Week 15: The disgusting, horrible, no good, very bad playoff week

Gross. Ooooh man, what a week for Fantasy Football Semis. The chart above (not my work) sums up all the scoring players in each position, which shows you that this is the lowest scoring week 15 this decade. Some notable high scoring players that possibly killed your team this week: QB: Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Jameis Winston, Jared Geoff RB: Philip Lindsay, Aaron Jones, Lamar Miller WR: Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Tyreek Hill, Jarvis Landry, Adam Theilin TE: Gronk, Ertz, Ebron And that's not even counting superstars that sat this week including Odell, Conner, and Melvin Gordon As it turned out, two of our semifinalist teams were relatively unaffected by the collapse, while their opponents were absolutely devastated by it. This resulted in the most lopsided semifinals I've seen yet, with an average margin of victory of 62.5 points. Ouch. Matchup Preview There's only one matchup worth previewing now, our championship! NB Power...

Week 14: Playoff knockouts, Pickups of the Y E A R

Knockout!!! Pour one out for the fallen. Wampus Cats and Cool Beans have both been eliminated from championship contention, leaving just 4 teams a shot at glory. Eagle Powers survived Gurley's worst game of the season thanks to "Tight End" Jaylen Samuels and a resurgent Dalvin Cook, while Goofy Gang outscored the other 3 teams playing this week with huge performances from Saquon and Jarvis Landry. These teams now have to face Dakstreet Boys and NB Power, who got to watch comfortably from the sidelines during their bye. Matchup Previews NB Power (8-5) v Goofy Gang (7-6) It's the biggest father vs son showdown since last season's championship game, and the closest projected scores we've had in the playoffs. After starting the season 1-3, Goofy Gang has now won 5 of his last 6 games thanks to some timely in season pickups, and NB Power seems to have benefitted greatly from his name change, pushing Wampus Cats out of the 2nd seed on a 3 game win st...

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 ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ ...
