It's not looking so good. You're at the bottom of your league and statistically you would probably have to run the table to make it to the playoffs. It's fantasy, unless you have some type of dynasty league, you likely aren't playing for a draft position. Is it simply pride? Maybe. Perhaps you just want to play the role of a spoiler. Both of those things are legitimate reasons to not simply give up and let your team dwindle into fantasy obscurity. You also owe it to your fellow league participants. There's nothing worse than someone giving up and allowing bye week or injured players to start and give an easy win to a team that does have playoff implications. Yes, that would fall under obligation. But this doesn't mean that it has to be all business. You can make it fun. Perhaps you could try:
- Starting players from your favorite team so that you have a double rooting interest
- Build a team based around a theme: the legal trouble team or an entire team with guys whose names begin with "J"
- Experiment with sleepers
You get the point. Continue playing, but play fast and loose. Take the opportunity to enjoy NFL Sundays and not sweat your fantasy score. Life is good, it's football season. And as a Jaguars fan I can say, there is always next season.
