MVP - Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City QB
This should come as no surprise to anyone involved with fantasy football, or the NFL for that matter. The front-runner for the MVP of the NFL was the highest scoring player in fantasy football. Not to mention, the next closest quarterback is close to 70 points away - talk about a degree of separation. Hernandez Hit Men was fortunate enough to have the best player in fantasy football and it has vaulted his team to the top of the league!
Best RB - Todd Gurley, LA Rams RB
This should also come as no surprise to anyone involved with fantasy football. Gurley finishes as the top running back in fantasy football - and he was expected to be. Gurley also finished as 2nd overall in the MVP standings. The difficult will be moving forward, as he will be in unfamiliar territory... Loser's Bracket.
Best WR - Tyreek Hill, Kansas City WR
Yes, I know Hill did not finish as the top wide receiver in the league - that honor belongs to Adam Theilen. However, Hill did record a few of the most explosive weeks this year. In his 12 game regular season schedule (fantasy football) Hill was able to surpass 30 points four times. Some owners might be against this type of "boom or bust" type of player, but there is no denying the fact that Hill is going to win you multiple games purely because of his explosive performances.
Best TE - Travis Kelce, Kansas City TE
It is no surprise that Kelce is the third player for Kansas City to make this list. Kelce has been the top
Best K - ????
In a season where there have been a record number of misses - I refuse to name a best kicker. This is a message to all NFL kickers.... DO BETTER!! Because you know all the players in the NFL will be reading this blog.
Best DEF - Chicago
Khalil Mack
Best Waiver Wire Pickup - Phillip Lindsay, Denver RB
Lindsay has been a pleasant surprise for PIMB. Lindsay is currently the 11th ranked running back in fantasy football - which places him in the RB1 territory. Lindsay is going to make a run at the top ten during the postseason and his steadfast play will be one to monitor as PIMB attempts to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Steal of the Draft - James White, New England RB, drafted 79th overall
White is currently ranked as the 8th best running back in fantasy football and the 26th best player overall. White has been a huge reason why Mr. Rodgers finds himself in the playoffs and will be a huge part of his ability to make a run. White is averaging just under 20 points per week and outside of quarterbacks (who traditionally go low in the draft) he has the highest difference between player rank and draft position.
Swindle of the Year - The Trade that Never Happened
What if I told you... it was the first time in league history that a trade has been denied
What if I told you... both team owners agreed to the trade, but it was still denied
What if I told you... the media slandered the Comissioner's name and his position was questioned
ESPN 30 for 30: The Trade
But in all seriousness, the "Swindle of the Year" has to go to The J-Bones and his acquiring of James Conner just before week one started. What did he give up for the 5th ranked running back? Jimmy Graham. The difference in weekly output? Conner: 22.3 points Graham: 9.1 points
Postseason Team to Beat: White Condomints
Did you think I would ever say anyone else? WC has the best wide receiver tandem. WC has one of the most versatile running backs in the league - Cohen. Condomints also picked up the backup to his woman beating running back - Ware. Hernandez Hit Men.... Condomints is going to wrap you up! (See what I did there???)
Now let's get to the quick wrap-up of the final week...
White Condomints (11-2) v WeinerLover (7-6)
Message: Don't mess with White Condomints!
Even after the video fiasco and losing Kareem Hunt, White Condomints was still able to score the highest points this week, making him one of the top teams to beat. It is interesting as his first round matchup will be against many of his former players.
WeinerLover was already in the playoffs before this week started. It looked as if he gave his guys a little rest - this time next week they better have performed a little better or it could be an early exit for The Lover of Weiners.

Result: White Condomints
Prediction: White Condomints.... RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: OSCARMEYER WEINERLOVER.... WRONG!!
The Trashmen (6-7) v Col. Morad (3-10)
With this win, The Trashmen guaranteed themselves a playoff spot - and it was needed. The Trashmen avoided a disaster by staying away from the huge mess at 5-8 and forced his way into the playoffs. His reward? Playing the number 1 seed, Hernandez Hit Men.
The writing was on the wall for Col. Morad well before this week, but still a controversial move to leave Fournette in the lineup. Not that he would have made up the difference, but if he would have The Trashmen might have lost and not made the playoffs. What could have been!
Result: The Trashmen
Prediction: The Trashmen.... RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: The Trashmen.... RIGHT!!
Steady Diet (9-4) v Sagging TD's (2-11)
Talk about limping into the playoffs - Steady Diet has hit a downward spiral. At least this week Steady Diet avoided the record book for the lowest point total in a week, even if it was by .2 of a point. Steady Diet is still a scary team to face in the playoffs, with Tyreek Hill and Kamara both having the ability to score over 40 points at any given time.
Sagging TD's has been abysmal this whole season. Part of it would be because of injuries, part of it would be because of matchups. Either way, not a good season - but a fantastic way to end it!
Result: Sagging TD's
Prediction: Steady Diet.... WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: Steady Diet... WRONG!!
Mike McCarthy is Gay (3-10) v M. Rodger Neighborhood (9-4)
MMIG had a rough season - even if Thielen was on the roster! You would have thought a team with Brady and his number one receiver (Edelman) might have been more productive - guess not!
Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood has been riding Barkley all season long and he hopes to continue this adventure into the postseason. Mr. R is one of the top teams and has found a few gems along the way. James White has turned into an extremely valuable running back and he will be relied upon for success.
Result: Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood
Prediction: Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood.... RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood.... RIGHT!!
Prible is My B*tch (9-4) v Hoosier Daddy (5-8)
Hoosier Daddy's season has come to an end - as he needed to win this week to even have a chance at making the playoffs. However, it does turn out that even if he did win - he would have lost out on the tiebreaker through points. It is amazing to me that a team with Russell Wilson and Todd Gurley find themselves on the outside looking in.
PIMB has done the dirty work that no other playoff team could do last year: knock out Todd Gurley. Lindsay has become one the best players for a roster that also includes Julio Jones, OBJ, and Watson. How unreal is that? Talk about a tremendous pickup - PIMB is sending a message with this big win, this is a team to be afraid of!
Result: PIMB
Prediction: PIMB.... RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Hoosier Daddy.... WRONG!!
Team Dez Nuts (6-7) v Hernandez Hit Men (12-1)
Hernandez Hit Men continues to roll over the competition - this makes it 10 weeks scoring more than 130 points (with one week being 129.6). Let it be known, if you want to beat HHM - you need to score points! Run CMC has become one the best running backs in football and Chubb has been a pleasant surprise. Let's be honest - who doesn't like a nice Chubb!
Dez Nuts winds up losing this week - but still locks up a playoff spot. In fact, Dez Nuts scored enough points that they are not even the last seed to make the playoffs. Dez Nuts beats out The Trashmen by one point to avoid this same matchup in round 1 of the playoffs! Hopefully Luck and Vinny get the message and show up or it could be an early exit for those Nuts.
Result: Hernandez Hit Men
Prediction: Team Dez Nuts.... WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men.... RIGHT!!
The J-Bones (5-8) v Grau's Beeyatch (5-8)
The J-Bones did everything in their power and came within inches of claiming a playoff spot from the grave! The J-Bones did have the toughest schedule, their opponents scored a total 1688.4 points and the next closest? 1617.4 points. Unlucky, but there is always next year!
Grau's Beeyatch also had a shot at the playoffs - but was unable to close the deal! Everyone except for Elliott and Cooper (both Thursday night games) underperformed, and that is not a recipe for success!! Good luck to both teams in the consolation bracket - I am sure you will be extremely concerned about the outcome!
Result: The J-Bones
Prediction: The J-Bones... RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Grau's Beeyatch... WRONG!!
Season Record: 43-27
Competitor Record: 42-28
