Not tooting my own horn, I'm 4-7, going on 5-7 and a rent-a-win coming up in Week 13 which will get me in the playoffs. May not win, but made it after starting 0-7.

Drafted this 12 team PPR team:

QB:Ryan
RB:Chubb, Ingram, Coleman, Lat Murray, Dion Lewis, Chris Thompson, Frank Gore
WR:Juju, Diggs, DJ Moore, Corey Davis, Golden Tate, Trey Quinn
TE: Hooper, Ebron

Started off 0-7, had a case where 5 of those games I played the highest scorer on the week. But, made trades every week after week 7, sending the best players I had on bye to contending teams and getting value for the weeks matchup. Ended up with this Frankenstein team

QB: Darnold, Ryan
RB: Kamara, Jamal Williams, Ballage, Royce Freeman, Gore, Burkhead
WR: Mike Thomas, ARob, Hollywood Brown, AJ Brown, Demaryius Thomas, Renfrow, Jakobi Meyers, Anthony Miller
TE: Griffin

Probably eliminated first round, but probably one of my prouder FF achievements. Any you baws have something similar?

Started 1-5 this season and was in last place before reeling off 6 straight wins and sitting on the cusp of making the playoffs.

Couple of years ago I was 2-5, finished 6-7 and made the playoffs as the 6th seed based on points. Won the whole league, was a good but frustrating season as the worst team in out league was 5-8 and the best was 8-5

I start 0-5 once and then barely beat almost everybody to finish 7-6. I then upset the number one team in the playoffs.

Kind of a different story but worth telling. Several years ago I was in the championship game. Watching the Sunday night game I had Denver’s Def and Woodyard as an IDP. On the last play of the game I was down three points. Woodyard got a sack and got me four points. I won the league

A friend started 2-5 in our keeper league and traded Keenan Allen, Kupp, and Edelman for picks and players with keeper value. He's since won 5 in a row and clinched a playoff spot.
