Week 11: A Week 12 Years in the Making

After 12 years of never having these matchups, this week lived up to the hype.  Going into Sunday night, 4 games were still up in the air, and going into Monday night, 2 games were still undecided and could go either way. 

Game Recaps

Skyler vs Jordan: In the matchup with the most history this week, it looked like Justin Jefferson might single-handedly get Jordan the win, but his hot start wasn't enough to hold on to the lead. This was one of the two games that were decided before Sunday night, and anything that happened during primetime only served to run up the score. Besides Justin Jefferson (leading scorer in the game at 37.2), Jordan had a solid showing from several players, but no one else broke 20. Skyler was able to counteract Jefferson with a 30 point game from Davante, followed by Diontae and last-minute pickup Tua. 

Chad vs Rob: This was one of the 4 games that went into Sunday night close, but then 3 of Rob's top 4 scorer's played on Sunday (Ekeler, Najee, Mike Williams) and put the game away.  Najee and Williams were good and combined for 38+ points, but Ekeler put up 41.5 by himself.  Yet the 4 total touchdowns Ekeler scored wasn't enough to be the single leading scorer of the week. For good measure, the other member of Rob's top 4 scorer's that was mentioned above played on Monday night (Tom Brady) and just added insult to injury by scoring 20+ points.  Chad actually had a really good week from his star players with Jalen scoring 30+, and Mixon, Evans, and McLaurin each getting 20+.  Total, Chad had 130 points, which should be good enough to win most weeks, but this was a league bounceback week, and he was only the 5th highest scorer, yet he wasn't even the unluckiest team this week. Not to spoil too much, but Chad's loss did put the North at 3-1 this week.  Thanks a lot, loser.

Matt vs Brady: In what I thought was the most important game of the week, Brady squeaked by Matt by the narrow margin (but still not the narrowest margin this week) 1.52  points. Dalvin Cook was the only player on Matt's team to break 20+ points.  If only Matt had a trade offer out there this week that would have won him his game -- but I digress.  Brady had two players over 20+ -- Keenan Allen with 20.20 and the Pats DST with 35.  It turns out that last-minute pick 6 by the Pats DST wasn't running up the score, but instead was a major factor in Brady winning. Brady was nearly undone by an injury to CeeDee Lamb, who left the game at 4.4 points, but it also kept Prescott to a terrible 2.64 points. He also lost Michael Carter to injury, and Darrel Williams was effectively useless since CEH came back -- for Matt's team might I add. Matt's loss came about thanks to the 2nd worst week of the season for both DK and Chase. I know TE's are hit or miss in this league, but Dan Arn0ld was a big miss in a week with the (second) narrowest of margins. The game came down to Fournette and Succop against Godwin, and Godwin was the single highest scorer of the 3, but Fournette plus Succop was just enough to get the narrow win at the end.

Tyler vs Trevor: In what was easily the most entertaining game of the week (if not the year) for neutrals we had the Bonanza (what), the weekly nail-biter (what), the nightly nail-biter (what), and the Monday Night Miracle/Nightmare (what).  For the records, all of the "(what)'s" is a reference to a small bit on the Pat McAfee Show.  Anyway, this game won the bonanza by less than a point over Rob and Chad, and the nail-biter by less than 2 points over Matt and Brady -- with Tyler winning by 0.18 points.  That's one rushing yard and two passing yards.  As of this writing (Wednesday morning), no stat corrections have taken place that would change this outcome, but it could still happen. Tyler had QAaron Rodger score 40+ points Tyreek score 20, which somehow was enough to beath Trevor who had an amazing 53.4 from Jonathan Taylor.  Lest you think Taylor was the only one to show up for Trevor, he also had Swift, Thielen, and Kelce combine for 62+.  Unfortunately for Trevor, he placed too much faith in his Titans and had two WR's score less than 7.5 combined points. Tyler had 8 of his 9 players score in double digits, which was enough to combat Trevor's high-scoring studs and his low-scoring duds.

TJ vs Tommy: The only 'award' Tyler and Trevor didn't win was the battle of ineptitude, which was rightfully earned by this matchup. Tommy was the 7th highest scorer this week, and this still managed to be the blowout of the week with Tommy winning by over 40 points. This wasn't totally unexpected on TJ's side as Hollywood was part of the bug going around Baltimore, Woods was on bye, and Patterson was a late scratch -- it's just unfortunate his remaining starters couldn't pull it together while some of the better players were recovering. Tommy had the only two players to score 20+ this game in McCaffrey and Conner.  He also had a DST that score -3, but that ended up not mattering this week as Tommy got the win, and held onto 3rd place in the league.

Kyle vs Brandon: This started out as a low-scoring game -- it ended as a low-scoring game too, but it also started as one -- but it was a somewhat exciting one as Brandon was behind after the afternoon games, but then 40 points on Sunday night from Herbert gave him the victory.  For good measure, he had Toney run up the score a little more on Monday night and he ended up winning by 20. Herbert was Brandon's only good player, while Kyle had Kyle Allen and Nick Chubb get 20+ each. Both teams will be hoping for better from their benches as they get back to their divisional games.

Award Season

MVP: If there is a stat correction after publishing, and Trevor wins, this will go to JT.  Until then, this award will go to Justin Herbert for getting Brandon the comeback win.  There were some contenders on the closer games who helped their teams win late, but none of them had amazing games, so I'm giving this to Herbert. Rodgers came in second place, and that Pats DST in third, but the narrative of Herberts late game heroics puts him over the top.

LVP: The Titan's played a terrible game against the Texans.  The whole team gets the LVP as Trevor started their QB, K, and DST, and they combined for 19.22.  Individually, it was Tannehill's worst game of the season, Bullocks worst game of the season, while the DST was middle of the road for them.

Luckiest Team of the Week: Brandon was the 9th highest scorer (aka not good) but still got the win.  However, I will give this to Tommy instead.  He was only two points better, still won, and maintains a hold on the 3 seed, and controls his own destiny to win at least the two seed, and get a bye -- more on that later. In case you can't tell -- I'm bitter that he won. 

Unluckiest Team of the Week:  Trevor was the 3rd highest scorer of the week, and still lost.  The fact that it was by 0.18 points and he had JT who scored 50+ just makes it worse.

Highest Scoring Team of the Week: Skyler wins this for his second time of the year.

Lowest Scoring Team of the Week: TJ also 'wins' this for his second time of the year.

Playoff Update

I give the South a lot of crap for being bad, and rightly so, but Tyler has already won the West division and guaranteed himself no worse than the 2 seed, though, given his record and points, he is clearly the favorite to get the 1 seed.

No one has technically been eliminated.  All the 3 win teams could get to 6 wins, and Brady (the current 6 seed) currently has 6 wins.  If they catch up on points, and Brady loses out, they are in.  It's an obvious long shot.  Brady started the season with a 5 game losing streak, so who knows how he will finish.

Chad, Tommy, and Skyler all 'control' their own fates for the top seed in the North -- as much as any of us can control our fates in fantasy football.  If any one of them wins out, they win the division. Everyone in the South controls their fate for the top seed in the south (record-wise anyway, tie-breakers could still come into effect). Jordan, TJ, and Kyle will depend on other people winning and losing to make the playoffs.

Game Previews

We are getting back to the division games this week, so every game is a little more important.  

Skyler (4) vs Tommy (3): Skyler has 1 player on Thanksgiving and 2 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Tommy has 2 players on Thanksgiving and 0 players in primetime. He has 3 players on bye. The winner of this game will be in second place in the North division --first if Chad also loses.

Jordan (7) vs TJ (9): Jordan has 1 player on Thanksgiving and 1 player in primetime. He has 4 players on bye. TJ has 2 players on Thanksgiving and 1 player in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Both teams are playing for the last wildcard spot -- so their fates will be dependant on Brady.

Kyle (12) vs Tyler (1): Kyle has 4 players on Thanksgiving and 2 players in primetime. He has 2 players on bye. Tyler has 2 players on Thanksgiving and 2 players in primetime. He has 1 player on bye. Tyler has won the division, Kyle is trying to the wild card. If Kyle loses, he will officially be out of the playoffs. 

Matt (6) vs Rob (8): Matt has 1 player on Thanksgiving and 3 players in primetime. He has 1 player on bye. Rob has 1 player on Thanksgiving and 1 player in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. The winner of this match will be in first place for the division.

Chad (2) vs Brady (5): Chad has 1 player on Thanksgiving and 2 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Brady has 3 players on Thanksgiving and 0 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. If Brady wins, he will get to 7 wins, and anyone at 4 and under wins (after this week) will be eliminated from wild-card contention.

Brandon (10) vs Trevor (11): Brandon has 2 players on Thanksgiving and 0 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Trevor has 1 player on Thanksgiving and 0 players in primetime. He has 1 player on bye. If Trevor loses and Matt wins, Trevor will be eliminated from the division race. 

Scenarios by Team

Chad, Tommy, Skyler, Brady, Tyler, Jordan, Matt: Nothing of note can happen this week.

Trevor and Kyle: Eliminated from wildcard with a Brady win. Trevor eliminated from division champion with a loss and a Matt win.

Rob, Brandon, TJ: Eliminated from wildcard with a loss and a Brady win.

Good luck to everyone but Tommy this week.

Weeks 8-10: My Bad

So during my paternity leave, I've been watching Star Wars.  I have been getting into the deleted scenes and there is a deleted scene from Empire Strikes Back where Yoda and Luke are discussing how the path to the dark side begins with fear.  I'm paraphrasing, but Yoda says "Luke, why fear nine the other numbers?", and Luke says "Master, have you been smoking the leaves of the Lahdia plant again?". Yoda responds, "Because 10, 9, 8".  And then the really trippy part of the scene is right after when Yoda says "Speaking of 8, a future see I, where most derided episode 8 is".  It's truly a mind-blowing scene for so many reasons.

Now that you are distracted by that stupidity, hopefully, you've forgotten that I haven't done write-ups for weeks 8 and 9, and you'll just willingly accept that when you see them below, they are bonus content/recaps from blogs that you've already read but forgotten.

Week 8 Quick Recaps

Skyler vs Matt: Matt won; Weekly bonanza by a narrow margin; Stafford, Godwin, and Metcalf good.

Rob vs Tommy: Rob Tommy won; Weekly Nail-biter; no Monday Night Miracle/Nightmare since Tommy couldn't get a comeback win with the Bills DST; Brady, Harris, Ekeler, and Beasley good. Pittman and stat corrections better.

Chad vs Tyler: Tyler won; Weekly blowout; Tyreek Hill, Cooper Kupp good.

Kyle vs Brady: Brady won; Monday Night Miracle/Nightmare; Carter, Mixon, and Jones good.

Brandon vs TJ: Brandon won; Jones, Henderson, Cooper, and Brown good -- and also really generic last names.

Jordan vs Trevor: Trevor won; battle of ineptitude, one of two games to not combine for over 200 points; Tannehill and Taylor good.

MVP: Bills DST, their blocked kick, and stat corrections.

LVP: Tom Brady's interception at the end of his game lost him 2 points, Rob lost by 0.64

Luckiest Team of the Week:  Tommy was the 3rd highest scorer and wins this award.  He went to bed a loser and woke up a winner.  Technically he earned the win and the system was just slow, but still, he wins this award.

Unluckiest Team of the Week: Rob was the 4th highest scorer of the week, and also, the whole stat correction thing.

Week 9 Quick Recaps

Skyler vs Rob: Skyler won; Monday night nail biter; Lamar and Kamara good.

Matt vs Tommy: Tommy won; Conner amazing.

TJ vs Trevor: TJ won; Weekly Bonanza (beat Matt and Tommy for this award by 0.8); Cousins and Brown good.

Jordan vs Brandon: Jordan won; Battle of Ineptitude; Dolphins DST good enough.

Tyler vs Brady: Brady won; Weekly blowout (beat Matt and Tommy by .94); Prescott, Mixon, and Pats DST good.

Kyle vs Chad: Chad won; Weekly nail-biter; Allen and Smith good.

MVP: James Conner scoring 40.3 for the highest-scoring team.  His season high before this game was 20.6.

LVP: Josh Allen had his season low this game.  If he scores his average, Kyle wins.

Luckiest Team of the Week: Jordan was the 8th highest scorer this week, but still won.

Unluckiest Team of the Week: Trevor was the 4th highest scorer this week, but still lost.

Week 9 had a lot of low scores, which also happened in...

Week 10 

Game Recaps

Skyler vs TJ: Stop me if you've heard this before, but TJ had a lead going into Monday night, but then lost anyway, so this was the Monday Night Miracle/Nightmare. Deebo put up 30.30 on Monday night to take a 15 point defecit and turn it into a 15 point victory.  Unfortunately for TJ, he started the wrong TE, otherwise he would have won this game.  TJ had three players (Cousins, Zeke, and the Packers) with 20+ points, while Skyler only had two (Gibson and Samuel), though one of them had 30+.  Fortunately for Skyler, his lower end players showed up, whereas TJ was letdown by TJ H0ckens0n.

Tommy vs Jordan: This was the weekly blowout, with Tommy beating Jordan by nearly 65 points.  This was made possible by Mahomes having a season high game at 46.24 points, combined with CMC doing 25+ and Mark Ingram turning back the clock to put up 20.  Justin Jefferson scored 22.9 and Steffon Diggs scored 30.20, for a combined 53.1 points.  The rest of Jordan's team combined for 32.54.  It's great to have stars, but even they need help to win -- just ask LeBron.

Chad vs Matt: This game was something else and this is what I want to say to Chad and Matt for all of us who witnessed it. We haven't had a game where both teams scored under 100 since week 10 of last year (they were actually both under 90 last year). This snoozefest of a tickle fight was the battle of ineptitude, but the North won, and that's all I care about. Chad got 45+ combined points from his Eagles stack, while Matt only had Dalvin Cook who break 20. Matt tried to make a comeback on Monday Night behind 3 players, including Stafford and Mitchell, but they weren't able to get the Miracle.  They were able to make it close though, so this was the weekly and Monday night nail-biter.

Brady vs Rob: Brady and Rob combined for the Weekly Bonanza, though most of that is thanks to Brady and his 172 points. Brady managed to pull that feat with only three players (Prescott, Lamb, and Williams) in the 25+ point club (two of them Cowboys). It's only fitting the hottest team in the league had the hottest team of the week. Rob didn't have anyone who scored 20+, but had a well rounded team with six players who had scored in the 14-19 range.

Tyler vs Brandon: Tyler put a solid beatdown on Brandon thanks to 75 combined points from Tyreek, Kupp, and the Cowboys DST. Brandon's high scorer was Herbert at 14 points. There isn't much more to say about this game on a micro level. More will be on a macro level below.

Trevor vs Kyle: Trevor got his 3rd win of the season thanks to the 4th highest score of the week and, more importantly, not having his opponent have a great week. Trevor was carried to victory by his Dynamic Duo of Tannehill and Taylor eaching getting 20+ points.  Kyle also had two players go 20+ (Allen and Johnson), but unlike Trevor, the rest of his team crapped the bed (four players under 5 points -- Trevor had none of those players).

Award Season

MVP: Deebo for carrying Skyler past TJ on the Monday Night Miracle.

LVP: Stafford picked a bad time to have his lowest game of the season. If Stafford gets his average, Matt wins his game and puts the South in a stranglehold.

Unluckiest Team of the Week: Rob was the highest scoring loser.  He was the 6th highest scorer of the week, so not super unlucky, but unlucky all the same.

Luckiest Team of the Week: Chad is the lowest scoring winner (8th highest scoring team of the week), so he wins the award.

This year, I've forgotten to shout out  the high and low scorers of the week, and I wanted to bring that back.

Highest Scoring Team of the Week: Brady -- this is Brady's first win of the 2021 season.

Lowest Scoring Team of the Week: Brandon -- this is is Brandon's second 'win' of the season, his other coming in week 4.

Playoff Implications

Everyone in the North is currently in the thick of the playoff hunt.  A whole division has never made the playoffs before, and it likely won't happen this year, but the reason it's even close to happening is because the North has gone 8-0 the last two weeks.  It also helps that 0-5 Brady is now 5-5 Brady.

Matt currently has a two game lead in the South division. If everything breaks his way this week, he could be sitting on a 3 game lead with only 3 games to go, and would be a virtual lock to win his division.  However, that means he has to win, and everyone in the South would have to lose. That could very well happen as the South is 1-7 the last two weeks

Tyler has a 3 game lead in the West, and if he wins and Jordan loses this week, he will have a 4 game lead with 3 games to go -- aka he will win his division before division games start back up.

Before this year, teams who won 8+ games made the playoffs 100% of the time. Maybe that changes in the future, but odds are that Tyler and Chad could lose out and make the playoffs.  If my memory is correct, teams that won 7 games made the playoffs 2/3 of the time, and teams who won 6 games made it 1/3 of the time.  I wouldn't be surprised to 6 win playoff teams become a thing of the past with 14 game -- and perhaps the percentage of teams who win 7 games drops to 50%.  So there's always a chance Tommy misses the playoffs, or someone else who only gets to 7 wins misses, but if I had to bet, I would say Tommy gets in.

This is the new week where we are all playing someone for the first time in the regular season, so it should be a fun new change. After this week, we get back to our division rivalries, and thats when the playoff seeding will crystalize.

Game Previews

Every matchup, except the last one, has a combined score (combining the seeds) of 11, so there doesn't seem to be any clear favorite for the bonanza or the weekly nail-biter. 

Also, since these are the new games, I will look up the record for each matchup in the playoffs to see how meaningful games have gone in the past.

Skyler (4) vs Jordan (7): Skyler has 1 player on Thursday night and 2 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Jordan has 1 player on Thursday night and 0 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Playoff History: Skyler 3 - Jordan 1. Skyler's last win was the first round in 2013, Jordan's last win was the first round in 2016. These teams met in the playoffs every year from 2011-2013, and have played more than every other remaining matchup combined. A win from Jordan means Tyler doesn't win the division.

Chad (2) vs Rob (9): Chad has 2 players on Thursday night and 1 player in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Rob has 0 players on Thursday night, and 3 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Playoff History: Chad 0 - Rob 1. Chad has never beat Rob in the playoffs, Rob's last win was the semi-finals in 2020.  Chad needs a win to make sure he stays a game ahead of Tommy to secure the bye week.

Matt (5) vs Brady (6): Matt has 0 players on Thursday night and 1 player in primetime. He has various people on bye, but it appears only 1 of them is a main starter. Brady has 1 player on Thursday night and 3 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. This is the early favorite for the nightly nail-biter and the Monday Night Miracle/Nightmare since there are 3 players on MNF in this game.  Playoff History: Matt 0 - Brady 1. Matt has never beat Brady in the playoffs, Brady's last win was in the championship in 2018.  This game will have a big affect on the seedings.  Thanks to the motion that passed earlier this week, the worst division winner is not guaranteed the 3 seed.  So this game could see Matt slip to the 6th seed while still leading the division.

Tyler (1) vs Trevor (10): Tyler has 0 players on Thursday night and 1 player in primetime. He has 2 players on bye. Trevor has 0 players on Thursday night and 1 player in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Playoff History: Tyler 0 - Trevor 0.  These teams have never met in the playoffs. A Tyler win doesn't guarantee he wins the division, but if he wins, the worst he'll do is 3 games up on everyone else with 3 games to go and roughly 150+ ahead on the points tiebreaker

TJ (8) vs Tommy (3): TJ has 2 players on Thursday night and 2 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Tommy has 0 players on Thursday night and 0 players in primetime. He has 0 players on bye. Playoff History: TJ 0 - Tommy 0. These teams have never met in the playoffs.

Kyle (11) vs Brandon (12): Kyle has 0 players on Thursday night and 0 players in primetime. He has 1 player on bye. Brandon has 1 player on Thursday night and 1 player in primetime.  He has five players on bye, but I'm sure how many of them would start if they weren't on bye.  That number is probably closer to 2 or 3 potentially starters missing. This looks like the battle of ineptitude given their rankings. Playoff History: Kyle 0 - Brandon 0. These teams have never met in the playoffs.  They should have played during the regular season where Brandon was in the North division for a year, but due to my excitement of adding Chad back to the league, I made some changes that may have affected history. Either way, I believe Kyle beat Brandon in their regular season matchup. If Kyle loses, he will need everything else to go right to not be eliminated from the playoffs.  Brandon can lose and not be elimianted since Matt is only 2 game ahead of him right now.

I think the only person who can officially be elimianted this week is Kyle, and the only person who can officially clinch is Tyler.  Other than that, we are all still alive for either our division or for the wild card spots.

I started writing this on Wednesday, and when I told Jocelyn I was 3 weeks behind, she was far more vocal in her shock/outrage than I expected.  Also, she was shocked when I was still working on it this morning.  So if nothing else, she is on your side that I need to be better about publishing these.

Good luck to everyone but Jordan this week.

Week 7.99 bar: Oh No, We're Late Again

I saw "We" because of the meme, but we all know this is an individual effort -- so I'll blame this delay on my children.

Game Recaps

Skyler vs Kyle: This was the nail-biter of the night, the weekly nail-biter and it was also the Monday Night Miracle/Nightmare. Kyle started off strong with injury replacement D'Ernest Johnson and bye week replacement Joe Burrow (combined for 56 points).  That gave Kyle a solid lead going into Sunday night, where it turned into Deebo Samuel vs the Colts DST -- fantasy purposes as well as actually happening on the field.  There were a couple of interesting swing moments, where Deebo fumbled and the Colts recovered (4 point swing), or where the Colts would pick off a pass intended for Deebo.  Kyle had a 20 point lead going into Monday Night, where he had Callaway and Skyler had Kamara.  Callaway came back down to earth, and Kamara and his best game of the season. In the end, Skyler was able to turn a 20 point deficit into an 8 point victory thanks to a lot of dump-off passes.

Brandon vs Brady: Brandon got off to a quick head start thanks to TNF, but Brady ended up leading once Sunday came around, and held onto the victory through Monday. Scary Terry anchored the strong team performance scoring 25+ points, and bye week replacement Matt Ryan filled in admirably, being the only other player to score 20+ for Brady. AJ Brown tried to help Brandon to victory by scoring 27+ points, but when no one else on your team scores 19+, it makes things hard.

Chad vs Trevor: Chad beat the good doctor down by 45 points, and that was only the 3rd most lopsided win of the week, and only the 2nd most lopsided win over a doctor -- and that was with one of Chad's players scoring him a 0. Chad had 4 players score 20+ points, including one 30+ point player, and none of them were Derrick Henry.  You know you had a good week when Derrick Henry is your 5th leading scorer. Trevor had Tannehill and Swift score 20+ but the rest of his team was mediocre at best. Even though this was one of the bigger blowouts, this ended up being the weekly bonanza.

Rob vs TJ: Rob scored right around 105 points, and had one player score 35+ and no one else scored over 18.  TJ's high scorer was 23 points, and only had one other person score over 18 -- yet he somehow scored 126 as a team.  Sometimes fantasy football is weird. The weirdness led to the weekly battle of ineptitude.

Matt vs Jordan: I'm sure there are ethical restrictions around Jordan giving out medication to anyone without a prescription, including himself, but after getting beat down by 70, he will want to take something strong to help the pain. Kyler scored 27 of Jordans' 100 points, while Matt got a combined 67 points from Stafford and Chase.

Tommy vs Tyler: This was the second biggest blowout of of the week.  Tyler had a really good score of 150.26, and Tommy had a really bad score of 90.64.  Tyler's great score was primarily thanks to the combined efforts of Rodgers, Kupp, and Gesicki who combined for 89.76, which was nearly enough to beat Tommy by themselves. Tommy had a good game from Pittman, but is continued to be let down by Mahomes.  Mahomes scored single digit points, and this was his first regular season game without a passing TD since September of 2019

Award Season

MVP: Kamara had a season high game and took a 20 point defecit and turned it into an 8 point win.

LVP: I'm taking a cop out on this one, but week 7 is the LVP.  This bye-pocalypse was a real kick to the junk for most teams.

Luckiest Team of the Week: TJ was the lowest scoring winner, and would have only beat 5 teams this week. That's not super lucky, but it was lucky enough this week.

Unluckiest Team of the Week: Kyle was the highest scoring loser, and he lost on Monday night behind a season high performance from his opponents first round pick -- who happens to play for his favorite real life team, who nearly lost.  I'm sure it was an unfortunate cheering situation for Kyle.

Game Previews

Hahaha, not happening because the games already happened because I'm over a week late.
