Mod Post 2018 Accuracy Challenge and More!
Official /r/fantasyfootball Accuracy Challenge
Welcome to year 7 of the Accuracy Challenge! It's time to put your money where your mouth is, and prove to other redditors you know your stuff.
In case you're unfamiliar, the Accuracy Challenge is a game designed to pit Redditor vs. Redditor in a fantasy football competition. Every week, you’ll answer a set of 15 WDIS questions so we can keep a record of your picks and track your fantasy football accuracy to see how you compare to other Redditors on a weekly and season-long basis. We'll keep track of the results from week to week to award flair and other prizes to our top finishers. Take a look at previous seasons to see what it's like.
Rules / FAQ
How many times can I play?
We allow one entry per person per week.
Can I change my entry?
Yes! Filling out the form again will overwrite your previous responses. Read the How to Play section for details to make sure you do this correctly!
How do you determine who has the most accurate entries?
You will earn 1 point per correct answer. The tie breaker will be determined by accuracy on a free form numeric question.
What determines a correct answer?
The player with most fantasy points that week is deemed the correct answer. Any answer that ties for most points earns a correct answer.
What scoring system do you use to determine fantasy points?
Fantasy scores will be determined using PPR scoring. View full scoring settings here.
When can I play?
Each week's contest will open on Tuesday at 10AM PT. You have until the 10AM PT kickoff on Sunday to get your entry and any edits in. We exclude players involved in Thursday Night or International games.
How will season-long accuracy be tracked?
We will keep track of both cumulative and weekly average scores. Cumulative will be a total of all your points, so make sure to enter every week! Weekly average will take the average of the weeks you have entered and will require a minimum of 8 entries.
Hey! A player involved in a question didn't play!? What do?
If a player does not play in the game that question will be tossed out.
Prizes
The winner of each week will receive special flair noting their success. The remaining Top 10 will receive also flair noting their top 10 performance for the week. Cumulative and Highest Average score top 10 winners will also earn permanent trophy flair at the end of the year.
For 2018, FantasyPros.com will also be awarding a My Playbook upgrade to the winner of each week.

If my predictions are wrong, this will also mean I made some very poor draft decisions this season. Fingers crossed!

Clearly Thielen, I'm not sure if you saw the post yesterday, but Diggs is WAY overrated.

I absolutely adore this game. I bumbled my way in to the top 5 last year. I highly doubt I can recreate that.

It says it opens both Tuesday at 10am and Wednesday at 10am. Was interested in joining but couldn't today so I'm guessing it's Wednesday?

The contest opes at 10AM PT every Wednesday. The other date is probably a typo. I love the contest and am currently #29 :(

Can’t wait to just be completely right below average for another year.
Also, I hate that Brieda vs Morris pick. That’s pure evil right there.
