Week 11 Recap

Hi folks,

It is Thanksgiving week and I don’t feel like doing any real work, so how about an honest-to-goodness recap of Week 11?  I know, crazy, right?  Let’s do this thing…

117.63 | Member At Large | 6-5-0 | 4th  
113.15 | Spoonman |6-5-0 | 3rd  
Sanuuuuuuuuu!  Brad’s insolence predictably came back to bite him in the butt last night.  His jinx apparently was stronger than my curse.   But really, I got the much needed “W,” when all of my players except for kicker and defense kinda sorta showed up for a change.  Sanu, Doctson, Jamaal Williams, T. Kroft (Tyler?  I don’t even know!), Dion Lewis – waiver wire dudes, all of them.  I can’t keep doing this shit forever, but I’m gonna keep trying… Meanwhile, Brad, myself, and Steve are in a virtual three way tie right now, with Brad slightly ahead of me on points, and me barely ahead of Steve on points.  That seems somehow familiar…. Where have I seen that ordering before?...

117.70 | The Paterfamilias | 5-6-0 | 8th
87.12 | Alternative Facts | 8-3-0 | 1st
Robby, in a preview of coming distractions, takes his first place in the standings and shits the bed.  He would have been better off starting Ryan Tannehill and Nat Moore instead of Dak Prescott and Jason Witten.   Except for Jarvis Landry, his pass catchers really let him down.  But Robby is still solid for the playoffs - now is the time when he should start looking at matchups for week 15 and planning his waiver wire strategy around round 1.  He should look at the defenses his players are going up against that week, check for any upgrades on Defense or Flex, pay attention to injuries, contingency plan with appropriate handcuffs for his best players, and leverage his #2 waiver wire priority accordingly.  I have full confidence that Robby will be doing all of those things and more in order to give him the best chance possible of winning the Chicken Bone Cup this year.   Godspeed Robby.  Godspeed!

138.25 |Running to Mercury | 4-7-0 | 9th
139.58 |2Chickens2Paralyze | 6-5-0 | 5th
Mike Cole gave it a run last night, but his Seattle players (like Seattle) didn’t quite have enough in the tank to complete the comeback.  That’s probably a wrap on the season for him, falling to 4-7 and 9th place.  But he’s not out of the running for Auction Bitch! … Meanwhile, Steve is hanging around, hanging around.   His Patriots are firing on all cylinders, and he’s got just enough other useful pieces to be dangerous. However, right now, he is simultaneously overthinking and under-thinking his lineup this week.  That’s impressive! Not!  He should just stick to his day job of lawyering, and night job of playing rhythm guitar in his friend’s cover band. 

98.23 | BlowMeErtz | 3-8-0 | 10th
180.25 |Game of Thongs |7-4-0 | 2nd
Holy crap Rich!  Try leaving some points for the rest of us!  While still 15 points off the all-time weekly total of 195, that’s a huge ass number to put up!  Like Travis’s mom-level huge ass!   Rich is in 2nd place all by his lonesome, and with his league-leading total points, he’s in pretty good shape for the playoffs too.   On the flip side, this was just another of a series of embarrassments for Travis this season.  What’s sad is he’s been really trying too…

133.53 | Bacon of Darkness | 5-6-0 | 6th
120.08 | Sausage AuctionBitch | 5-6-0 | 7th
Now we come to sleeper territory.  What a difference a week makes.  Maine ekes out a big win over Sean and is lurking in the shadows, ready to make his move up the standings the next few weeks.  He’s got Kenan Allen going nuts along with his always stellar running backs.  And with Robert Woods’ injury, Cooper Kupp is going to get more targets.  And Jimmy Graham might be the best Tight End down the stretch.  If Maine can only figure out the QB situation, he’s got a real shot here.  .. Humorous aside though, Tyrod Taylor, who was benched and didn’t even start STILL scored 3 times as many fantasy points as Eli Manning.  When will people ever learn to stop playing Eli….  Oh yeah, and Sean, yadda yadda bald, yadda yadda no chance…yadda yadda bouncy house…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Gobble motherfucking gobble!!  Enjoy your family, food, and football.

Love, peace, and turkey grease,
