Week twelve was an interesting week. It was a week where it was mainly teams with a winning record vs teams with a losing record. I mentioned last week that this would be an interesting week if there were upsets. And would you look at it - there were.
The player of the week had a lot to do with one of the bigger upsets. He scored 44.2 fantasy points for BDB's team with his 302 total yards and 3 touchdown performance. This giant game helped propel BDB to the win over heavily favored ned.
BDB's Jet Setters (4-8) 177.22 vs ned's rollers (7-5) 130.81
Ned has been tough this year and came into this matchup favored against BDB, who has not been great this season. But Saquon's big performance led BDB to the blowout win. This loss drops ned to 5th place - on the outside of the playoffs looking in. This was a giant game and an absolute must win for ned. And honestly I thought coming in that he had it. But the playoff landscape has been shaken up with this one, big time.
Bluth Company (2-10) 150.08 vs Dynastic Dan (9-3) 120.73
I totally called this. I've been worried about this game for a couple weeks now. Almost my entire team was on bye and I ended up starting guys I never would have started otherwise. I thought I still might be able to pull it off, but alas it was not meant to be.
An improbable last place vs first place win. Bluth wins his second game of the year, but remains in last place. Please bring this same energy next week against TDs or Bust, mkay? Luckily, the loss does not drop me out of first place, as Fergalicious also lost. Dynastic Dan looks to get back on track against reeling TBone in week 13.
Teflon Don (6-6) 141.85 vs Fergalicious (9-3) 117.98
Our third big upset looms large, as my brother Chris does me a big solid and knocks out Fergalicious. This loss drops Fergalicious into a three way tie for first with Dynastic Dan and Alice. Fergalicious has a fairly favorable rest of their schedule, so we'll see if they can hang on the rest of the way. TDs or Bust is right behind at 8-4 and then ned at 7-5. He can't afford to lose anymore games.
Teflon Don's game next week against 6-6 show me the TDs is a big one. The loser is pretty much out of the playoff hunt.
Alice in Horns (9-3) 138.82 vs The Killing Fields (3-9) 90.01
Alice rolls to an easy win as The Killing Fields once again gives a terrible effort in yet another loss. Anyone with the Killing Fields on their schedule immediately gets an easy win, it seems. This is a team that is in major need of a rehaul next season.
Alice, technically in third, is tied with Dynastic Dan and Fergalicious at 9-3. She should be favored to win her final three games of the season. But as we know, anything can happen in fantasy football. I'm betting she makes the playoffs though. To me she is the biggest lock.
TDs or Bust (8-4) 155.27 vs My Team (5-7) 141.41
The Cinderella story of My Team ends here, as any slim chance to make the playoffs has now vanished completely. Hats off to this team though, as it always gives a heck of a battle. This is a team that can easily turn things around in 2025 with some savvy draft picks.
TDs or Bust wins a pretty close game and moves into the 4th playoff spot (for now) ahead of ned's rollers.
Show me the TDs (6-6) 166.78 vs TBone's Terrific Team 4-8 (75.10)
Another terrible performance from TBone's team, as this game was not competitive. It is hard to believe TBone started out the year 4-1. This is now the team's 7th consecutive loss.
Show me the TDs keeps their slim hopes alive with this big win. It was about time they got an easy victory, as this team seems to catch all the bad breaks. They are a high scoring team and could easily have 7 or 8 wins if things had gone a little differently this year.
---
A new look at the standings! Things are as tight as can be at the top. Just three weeks in the season left, and there are five teams fighting for four spots. I'm really curious what is going to happen. Is ned in trouble? Will one of the top teams have a late season collapse? Show me the TDs and Teflon Don are barely hanging on at 6-6. It would take multiple teams collapsing for them to have a chance. The rest of the teams can start planning for next year.
