Commish Commentary Week 14: Round 2, FIGHT!

Welcome to Round 2 of the playoffs! After 13 weeks of fantasy football it can be a weird thing to be on bye week, knowing that all your players are in games but they aren't actually scoring points for your team. Luckily everyone gets to play again in week 15, so hopefully you're all still paying attention.

RECAPS

Davante Adams
🤓🖒🏈 > Colton's Team
Well, I can't say I saw this one coming. After writing basically an entire commentary about all the great players Colton had picked up to enable his winning streak, his luck ran out at the worst possible time as 🤓🖒🏈 kicked him out of the playoffs in the first round. A lot of 🤓🖒🏈 's recent success can be attributed to her bold decision to keep starting Philip Rivers over Terrific Tom, and it paid off again this week as Rivers more than doubled his score. 🤓🖒🏈  was also propelled by Davante Adam's 2 TDs as Cleveland proved once again that even when given the opportunity to win, they will always find a more clever way to lose. Colton's only real standout player was K Boswell, who kept this from being a 20+ point loss. 🤓🖒🏈 moves onto the semifinals, while Colton's Team will play for 5th place.


Deandre Hopkins
Chunky Salsa > Perezoso Majestuoso
Remember last week when I said this game would come down to the 6 star RBs because any of them were capable of putting up huge games? Even I didn't expect this many points. All 6 RBs outscored their projections, with the worst score being the lowly 14 points put up by Melvin Gordon. As it turned out though, the real difference was at the WR position, where Hopkins tripled the combined score of Perezoso's receivers. Neither team got anything good from the QB position, so that should be a cause for concern for both players going forward. This marks 3 consecutive losses for Majestuoso vs Chunk Salsa's squad. I'm not saying he's cursed or anything. But maybe. I mean he could be right?

PREVIEWS

Winners Braket: Semis

Zane's Team vs Chunky Salsa

Zane's team has to be super thankful to have won a week one bye week and avoided Mixon's concussion issues as well as Gronk's suspension. He should now be coming into the semi's at close to full strength. I say close, because Chunky Salsa is fortunate enough to be facing him in the semi's instead of week 16 when he would gain Zeke back as well. Chunk Salsa is going to have to hope for similar performances out of his RBs as last week if he doesn't want to get steamrolled by a team with only 1 sub 100 point game since week 5.

Projections are so close in this one that it's hard to call, but I'm going to lean towards Zane's team. Chunky Salsa's players exploded in week 14, but they put up horrible games in 12 and 13, and could do so again this time.

Greg's Grand Team vs 🤓🖒🏈

Latavius Murray or Alfred Morris? Cooks, Tate, or Sanu? These are the questions GGT is probably going to be pondering over the next few days as he happens to have a lot of usable players with very few clear favorites (Gurley, Allen). After holding 1st or 2nd place basically all season he's now matched up against the hottest team in the league. 🤓🖒🏈 comes into this semi having won 4 of her last 5 games include a #3 vs #6 upset last week. She's got a pretty big decision to make as well. Brady or Rivers? The whole season could depend on it.

I doubted 🤓🖒🏈 last week, and I was sorely mistaken, so I'm picking her to win again and continue riding this upset train right into the finals.

Not The Winners Bracket

Players in the "not the winners" bracket get lighting round style previews because I'm feeling lazy. Here we go!

Rodgers That 🏈💪 vs travis's team: Rodgers That has the emoji advantage, her RBs are good, and her name doesn't end in " s's ". Pick - Rodgers That

Perezoso Majestuoso vs Colton's Team: Perezoso has a cool picture, but his name is more annoying to type. Both teams got upset in week 14, meaning they'll both bounce back this week. maybe. It's a toss up, so Pick - Colton's Team for no particular reason

Both teams have 3 emojis - no advantage.
Both teams have doggos for their pictures - also no advantage. 
Team... Brittany's team has emoji's that don't load on my iphone or mac (how?) - advantage Look Out Zaner. 
She also has mom advantage, and that is a powerful thing. Pick - Look Out Zaner

Good luck in the playoffs, see you all next week for the penultimate commish commentary.

Kickoff 2019

Football Season is Upon us.. Man, that feels really nice to type. We're just weeks away from finding out Are the browns actually good now? Will the entire Cowboys offense hold out for better contracts? Can Antonio Brown recover from his frostbitten feet (seriously?) Who's going to dominate our draft only to watch their team fall apart in the final weeks of the season? There are two important parts to this post, and both of them require your participation; draft dates and rule changes. If nothing else, please send me your draft dates ASAP Draft Dates In order to avoid drafting players who get injured in the preseason, I've set the earliest date for this poll after Preseason Week 2. Check all the dates you're available, or at least X out the days you definitely can't make it. VOTE HERE Potential Rule Changes Alright, now for the rules. First, I want to note that we don't have to change anything from last year, but I always like ...

Commish Commentary Week 4: Colton gets a win edition

With 4 weeks in the books, we're officially 1/4 of the way through the Fantasy season. What does that mean? As badly as your team may have done, or as much as you may be dominating the league, there is a lot of football left to be played, and many of the people on your rosters today will be sitting on waivers in the coming weeks. These middle weeks are often when breakout players are picked up that win championships, so don't be afraid to drop people that are underperforming just because you drafted them.  So uh, lets do some recaps.  Colton's Team(86.44) > travis's team (82.08)  Lets get things started with the most exciting matchup of the week. This game was decided by only 4 points, and swung from a clear travis victory to Colton's first win of the season through the final 2 games of the week. A huge 20 point game from the Seattle Defense brought Colton's chances back to life Sunday night before a measly 35 yards from T. Hill nailed the coffin shut on Mond...

Week 13: Playoffs, Survivor Champion

A rare image of that one time the Jags were actually good Playoffs are here! The final week of the regular season included a bit of Chaos as Goofy Gang was able to claw his way into 6th place, while NB Power pushed into a 1st round bye. This next week, there are only 2 matchups because all of our losers bracket teams are on bye, as well as our league leaders. Survivor The winner of our very first survivor challenge has been crowned! Congrats Eagle Powers. The key to this game was consistency, and Eagle Powers has been consistently crushing it ever since this challenge started in week 5. With an average score of 139 and low of 113 during that period, this team has cruised to 4 eliminations (double that of the next best team) on the backs of Gurley, Luck, and Davante Adams, as well as insane waiver pickups in Conner, Chubb and Kerryon. How they're only 7-6 in the actual standings is the greater mystery. Survivor Standings : Eagle Powers: 132 Points this week ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ ...
