Week 12 Commish Commentary: Elimination



First, I'm sorry this is first commentary you've gotten in 3 weeks. Last week we were traveling for Thanksgiving, but I have no idea what happened the week before. In any case, we've got two more regular commentaries left before I figure out what to do for the playoffs.

The theme this week was apparently blowout wins (and playoff elimination). The Chargers obliterated the Cowboys while the country ate Thanksgiving dinner, the Eagles almost shut out the Bears, and our 1st and 2nd place teams both crushed their opposition by more than 50 points. Lets hope for a more competitive week 13 huh?

RECAPS

Keenan Allen

Greg's Grand Team (111.54) > Chunk Salsa (54.66)

Lets just rip off the band-aid and get this one out of the way. I was one of the two teams to get buried this week, losing to GGT for the second time this season. Greg's team was lead by a second straight explosion game from Keenan Allen, and great weeks for Branin Cooks and Gurley. Hopkins was apparently the only player who was even awake for the games this week on Chunky Salsa's team as he got a pitiful 12 points from his 3 starting RBs. With this win, GGT guaranteed himself a first round bye in the playoffs.

- Low score of the week: Chunky Salsa


Robby Anderson

Perezoso Majestuoso (113.58) > Rodgers That (86.12)

If you're looking at that gif thinking "Uh, who is Robby Anderson?" you're not alone. Surprisingly he's a fantasy relevant WR for the NY Jets. And even more surprisingly, he has at least 1 TD every week for the last 5 games (what?), culminating in the 29 point performance he put up for Perezoso this week. He was joined by Lev Bell, Funchess, and the Jags DST in leading Majestuoso to a pretty comfortable victory. Unfortunately for Rodgers that, this also results in her elimination from the playoff hunt. She started the week with a great game from Rudolph, but rare dud games for Ingram and McCoy brought her team back down to a sub 90 score.

Julio Jones

Colton's Team(123.16) > πŸ€¦‍♀️🀦‍♀️🀦‍♀️ (111.58)

268 total yards, 2 TDs, 44 fantasy points. Yeah,  that's why Julio still gets drafted in the first round. Colton's Team got an insane 76 points from his top two players (Julio, Kamara) as he clinched a playoff spot with his 4th straight win. It's another in a string of heartbreaking losses for triple facepalm. Her team put up another solid week with big games from Wentz, Gore, and Walker, but it just wasn't enough as an 8th loss officially eliminates her from playoffs as well.

- Highest Scoring Loser πŸ€¦‍♀️🀦‍♀️🀦‍♀️

Antonio Brown

Zane's Team (139.02) > Travis's Team (63.36)

In this week's other blowout, Antonio Brown and Gronk lead Zane's team to a near 80 point win over Travis. Zane's team also benefitted from what people hope to be Mixon's breakout game after waiting all season for him to finally do something. For Travis, there's good news and bad. The good is that despite this horrible loss, he's the only team in the bottom 4 that still technically has a chance to sneak into the playoffs. Although he would have to outscore πŸ€“πŸ–’πŸˆ by 171 points next week. Easy enough, right?

-High score of the week, Zane's Team

Tom Brady

πŸ€“πŸ–’πŸˆ (82.68) > Look Out Zaner (80.18)

Finally, we get to our only matchup of the week. Look Out Zaner was in the lead all the way up to Monday night when Justin "Best Kicker Ever" Tucker lifted πŸ€“πŸ–’πŸˆ to a narrow win with 2 4th Quarter FGs. This means an almost certain playoff berth for her team, and a disappointing elimination for Look Out Zaner. LOZ got good games from new pickup Sammy Watkins and NE's Defense, but was really let down by Jared Cook and Thomas. πŸ€“πŸ–’πŸˆgot almost nothing from her 3RBs, but good kicking, defense, and Tom🐐 Brady sealed the game for her.

- Lowest Scoring Winner πŸ€“πŸ–’πŸˆ
- Pickup of the Week, Davante Adams, πŸ€“πŸ–’πŸˆ

So that's it. The playoffs are all but set, and the last week really only serves to determine seeding. Next week instead of recaps, I'm going to preview all of our upcoming playoff matchups and make my predictions. Have a good weekend guys!

Week 12 2018 : The Final Countdown

Welp, here we are. Just one week left to determine our Survivor Winner and playoff placement. No more power rankings or playoff projections, instead we're going to focus on these final matchups and what they mean going forward. Survivor Eagle Powers put up another high score of the week to notch his 3rd elimination of the season on the backs of Chubb and Boyd. The real story here though is the tiny 1 point gap that separated Dakstreet and newly named NB Power on the chopping block. This ended up coming down to MNF as the Houston defense sacked Mariota 6 times (!!) to edge NB Power into the lead. Who's going to claim the final elimination and secure the first survivor championship?
