Welcome to the Witching week of LOD. Where we see it all go down. We got a lot of different possibilities this week, but first, I have some interviews from a 3 LOD members.
First one up is Rob, Next is Nauch and the last one I will let you guess lmao.
Now the break down short and sweet with realistic views.
1. Chuck – You are in see you in week 16 where you will await to see who the 4th and 5th seeds are.
2. Joe – You win against Nauch and you clinch the #2 seed.
If you lose, would need a loss from Wings and Nauch to clinch #2 seed.
Can fall to as low as the 4 seed with wins from Wings and Nauch if Nauch outscores you by 28.6
3. Wings – Can clinch #2 seed with a win and Joe L.
Clinches #3 with a win
With a loss can fall to as low as the 5th seed with wins from Nauch and Ant.
Would need a generational low score to not make playoffs (so you are in regardless.)
4. Nauch – Can clinch #2 seed with a win and Wings and Joe loss.
Will Clinch #3 seed with win and wings Loss.
Clinches #4 seed with win.
With a loss and wins from Ant and Ryan. can fall as low as the 6th seed.
If Ryan outscores him by 18.1 he would fall to 6th seed, If not he would clinch 5th seed.
If falls to 6th seed would need to outscore Rob by 24.1 and Gio by 13.7 to remain in playoffs.
5. Ant – Win or loss you are in. No way you are getting outscored by 147+ lol.
If you win and with a nauch and/or wings loss. You can go as high as the #3 seed.
If you lost and Ryan victory. You would officially Eliminate Rob and Gio.
6. Ryan – Ryan if you win you would need a loss From Ant to clinch playoffs.
If you win and Ant and or nauch lose you can go as high as the 4th seed.
If standings were to stay the same you would need to outscore Rob by 42.1 and outscore gio by 31.7 to make the playoffs.
7. Rob – Rob must hold his PF lead and standings to remain to make the playoffs.
If Ant were to lose and Ryan to win he would need to outscore Ant by 146.5 LOL.
Highest you can make it is 6th seed and realistically can eliminate Ryan, Nauch and Gio.
8. Gio – You must outscore Rob by 10.5 and standings to remain the same to make playoffs.
If Ant were to lose and Ryan to win he would need to outscore Ant by 156.8 LMAO.
Highest you can make it is 6th seed and realistically can eliminate Ryan, Nauch and Rob.
Erik – You were picked to win it all and best team drafted. Remember year is not over yet. You have to not finish 10th as the losers bracket will determine that as stated by our commissioner.
Bryan – Bryan you were picked to finish last. Way to meet your expectations we are proud. However, losers bracket is where it matters to not finish 10th to not have the punishment.
Now, Here is ANT!
This is going to be a legendary finish to the year boys. Teams are going to be fighting for their lives this week. Some of you will make it, some of you will not have to care about fantasy until next year, but the real reason we do this is for weeks like this. Good luck to you all and I cant wait for this week to be the lowest scoring week of the year just because fantasy is dumb.
The safe ones:
Chuck: Youre in, nothing else needed
Joe: Youre in, but your fate lies in your hands. If you can avenge your loss from last years championship the #2 seed is yours and you can relax. If you cant, you can drop down to as low as 4. Time for your team to show up like its life depended on it.
Wings: Your team is locked in for the most part. Only way you can get knocked out is by a catastrophic loss to Rob. I think youre safe. Just keep doing what youve been doing all year and you should have nothing to worry about.
Ant: You SHOULD be safe. Same as Wings, only thing that can knock you out is a catastrophic loss. I can end up in 3rd or I can end up in 6th or even out of the playoffs. Truly have the biggest range of outcomes.
On the bubble:
Nauch: With your season on the line a win here means youre in. A loss + a low scoring week could potentially knock you out of the playoffs all together. Plus the devil is working against you with Bryan blocking your waivers. Its time to be a champion and go out there and win a must win game. Even a tie will work.
Rob: Robs team has been on fire to end the season and it might be enough to push him in the playoffs. Currently holding the lead for potential wild card spot, Rob controls his own destiny. A win or a loss doesnt really matter, what matters is that he scores as many points as he possibly can. Potentially the best part of this subplot is, that Joe burrow doesnt play until Monday night, where we will know exactly how many points he needs to lock in his wild card destiny.
Gio: Gio might be the closest to Rob but he has the hardest path. Trailing Rob by only 9.4 points for the wild card spot, Gio has a chance to make playoffs but his roster is going to have to pull some Disney sports movie shit. Matchups are bad, prayer players, and bye week hell has Gios path doable, but possibly unattainable.
Ryan: Ryan has to fight for his life this week. A win doesnt guarantee he’s in so its more going to matter how many points he can put up. Realistically he needs a Nauch low scoring loss, and a win by me and Wings to avoid Robs wild card push. More than ever, he needs his team to just put up as many points as possible.
Thanks for playing:
Erik: I believed in you to start the year, and then you tried to rape me for Derrick Henry at the deadline. We’ll be seeing ya.
Bryan: Thanks for helping out the league by being the leagues glory hole to take players from. We’ll be seeing ya.
Bracket:
1 seed: Chuck
2 seed: Joe
3 seed Wings vs 6 seed Rob. Folie à Deux
4 seed Ant vs 5 seed Ryan. The Colorado-ish bowl
Fantasy MVPS:
QB: Joe Burrow: With 2 record breaking weeks this year Joey Ice may not have done enough for the Bengals, but he did enough for Rob. The only other option here was Lamar, but Burrows recording breaking games took him home the award.
RB: Saquon Barkley: Robs second player with an MVP award on this list and it for good reason. Saquon had all this talk against him that switching to the Eagles would just take away touchdowns. Well obviously that didnt matter. Touchdowns or not, Quon is still HIM
WR: Jamaar Chase: This one is obvious, Jamaar has been the best WR in football and has had a 50+ game and 70+ game. I think Chuck wishes he saved those two games for playoffs but either way he has been a consistent part of chucks dominance this year.
TE: Brock Bowers: Robs THIRD player on this list. For as much hype as Kyle Pitts got coming out of Florida, it was kinda wild how Brock Bowers got typical white boy treatment coming out of Georgia. Brock is going to be a solid TE for years to come, shame he has to play for the Raiders.
Kicker: Chris Boswell: I found Chris Boswell, in the trashcan on waiver in week 2 and hes been the best $2 ever spent. Consistent kicking, perfect offense, and never a doubt from any distance.
Defense: Pittsburgh Steelers: it doesnt matter what the matchup is the Steeler are basically startable every week. Kinda like real life.
