With injuries mounting, intensity and despair run rapid in the league. As we approach an important few weeks of the season, teams are starting to establish themselves as contenders and pretenders. The fantasy world reminds us that there’s two kinds of league owners: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. Who are you?
1. Tyreeky Blinders – Mike Minnock (LW: #1)
For the first this season, we have a number #1 in back to back weeks. Another week, another huge game for Mike. With how explosive his team is, his lack of depth shouldn’t affect him down the stretch. The only thing can mess this up for Mike, is Mike himself. Man likes digging holes.
2. Breach of Peace – Remington Rockwood (LW: #2)
Guess who won? Oh yeah it’s Remmy. This week, even though it was convincing, he did play Roland’s shit team. Remmy stays 2nd on the power rankings, but the way he’s playing he’ll take 1st place in week 17.
3. Lockett Exploded on Date – Andrew DeJong (LW: #7)
You know I felt great Thursday night when Andrew started another negative point defense. That all changed Sunday when old man Thelein fucking scored 20 points. Even his “shitty” players are playing out of their mind.
4. Vu Tang Clan – Loc Vu (LW: # 4)
Chase finally hit for Loc. But still can’t outscore Andrew which keeps Loc at 4th. Hopefully Achane is healthy, but thankfully Loc has a plethora of backup RBs turned starters/fantasy studs.
5. Used To Be A Piece of Shiit – Tyler McDaniel (LW: #8)
Wow, this was supposed to be the week Tyler basically gives up since his entire team was bye, but he pulled out a victory against his rival Gavin (BK has the pull the all-time series)
6. Triple H – Gavin Walton (LW: #1)
Tough loss, that he almost came back with the help of Jacobi “Don’t call me Jason” Meyers. With Barkley coming back Gavin’s team should bounce back nicely.
7. Amon-Rawdawg – Brian Ko (LW: #6)
Tough loss, but at least Fields is for real again. With ARSB out and no production from your RBs the loss is bareable. If Fields keeps this up BK’s team can be Dangerous!
8. Used To Be A Sacko – Jake Schiller (LW: #9)
Schiller moves up the rankings only because he won. The fact that, even though he was going to beat Sam, he left Aaron Jones in his starting lineup rather than the shrewd move of putting Jones in IR and getting someone off waivers for free keeps Jake out of the top half of the league, and still in the bottom half of in-season management.
9. I like the Kupp of your Gibbs – Ari Perlin (LW: #10)
Rarely does a team move up without winning a game, but Ari’s team is starting to heat up! He lost, but Kupp is officially back. Watch out, Ari’s luck is finally starting to turn around.
10. Tua Infinity and Beyond – Sam Livingston (LW: #3)
Karma is a bitch. Talk shit about injuries (but did he really?) and now the fantasy gods have taken Jefferson from you. Plus Rhamondre sucks. Can Sam turn this around or will he trade all his good players for nothing and finish in last or second to last like last year?
11. The Driving Conner – Roland Hurlbert (LW: 11)
Don’t make fun of injuries. Or at least don’t don’t make fun of Roland’s injuries while he does it to other peoples. RIPIP Mike Will #Triggered
12. Butler Stuff – Brendan Butler (LW: #12)
I had one player score double digits. Just one, and BARELY double diggies. But I do get Ekeler back this week. Do I make a comeback? I’ll start digging.
