Congrats to Wichita Walt, our 2024 GLF champion. And to the Weemsters for being the Super Bowl winner.
There's still a game tonight, but almost everything decided already. The Winged Warriors, led by QB Josh Allen, have beaten the OG Cardinals to secure the fourth title in franchise history with an 12-5 record, previously winning in 1996, 2004 and 2016.
The Weemsters beat the Madd Dogs in the Super Bowl, their third in franchise history winning also in 2011 and 2017, but Wichita Walt winning his game denied the Weemsters from being the first team to win back-to-back championships since 1998 and 99 win Mike Friedel (no longer in the league) accomplished it. The Weemsters finish in second place with an 11-6 record, and also win the scoring title by a comfortable margin, and will end up with 50 percent of the total prize pot.
Still to be determined is third place between the Roosters and OG Cardinals, but the Roosters can claim that by closing out a win tonight against the Big Czeck. The Czeck needs two TDs from George Kittle tonight without Brock Purdy scoring, which seems unlikely. The Roosters would get to 11-6 with the win, one game ahead of the Cardinals, who would own the tiebreaker if both end up tied.
The Pickem' contest still has next week to go to determine the winner, with the Madd Dogs holding a one-game lead over the Weemsters.
More to come later with the financial payouts.
One Cinderella advances to the Super Bowl, while another falls just short, and three teams still have a chance win the league championship as we head into the final week.
The Madd Dogs entered the playoffs with a 3-10 record but have won three straight playoff games, including an upset over the top-seeded Roosters this week. They will play the Weemsters, the league's leading scorer, in the Super Bowl this week. The winner gets 20 percent of the pot for winning the playoff tournament.
Meanwhile, Wichita Walt has moved back into first place overall and will play the OG Cardinals this week in a matchup of the two highest other seeds. A win would give the Warriors the title;
Here's a rundown team by team:
Wichita Walt -- Wins the title with a win, drops to either second or third with a loss, depending on whether the Weemsters win the Super Bowl or not. The Warriors could actually drop to fourth if they lose, and the Roosters outscore the Warriors by 69 points in the final week, which seems unlikely.
Weemsters - A lot riding on the final week for the Weemsters, who have a 48-point lead in the scoring race. They could sweep all the honors if they win the Super Bowl, and Wichita Walt loses his game. That would give the Weemsters first overall, and 70 percent of the pot. The Weemsters take second if they win, and Wichita Walt wins. But if the Weemsters loses, and the OG Cardinals and Roosters both win, the Weemsters drop all the way out of the money to fourth place, though they would likely still win the scoring title.
OG Cardinals - The Cardinals made a dramatic comeback this week against the St. Louis Browns to move into third place, which gave them a matchup against Wichita Walt this week. The Cardinals can win the league championship if they win, and the Weemsters win. A loss, and they finish either third or fourth, depending on whether the Roosters win their game.
Roosters -- Eliminated from title hopes with the loss this week, they can still take second with a win, a Wichita Walt win and a Weemsters loss in the Super Bowl. They take third if the Cardinals win and Weemsters lose, but finish out of the money in fourth if both the Cardinals and Weemsters win.
Big Czeck - Unless the Big Czech outscore the Cardinals by 68 points, they lose tiebreakers to both the Cardinals and Weemsters, so the best they can likely do is fourth place with a win
Madd Dogs - It's all or nothing in the Super Bowl this week for a 20 percent share of the pot. The Dogs are also leading the pickem contest by three games, with two weeks stlll to go there.
The Scotts, Browns, Bucking Broncos and Hurricanes have been eliminated. The Broncos came so close to getting into the Super Bowl but Jordon Love not able to get that second TD Monday night. If Love had scored one more, it would have changed a lot of the things in the league seedings and title chances of several teams. The Browns are second in scoring an have a longshot chance of catching the Weemsters but must must outscore them by 48 points this week.
A couple of upsets in the playoffs this week as the No. 1 and 2 seeds fall and a couple of Cinderellas -- the Dogs and Broncs -- march on to the semifinals. The Roosters now hold the top seed and face the Madd Dogs while the hottest team in the league and leading scorer Weemsters take on the Bucking Broncos.
Two weeks left in the regular season and Wichita Walt, though they lost in the playoffs, still hold the lead in the regular season standings with more points than the Roosters. The two 9-7 teams and the two 8-5 teams are both still alive, but obviously need to win and have the leaders drop a game or two. And nobody wants to be tied with the Weemsters, who have opened up pretty good scoring leading with the Browns 40 behind in second. The non playoff teams are seeded and go 1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 5, 3 vs. 6. Next week, the Super Bowl matchup and then power seeding with 1 vs. 2, 3 vs. 4, etc., among the other teams.
With three weeks to go in the Pickem contest, the Madd Dogs hold the lead with Weemsters and Broncos not far behind.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott connected on two of three field goal attempts and converted both extra-point tries in the team's 20-13 win over the New York Giants. Elliott's lone miss came from 39 yards, marking his first failed attempt under 50 yards this season. Despite the misstep, Elliott has been a reliable weapon for the Eagles all year, with his production often tied to the scoring opportunities generated by Philadelphia's high-powered offense. As the team prepares to host the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round, Elliott will aim to return to his consistent form and deliver clutch performances when the stakes are at their highest.

The Philadelphia Eagles D/ST held their ground in a 20-13 win over the New York Giants despite resting many starters. The unit allowed 238 total yards and just 13 points, effectively stifling a struggling Giants offense. Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers made standout contributions with an interception as well as a 51-yard kick return to start the second half. As the Eagles prepare to host the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round, their defense will be a crucial factor in the team's playoff success. With key starters returning to the lineup, the Eagles defense aims to help provide the stability needed for a deep postseason run.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers finished as the WR3 in half-PPR leagues to cap off the regular season despite the 34-20 loss to the Chargers. Meyers registered nine catches for 123 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. He finishes the season with his first 1,000-yard total to go along with four touchdowns and a career-high 87 receptions. On the year, he ended up as the WR23, surpassing his previous career-best at WR24 last season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze had a disappointing game in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Green Bay Packers. The rookie receiver struggled for productivity, as he had only two receptions for 18 yards on the day. The game marked Odunze's eighth game this season with two or fewer receptions as he capped his rookie campaign with his second straight game with under 20 yards receiving. The 22-year-old receiver had an up-and-down season, finishing the year with 54 receptions for 734 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games. Depending on who the Bears bring in to call the shots, though, Odunze may enter the 2025 season with a leap forward to a solid second option for the Bears.

The New York Giants released a statement from John Mara that said head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen will both remain with the franchise. Daboll is two years removed from being named Coach of the Year and now owns an 18-32-1 record after moving in the wrong direction. Despite the dreadful 3-14 season, the Giants are willing to give their staff another season when they usher in a new era with a top draft pick. They currently own the third-overall pick in the upcoming draft.
From RotoBaller
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson stepped up in a big way during Sunday's 20-13 win over the New York Giants. Filling in as the primary receiver with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith resting for the playoffs, Dotson hauled in seven of his eight targets for 94 yards, leading the team in both receptions and receiving yards. Dotson showcased his ability to thrive when given an expanded role, proving he can be a reliable option in the passing game. As the Eagles gear up for the postseason, Dotson will return to his usual spot as the third receiving option but has shown that he can contribute effectively when called upon. Philadelphia will host the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round.
From RotoBaller
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Ainias Smith made the most of his extended playing time in Sunday's 20-13 win over the New York Giants. With A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith resting ahead of the playoffs, the rookie caught four of his six targets for 35 yards, including his first career touchdown reception. He showed flashes of his potential in the most significant game action he's seen this season. The Eagles' fifth-round draft pick has spent much of the year developing behind Philadelphia's star-studded receiving corps, but his Week 18 performance hinted at a bright future. With Brown and Smith set to return for the playoffs, Ainias will resume his backup role, but his contributions on Sunday give the Eagles more confidence in their depth heading into the postseason against the Green Bay Packers.
From RotoBaller
Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen was fairly uninvolved in the team's 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 18. The former Los Angeles Charger finished his final game of his first season with the Bears, catching three passes for 25 yards. This was Allen's second straight game with 25 receiving yards and his eighth game of the year with fewer than 40 receiving yards. The 32-year-old receiver was firmly the second-option in the receiving game behind D.J. Moore, with Allen finishing his season with 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven scores across 15 games. The former California receiver may even enter 2025 as the third option in the receiving game and maybe a decent depth piece for fantasy next season.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson capped off a poor season with a poor showing in Week 18's loss to Washington. The 25-year-old was targeted four times but caught just two passes for 12 yards. He did not score a single touchdown in the 2025 campaign and caught 57 passes for 482 yards on the season while missing some time with a concussion. Ferguson will look to rebound in 2025 with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) back under center, as he was not on the same page as Cooper Rush or Trey Lance over the back stretch of the season.
From RotoBaller
Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell saw increased usage in Sunday's 20-13 win over the New York Giants but struggled to make an impact. Gainwell logged 11 carries for just 14 yards and added two receptions for nine yards. Rookie Will Shipley outperformed Gainwell, posting 32 rushing yards and 35 receiving yards. With Saquon Barkley set to return for the playoffs, Gainwell will return to his usual backup role. While his Week 18 output was disappointing, Gainwell has shown the ability to contribute effectively when needed. The Eagles will rely on their depth as they prepare to host the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round.
From RotoBaller
The Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift saw plenty of chances out of the backfield in Week 18's 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The 25-year-old rusher saw 20 rushing attempts, though he was inefficient with those opportunities as he accumulated only 65 rushing yards. Swift added a rushing touchdown in his game, which helped bolster his production. Swift was targeted twice but was unable to reel in both targets. The former Georgia Bulldog played every game in 2024, a first in his career, and saw at least 10 touches in each game for the Bears. Swift had his least efficient, though most involved, season in his career as he had 253 carries for 959 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns while hauling in 42 receptions for 386 receiving yards on the year. Swift has a solid opportunity to continue to build on his touches in 2025, depending on who the head coach will be for the Bears.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was targeted six times in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. The third-year receiver secured four receptions for 98 yards, leading the team in both categories. Tolbert wrapped up the 2024 campaign with career highs across all metrics, as he grabbed 45 receptions for 512 yards and seven touchdowns on the season. The 25-year-old still has a year remaining on his rookie contract and will likely stick around as the Cowboys' WR3 going into 2025.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin touched the ball four times offensively on Sunday in the 23-19 loss to Washington. Turpin turned three receptions into 53 yards while also rushing once for five yards. He also ripped off a 30-yard kick return. The 28-year-old gadget player saw more involvement in the offense down the stretch with CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) out. Turpin becomes a restricted free agent in the spring, but Dallas will likely bring him back after a Pro Bowl season.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks led the team with nine targets in Sunday's 23-19 loss to Washington. Despite the heavy volume, Cooks struggled to produce. He caught just three passes for 15 yards and added a rush for a five-yard loss. The veteran was not on the same page as quarterback Trey Lance, who missed him in the end zone multiple times. The 31-year-old has a voidable contract going into the offseason, so there is a chance that he has played his final game with Dallas.
From RotoBaller
According to Ian Rapoport, the Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Doug Pederson after a disappointing 4-13 season. In three seasons with the Jaguars, Pederson led them to the playoffs once and finished with an overall record of 23-30. Pederson seemed to acknowledge that the firing was coming, so the team will look for their next coach through this offseason. Their general manager, on the other hand, will stay with the team for the time being. Reportedly, the new head coach won't go through Trent Baalke though, they'll report directly to owner Shad Khan. The team has some enticing pieces on offense with Trevor Lawrence, Brian Thomas Jr., and Evan Engram, so this could be a valuable situation for free-agent head coaches.
From RotoBaller
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had a mediocre showing in Week 18's 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The rookie QB completed 21 of his 29 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown while adding 10 yards on the ground. He did connect with DJ Moore for a 32-yard touchdown strike in the fourth quarter to give the Bears the lead. Williams had an inconsistent first season with the Bears and ended his campaign with more games passing for 150 yards or less than he had with over 250 yards. Overall, Williams threw for 3,541 passing yards with 20 touchdowns and six interceptions while rushing for 489 on 81 attempts over 17 games. The former USC Trojan could have plenty of room to grow in 2025, depending on who the Bears bring on to be their head coach. Williams will likely enter next season as a mid-to-low-tier QB2 option heading to upcoming 2025 fantasy football drafts.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys running back Deuce Vaughn acted as the team's RB2 on Sunday in the 23-19 loss to Washington following the release of running back Ezekiel Elliott. Vaughn rushed six times for 37 yards, spelling Rico Dowdle. The 5-foot-6 running back looked solid, cranking out a team-long 12-yard carry among his six rush attempts. Vaughn will look to earn a larger role going into next season as Dowdle is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the spring.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance was under center on Sunday as a starting quarterback for the first time since Week 2 of 2022. The inexperienced signal caller had a solid day, completing 20-of-34 passes for 244 yards and carrying the ball six times for 26 yards. Lance played well but struggled to convert in the red zone, with four drives ending in field goals and one ending as a turnover on downs. On the first quarter drive where Dallas failed to convert on fourth down, Lance missed running back Rico Dowdle in the end zone on what should have been an easy pass. The Cowboys ultimately fell 23-19 to the Commanders, but Lance put together a solid audition as he is slated to hit free agency in the spring.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell had a team-high eight targets in the Rams' Week 18 loss to the Seahawks, but he only managed to total 37 yards on his five catches. The third-year receiver played 55% of the team's offensive snaps, which was only the third-highest mark at receiver, but he got plenty of attention from backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Atwell finishes the season with new career bests of 42 receptions and 562 yards, although he failed to find the end zone this season. After Sunday's busy game, he will return to his regular role next week with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp available to work with Matthew Stafford in the Wild Card Round against the Vikings.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught three of six targets on Sunday for 72 yards in the Rams' 30-25 loss to the Seahawks. Robinson played more snaps than any other wide receiver and was on the field for 62 of the team's 66 offensive snaps. His six targets were fourth on the team, but he turned them into the second-most receiving yards. He finished fourth on the team in receiving yards this season but actually led the team in receiving touchdowns with seven and finished third in targets. He will return to his role as the team's third receiver next week for the playoffs as Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp return after resting against Seattle. Robinson will have touchdown-dependent upside in a reduced role against the Vikings, who have been a good matchup for receivers overall this season.
