Anyone who has played fantasy (Football, Baseball, Basketball, etc) has had some bad experiences/heartbreak in terms of fantasy. Let's hear em.
To start I have had a couple bad one this year.
I play in 2 leagues for money atm. In 1 league my commish mistakenly had the playoffs start last week and then end after week 15. He meant to have it end after week 16 to ignore anyone sitting out for week 17. Well. In this league I lost Leonard Fournette for that week because of a suspension. I had the highest scoring team in the league. This was my team. Rivers, McCaffrey, Fournette, Sony Michel, Marlon Mack, Theilen, OBJ, Tyler Boyd, DJ Moore, Gronk, Bills D, Lutz. My team was stacked. Yet because of my commish's mistake I ran into a buzzsaw and got my ass kicked by a 6-6 team and lost 152.8 to 129.2. So if not for a mistake my playoffs SHOULD start this week with a full team that honestly, was the best in my league.
In my other league I have a solid team and last week was a must win for me as I was holding onto the #4 seed in the playoffs. Only 4 teams get in while the team behind me has road Mahomes all year. I have 1 win advantage over him. This is a 6 point per passing TD league so he has literally road Mahomes all year. Last week he dominates his opponent. Guess who my 2 top RB's are in that league? Fournette and fucking Kareem Hunt that piece of shit (not for ruining my team but for his actions). I was forced to start TJ Yeldon and Gus Edwards and needless to say I got crushed. I am now tied record wise but am the odd man out because after last week I now own a worse points forced score. I have also lost Sanders my #1 WR for the year. In the span of 1 week my team has been destroyed.
So yeah, vent here and tell me what some of your fantasy heartbreaks have been. I'm actually interested in what other people have to say about there fantasy teams because it really is a fun hobby of mine. I play NFL, MLB, and NBA despite not following the NBA much at all.

This is my first year playing fantasy football so my biggest heartbreak is still to come (probably this weekend with my first playoff game).
There is a guy in my league who lost a game a month or so ago when his QB, Tom Brady, took a knee at the end of the game resulting in a loss of yardage and points. He lost by less than a single point. As the season played out, it turns out that he would've made the playoffs if not for that single loss so that's gotta sting. He also drafted Le'Veon Bell with his first pick in the draft so all in all a sucky year for him.

In one of my leagues I have the highest scoring team and one more win win clinch the top seed. Just last week I was playing a guy who had not updated his team in over a month and His team had 4 holes in the lineup due to injuries and such, so all looked good. Well, this is the week that Drew Brees decided to mail it in, Adam Theilen shit himself, etc, etc, etc. I lost!!  |

I am killing it this season so I have nothing to say there, but I had the worst bad beat in fantasy history a few years ago. I needed one more win to make the playoffs with three games left. I lost all three games with the second highest score in the league each week. That is almost a statistical impossibility. Not to mention I lost the final week outscoring the third highest scorer by over 25 points and I lost by .3. The hilarious part is that I was by far the highest scorer in the playoffs and would have won the entire thing.

This happened to a friend of mine, not me, but she had won her league's championship by only a few points and had the check in hand when she got a call not to deposit it. She had lost, as it turned out when there was a stat correction. A sack was taken away from her defense, or something like that, and she ended up losing by less than a point.
That's about as shitty as it gets.

A guy in my league just dropped Derrick Henry hours before this game. I bet he's regretting it now...

I'm still pissed over one of our old IMDb baseball leagues. I don't remember what year it was or who was the commish that year.
The asshole commissioner decided to change the rules well after the season started. Completely ruined the season.

I personally don't think QB kneels should hurt yardage totals in terms of fantasy scoring. |

Not to the extent of 4 holes but I've lost to somebody starting 2 players on bye weeks before. I'm upset for a good few days when shit like that happens. It always seems to be just 1 player that destroys you too. |

I've seen a few times where a team finishes the season with the highest scoring yet misses the playoffs. I don't think I've ever seen 3 straight weeks of the 2nd highest facing the 1st highest score of the week. That shit would piss me off so badly. |

That's about as shitty as it gets. I've seen them in a regular season matchup where it usually changes a pass caught to a rushing attempt or something but I've never seen it happen in a Championship matchup. That's just dirty. If I won the money off a stat correction I'd be tempted to split the winnings with the other person. I'd feel too dirty taking it all because of that. I'd claim the trophy no doubt but I'd split the money I think. |

I would have quite. That is literally the worst thing a commish can do in a league. I'm assuming they changed the rules to benefit themselves? Do you happen to remember what the changes were? |

The league was set with no transaction limits and innings limit. Taking that into account, I didn’t draft any pitchers until the last 8 or 12 rounds, whatever the mandatory pitcher roster spots there were. So my offense was stacked because I didn’t worry about drafting pitchers in early rounds. I streamed my pitchers for the most part to some limited success. Some nights my pitchers were on fire and other nights were complete duds with no good pick ups. About 2 or 3 months into the season, the commissioner and one of his sports board buddies LABicycle decided that streaming pitchers was cheating. The commish change the transaction limit to something like 3 or 5 transaction a week and set an innings cap. So I’m sitting in 1st place when this happens with almost 4 months left in the season and approaching my innings cap. That’s 4 months of no pitching. I protested to no avail so after a few days, I quit the league and dumped every player on my roster except for I think 2 or 3 undroppable players. About 2 weeks later, the commissioner changed the settings back to the original settings. I didn’t play in the IMDb sport board league for several years after that. I only came back when pops took over running the league. |

Today, with about everything that is happening. This one is pretty bad. In a league I'm fighting for a playoff spot I'm facing a 5-8 team and it just so happens they have Amari Cooper and George Kittle who combined for 427 yards and 4 TDs. Cooper getting 49.7 points and Kittle getting 34. He also has Kenyon Drake who scored the TD on the game ending hook and ladder against the Pats. So I'm dead. |
