Emergency PR Rankings – let’s go!
12. Crazy Train (2-8)
This has just not been your season. Having two high busts on your team with Swift and Pitts has kneecapped your ability to score high amounts of points this year, as evidenced by your league low PF. However, you play in the weakest division in the league so there’s still an outside chance of winning the division and sneaking your way into the playoffs or at least playing spoiler!
11. Conner Party (4-6)
After a few weeks, we can confirm that no one is indeed managing this team. A sad state of affairs when after the first few weeks, this looked like the dominant team in the league. Key matchups against Chaos and Great Again will determine if you hold the tiebreakers against them or if one of those two teams will surpass you.
10. Make Fantasy Great Again (3-7)
He has a great chance of picking up a 4th win this weekend which would put him in a tie with Conner Party heading into division play. There’s a good balance between RB and WR depth which should serve him well heading into the final stretch of games.
9. Kittle bit of CHAOS (3-7)
CHAOS has the slight lead against Great Again due to higher quality of QB and RB. WR is still a weak spot but should have enough depth especially if Allen returns fully healthy. This week might be difficult to achieve a victory but it’s all about division play. Winning 2 of 3 there puts you in prime position to sneak into the playoffs.
8. Team Suspension (4-6)
Kupp going down effectively puts the nail in the coffin of this team (Taps plays in the background). However, this team is well positioned to play spoiler the rest of the way starting with Feeling It this week in what is essentially a playoff elimination game. Good luck and happy hunting!
7. I’m Really Feeling It! (4-6)
On paper, this team should be better than its record indicates. Burrow, Cook, Lamb, and Higgins are elite talents that deserve a chance in the playoffs. Only pathway for this team is through a wild card and the tiebreakers are not in this teams favor right now. They need to avoid an upset this weekend to keep their hopes alive.
6. Baker’s Dozen (5-5)
That loss last week was bad as now they are the first team outside the playoff picture. Need to avoid another upset this week against the managerless team and head into division play 6-5 needing 2 wins to make a compelling case for the playoffs. Keep riding King Henry and hope for the best!
5. San Diego State Fightin Araizas (7-3)
This team’s title hopes rest on getting Chase back healthy in time for the playoffs. Having 3 elite WRs is what sets this team apart from anyone else. However, their RB depth is also one of the weakest in the league and could hurt them down the stretch. The week 13 matchup against Cougar Hunters is going to determine who wins the division and then a playoff round 1 bye.
4. Koo Koo Ka Choo (5-5)
This begins my rankings of the teams with the best chances of winning the championship. Choo slides in at #4 due to them having the best QB, WR, and TE combo in the week with all 3 being in the top 3 at their respective positions. They are limited by their RB depth but with Rachaad White breaking out in Tampa, that position might deliver enough value to deliver a championship. They are right now the last team in the playoffs so winning will be important in order to keep them in the hunt.
3. *TeamName Redacted* (6-4)
I know I’ve mentioned this before but I love, love this team. Only thing keeping this team from being higher is that they likely won’t have a 1st round bye in the playoffs so they’ll have to contend with an extra round of games. Best QB in the league, one of the best RB tandoms, and a solid group of 3 WRs means they can withstand that and compete for the title.
2. It Just Means Moore (8-2)
Oh what do you say? Another excellent QB, fantastic duo of RBs, and adequate WR depth? Yeah, basically a carbon copy of the team just behind them in the standings/rankings. Moore has an inside track to a 1st round bye and winning 2 of their last 4 probably guarantees them that seed. Now, they just need to beat the #1 team this week to get the #1 seed.
1. Wilson’s Cougar Hunters (9-1)
Ok, so the first half of the season I was definitely lucky, but I knew that I wouldn’t go far unless I figured out my dumpster fire of a QB situation. Justin Fields of all players has answered those prayers and now I’m a juggernaut... for now. Truth is, any one of the last 4 teams have the same quality of players and winning a 1st round bye is no guarantee of playoff success (see last year). Division play is going to be fun!
Game of the Week: It Just Means Moore vs Wilson’s Cougar Hunters
Yeah, two best teams going at it? Nicknames flying around? One-sided affair in Moore’s favor? Playoff seeding implications? It’s going to be a doozy! Moore by 2.5.
Game of the Week #2: Team Suspension vs. I’m Really Feeling It
This is a playoff eliminator right here. If Feeling It wins, Suspension is gone and Feeling it needs to sweep their division play to have a chance. If Suspension wins, both teams are probably eliminated since Kupp is gone for the rest of the season. Suspension fits the role of spoiler perfectly the rest of the way. It starts here today. Feeling It by 11.
Upset Alert: Fightin Araizas vs. Make Fantasy Great Again
Projected low scoring and one team has already locked up a playoff spot and the other is fighting for their division crown. Give me the underdog here. Great Again by 3.
Yawn Game: Baker’s Dozen vs. Conner Party
Only one team cares here. Yawn. Baker’s by 24
The Other Games
*TeamName Redacted* vs. Crazy Train – should be an easy win for Redacted*, especially with Allen playing in an indoor stadium instead of in 6 feet of snow. That’ll help with scoring. Redacted* by 18
Koo Koo Ka Choo vs. Kittle bit of CHAOS – be nice if there were some CHAOS this week but I’m feeling another blowout victory for the Bacon division here. CHAOS will have their chances the next 3 weeks. Choo by 16.
There you have it! Good luck this week but the real fun begins next week with many races left undecided. Plus Thanksgiving football. Go Lions!!!
