higher seed in a playoff tie, gets the win.
I'm not getting 41 minutes of my life back for all this, so there ya have it. Happy CHRISTMAS and good luck to last team standing to win the coveted TJKFL Bowl and as much bragging rights as ya can muster up.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 27 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins. The 42-year-old signal-caller completed 85.2% of his passes, the second-highest in a game of his storied career. Rodgers and the Steelers' offense got off to a slow start with punts on their first three drives, but then they found the end zone on four consecutive drives en route to a dominant win. The veteran peppered running back Kenneth Gainwell with seven underneath targets to pick up easy yardage, then threw touchdown passes on back-to-back drives to former Green Bay Packers teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the opening drive of the second half and D.K. Metcalf on the ensuing possession. Rodgers has put together two of his best games of the season in the past two weeks and will look to stay hot next week against the Detroit Lions on the road. It won't be an easy matchup, but Rodgers should be forced to throw plenty in a game with shootout potential.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado had one carry for a yard in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 15. Demercado also had two catches for zero yards on three targets. The 26-year-old had a quiet performance in his first game back after missing three games due to an ankle injury. Bam Knight (ankle) was carted off the field early on Sunday and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Michael Carter then slid into the RB1 role and dominated carries the rest of the game. With the Cardinals unsure of Knight's status for Week 16, Demercado could be in for a bigger workload against the Atlanta Falcons. If Knight can't play next week against the Atlanta Falcons, Carter and Demercado would split work in the backfield. It is worth noting that Demercado had out-snapped Carter in two consecutive games before suffering his own ankle injury. Heading into Week 16, Demercado is worth monitoring on waiver wires ahead of his matchup against the Falcons.
From RotoBaller
Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller recorded seven receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Waller scored the only touchdowns of the night for the Dolphins and notched his second two-touchdown game of the season, with the other coming back in Week 4 against the Jets. Both touchdowns came in garbage time in the fourth quarter as Miami's offense struggled to generate anything for most of the game. The 33-year-old tight end was quiet in the last two games after returning from a pectoral injury, totaling three catches for 60 yards on six targets, but he remains a dangerous threat in the red zone. Waller profiles as an interesting streamer in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have been the worst defense in the league against tight ends.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had 14 carries for 56 yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 15. Carter also had four catches for 38 yards on four targets. The 26-year-old was the next man up in the Cardinals' backfield after Bam Knight (ankle) was carted off the field early in the game. Carter was able to step into the Cardinals' RB1 role and display his versatile skill set in the run and pass games. With the Cardinals unsure of Knight's status for Week 16, Carter's fantasy stock is rising and should be on fantasy managers' radars. If Knight can't play next week against the Atlanta Falcons, Carter and Emari Demercado would split work in the backfield. Carter could be in for a bigger role in the Cardinals' offense and is worth picking up off the waiver wire going into Week 16.
From RotoBaller
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave hadn't done much with his increased opportunities since Tucker Kraft suffered a season-ending knee injury. However, he had season-highs in catches (four), targets (six), and receiving yards (52) in the 34-26 loss to the hosting Denver Broncos on Sunday. The 25-year-old former second-rounder has seen 10 targets in the last two weeks, catching six of them for 74 yards. Musgrave has yet to find the end zone in 2025, but the good news is that he has little competition for targets at his position, and he could see more work going into a crucial Week 16 divisional game against the Chicago Bears this Sunday if receiver Christian Watson (chest) is unable to play. Musgrave caught two of his four targets for 22 yards in the Week 14 win over the Bears at Lambeau Field. Coming off a season-best performance in Denver, Musgrave is one to watch as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer if Watson is inactive in Week 16.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson caught five of his 11 targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 15 loss against the Houston Texans. Wilson continues to step up in the Cardinals' offense and produce good numbers with Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) sidelined. In four games without Harrison on the field, Wilson has seen double-digit targets in each game and has hauled in at least 10 catches in three of those games. Over the last five weeks, Wilson has seen the most targets in the NFL and has averaged 13.4 targets per game. As long as Harrison is sidelined, Wilson should be deployed as a strong WR1 option in fantasy football. Even when Harrison returns, Wilson is still a high-end WR3/flex with WR2 upside. Arizona will face a more favorable matchup in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons.
From RotoBaller
Across 14 games this season, New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson has recorded 45 receptions for 528 yards and five touchdowns on 72 targets. While the 24-year-old has yet to demonstrate explosive upside, he's been highly consistent. Johnson has recorded exactly three catches in seven of his last eight games and double-digit PPR fantasy points in six out of his last eleven contests. Johnson has also dominated tight end snaps in New York this season, playing 80% or more of the team's offensive snaps in 12 out of 14 weeks. The Giants will host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16 before a more favorable matchup in Week 17 in Las Vegas against the Raiders. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Johnson could be worth targeting as a streaming option off the waiver wire at the tight end position.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (knee, hamstring) was listed on Monday's practice report as a non-participant, per John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Adams was forced to exit early from the Rams' Week 15 win over the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. Los Angeles did not actually hold a practice on Monday, so Monday's report is an estimation of his status leading into the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Across 14 games this season, Adams has hauled in 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. If he's unable to play in Week 16, Rams wideouts Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell could see increased roles. Los Angeles tight end Colby Parkinson, who caught two touchdowns against Detroit, could also continue to see more targets.
From RotoBaller
Across 14 games this season, Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has recorded 441 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 103 touches. The 26-year-old is the primary RB2 in Green Bay behind star Packers running back Josh Jacobs. Wilson has logged just 27 yards from scrimmage on nine touches over the last three weeks, demonstrating his limited standalone fantasy value. However, Jacobs has been on the injury report for several weeks due to a lingering knee issue, and Wilson would be in a position to boost his production if Jacobs were to miss time. In the one game Jacobs has already missed this season, Wilson recorded 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Wilson could be a player worth targeting on the waiver wire in case Jacobs suffers an injury.
From RotoBaller
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz had a big game in his team's Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals, recording eight receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. Over his last nine games, Schultz is earning 7.3 targets per contest. While he's not an explosive player, Schultz's proven target-earning ability gives him a relatively safe production floor for fantasy managers. He's racked up at least 11 PPR fantasy points in five out of the last seven weeks. Houston will host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16 before traveling to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers in Week 17. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams. Schultz is a viable streaming option for managers in need of tight end help to target on the waiver wire.
From RotoBaller
Across 14 games this season, San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has recorded 349 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 81 carries. The 26-year-old has spent the entirety of the 2025 season in a backup role behind star 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. Robinson Jr. has yet to record double-digit carries in a game in 2025 and has just seven receptions on the season, so his standalone fantasy value is limited. However, if McCaffrey were to suffer an injury, Robinson Jr. would immediately become a viable starting fantasy running back. He's proven he can succeed in a lead-back role in the past, racking up 799 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 187 carries across 14 games with the Washington Commanders in 2024. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Robinson Jr. is worth rostering just in case McCaffrey goes down.
From RotoBaller
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden has mostly had an underwhelming rookie season to this point, recording 27 catches for 341 yards on 37 targets across 11 games. The 22-year-old has not played more than 37% of Green Bay's offensive snaps in any game since Week 8. However, Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) suffered a chest injury in Week 15 that has his status for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears in question. If Watson is sidelined, Golden could have an opportunity for increased playing time. In Week 15, three of Golden's four targets and two of his three receptions came after Watson exited the game. In PPR fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where Golden remains available, he should be added off the waiver wire and stashed until more information is known about Watson's injury status.
From RotoBaller
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) underwent successful ACL surgery in Dallas on Monday. Mahomes went under the knife with Dr. Dan Cooper to repair a torn left ACL that he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He'll immediately begin the rehab process, and his timetable to return is unknown right now. The 30-year-old is obviously out for the rest of this season and faces an uphill battle to be ready for the beginning of the 2026 campaign. In his absence, Gardner Minshew will take over under center for the final three games of the regular season with the Chiefs officially eliminated from playoff contention. With Mahomes out the rest of the way, KC's offensive weapons need to be downgraded in fantasy football.
From RotoBaller
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) could be in danger of missing more time down the stretch. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Odunze is currently considered week-to-week. The second-year wideout missed his second straight game in Week 15 due to a stress fracture in his foot. The organization is keeping all options on the table in the final three weeks of the regular season. The Bears will likely need to lean on DJ Moore, Luther Burden III (ankle), and Olamide Zaccheaus over the next few games if Odunze misses more time. It seems unlikely that Odunze will be ready in time for the upcoming Week 16 rematch with the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates, but they need another option lined up in case Odunze sits out another game.
From RotoBaller
New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was unproductive during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, tying his season low with one target in the defeat. The third-year wideout has hit a slump over the last few weeks. Boutte hasn't surpassed 35 receiving yards in a game since Week 8. The good news is that Boutte is heading into a plus matchup against the Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 16. The expectation is that the Patriots should have more success passing the ball in that one. Boutte isn't a high-end streaming option, but he should offer deep-league appeal in a flex spot. He has hauled in six touchdowns and is one of the better red-zone threats in this offense. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back outing from the 23-year-old this weekend.
From RotoBaller
Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) is considered questionable to return to Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie back suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter of this contest when he was tackled for a loss in the backfield and got his leg caught awkwardly underneath him. He limped off the field with the help of the training staff. Before exiting, Gordon had rushed the ball twice for no gain. His absence should mean an expanded role for backup Jaylen Wright. Lead back De'Von Achane figures to see a slightly larger role in the backfield as well.
From RotoBaller
Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota will remain under center for the rest of the regular season after the team officially shut down Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the final three games. Mariota has started seven games this season and has posted top-10 fantasy value in three of them. The 32-year-old had a less-than-ideal outing versus the New York Giants on Sunday, throwing for 211 yards with a touchdown while rushing the ball 10 times for 43 yards on the ground. He doesn't have the strongest arm, but his dual-threat ability gives Mariota streaming appeal the rest of the way. He'll head into a challenging matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. Mariota should still offer superflex value as a QB2 in a difficult home matchup.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has quietly been putting together strong numbers since taking over as the starting QB in Week 6. Since he took over for the injured Kyler Murray (foot), Brissett has thrown at least two touchdowns in every game except one. The 33-year-old has surpassed 300 passing yards in three of his last five contests. Brissett is posting strong numbers in this pass-heavy Cardinals offense. It has helped that the Cardinals have been playing from behind quite often, forcing Brissett to pass frequently. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option for Week 16 should take a hard look at Brissett. He'll draw a plus matchup against the Atlanta Falcons defense this weekend. Brissett has been posting nearly top-10 QB numbers every week since he took over under center, and he is a viable option for fantasy managers in need of help.
From RotoBaller
The Denver Broncos placed safety Brandon Jones (pectoral) on Injured Reserve on Monday, according to Aric DiLalla of DenverBroncos.com. Jones will be forced to miss the final three regular-season games and the first postseason game for Denver after he was injured in Sunday's 34-26 win over the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 15. It's a notable loss for the Broncos in their secondary to close out the regular season, but thankfully for Denver, they've already clinched a playoff spot. With Jones out for at least the next four games, Devon Key will be the team's starting free safety, beginning this Sunday against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The 27-year-old Jones is in his sixth year in the NFL (second with Denver) in 2025, and he has 78 tackles (43 solo), half a sack, one interception, seven pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in 14 games.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), who left Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions with a hamstring injury, is considered week-to-week, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's an aggravation of a previous injury he was dealing with, but Rapoport writes that it will almost certainly "knock him out" for Thursday night's big divisional clash against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams aren't ruling out the 32-year-old veteran just yet for Week 16, but unfortunately, fantasy managers in their league's semifinal matchup probably won't have him available this week. The six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro currently leads the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions in 14 games in his first year in L.A., so it will be a big loss for the Rams' offense if he's out. Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington will have bigger roles behind Puka Nacua, as will tight end Colby Parkinson, who had two touchdowns in Week 15.
