Week 2 Everyone tweaks their Hamstring!

Congrats to this weeks winners!  Only two remain undefeated. Can they hold out through week three? Almost every team in the league has suffered at least a minor injury, while PutOut2Pasture blows up again. With 170% as many points scored as Yago’s Team Totality they look to be the team to beat.

Featured games

Rushing to get this out before 9 so sadly only one featured game this week.

Commissioner Gordon vs. Carol’s Cool Team

Monday Night Miracle! Going into Sunday night this match looked all but sealed up until Carol’s Cool Team struck tragedy. Greg Zuerlein injured his groin and took a big fat goose egg for the team. Along with Keelan Cole making a Odell Beckham like catch for 21 points set up an unlikely Bears defense vs Jordan Howard with 5 to spare on Monday night. Lead by Khalil Mack the Bears Defense hammeredRussell Wilson taking the lead and holding it for three quarters until finally Howard put enough yards on the ground to put Carol in the lead. All but over the Commissioner Gordon’s were about to pack it up and headed to the locker room, when it happened. Interception! He runs it down field. Only one man to beat. A juke! and he takes it to the house!!! The Bears lead the Gordons to their first win of the season. An undeserved win but one they will happily take.

Injuries

No season long injuries this week, but there are more than everyone fair share of banged up Running backs. Joe Mixon will be out for a few weeks with a minor surgery and many more RBs will  be questionable going into week 3. Make sure to get your waiver requests in.

Power Rankings

POWER RANKINGS ARE HERE!!!

I missed getting the stats for week one so there are no graphs for this week. Chris is obviously on top with his absurd points scored but FantasyPros.com only has him ranked with the 6th best roster rest of season. Expect the Rankings to shake up greatly with only 2 weeks of data in the books.

Featured Games

Carol’s Cool Team vs Mo’s Men Minus James

This was the match to watch this week. Carol’s Cool Team started out with a huge lead on Saturday. That night the chiefs looked like they were back to their early season form. “Krispy” Kareem Hunt threw both the chiefs and Cool Team on his back. Rushing for 155 yards, a rushing touchdown, catching 7 of 9 targets for 51 yards, and another touchdown through the air. Carol’s Cool Team had some under performers that night but Kareem made up the difference and they looked poised for a win. Sunday morning things started slow for Mo’s Men Minus James. Johnathan Stewart looked like he took the week of after rushing for a measly 3.6 points compared to his 28 points last week. All of Mo’s Men’s Receivers decided not to show up either. All three combined for under 7 points. The mid day games started and Carol’s Cool Team was the favorite. Mo’s Men weren’t giving up though. Team owner Morgan Bledsoe personally sat down with the remaining players and gave an inspiring speech.

“We may be the under dogs but we have the heart. We have come a long way this season and have missed playoffs by 1 spot too many times to let this pass us by. This is our year! Our time to shine!”

Mo’s Men heard their owners cries and as the Seahawks Rams game started there was electricity in the air. Todd Gurley showed why he is the #1 Fantasy Running back this year. Rushing 21 times he crushed the Seahawks for 152 yards and not one, not two, but three touchdowns on the ground before adding 3 catches for another 28 yards and a 4th touchdown through the air. 42 points later Gurley turned it over to the Rams Defense. In a direct fight against Carol’s Cool Team’s QB Russel Wilson the Rams stepped up play after play. Sack after sack Wilson was brought down behind the line as the Rams ran away with the game 42-7. The comeback was started but Carol’s Cool Team still held the lead heading into Monday night. The first quarter started out shaky with neither Sanu or Devonta Freeman making any ground. The second quarter was a different story though. With Falcons RB Tevin Coleman out from a concussion Freeman was the teams main work horse constantly ripping off big runs against a porous Buccaneers defense. Both the leading rusher and receiver Freeman carried the baton to the finish line and clenched the win for Mo’s Men Minus James.

Hondo’s Gridiron vs Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion

A more somber battle took place on the other side of the bracket. Starting out as a great match up Hondo’s Gridiron and Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion had a back and forth battle. Minnesota DST coming out hot and Baltimore showing up late to answer back. Marvin Jones over taking T.Y. Hilton only for Tyreek Hill to come back over top. It looked like it was going to be a close one until the house of cards came tumbling down for the Gridiron greats. It started with WR Marquis Lee Injuring his ankle early in the day, #1 Fantasy WR Antonio Brown hurting his Calf in the mid day games, and RB Rex Burkhead spraining his knee in the night time game. With 3 injured players what looked like a great match came to a sad end. The Gridiron did their best but without their full man power they couldn’t hope to match Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion’s powerful performance. The Lesion once again rolled lead by their Saints RBs. After the third injury of the day team owner Max Brown gave these words in a text to the league commissioner.

“Not the way I wanted to win but Ill take it, Might have to redistribute that injury award.”

Max was right about that. Losing players during the season is one thing, but losing 3 in the playoffs is a devastating way to end a season. For that Hondo’s Gridiron gets an honorable mention in the most injured team category.

Championship Preview

Here is the low down on this years Championship matchup. Each contender is just one win away away from the crown.

Mo’s Men Minus James vs Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion

The Championship Match

This matchup looks like it will shape up to be a close one. While Mo’s Men Minus James is the predicted underdog their players matchups look good once again. Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion has some good matchups also but they also have some tough ones. It looks like they have already benched Marquise Goodwin who is facing down a stout Jacksonville defense. This game is going to come down once again to if the Saints score on the ground or through the air and if RB Tevin Coleman comes back from his concussion or not.

Fantasy Pros.com has Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion predicted to win over all. Here is the predicted breakdown at each position.

Positional Winners

QB: Mos Men Minus James

WR1: Mo’s Men Minus James

WR2: Mo’s Men Minus James

WR3: Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion

RB1: Mo’s Men Minus James

RB2: Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion

Flex: Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion

Week 14 and the regular season is over!

Congrats to this weeks winners!  This season was a close one and people were shuffling for position all the way to the end. Id like to welcome to the playoffs Carol’s Cool Team, Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion, Hondo’s Gridiron, and Mo’s Men Minus James. These four teams will face off in a single elimination combat to claim their throne as league champion and gain the honor of housing the  Battle Royale league trophy until the next champion is crowned.

Featured Games

There were some good matches this week, Carol took another loss, Kim had the biggest blowout, and Morgan secured the last playoff spot. Instead of going further into them though Im gonna be doing a closer look into the playoff teams and a recap of the regular season.

Playoff Preview

Here is the low down on this years playoff contenders. Each one of them is just two victories away from the crown.

Match 1

Normally Carol’s team would look like a sure thing, but with the injury to Carson Wentz the TE matchup here looks a lot closer than it normally would be. If Falcons RB TevinColeman doesn’t come back from concussion this week then I think it will be a lot closer than Yahoo thinks.

Carol’s Cool Team

The writing was on the wall early with this one. Claiming the the number 1 seed early in the season, Carol’s Cool Team started off hot with Krispy Kareem single handedly crushing each of her early opponents. While Kareem and the Chiefs have cooled off lately Carol’s team certainly has not. Not only has her team dodged any big injuries this season but her QB Russell Wilson is ending the season lights out as he has for the past two years. Carol’s weakest player is still the 24th ranked WR and her team is a true juggernaut and the favorite to win the championship.

Mo’s Men Minus James

On the other side of our first matchup is the 4th seed Mo’s Men Minus James. They have had a very up and down path to get here. Lead by the current #1 running back Todd Gurley, they started off with 2 wins before falling back down to a .500 team all the way until week 9 when they went 6-1 to finish the season and jump into the last playoff spot. While Mo’s Men minus James has the 4th least points for this season they shouldn’t be underestimated. They have made some solid moves this season and their points for sells their current team short. They may be the underdog in this matchup but many of their players have a great match up going into week 15.

Match 2

This one is gonna come down to two main games. Depending on if the Saints and Patriots score through the air or punch it in will really swing this matchup. If Antonio Brown has a big game then we might be seeing  a 3rd and 4th seed upset.

Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion

Go Saints RBs! Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion may be named after their receivers but don’t be fooled, this #2 seed has gotten to where they are at on the back of two players. Both Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamera are top 6 RBs and should put fear into any team facing them. The second most active team in the league, Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion only has one player in their starting line up that also started in week 1. They made a risky move trading off their star QB Aaron Rodgers for a hopeful RB but boy did it pay off. Not only was Rodgers injured the very next game but Kamera has payed dividends. Their bold moves and determination has gotten them this far and they are hopeful that Kamera and Gronk will return this week so they can get things back on track.

Hondo’s Gridiron

On the heels of Carol’s Cool team all season Hondo’s Gridiron has been slipping for the past few weeks and is locked in as the 3rd seed for the playoffs. Hondo’s team is the third team to pass the 1400 points for mark. Their down spiral started with Zeke’s suspension leaving them down one of their star players. To fill that gap they traded away Carson Wentz for Alfred Morris who has done well but isn’t the week winning force that Zeke had been. Lead by the #1 WR Antonio Brown and touchdown magnet Jimmy Graham Hondo’s Gridion hopes to make it to week 16 where they will reunite with Zeke and ascend back to the team they once were.

Season Overview

This year has been a great one and looks to have an exciting finish. Not many people started inactive players and the league was more active than it has been in the past few years. Plenty of trades went through and although there were tons of big injuries the standings were crazy close. (Only two wins separate the bottom half of the league)

2017 Honorary Awards

Best Trade

This one is a close one. There were 7 different trades this season but two of them take the cake with a clear winner and loser.

Runner up: Mo’s Men Minus James

Mo’s Men Minus James takes second place for their trade of Alshon Jeffery and Ty Montgomery for Martavis Bryant and Todd Gurley. Although Bryant has been a non factor all year Gurley has gone on to be the seasons #1 RB. Combine that with the fact that Montgomery was injured the very next week and it seems that Mo’s Men must have some ESP avoiding a bullet that could near have ended their season.

Winner: Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion

Another Bullet was dodged with this one. At one point in the season Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion found them self with 3 of the top 4 QB in the league. Looking to sell off some of their depth they went with the risky move of selling yearly super star Aaron Rodgers and putting their faith in Texans rookie Deshaun Watson. It only took a minute of shopping Rodgers around until Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion found a buyer. Cory’s Saved By Lev’Bells drooled at the chance to get their hands on a reliable QB and the trade of Aaron Rodgers and Austin Seferian Jenkins for Alvin Kamera and DeVante Parker was born. Even though Watson went on to get injured anyways Rodgers was the first QB to go down. In the very next game Rodgers suffered a broken collar bone while Kamera continued to average 14.7 points per game for the next 8 games. If you pinpoint where Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion season took off this is it.

Toughest Schedule

Fantasy Football is already pretty random but one thing you cant control is who you play each week. The number of times you score the second most points only to face the top scorer can sometimes be heartbreaking. Here is a shout out to those who had to suffer through a storm of points that their opponents rained on them.

Honorable Mention: Sam Da Man

With a schedule maybe even tougher than the winner of this category Sam Da Man faced the toughest start to the season of any team. It wasn’t until week 6 that they faced a sub 100 point opponent. If it weren’t for the winner of this category putting up so many points for Sam Da Man would have taken it.

Runner up: Meg’s Cooper Troopers

Technically the most points against this year Meg’s Cooper Troopers had 237 more points scored against them than Mo’s Men Minus James had scored against them. That comes out to 17 more points a game the same as facing an extra QB every week. Meg’s Cooper troopers had to withstand bad beat after bad beat and this was the most evident in week two when they put up 133.78 points only to still lose to Cory’s Saved by Lev Bells who happened to have their best week of the year and stole the win by dropping 143.84 points.

Winner: Girls Rule

While not technically the most points against Girls rule wins this award by consistently playing top ranking teams each week. Meg’s Cooper Troopers may have had more points against, but they had most of their points against in just a hand full of weeks. Girls Rule only had one week with a sub 80 point opponent and over 1/2 of their weeks were against teams that put up over 100! They ended the season with the 4th most points for and yet instead of making the playoffs they have finished dead last due to just dumb luck.

Most Injured

Yet another factor out of our control. Injuries are never fun in real life or fantasy. Everybody just wants to see their guys on the field. When it does happen though it can spell disaster. This year was historically bad for top picks getting injured but in the end only one person can get this award. Here are the most banged up teams of 2017.

Runner up: Cory’s Saved by Lev Bells

A real close second and clocking in with the most injuries this year is Cory’s Saved By Lev Bells. Losing the #1 pick over all during the very first week of the season set the tone for what would be their season. Time after time they traded to fix the holes previous injuries had torn, but their new recruit would go out and get injured also. The Packers really did a number on the Saved by Lev Bells by having both RB Ty Montgomery and QB Aaron Rodgers not only getting injured the week after they were aquired, but Aaron Jones the Back up RB was also injured in a future week. Even though they didn’t make the playoffs their regular season was topped off by their most recent addition Carson Wentz heading to the IR to join the others.

David Johnson R1, Aaron Rodgers R3, Crabtree R5 (couple of weeks), Ty Montgomery R5, Davante Parker R6, Andrew Luck R8, Adrian Peterson R9, Charles Clay Undrafted, Aaron jones Undrafted, Carson Wentz Undrafted

Winner: Sam Da Man

Not quite the same number of injuries but it is truly astounding to have 5 of your top 6 picks get injured. Sam Da Man started the season with a minor injury to Odell Beckham Jr. He quickly returned only to lose Sam another week when he reinjured himself and had to be put on IR by the Giants. Over the next couple of weeks Sam Da Man’s players were getting blown up by defenders Davante Adams took a hit so hard that I could not believe he could walk let alone play football again. Near the mid season swing it looked like Sam Da Man may have found a shining light in his dull team. Rookie RB Dalvin Cook looked electric until week 5 when he tore his ACL and joined Beckham on the IR. Even going into the end of the season Sam Da Man couldn’t dodge some bad luck. Not technically an injury but two of his players were traded in the real NFL suffering not only a second bye week but having to learn an entirely new playbook and get worked back into a new system. Although banged up Sam Da Man did a great job patching up their sunken ship. Adding players like Robbie Anderson lead their team on a winning streak that had them in playoff contention all the way into week 13. Their season ended similar to Cory’s Saved by Lev Bells with one final injury to RB Tevin Coleman reminding them of what they had been through.

Odell Beckham Jr. R1, Jay Ajayi R2, Dalvin Cook R3, Davante Adams R4 (one week), Kelvin Benhamin R6, Cameron Meredith R12, Tevin Coleman Undrafted

Week 13 is wrapped up!

Congrats to this weeks winners! The third playoff spot is locked up with TY-Hill-Sachs Lesion putting up a huge week over Hondo’s Gridiron. Bledsodian and Sam Da Man fall out of the playoff race and Mo’s Men Minus James leads Cory’s Saved By Lev’ Bells by 1 game going into the last week of the regular season.

Featured games

There were some big games this week but since were so close to the end of the season Ill be focusing on the ones that are shaping up the playoff race.

Cory’s Saved By Le’v Bells Vs. Bledsodian

Oh hot dang! What a buzzer beater. Starting off Thursday the formerly Cory’s Olsen Twins got off to a horrible start with Vernon Davis putting up a measly 1.5 points. The only saving grace for them was that their opponent ONCE AGAIN! started not one but TWO players who were out for the week. The games started Sunday morning and it seemed that Bledsodian was showing off with one hand behind their back. Their 8 remaining players each went off. Multiple players put up 20 points with only one poor performance from their star WR Julio Jones putting up only 2.4 points.  On the other side of the field Cory’s Olsen Twins  were carried as usual by Greg “Legatron” Zuerlein putting up his usual 17 points, but the rest of their team struggled to keep up each having mediocre performances. After the Eagles finished middle of the road on Sunday night it looked like Bledsodian was going to knock Cory’s Olsen Twins out of play off contention. Down 23 points Le’veon Bell started off slow on Monday night. That is until he caught a screen pass from Big Ben and took it 35 yards to the house. That play started a fire in Bell and he continued to chunk yards every play. Pass after pass he slowly closed the gap on Bledsodian until with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter both the Olsen Twins and Bledsodian were tied 102.72 vs 102.72. The Steelers came to 3rd down and long on their final drive of the game where the completed one last pass to Bell to push Cory’s Olsen Twins over the top and keep them in the playoff push.

Mo’s Men Minus James Vs. Sam Da Man

Not as exciting of a match up but with just as much playoff effects. Finding them self once again in a must in match up Sam Da Man wasn’t feeling too hot after Kirk Cousins got shut down by the usually soft Dallas defense. Sunday didn’t start off looking good either. Sam Da man’s team looked like it had just run out of Juice. Besides Robbie Anderson put up his usual 10 points, it was poor performance after poor performance. Mo’s Men had the Rams dominate the Cardinals and lead their team with a 21 point performance dwarfing Sam’s 3 points from the Steelers. Kenny stills had a huge 99 yard game with a TD that smothered Paul Richardson, and Evan Engram crushed it with 15 points over Kyle Rudolph. With this 114-75 win Mo’s Men Minus James stops Sam Da Man’s Playoff run and positions them self in a Win and In scenario going into a tough final match up against TY-Hill-Sachs Lesion.

Crazy stat that I had seen while looking at this match up. Although Mo’s Men Minus James is currently ranked in 4th place they would be 2-9 if they played the same schedule as Sam Da Man and if Sam Da Man had played Mo’s schedule they would have been 7-4.

Power Rankings

The reason you are all here. Week 13 power rankings are here!

Sam Da Man moves back into 10th place, A tie for second, and for 6th. Power rankings are pretty meaningless now with the actual season coming so close to a close. So instead of talking about them I’m gonna continue talking about what is at stake for next week.

Up at the top Carol’s Cool team has looked immortal all season but is now within striking distance that Ty-Hill-Sachs Lesion could snipe first place with a big week and a loss by Carol’s Cool team.

In the race for the last playoff spot Mo’s Men Minus James has a win and in situation with Cory’s Saved By Le’v Bells are capable of stealing it with a win and a Mo’s Men loss.

In the middle of the pack it is anyones game with many people not only tied in wins but also close in points.

Down at the bottom of the league Girl’s Rule has had the unfortunate fate of having the 4th most points in the league while getting beat by top scoring team after top scoring team. Only one game behind Megan’s Cooper Troopers a win for them and a loss for the Troopers could thrust Megan into last place for the regular season.

Best of luck this week to everyone. This last regular season week is a big one for many people. For those who are pretty settled in the rankings look forward to the next couple weeks because after the regular season comes the playoffs and the consolation bracket.
