Awards
MVP: Travis Kelce, TE: Hoosier Daddy
If you don't know yet, Travis Kelce is far and away the top TE this season in fantasy football. In fact, he would have finished scoring 257 points, which would have made him the 5th wide receiver overall. This not what made him stand apart though, it was his PAR (Points Above Replacement). He averaged 19.8 points... the 2nd TE averaged 13.2 points. Kelce outscored the 2nd TE by 100 points over the course of the season.... WTF?!?!?!? There has never been a more dominate season by a player in respective to their own position.
Steal of the Draft: Justin Fields, QB: Ayahuasca Dreamer
This has been a tough year for this award. Here is the dilemma Fields was drafted at the end of the 11th round... 154th overall. He finished the season as a top 5 QB. Seems simple enough, right? Well, Fields also was dropped by Ayahuasca Dreamer, picked up by Hoosier Daddy, then dropped by Hoosier Daddy, then finally picked up and found a home with ETN. So does he really count as the STD if he was dropped that many times? My argument: If I told you that with the 154th overall pick, you would be able to find a top PRK player (not Kicker or Defense) - you call me a liar.
Waiver Wire Pick-Up: Christian Watson, WR: OBJs in the Stands
Since OBJ picked up Watson, he averaged 23.8 points in the 4 games he played. You tell me who couldn't use that kind of production? Not to mention, Watson never scored less than 20 points each week. He has become the number one target in Green Bay and I don't care what you say about Rodgers - he can still supply plenty of targets to his new favorite receiver.
Trade of the Year: Josh Jacobs, RB for Deandre Hopkins, WR: The Cochness Monsters/Gruden's Email
Obviously, if you are one of the 5 people who actually read this blog - then you know that Josh Jacobs has been going absolutely nuts at the end of the year. Jacobs has finished the season as the number 1 RB and averaged more than 20 points a week. On the flip side, Hopkins has had a good season (when he returned from his suspension). Hopkins finished the season....
Team to Beat: Hoosier Daddy
Let's be honest, this is Hoosier Daddy's year. They have the top QB, two top 10 RB's, a top 10 WR, the top TE, - that one helluva lineup. It going to take a terrible combination of a bad week for Hoosier and good week for their opponent.... even then - it might not be enough. They finished the season with 4 belt-wins and a 3-peat belt run. Will anybody be able to knock them off the path to the 'ship???

Matchup of the Week
Hoosier Daddy****(10-4) v OBJs in the Stands** (6-8)
This win solidified what has been a tremendous year for Hoosier Daddy. They win the regular season (getting their money back) and setting them up for a run in the playoffs. They will be looking to ride the coattails of their Fantasy MVP Travis Kelce and number 1 ranked QB J. Hurts. On top of that, this also knocked OBJs out of the running and cleared the way for a few teams to sneak in the playoffs. Unfortunately, this is the end for OBJ - who actually had a solid season, two belt wins is nothing to shake your head at. However, they just couldn't put it together in the end and, C'YA B*TCH!!
Prediction: Hoosier Daddy... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Hoosier Daddy... RIGHT!!
The Cochness Monsters (7-7) v PEN15 Wrinkle (5-9)
Remember when I said that the win in the MotW knocked out OBJs and cleared the way for a couple other teams.... hello Cochness. They sneak in the playoffs and find themselves even in the 7th seed - avoiding Hoosier Daddy... which is extremely important. No team should be overlooked, especially TCM - who have the number 2 and number 3 running backs... officially making them the deadliest tandem in the league. On the flip side, PEN15 had a chance to get back The Cochs... but instead they started multiple players on their byes. Not a good look, shame shame shame!!
Prediction: The Cochness Monsters... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: The Cochenss Monsters... RIGHT!!
Side Set TDs (9-5) v Ayahuasca Dreamer (7-7)
You want to know who else needed to win this week? Ayahuasca Dreamer. This lost knocked them out of the playoffs and they finish as the 10th seed.... all because of points scored. Sooooooo thank-you Titties - although I am always in the mood to thank titties..... let's be fair, who doesn't love a good set of titties?!? Side Set moves into the playoffs and they will be Not Big Red; this is set-up to be one of the closest matchups for round 1!!!
Prediction: Side Set TDs... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Side Set TDs... RIGHT!!
Watson's Happy Ending** (9-5) v The J-Bones* (8-6)
This matchup worked out exactly as it needed to for The J-Bones. They won the belt and they secured the 2nd seed in the playoffs. This is important because it puts them far away from Hoosier Daddy - the team to beat in the playoffs. They have the number 1 running back and the number 5 running back... the only question: Is Trevor Lawrence going to be enough to replace Kyler Murray? On the flip side, Happy Ending finishes at 9-5 and finds themselves competing in the playoffs. They also drop down to the 3 seed - which is just as good as being a 2 seed since it also puts them on the other side of the bracket from Hoosier Daddy!
Prediction: The J-Bones... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones... RIGHT!!
Bluffton Backup Backups (7-7) v Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams (7-7)
This matchup was a big one, especially for ARBL! They get a needed win and the right teams lost as they snuck into the playoffs as the 8th seed. The interesting part? They face Hoosier Daddy; these teams made a huge trade mid-season and now they face each other in the playoffs.... let's see who played the long game! BBB.... it has been a good season - one full of laughter and excitement - but alas.... your sh*tty team did not make the playoffs. Honestly, it would have been funny if they did and then somehow just kept beating teams..... reminiscent of The Cooler.
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams... RIGHT!!
Ankle Holster (4-10) v ETN out your Grandma** (7-7)
Not going to lie - this one probably hurts the most. ETN was a top team and was primed to make the playoffs, instead they finish the season 1-4 and get knocked out. Think about it like this... in week 11 when I started the playoff predictions - they were 95% chance to make the playoffs, 95%!!!! Yet, somehow they managed to sh*t the bed and then sleep in it... y'all are bunch of Poop Sleepers! Ankle Holster managed to get a win, even when they were already out of the running. The respect for the game is admirable and we all (TCM and ARBL) thank-you for your service!
Prediction: Ankle Holster... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster... RIGHT!!
Not Big Red** (7-7) v Gruden Email Editor* (7-7)
Welcome to playoffs... to the both of you! Check this out though, NBR actually leap-frogged Gruden based on points scored. They finished the season roughly 33 points ahead of Gruden and beat Gruden this week by 37 points. Was it all just a sneaky play by Gruden? By getting leap-frogged it moves NBR in the same side as Hoosier Daddy and Gruden drops to the lower side of the bracket... big brain play??
Prediction: Gruden Email Editor... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Not Big Red.... RIGHT!!
Season: 56-42
Mystery Guest: 45-53
It was respectable.... but I see that you will supplying my drink of choice!!
