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.
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.
