Ankle Holster
These upcoming weeks will quickly place the teams floating in the middle. Now, just because you are a team in THE HAVE NOT'S doesn't mean you can't make the playoffs and win. Last year, in round one, 3 of the 4 underdog teams pulled out a win and upset the favored team. The eventual winner finished the season with a 8-5 record. Hear me out, all you have to do is make the playoffs! It will be fun to see where the teams in the middle find themselves in the coming weeks and if any of 'THE HAVE NOT'S' make a move to shift the power in their favor. Let's see who helped their case this week....
Matchup of the Week
PEN15 Wrinkle* (5-1) v Bluffton Backup Backups (2-4)
What a way to follow up a record setting week - dropping 143.5 and crushing your opponent by 30 points! This week it was Diggs turn to have a big week and he was backed up by Ryan and Kittle. Cooper was injured early in the game this week and reports are that he was in serious pain on the sideline. He may be missing extended time which is a big loss in the wide receiver department - as the other two have been "boom-or-bust." On the flip side Jeffery, Elliott, and Wentz had a good week for Triple B. Other than that, there was not a lot of help - especially when you have an open slot in the kicker position!! Not that it would have mattered, but it is not a good look for you and your family!!!!!! Fix this sh*t in the future or forever be in your commissioner's bad graces!
Result: PEN15 Wrinkle wins

Wings of Dickarus* (5-1) v Pretty Boy is my B*tch (4-2)
This should come as no surprise to anyone that has been following the blog. Even though these teams had the same record - there was a vast difference between these two teams in terms of points for and against. It was not a good TNF for PBIMB, with Jones/White/Hilliman/Ellison only combining for just over 28 points. What do you expect when you are forced to play three Giants players against arguably the top defense in the league. On the flip side, Wings had their typical high 130's performance. Wilson is making a case for the NFL MVP award and it has vaulted him into the top spot for QB's. Wings of Dickarus finds themselves heavily in the HAVE'S category and that is thanks to finding gems like Godwin and making trades for players like Hopkins. It will be a fun ride to see if Wings (or a few others) can catch the all-time season scoring record, this has been a season for records after all!
Result: Wings of Dickarus wins

Hernandez Hit Men (2-4) v Biggus Dickus (4-2)
There once was team who struggling,
Made few a trades and now is bubbling,
Ready to burst, aiming for first
Biggus sends teams away grumbling
Think about this, Biggus scored 145.5 points - beat his opponent by almost 20 points.... and his starting QB threw 5 interceptions! Hooper has been playing out of his mind - scoring points in bunches. Edelman has benefitted greatly from having AB lose his mind. Carson has been a workhorse for a team that now relies more on their ability to score rather than their defense. Wilson is playing amazingly which has opened the door for Carson to really solidify himself as a top 10 running back.
Result: Biggus Dickus wins

Hoosier Daddy* (3-3) v The Back Hatch (2-4)
Hoosier Daddy is making a case for belonging in the HAVE'S - but the consistency just hasn't been there. Hoosier scored just 71 points last week and now has turned in 140 points. Obviously Jackson has been a superb pickup and Chubb has performed fantastic throughout the first half of the season. Samuel was a pleasant surprise this week (filling in for Adams). Hoosier Daddy is one of those teams that is going sneak into the playoffs and could very easily pull-off the upset in round one. The Back Hatch is a team that is full of big names - but they are all big names from the past. Bell/JuJu/Evans, even the Seahawks defense all were big names to be had in previous years. This year? Not so much. This is another team that will be clawing for a playoff spot and if they make - they do have the fire power to send home a giant!

The J-Bones (1-5) v Florida State Seminal Vesicle** (4-2)
If there ever was a matchup that defined the difference between the HAVE'S and the HAVE NOT'S look no further. The J-Bones need to turn it around, and they need to do it fast. A few thoughts: trade Kamara for multiple players that could fill a few holes, use Coleman in the FLEX, or even switch up the mojo and throw a boom or bust player in the lineup. On the flip side, FSSV can do no wrong. He is now the first two-time belt holder - and probably the only one that can actually fit into the belt! McCaffrey has been the stud of fantasy football this year and his usage rate is through the roof. Freeman had a great week and Brady played well. What really sets FSSV apart from others is the fact that the Patriots defense is currently 14th best player in all of fantasy football. The defense is currently FSSV second highest ranked position - it really has been an unbelievable season for the defense.

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams* (4-2) v ...And Your Johnson (1-5)
Well, well, well.... when will Johnson take my advice? I think some people think that I just write things in this blog to try and put thoughts in people's minds so that I can get them do certain things that will benefit my team - there is some truth to this. However, I also genuinely try to give out advice here and there. There are a lot of holes that need filled in this lineup - take a top dog and make a trade to fill those holes. Mahomes is obviously one of the top QBs, Kelce was a top TE - but has not performed like it. Williams had a great week and looked fantastic, but other than that - nothing is going well. Take a stallion and fill a few holes - or enjoy hearing about the playoffs rather than partaking! On the flipside, ARBL is a middling team that has beaten up the HAVE NOT'S and struggled against the HAVE'S. Although, it is hard to improve on 128 points with no points from a TE that has typically been scoring in the high teens. ARBL is a team that is nearing the HAVE'S category, but is lacking a big win against some top competition.

Ankle Holster (2-4) v Massive TD's (3-3)
If you read the prediction post then you know that I must have rented the wrong movie. See I thought this matchup was going to be the third movie in the trilogy where the "good" guy always wins. However, this must have been the second part - which, if you know anything about movie - the "bad" guy always wins. There is no better storyline that wiener wielding hero scoring the all-time fantasy league low. One player reached double digits - which sounds really bad; however, the optimal lineup would feature a tight end in the flex and would only grant Ankle Holster 2.9 more points - still easily the worst score all-time. Massive TD's should be thanking their lucky stars, they didn't exactly have a great week themselves - but you can only beat the team you face! Nobody is complaining when you get an easy sectional draw for football and nobody is complaining when you beat a team that scored the all-time low - take the win and move on!
Result: Massive TD's wins
Prediction: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!
It should also be mentioned that this week our Mystery Guest predicted the belt winner correctly - which ties that prediction at one. Well done FSSV, the first two-time holder of the belt!
Season: 28-14
Mystery Guest: 23-19
Bless
