Let's do a writeup. A tale of playoff spot dogfights and two teams running through EVERYONE right now... - The Fightin Eagles vs Jumping into the Shark: A very big win for my team looking into next week. A very balanced effort and damn near my best overall running back performance combined in weeks. Picking up Devonta Freeman and trading for Clyde Edwards-Helaire has paid dividends. Shark held strong with me for awhile thanks to Myles Gaskin and surprise Waiver pickup Jarvis Landry... but the late push by Tyreek Hill and CEH put it to bed for me. At 7-4 my team is 3rd in the League! The highest I've ever been! With Hill and CEH on late bye however... a win vs Edge of Insanity will not be easy. While Jumping into the Shark sit at 1-10... with 10 straight losses. They will need a lot of help to pull off the upset of the year against The Showstoppas! - The Hurst Business vs Edge of Insanity: This wasn't even fair. It just wasn't. It's not like Hurts Business even had a bad week... their namesake scored 30 points this week! They just faced Edge of Insanity. A team that has won five straight and run a train through this FANtasy league of late. Jonathan Taylor scored 50 POINTS by HIMSELF. Edge racked up over 154 point and was basically in autopilot very early into this contest... it didn't even matter that Russel Wilson sucked! At 3-8... Hurts Business has a season hanging on by a thread going into a Pumpkin Spice Mafia showdown. Edge however is sitting pretty in second place at 8-3... and will look to kill me and my team next behind his lord and savior Taylor - The Groose Football Team vs The Showstoppas: Groose had impressive showings from Aaron Rodgers who massively bounced back with 33 points and Travis Kelce... but the rest of the team underperforming is what inevitably did them in to FAN's first place team and also winners of five straight. The Showstoppas roared back with late games and Tom Brady and Chris Godwin's power trip. Doesn't hurt to have Joe Mixon and James Connor either... and Groose just couldn't overcome it. The Showstoppas are 9-2 and will be the first team to double digits if they pass The Sharks. Groose at 6-5 suddenly finds themselves in danger... Bob's Team looms ahead in what will be a crucial match for both teams. - Hakuna Matata! vs Return of the Jazz: Hakuna Matata has had the second worst luck in the league lately. That did not change despite this being an UGLY game. Jazz didn't dominate but did ENOUGH to put this away at the barn burning score of 72.34 to 64.96. In a contest where both quarterbacks in Prescott and Fields combined for SEVEN POINTS... the deciding factor was inevitably Demented leaving Elijah Mitchell and his 25 fantasy points on the bench for fellow Jet Corey Davis and his... five points. The deciding win came in the last game of the week and the return of Saquon Barkley... as underwhelming as his 8 points were? They were enough. Both teams come out of this at 5-6... Jazz riding momentum is looking to secure a playoff spot and will need to beat Sexy Billy to do it. Demented will look to end a horrific four game losing streak at he worst possible time... and they will need to beat The Fresh Princes to do so! - The Fresh Princes of Bel Air vs Daley's Swell Winners: A team who has seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows... Daley's Swell Winners had been anything but lately! Until this week! Looking like the Henry lead Daley of old... a completely well balanced attack behind the 18 points each of McLaurin and Mike Williams (Every player but Burrow and the Defense over 10 points!) was able to propel past The Fresh Princes and end their winning streak. The game was decided on Lamar Jackson's last second scratch and Fresh Princes being unable to swap them. Which is a shame... but trying to overcome the combined seven points from Drake/Uzomah/Higgins would also be impossible this week. Fresh Princes can get back on track against Demented in a pivotal playoff race match. Daley will take their own 6-5 record into a showdown with the Comfywolves. - GYN Comfywolves vs Pumpkin Spice Mafia: The Comfywolves don't wanna talk about it ok? I wouldn't either after only scoring 59 points... It doesn't get much worse... with no Aaron Jones (Hated that guy remember?) the last thing needed was a GOOSE EGG from Carlos Hyde... but it was had. The week started out great with 16 points from NICK FOLK... who would unfortunately be the highest scorer on the team. Pumpkin Spice didn't need to do much this week... but decided to score 132 points anyway. Why yes... they did in fact do that with Courtland Sutton left on the roster and in a bye week! Herbert/Ekeler/Cook/Ertz had some of their best games if not THE best games of their seasons this week. A season saving win for Pumpkin Spice... they sit at 4-7 with work to do. Their boom or bust team attitude which has lead to a lot of points but not a lot of wins yet takes them into a match with The Hurts Business while the Comfywolves have to try and save their season at their own 4-7 against Daley's Swell Winners... - Anal Bleeding Bob vs Sexy Billy: Bob has flown under the radar this season. They aren't a flashy team... they just are a consistent one. That consistency has lead to yet another win against Sexy Billy. A CLOSE game decided by 12 points... A zero spot by the kicker Koo and NEGATIVE TWO points by the Chargers Defense did Billy in. This hurts all the more considering Bob scored 101 points with two players scoring ZERO POINTS. Gainwell was a last minute inactive scratch and Dan Arnold simply did nothing this week for Jacksonville which shocked everyone (I was there last week with Gesicki man I get it). When Justin Jefferson scores 33... it really helps lift a teams shortcomings! Despite 25 from Cousins (Offset by Jefferson) and 21 from CMC... Billy falls to 6-5 and now is in a crucial matchup against Return of the Jazz... while at 7-4... Bob also faces a tough matchup in Groose for pivotal playoff standing. - While only 8 of the 14 teams now only have winning records... 12 teams in the league still have a very realistic shot at the playoffs. Thanksgiving Week will be Feast or Famine for multiple teams in very short player weeks. - Pray for me vs Edge of Insanity please? I'm gonna see Jonathan Taylor in my nightmares I just know it! I'll take Aaron Jones over this!! Lemme just say I've thoroughly enjoyed these writeups. I got a new job right before the season started (work-at-home) so I'm BURNT on using a computer by the time I'm off for the day. I've always wanted to do something like this but then I sit down to do it and just go "....blech". Just wanted to show my appreciation for them.

I was happy to be included in FANtasy Football as well so doing these is fun to make it feel more like an actual season as well! I like writing so it's no big deal to me I guess lol. I'm really glad you and everyone else seem to like em! Makes it all the more worth it to do!

I'd much rather have something that comes from the heart And yes I feel bad writing when a team absolutely flames out but... nature of the beast. I'll probably be writing a sad post by the weeks end at the rate your team is firing

Every single time I try and stream a defense it blows up in my face lol I’m on the fence about streaming Houston against NY after NO shat the bed against Philly. But I think I’m going to take a deep breath, never rely on Houston and take whatever NO can give.

Love getting in those situations that are so obscenely ridiculous and so unbelievably against my favor that I consider quitting again lmfao
Seriously this shit always happens to me. It's why I quit for years. An Allen to Knox TD wiped out by a penalty then Allen throws another pick. Like why do I f***ing bother getting excited?

Telling you all right now that Allen/Knox second TD connection turning into an Allen pick because of a dumbass flag is how I lose Fantasy this week.
I had a shot but I feel like that was just the football gods getting my hopes up just to bash me over the head with a shovel lol

Starting Tony Jones Jr was a mistake that might bite me in the ass... but everyone else did their jobs today
It is all gonna come down to if Edge's team wants to perform like it usually does... and if the rest of my starters deliver.

Darren Waller has a bone bruise so it looks like holding firm on my Logan Thomas asset will pay off.

GG to Edge. I'm not winning.
It was nice of my team to give me enough false hope to think I could. But nah. Just another reminder of why I quit Fantasy Football for years. It never shakes my way when I need it
Also f*** Jaylen Waddle to the highest degree. Like f*** ALL of this at this point lol.

Thank goodness for Leonard Fournette. The man picked as an afterthought flier who might lose his job at any moment to RoJo. My MVP.
