OT - Fantasy Football Miracle, the one positive from the weekend

Submitted by RockinLoud on

So going into Monday night's game with the Falcons vs. Saints I'm behind by 11.39 points with one remaining player: Roddy White, WR for the Falcons. The guy I'm playing has no players left. Roddy has had pretty much one good game all season, despite being a pretty solid player, so my hopes of victory are pretty small.

The game begins and White catches a few passes. Yeah, good, he has like 1 point so far. Awesome. But then, on a desperation heave by Matt Ryan down the far sideline, BOOM! White catches a 68yd TD pass and puts me to within less than a point of victory. I was thinking to myself "20 yards, thats all I need, 20 yards". The next possession, BOOM! catch of... 19yards. I wait a second for the live stat tracker to update and the result, and the final score of the game was thus:

Yes, you are seeing correctly. The margin of my victory for my team - the Ninjas - was in fact the narrowest and least likely number it could possibly be, one one-hundredth of a point. A win is a win, and with a weekend of nothing but sadness, I got a little bit happier because of this.

Unbelievable and almost completely useless at the same time. But it did make me laugh, I hope in some small way it will do the same for you.

Thanks to Matt Ryan, Michael Turner and the Saints' D, I had a massive comeback last night as well. I even started a receiver and tight end who had a bye week (accidentally).

I'll take a fantasy win over a Michigan win any weekend!

Sounds like its a point per 10 yards for a WR, so one yard gains one tenth of a point.

Can't figure out where the hundredths come from...maybe somethling like 25 passing yards per point, so fractional increments of 25 yards will cause those scores
