Week 14 Nonsense

Hey there folks,

We're in the dog days of the season, with the playoff spots all secure and not nearly enough fodder for a recap.  But let's run through some news and notes nonsense from around the league...

  • This season's standings are more lopsided than Robby's breasts.  6 out of the 10 teams are going to finish with losing records.  To be clear, that's 6 of you who are losing losers.
  • Sean and Travis scored 171 and 183 points respectively last week.  Leave something in the tank for the playoffs guys.  Don't be like Rich on prom night and shoot your wad early.
  • In the "be careful what you wish for" department, I'm sure that Sean, Travis, and me are all still playing for that #1 seed in the hopes of playing Brad in the first round.   As things stand now, Sean and Brad may play each other two times in a row, as they face off in Week 15.  Are they going to rest their starters or go with a vanilla lineup?  Who knows!?  
  • Quick tangent...what's the most vanilla lineup you could have in fantasy?  (And by vanilla, I mean white and average.)  Here's my suggestion:
    • QB - Kirk Cousins
    • RB - Rex Burkhead
    • RB - The ghost of Danny Woodhead
    • WR - Danny Amendola
    • WR - Adam Humphries
    • WR - Cole Beasley
    • Flex - Scotty Miller  (EDIT: swap in Hunter Renfrow)
    • TE - Jack Doyle
    • K - Robbie Gould
    • DEF - Philadelphia Eagles 
  • What are the odds that this year's championship will be decided by which team has less COVID?  Seems like that's how things are headed with this whole Decepticon variant.  
  • And if you think Week 15 doesn't matter, there are 5 teams vying for 4 spots in the illustrious Jean Shorts Tourney!  Let's break down the scenarios....
    • The winner of Maine and MFrank is in.  Unless they totally screw the pooch, the loser is in good shape as well on total points.
    • So Robby is chasing Brother Rappaport and actual Rappaport.  He has the same record as them, but is over 100 points behind them.  So he'll need to win and hope that one of them loses to make it in.  
    • In order for Rich to make it, he'll need at least 2 of the 5 teams ahead of him to die in a horrific sex accident.  #strobby69
