Week 15: A Second Two-Time Champion Will Be Born.

For years, I have been able to give people grief about being the only person to have won multiple championships.  Well no more -- Jordan and Rob both won this week in the semi-finals.  They will face each other next week, but more on that later.

Jordan vs Trevor: There was maybe a chance that this was going to be a game, but then Thursday Night Football kicked off, and Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram II combined for 70 points, and the game was basically over.  It didn't help that Trevor only had one guy score over 20 points, and Jordan and 4 people score over 20.

Ren vs Rob: In the nail-biter of the night (14 points), Rob and Michael Thomas overcame Ren and Alvin Kamara on Monday night.  Ren had another great week from Jameis Winston (40 points), and really good weeks (23 points) from 2 of Davante Triplets (Davante Adams, DaVante Parker, with Devonta Freeman being the black sheep of the family), but it wasn't enough to overcome a season-high output from Saquon, the second-highest from the season from Michael Thomas, a season-high output from Travis Kelce, with quality games from Baker and Hopkins to help him round out his team.

Highest Scorer of the Week: Jordan won this by a hair over Rob. If anyone has a problem with it, make the playoffs next year. 185 points by people in the consolation bracket doesn't interest me.

Lowest Scorer of the Week: Trevor gets the lowest scorer in the playoffs, and is out of the playoffs because of it.

Luckiest Team of the Week:  Technically this will go to Rob as he is the lowest-scoring winner, but it wasn't really that lucky because he was also the second-highest scorer of the week.

Unluckiest Team of the Week:  Technically this will go to Ren as he is the highest-scoring winner, but it wasn't really that unlucky because he was also the second-lowest scorer of the week.

MVP: Michael Thomas gets the win for Rob this week.

LVPs: Alvin Kamara probably deserves this by himself, but Devonta Freeman definitely contributed by getting his 3rd lowest score of the season.

Game Previews

Jordan vs Rob: Jordan has no players on Thursday night, and 5 players in primetime (including 2 on Saturday night).  Rob has no players on Thursday night, and 5 players in primetime (including 3 on Saturday night.  Rob also has one player on Saturday not during primetime.  They each have one player on Monday night.  So this game could mostly be done by Saturday night depending on who starts.

Good luck to Jordan this week.  He will need it as Rob is likely going to win.  I will try to write a bigger preview later this week, but it's Star Wars week, so we'll see when I get around to it.
