1.) (LW #2) [X] Rank This 9-3, 102.92 PPG/1235 PT [.185 NPRP]
Ladies and Gentlemen, the first person to officially clinch a playoff spot: Dave Smith.
Can you smell Darren Sproles in the 1st?
After an awful first round pick. After making a mockery of all the prep time some of us put in. And after all the smack talk, he's finally made it.
He can rest his starters next week, because the top spot is his and his alone. But that doesn't mean the journey is over. Dave can now look ahead to his toughest test yet: A two week showdown with the 4-seed starting in week 14. The winner of that game heads to the ship.
So good work, Dave. You've earned it.
Dave, when asked if he would still draft Darren Sproles in the 1st.
2.) (LW #1) Cobra Commanders 7-5, 106.67 PPG/1280 PT [.173 NPRP]
A tough week for Mama B, losing a game that would have also given her a spot in the show. Now, all she can do this last week is mentally prep and try to ignore Dave's power looming over the division.
Melinda Brown, this weekend.
Thanks to her ridiculous PPG though, she's still a shoe-in, especially considering her final matchup: Matt Smith and the Broken Clavicles. It's really the perfect setup for her, as Matt's team is, well, broken.
They're hurt, they're weak, and they're coming off a loss that put him at dead last in the league in PPG.
So stay focused, Melinda. This is your time.
The East depends on this.
3.) (LW #4) ~ Roswelker 7-5, 100.5 PPG/1206 PT [.163 NPRP]
It's dawn. The passing night was evermore brutal by the minute. He looked around.
There was blood, blood everywhere; and based on the chronic numbness he had to figure some was his. The crimson tint of the Earth lit up as the sun cracked the horizon. These were the final moments. If he could somehow survive this last hour, he just might be able to pass into the new day.
Sean Brown was on one last stand.
First, he needs to beat Dave, the reigning champ of the Power Rankings. With him holding the top seed right now, Sean will be making a statement with a win here. But that in and of itself wont get him in the playoffs.
Sean also needs Matt Smith to pull an upset of his own against Melinda. Without this, her points will outnumber his, rendering his own victory fruitless.
This is the time, but is this the team?
4.) (LW #5) Probation 7-5, 96.75 PPG/1164 PT [.157 NPRP]
After a long string of greatness, followed by a painful slump, Curtis will need a miracl to sneak into the playoffs.
Yes, Curtis has an easy matchup against the Insane Clown Posse, but he needs BOTH Melinda and Sean to lose their games, which is no small feat.
Curtis dealing with his chances.
It's not impossible, mind you. And it will make an incredible story if things work out. May the odds be ever in your favor.
5.) (LW #3) Mama's Homemade Salsa 6-6, 97.8 PPG/1174 PT [.151 NPRP]
OUCH. Not what you want to see from a team that needs a win to clinch. I mean, 4 players with a point or less? Atrocious.
Nick looking at his team this weekend.
And now, things are guaranteed unless he wins. A team built off of potential and luck may need more than just that in order to clean up the rising VERSACE VERSACE in the Makinson Bowl.
But, then again, the return of LeSean McCoy, Giovani Bernard, Steven Hauschka, and a decent week from Victor Cruz will really increase this team's odds. And, while you cant expect Josh Gordan to score 30 points again, you can expect more than -2 points from FOUR COMBINED PLAYERS.
6.) (LW #6) ~ Mosstradamus 5-7, 96.33 PPG/1156 PT [.140 NPRP]
Have I discussed how INSANE this last week is going to be for the Eastern division? Any number of things could happen. Let's look at scenarios:
- SCENARIO 1: Mama's Homemade Salsa beats VERSACE VERSACE, ~ Mosstradamus beats Kaep Happy, Cobra Commanders beats Broken Clavicles.
- Outcome: Nick goes to playoffs with #1 seed, Will sneaks in with #2 seed.
- SCENARIO 2: Mama's Homemade beats VERSACE VERSACE, Kaep Happy beats ~ Mosstradamus, Cobra Commanders beats/loses to Broken Clavicles.
- Outcome: Nick goes to playoffs with #1 seed, Matt goes to playoffs with #2 seed.
- SCENARIO 3: VERSACE VERSACE beats Mama's Homemade Salsa, ~Mosstradamus beats Kaep Happy (and scores 19 more than Nick), Cobra Commanders beats Broken Clavicles.
- Outcome: Will goes to playoffs with #1 seed, Nick goes to playoffs with #2 seed.
- SCENARIO 4: VERSACE VERSACE beats Mama's Homemade Salsa, Kaep Happy beats ~ Mosstradamus, Cobra Commanders beats Broken Clavicles.
- Outcome: Nick goes to playoffs with #1 seed, Corey sneaks in with #2 seed.
- SCENARIO 5: VERSACE VERSACE beats Mama's Homemade Salsa, Kaep Happy beats/loses to ~ Mosstradamus (where Will DOES NOT outscore Nick by 19), Broken Clavicles beats Cobra Commanders.
- Outcome: Matt goes to Playoffs with #1 seed, Nick goes to playoffs with #2 seed, heads roll in West.
- SCENARIO 6: VERSACE VERSACE beats Mama's Homemade Salsa, ~Mosstradamus beats Kaep Happy (where Will DOES outscore Nick by 19), Broken Clavicles beats Cobra Commanders.
- Outcome: Matt goes to Playoffs with #1 seed, Will sneaks into Playoffs with #2 seed. Heads roll in West.
So, yeah, that's what's happening. Based on these scenarios, Will has a 37.5% chance of making playoffs with a 6-7 record. Nick has an 87.5% chance, Matt with 62.5%, and Corey 12,5%. That's math, kids.
Fantasy Football isn't about odds, though. It's about a lot more than that. Can Cheryl stay hot and upset Will like she upset Nick? Can Will blow out Kaepernick and his happiness and pave his way to a repeat 6-7 playoff berth? Only time Will tell.
Good luck, kid.
7.) (LW #7) Broken Clavicles 6-6, 90.5 PPG/1086 PT [.139 NPRP]
Matt, Matt, Matt. Another weak of showing why you're on probation. Starting a hurt tight end? C'mon.
And yet, you still almost pulled it off. I can't even explain it. You lose so hard, and yet you almost always win. It's astounding. You're the darling of the league. The improbable victor. You're like...you're like...
I don't even know. You're just kind of doing your own thing at this point. Just keep doing your thing. That's really all there is to say at this point.
8.) (LW #8) Kaep Happy 4-8, 100.17 PPG/1202 PT [.137 NPRP]
I just...I can't believe it. It wasn't even your best week and you destroyed me. All I needed was that win Cheryl...I was so nice to you ALL YEAR and this is what I get? I DIDN'T EVEN GET A "GOOD GAME" TEXT BECAUSE I KNOW IT WASN'T. THAT'S LIKE NOT GETTING A PARTICIPATION TROPHY AS A KID BECAUSE YOU CAN HARDLY CALL WHAT I DID "PARTICIPATING" [Shoutout to my 2nd grade soccer Team].
But in all seriousness. Good game. I'm happy to see you put up numbers and try to mess up playoff brackets unlike the OTHER team who can't make playoffs (DAD). And, most importantly, you warmed up for the last week of the season, which will ultimately determine who makes it and who doesn't. You're a team of destiny, Cheryl. Everything lies in your hands. Can you please help me get in? Because if I don't make it then I'll get real emotional. It'll be depressing.
HE DID IT!!!!! After ten straight weeks at #10, Corey Hewett has walked out of Hell with his pride.
And, most importantly, he's got a snowball's chance at Playoffs still.
I mean, can you imagine if he traded away all his players and stayed in tenth? It must feel great. But, while it all feels good, a big rivalry game might be the last thing he wanted standing between him and the ultimate comeback.
The Salsa? Sounds like a Sheriff in the wild West. VERSACE is the lone ranger. Who prevails? Will the Salsa be done all over Corey's newfound hopes and dreams? Or will someone else be dancing?
10.) (LW #9) Insane Clown Posse 4-8, 93 PPG/1116 PT [.127 NPRP]
TIMBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Former championship contender turned #10? Ouch.. Just painful. Especially considering how close he has come to wins recently. I guess we've all learned that when you call someone your quarterback from here on out, you should START HIM.
There it is.
C'mon Bobby B! You have to drive 9 hours to Thanksgiving dinner, not even thinking about Fantasy football and you expect to do well? You don't prep a whole lot and you expect draft praise? You expect us to wake up at 7am already packed and have food when you get to Pleasanton? You know what you get this year for a Fantasy prize?
