I think the biggest surprise this season in terms of qbs struggling and then moving on to have great success has been Daniel Jones. He’s just been a completely new qb.
Yikes. I think my team had a little too much turkey and stuffing this week. I seem to be trending in the wrong direction at the worst time of the year! LOL
7th and 8th place are mathematically eliminated at 4-9. They cannot catch up to 4th place (7-6) with 2 games left.
6th place (Wreck it Ralph) is mathematically still in the race at 5-8. But has to win 2.
- if tie breaker is points, he would have to also gain ~200 points in 2 games…which is essentially 0% probability.
- If the tie-breaker is head2head, he could overtake Nabers with a win this week as he’d be 2-0 in head to head, and Nabers would have to lose their last game (who plays 11-2 Rusty). This is actually feasible.
5th place (Dirty D) is a game back of 3rd and 4th, 2 games back of 2nd. Many possibilities, but no head to head advantage and back 60+ pts. Needs to essentially win out and hope either 2nd, 3rd or 4th lose 2.
Note: Dirty Plays 2nd and 4th place the last two weeks, and has won 4/5 games after losing by 0.12 pts in week 8 (to Mega City)…and that one loss since was by less than 10 pts. D is not going down without a fight…
So significant uphill battles for 5th and 6th…but still plenty to play for. And those eliminated can still shape the playoff picture in the roll of spoiler.

I will be honest and say, this year has kicked my ass. Last November my father in law decided to go off dialysis and pass away. He figured it would be quick, strong stubborn man lasted 6 weeks. My wife was at her parent’s house taking care of them. I was solo-parenting back at home. Flash forward a couple of months and they have the memorial for him. Next week we find out my wife had cancer. Flash forward to two surgeries. Move forward again and radiation treatment (which ended today).
I have not put much effort into any of my fantasy leagues. But I am going to try to pull off two wins in the next two weeks. We shall see.

Sometimes it’s all about hanging around until the end…getting hot at the right time…no one remembers those teams that started out hot, then fizzled at the end…
You’ve been through it lately. You’re in our thoughts!

I am tired man. Haven’t felt old until recently.
That kind of stress (on top of raising active teenagers) will accelerate aging for sure…I like to think my love for childish things like comic books, toys, cartoons helps keep me young…or at least slows/counters that process somewhat mentally at least.
