One week down... two more to go... and the race gets tighter. Let's jump straight into it and break down the race and who is looking to get in and who is looking to go home early....
IN - Njigbas in Paris, East West TD's, Time for Love
Should be in - Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas, PEN15 Wrinkle, Ertz when Eifert
In the race - The J-Bones, I Miss TB12, Handy Rudgins, I Hate Chad G, Insert Team Name Here
Probably Out - Ankle Holster, Hoosier Daddy
OUT - Gluten Douches.... but they won the belt this week!!
We will be focusing on the middle of the pack in next week's predictions, with 2 weeks to go - the picture is becoming more clear. However, it is ironic that as soon as the Gluten Douches were eliminated from playoff contention - they have their best week. It is, what it is.
Matchup of the Week
Time for Love (8-4) v PEN15 Wrinkle (7-5)
Could there have been a better MotW? I think not. Let's break it down how it all happened...
PEN15 jumps out to a large lead after the Thanksgiving games... the big dogs (Dak and Lamb) did their part as well as Montgomery and LaPorta.
Slowly, but surely, Time for Love builds a comeback. Until it looks like it was too large of a deficit.
Love Time is down nearly 60 points going into the Bills/Eagles game. Fear not, Josh Allen and Gabe Davis are here.
But wait, the game is over - Love Time is still losing... never fear Jake Elliott is here. Dude is absolute stud. Elliott makes a 60 yarder in the rainy weather and pushes the game to over time.
Josh Allen and Gabe Davis win the coin flip and the rest is history... minus the part where the Bills lost the game... but who cares about that? They did their job for fantasy!
Prediction: Time for Love... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: PEN15 Wrinkle... WRONG!!
Gluten Douches* (3-9) v I Miss Tom Brady (6-6)
Is anybody really surprised by this? Not this guy. Kyren Williams was a stud before getting injured and he is still a stud after being injured. Atlanta looks competent when they actually use their best player on their roster. On the flip side, I Miss TB12 had a good week... but this loss is devastating to their race to the playoffs. This was a win that was probably counted on, now they are going to have to find a win (maybe two) in the last two weeks.
Prediction: Gluten Douches... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: I Miss Tom Brady... WRONG!!
Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams (7-5) v Hoosier Daddy (4-8)
So there is this guy who is really good at football and an absolute stud at fantasy football. His name is Jalen Hurts. It does help when you are throwing the ball to one of the best receiving duos in the NFL and you know he is going to have designed runs. Hurts had 2 rushing touchdowns and 65 rushing yards - that line alone would have put him as the 12th best RB - then you throw in his QB stats. Plus, JT had a good game and is looking stronger each week. The Indianapolis offensive line is starting to enforce their will and nobody trusts Minshew to throw the ball. ARBL is looking like a team destine to make a run in the playoffs. On the flip side, Hoosier Daddy is a long way from last season. This is unfamiliar ground for them, they are not out of it completely - but things are looking grim.
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams... RIGHT!!
The J-Bones (6-6) v East West TD's (8-4)
There are times in a fantasy football matchup when it only takes one or two guys and you are going to win. Christian McCaffrey is that guy. There is just nothing more to say about it - he is THAT GUY. On the flip side, The J-Bones are team stuck in the middle. They trade for a guy like Justin Herbert - someone who should be really good... yet, nothing seems to be going right. The J-Bones are going to need to win in the next two weeks, and next week's matchup doesn't look too appealing (PEN15 Wrinkle).
Prediction: The J-Bones... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones... WRONG!!
Handy Rudgins (5-7) v Insert Team Name Here (5-7)
This was a big matchup for both teams to stay in the hunt.... definitely not the week you want two positions to score negative points. To think that Insert Team Name had three players score more than 20 points individually and they still only managed to score 96 points - no bueno. On the flip side, Handy escapes with a win - but they are going to have to figure out their QB situation. Is Purdy going to be the guy to fill-in for Burrow or will Howell be the guy? Only time will tell.
Prediction: Handy Rudgins... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Insert Team Name Here.... WRONG!!
I Hate Chad G (5-7) v Ertz when Eifert (7-5)
Defense wins championships, plain and simple. Let's take this matchup for example....
Eagles Defense: -2 points
Miami Defense: 23 points
If these numbers were their averages, I Hate Chad G wins this matchup. If these numbers were their projections, I Hate Chad G wins this matchup. However, that is why you play the game! They weren't and Ertz when Eifert wins the matchup.
Prediction: I Hate Chad G... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Ertz when Eifert... RIGHT!!
Njigbas in Paris (9-3) v Ankle Holster (4-8)
NJIGBA. A. DOUBT.
