I went back to my last blog post to see how my predictions worked
out, and I noticed just how many mistakes I made – both grammatically and
fantasy wise. I won’t correct my grammar
errors on here, but I will acknowledge any fantasy prediction mistakes I
had. Here we go in the order that I made
guesses last week. Before I get to that,
I will say that it appears my bye week advantages will win each game, so I did
do something right. Anyway, moving on.
Rob and me – I wasn’t
sure if I had the big advantage over Rob (I didn’t) but my team came to play.
It’s highly unlikely he makes a comeback tonight, but I suppose it could
happen.
Matt and Geoff –
I was wrong thinking that Matt would be in last no matter what. It was definitely the battle for last
place. Geoff won, and should jump from
11th overall to 8th overall. Very nice jump for him. Anyway, Geoff overcame Tate being on bye and
Bernard on injury. Geoff scares me – I think
he is getting hot and has a real shot at the playoffs.
Konner and Trevor
– Rough week for Konner in fantasy football, not in high school football. Trevor got the win and now has the inside
track to the 5th seed.
Ren and Jordan –
I might have been a little wrong about blowout, and I was also wrong about
Demaryius Thomas and my paid vacation comment.
I thought it was so creative, and I wanted to use it. I was also wrong about Peyton going bonkers,
though he still played well. As long as
Fleener doesn’t go bonkers, Ren will win.
Brady and Tyler –
I had the right call on bye week advantage, wrong call on who was going to win. Everyone lost that Brady needed to lose, but
he couldn’t get the win. Some of that is
Rivers getting -2 points, and some is on starting the wrong guys. Looking at his
team though, I can’t say I fault him for his roster choices.
Kyle and Chad – Kyle’s
depth really hurt him this week. Not
sure what else to say about it. He
should bounce back next week and have a better point total. For Chad it will be interesting to see how
Sanu plays with Green back, but so far, so good.
Magic Numbers –
So after this week, if everything holds like I think it will, here are some
magic number updates. Chad’s magic
number for the division championship is now 2.
So it would be super nice if I won and he lost next week. Chad has a good shot at winning, and I think
I lose to Konner, so that number should stay the same for another week. Rob and Matt each lost, and Ren won, so they
can no longer win the division. Trevor’s
number is 2 because Ren won as well.
Tyler won this week, and now has the division lead by one
game. It’s still really close, but Kyle’s
magic number should be 3, but I’m not 100% if the head to head matchup changes
anything. I think it only speeds up Kyle’s
ability to come back or to be eliminated from winning the division. Jordan and Konner have a magic number of
4. Not that Konner, Tyler and Jordan can
all win out, but if they could, Tyler wouldn’t clinch until the last week. Considering it’s all division games starting
in week 11, a lot of things can change, and can change quickly.
Wild Card – Chad
has the 4th seed, and leads Trevor by 1 game, who has the 5th
seed, and then 6th seed is still crammed. Jordan currently leads the 6 seed and is
currently 4-5. He is beating Konner on
points. Kyle, Rob and Geoff are 1 game
behind, and Brady and Matt are 2 games behind the 6 seed. I think everyone can mathematically still get
the 4 seed, but I haven’t looked into head to head schedules enough to say how
likely that is.
Bye Week Advantages:
Week 10 – I will try and be quicker here than last week. I will name the
person who I think has the advantage from bye weeks, and I will note if I think
the other person still has the game advantage.
Skyler & Konner – Konner (I will be missing some
important Patriots, namely my RB and TE)
Jordan & Geoff – Jordan (Jordan should be down a TE,
Geoff will be down his QB, a WR, and a RB or two)
Matt & Chad – Chad (Chad will only be missing Malcom
Floyd, and his kicker, Matt will miss a TE, his DST and two WR’s)
Rob & Brady – Brady (This is close, Brady is missing
some important players, but Rob is missing a lot of players, so he would need
to do more work this week to put in a full roster)
Ren & Tyler – Ren (Ren is missing Foster, though he is
hurt, and a bunch of bench rotation players, maybe the occasional flex, Tyler
will miss his MVP in Luck, and also Edelman.
His QB depth isn’t bad, but losing your best player is never good)
Trevor & Kyle – Trevor (Trevor is only going to miss his
DST, Kyle will miss a TE, WR, K, and DST)
Next Week Scenarios
– Geoff and Jordan is a big one. Geoff
is currently up by about 10 points, but back one win. Next week would jump Geoff up over Jordan, and
possibly over Konner, but I do think Konner will beat me, and will stay ahead
of Geoff. Another big one is Brady and
Rob. If Brady wins he would jump Rob,
and possibly Kyle (who plays Trevor).
Those are the two big games that could change the standings and the wild
card race. That’s it for me. Good luck to everyone but Konner next week.
Weekly Record: 3-1
Year to Date: 26-10
