    If I were still alive, I would have probably picked it too.

    So I'm still alive heading into the final week -- won with Tennessee in Week 15 and Chicago last week.

    This is going to be a tough one, since I've used up all the good teams.

    Here's what I have to choose from:

    Cincinnati (vs. Baltimore)
    Minnesota at Detroit
    Jets at New England
    Dallas at Giants
    Atlanta (at Tampa Bay)
    Denver (vs. Las Vegas)
    Jacksonville (at Indianapolis)
    Arizona (at Rams)
    San Francisco (vs. Seattle)
    Carolina (vs. New Orleans)
    Houston (vs. Tennessee)
    Washington at Philadelphia

    I think I'm going with Minnesota. The news that Dalvin Cook will miss the game is certainly cause for doubt, but Detroit is a giant mess, especially if Stafford can't play.

    I don't trust Dallas or Washington to seal the deal. New England would have been a no-brainer three weeks ago, but now...

    Minnesota the clear and obvious choice from that list. Cardinals and Cowboys the only other two worth considering.

    Mine had three people alive last week. I went with Tampa Bay and was pretty happy and breathing easy for the rest of the weekend about 10 minutes into that one. The other two guys both had the Bears available. Only one took them. The other went with the Browns.

    So me and the Bears guy decided to split this week. :)

    I think we would have both nailed another one. I was going with the Ravens over Cincy, he probably would have picked Minnesota. At least I would have if I were him.

    Isn't Arizona going against the Rams third-string QB? And FWIW - Minnesota cost me in a final week Survivor League game years back with a loss to the Browns - I will never forget it. Good luck.

    Yes, but it's also going against Aaron Donald and Co.

    Plus Murray is banged up and if he gets knocked out, you have garbage QB vs garbage QB

    Anyone interested in an SJ Survival League? It's about as much fantasy football as I can manage.
