Trevor Lawrence (was supposed to be Lamar Jackson!)
Jahmyr Gibbs
CeeDee Lamb
Papasmurf sitting on his three boosters! And has very low chance of finishing below me (Trevor Lawrence vs Joe Burrow), and certainly even lower chance of finishing 150 points lower than me. His chance to survive has to be -1000 or so and his chance to win the contest -200 at least.
… and we are set for Week 17! Good luck all, and Happy Holidays!

No strong performances from anyone. Javonte got a touchdown which saves an otherwise bland day. Rough start for me and Papasmurf.

Looks like I need 104 or less from Stafford to survive. Papasmurf is likely to lose 2 boosters in the process of eliminating me. actfast may have to use his 1 if Stafford scores 155 or less.
It looks like 114 and 165. Barring a Stafford injury, it looks like abstract is in trouble and the remaining 4 of us will head into week 18 with 1 booster each.
Props to 3rookie with the high risk / reward combo of Shough and Olave that paid off.
Tough when you save the absolute studs (not Lawrence, was supposed to be Lamar) but Gibbs and CeeDee and they lay eggs in really meaningful games for them. And Shough and Olave hurts. They both had nothing for the first 30% of the game. And Chase Brown has been mostly a bust this season and blows up this week. But alas, that is the game. Holding out hopes the Rams win 9-7 in a defensive battle. 
48 points at halftime… giving me a little bit of hope.
… and Week 17 is in the books!

Papasmurf JBurrow JGibbs CLamb 214 64 46 324Congrats to 3rookie, whose Saints combo led to winning the Week 17 booster!
Meanwhile, at the other end we have Papasmurf, with a low score of 324 … but wait!
Papasmurf has a booster, and moves up to 324+50=374… which is still the low score…
But wait once more! Papasmurf has another booster, and thus moves up to 374+50=424.
That now leaves AbstractActuary with the low score of 387… and no boosters. Thus AbstractActuary becomes our bootee of the week. Congrats on almost making it to the finish, thank you for playing, and we hope to see you back next year.
But I gotta say, what a way to go! By taking out 2 of Papasmurf’s boosters, Abstract managed to completely level the playing field in conjunction with 3rookie’s Week 17 win - I believe that’s a first in this game (definitely a first with a 4-way tie!) where there will be no booster advantage in Week 18 for anyone.
Next week we will boot THREE players, and crown a Survivor Fantasy Football Champ!
Good luck to all the survivors!

Thanks for the game Ultimate Anyone?. This is such a great game. This was my deepest run ever. So I’m happy for that. But bummed to miss the final week. But cool that I went out the way I did, completely leveling the field.

My plans for week 18 (spoilered to not confuse people).
Summary
My planned triplet was Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey, Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
I hadn’t finalized that given potential starters resting, but McCaffrey and JSN are in a very meaningful game, so they would likely be in. This is what I would have been choosing from:
QB: Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Jordan Love, Sam Darnold, Tyler Shough
RB: Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Josh Jacobs, Javonte Williams, Chase Brown, D’Andre Swift
WR: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, AJ Brown, Jaylen Waddle, Ladd McConkey, Drake London, Rome Odunze
I didn’t intend to leave this much firepower, but injuries, matchups, etc. allowed me to survive without them.
