15 weeks + the first week of fantasy playoffs are officially over. If your team is still in it, congratulations! I lost in one league (to my wife of all people) and won in another to get the #2 seed. If I win out, we will be in the championships for three leagues! This has been a wild season, but I am hoping to win my first fantasy championships! Three out of four ain’t so bad!
Here are my fantasy football week 16 start/sit decisions!
