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.

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.
