Inaugural High Stakes League update 12
What a rough week for fantasy football. Heading into the second week of the playoffs things are only getting worse. The Covid IR is in full effect right now, not to mention actual injuries on top of it, and depth is the name of the game in ’21.
As we look at last week’s games, and what brought to our match ups this week, those seeds really played a big role in which teams advanced. The good news (if you are a spectator) is that both matches were extremely close. The match between the #4 seed and the #5 seed was decided by only four points at 141-137. #4 seed Wendell Takeover Project advances over Just Dodge, and now we have to wonder if the midseason name change affected Just Dodge in the end.
In the battle between the #3 seed and the #6 seed, the match was decided by only seven points. “The Don” Piccolo continues to face the right team each week to get a win despite putting up subpar point totals. 107-100 was the final and, clearly, if “the Don” faced either of the two other teams, his season would be over. I’ll have to check with “the Don” to see what he uses each week as a sacrificial lamb to the Fantasy Gods. Because, it’s working.
So, we advance another week and here we are with the top four seeds all facing each other. The big dogs, XFL Stars, will match up against Wendell and Y Town squares off against “The Don.” It’s time to place those bets. Who will make it to the finals? Whichever teams do, you know they will be handicapped by Covid IR and a mountain of injuries that have piled up this season. Finding and implementing players you can stream for one week is an integral part of fantasy football success and these teams are getting their ability to assess these players, and their situations, tested well.
It’s a quick update this week for me as I spend time with family for the holidays. I hope all of you were able to do the same, or enjoy the holiday season in the best way possible. Good luck to all the teams still contending for a title.
See you next week.
