It seems that we have made it.... well, some of us. No, this isn't like years ago when some of us would switch schools and get kicked out of the league. No, I am not talking about the time when one of us ended up in jail and they literally didn't make it to the end of the season - to be fair they did miss the draft party as well. I am talking about making it to the playoffs... Yes, some of us made it and some of us did not. Some of us scored a lot of points and some of us did not. Some of us had injury issues and some of us did not - well, pretty much everyone was dealing injury issues. Let's get the first issue out of the way - THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW CHAMPION!! Dixie Normous did not make the playoffs, but on his way out he also brought down the 2nd highest scoring squad by beating them in the this week and eliminating them from the playoffs. If there was one way for the 2-time defending champ to go out in flames.... this was it.
2nd Order of Business: Season Awards....
MVP: Davante Adams, Solo Driving Asians
Adams single-handedly not only kept SDA in the playoff hunt, but also carried the hottest team into the playoffs and now is looking to take this fingerblastin' oriental to the top! Adams finished 10th in total points, despite missing 2 and 3/4s a game with an injury. A top dawg in the wide receiver department and a top dawg in fantasy in general.
Top QB: Patrick Mahomes, Asymmetric TDs
This was a close race, and there were plenty of suitors that could have taken the crown. However, Mahomes is still the top scoring QB and still has a higher average per week than the likes of Murray and Allen. It is going to be fun watching these three compete with the old guard for this award in the seasons to come.
Top RB: Dalvin Cook, iTouchdown There
Cook is not the number one scoring RB - but he is the best on a per week average. Cook missed a game is still only 5 points away from the being the top scoring running back in general. Cook's production is unmatched and he had a two-week stretch where he almost scored 90 points (87.8 points) - a feat that nobody else can say.
Top WR: Tyreek Hill, 3rd and 41
Yes, I know Adams won the MVP - how is he not Top WR? Sharing is caring and Hill just happen to be a player who scored 57.9 points in one week. Yes, Hill was far more up and down than some players - but Hill still was the top scoring wideout and still had that amazing performance in week 12.
Top TE: Travis Kelce, 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp
This award is pretty going to be Kelce's award for the next 4-5 years. Kelce is essentially a wide receiver in an ogre's body. The things that he able to do is just not fair - I will have Travis Kelce on my fantasy team next, that is a promise.
Top DEF: Effffffffffffff this award
Top K: Younghoe Koo, Penis Fly Trap
The only reason why I am actually giving this sh*tty award out is that way I have an excuse to type Young Hoe in the blog.
Best Team to not make the Playoffs: 3rd and 41
As if this was a question. This is the 2nd highest scoring team in the league, and no - they didn't not just have a bunch of points scored on them. They finished right in the middle of the pack for points against. However, they are a team that score points - and score them in bunches. This would have been a team that could have beaten anybody in the playoffs and instead they will be watching from the couch (like all fantasy owners do anyways).
Best Trade: Dalvin Cook for DeAndre Hopkins
On paper, this is a fairly equal trade and it is all dependent on preference and how your team is structured. It just happened to be that once the trade was finalized - ARBL lost 5 straight weeks and had one of the hardest stretches of matchups. I don't want to say it was the trade that brought the bad juju, buuttttttttt.....
Diamond in the Draft: Justin Jefferson, 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp, 118th overall
Jefferson has had one of the best rookie wideout seasons of all-time, don't believe me? Jefferson has over 1,000 receiving yards (already) - only 23 others before this season accomplished that feat. Of those 23, 8 of them were able to score 10+ touchdowns - something that Jefferson is on his way to doing. That is some pretty elite company for a player that was drafted 118th overall in fantasy football.
Waiver Wire Pickup: James Robinson, 3rd and 41
The ironic part about this award - it could easily go to Justin Jefferson, who was dropped and then picked up by Dixie Normous. However, in a 14 team league and not as many running backs to go around James Robinson was a savior to 3rd and 41. Robinson went undrafted, was picked up off of waivers, and then proceeded to finish top 5 in RB scoring - we are all kicking ourselves for this one!
Now, let's get to the results....
Matchup of the Week
Penis Fly Trap v 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp
This matchup was a key to how the seedings would play-out. One team earned the 2nd seed and the other team is barely in the playoffs - if Dobbins doesn't record a touchdown, things would be even more jumbled!
Result: 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp wins
Prediction: Penis Fly Trap wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp wins.... RIGHT!!
Remember the Redskins v Bluffton Backup Backups
This matchup had no real implications on the playoffs - just pretty much whether RtR would finish with the top seed or not. With this victory - they have locked up the top spot!
Result: Remember the Redskins win
Prediction: Remember the Redskins win... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Remember the Redskins win... RIGHT!!
Solo Driving Asians v Asymmetric TDs
SDA is officially the hottest team on the block. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, wants to face SDA next week in the playoffs!
Result: Solo Driving Asians win
Prediction: Asymmetric TDs wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Asymmetric TD wins... WRONG!!
Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams v Ankle Holster
ARBL may not have made the playoffs - but with this victory they seal the victory of a side bet and knock Ankle Holster out of the playoffs as well.
Result: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams wins
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams wins... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!
The J-Bones v PEN15 Wrinkle
The J-Bones are another team that find themselves in heating up territory. Just remember....
Result: The J-Bones win
Prediction: The J-Bones win... RIGHT!!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones win... RIGHT!!
Dixie Normous v 3rd and 41
This victory by Dixie Normous is the 2-time champion giving two big middle fingers to 3rd and 41 and bringing the 2nd highest scoring team down with him.
Result: Dixie Normous wins
Prediction: 3rd and 41 wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: 3rd and 41 wins... WRONG!!
iTouchdown There v Hernandez Hit Men
Both of these teams make the playoffs - but this was a far underwhelming matchup from two teams that have high hopes next week.
Result: iTouchdown There wins
Prediction: iTouchdown There wins... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: iTouchdown There wins... RIGHT!!
Season: 46-45, 1 BP
Mystery Guest: 47-44, 1 BP
