I was not going to do anything special again this week, but would feel too bad if I did that two weeks in a row. So, for this week’s intro I am going to take each team and give a quick sentence, give their best starting position, their worst starting position, and if I think they will make the playoffs. THIS IS ALL OPINION AND BS. Just enjoy the read. I’ll go by reverse standings.
Suck My Ditka
Snip: If only Manning could make Fantasy WR more consistent. RB position is lacking even more.
Best: QB
Worst: WR
Playoffs: No
Revis and Butthead
Snip: Can’t get these huge injuries with a 1-4 record. Need wins now.
Best: QB
Worst: FLEX
Playoffs: No
Mountain Men
Snip: The Message Board says a lot with Points Against. RB’s are really struggling though.
Best: WR
Worst: RB
Playoffs: No
Champs Balsagna
Snip: Made some moves and looks like the are ready to make a push. If Brady pick’s it up, could really be tough.
Best: WR
Worst: QB
Playoffs: First Team Out
|\/|cNair’s Mayhem
Snip: Started strong and has been downhill since, needs everyone to click at the same time.
Best: FLEX
Worst: TE
Playoffs: No
Keystone St. of Mind
Snip: This team is actually really good. Just stuck in a tough division and losing AP is still pretty extreme.
Best: TE
Worst: QB
Playoffs: No
Monday Nightshift
Snip: Two Stud RB. One needs to stay healthy and the other needs to turn it up. T. Williams has been a nice pick. Once of the best all around starting 9.
Best: RB
Worst: QB
Playoffs: Yes: Will Win Division (3 Seed)
MSIDE’s Year
Snip: Forte was amazing last week. Needs more consistency from WR. Julius has scored every week for 7 total.
Best: TE
Worst: QB
Playoffs: Yes (4 Seed)
Cordarrelle Patterson
Snip: Best team IMO. Should be undefeated. 3 Great RB options. Curious to see how Mathews is upon return.
Best: RB
Worst: QB
Playoffs: Yes: Will Win Division and Get Bye (1 Seed)
The Beefalo’s
Snip: Hilton has literally gotten better every week (9,12,13,16,18) and Tate could see some huge games if Mega is out. Needs to start the right guys.
Best: WR
Worst: TE
Playoffs: Yes (6 Seed)
Krack
Snip: Great talent everywhere on this team, they just need to produce. When everything is clicking this team could rival ‘FU’ for best overall.
Best: WR
Worst: TE
Playoffs: Yes: Will Win Division and Get Bye (2 Seed)
Lawrenceville United
Snip: Needs more consistency from RB and Ellington to stay healthy. Jimmy not missing any time would be huge. Odell (ODB) could play a huge role going forward.
Best: WR
Worst: RB
Playoffs: Yes (5 Seed)
Final Thoughts:
You may have noticed that my 6 to make the playoffs are the 6 that are in now… just with some shuffling around. Obviously things happen of the course of the season that make teams better or worse, but I can’t predict everything. The way I see it now, those 6 teams have the best chance to make it based on their current roster and record. Both the Sex and House divisions see a little more cushion between the top 2 and bottom two. That is going to make it tough for those other teams to catch up, even in the 3 wild-card spots. The fact that the Drugs Division keeps beating up on each other makes it better for those two teams in the Sex and House Division’s that don’t win the Division. That being said, after this week, the next three weeks will be non-divisional games which will be interesting and paint a clearer picture as to how the playoffs and especially the three wild card seeds will play out. One other thing I wanted to comment on was how I gave each team a Best and Worst starting position. This is strictly team by team and in some cases a teams ‘Worst’ does not necessarily mean that it is bad. Monday Nightshift and Cordarrelle Patterson are the best example of this. I do not believe that their QB position is that lacking, I simply think that the other positions are stronger. Which is a good thing for them, I guess. Also, I did not take Kickers and Special Teams / Defense into consideration for those picks. Anyways, good luck in the third divisional game this week, may everyone pick their optimal lineup, nobody get hurt, and the best team win.
