The Rad Dynasty: 2024 Season: Week Eleven Recap

Recap. Yay. I'm completely drained of energy, so this is going to be the quickest recap ever.

Player of the week: Jared Goff. 42.58 points. My Team wins.

My Team (5-6) 167.33 vs Bluth Company 125.78 (1-10)

My Team continues to play well, led by Jared Goff. Playoffs look like a longshot but who knows they have been very good lately. Bluth Company is not having a good season.

BDBs Jet Setters (3-8) 132.33 vs Teflon Don (5-6) 108.59

This was a giant setback for Teflon Don. They needed this game. They basically have to win out to make the postseason at this point. On the BDB side of things it was a relatively meaningless win in what has been a lost season for this team.

Fergalicious (9-2) 148.05 vs Tbone's Terrific Team (4-7) 120.37

This game went pretty much how we expected, with Fergalicious coming out on top. They needed this win because Dynastic Dan lost. So they're now tied for first again.

TDs or Bust (7-4) 173.68 vs The Killing Fields (3-8) 87.64

Another game that went just about as expected. The Killing Fields sucks and its manager is in danger of getting replaced next year. TDs or Bust stays alive in the playoff hunt. It's going to be a battle between them/ned/Alice for the last two playoff spots the rest of the year. Or even Fergalicious and Dynastic Dan if they hit a skid.

Show me the TDs (5-6) 150.76 vs Dynastic Dan (9-2) 143.23

This was a must-win for Show me the TDs. Even with the win, they are going to need a small miracle to make the playoffs. Dynastic Dan stays in first place due to tiebreakers with Fergalicious. I can't help but worry however that my team is going to completely fall apart and miss the playoffs in the last few weeks of the season. 1-10 Bluth will probably be favored against me in week 12, because 70% of my team is on bye.

Alice in Horns (8-3) 171.10 vs ned's rollers (7-4) 135.14

This was a crucial matchup between two teams that had been tied at 7-3. Alice ends up with the surprisingly big win. That's now two in a row that ned has lost, and he hasn't looked particularly good in either game. Is this the first ever cracks forming in the ned empire? Alice now holds sole possession of third playoff and has a pretty favorable schedule the rest of the season.

---

The standings will be posted below. This is a prime time to remind everyone that head to head matchups determine two-way ties. So for example, look at TDs or Bust and ned tied at 7-4. Yahoo shows Perry ahead because of points scored. In reality, ned is actually ahead because he won their head to head matchup earlier in the year. It was the only time these teams will meet this year, so that means ned holds the tiebreaker for the rest of the season. If TDs or Bust and ned tie at the end of the year, ned wins that tiebreaker. If there is a three way tie between those teams and, say, Alice - then the tiebreaker would be determined by points.

This tie breaking method also effects the two 3-8 teams. Yahoo has BDB ahead in the standings because of points. But The Killing Fields won the season series against BDB, so they actually hold the tiebreaker and would be in 10th right now. This, in a way, is disadvantageous to TKF because neither team is making the playoffs, and now BDB will get the higher draft pick if they finish tied in the standings. But remember, that tiebreaker goes out the window if three or more teams finish tied. Then, it is points.

I hope that makes sense.

Next week should be interesting in the Rad Dynasty. All the good teams play bad teams. It's just a matter if seeing if the good teams can hold off any upsets. Upsets could really shake up the playoff bracket at this point in the season. Personally, I am worried about losing to Bluth. I think that is the most realistic upset this week. We'll see.
