Week 11 Results: The Tension Mounts

Man what a Week 11 THIS WAS. Out of the 6 matchups..5 were decided by 10 or less points..4 of those..4.5 OR LESS. It was crazy and YES as you will see in the results...we had a HUGE upset this week...told ya it would happen. Onto the results.

Shock The Monkey (3-8)           66
Arturo's Beans (2-9)                   64

Worst Record in the league..9 losses in a row....lost to Mark...that covers THIS fucking GARBAGE.

YOU GET NO MVP

NEXT!!!! (3-8)              96
Winter Is Here (6-5)     93.5

Oh this is a bad loss. I said someone one week was going to fall to one of the bottom dwellers and that unfortunate team was Alex's. This is a brutal loss to what was a 2-8 team. The stars aligned for Leland's squad this week led by Mike Evans and his 209 receiving yard, 2 TD Performance. Just wow, that guy's been on a tear lately. Add a solid Cam Newton game and good Reuben Randle game and really that's kinda all the damage Leland needed for the upset win. For Alex...just a letdown although he did put up 93.5 points. Still, Drew Brees continues to be "good", just not Fantasy Elite great. Alex's receivers came up really small only combining 16 points. Marshawn Lynch and Mark Ingram were decent but a far cry of what they had been the last couple of weeks. Gronk gave Alex a sliver a chance when he scored his TD late in the 4th quarter of the Pats-Colts game Sunday Night and Eddie Lacy continued to prove to a be a valuable pick up as he had 114 total yards and a rushing and receiving TD. Alex was up 2.5 points and Leland still had Justin Hunter. Hunter didn't do much..he was held to a catch until the 3rd quarter when he caught a 40 yarder to seal the deal. Shitty way to lose. Alex's schedule is actually kinda hard and he has Eugene and Dad left on the horizon. I have a feeling it will come down to Dad and Alex in the last week of the season for that final playoff spot. As for Leland..well he did his job..now he can just beat a shitty ass team in me next week for the hell of it.

Game MVP
Mike Evans (Next!!!!)
7 Receptions, 209 Receiving Yards, 2 Receiving TD's, 35.5 Points
 
Rocket Man (6-5)                 99.5
JTG's Warehouse (6-5)       78.5

Eugene gets a much needed win to save his playoff hopes and push him back into playoff contention. Adding Aaron Rodgers seemed to work just fine as he put another 341 passing yard ,3 passing TD, 28 point performance. I really believed the team that added Aaron Rodgers would become an immediate threat to Mayra, and this proved it. Jeremy Maclin rebounded nicely (BOUNCE BACK) with a 93 yard 1 TD performance. Randall Cobb continues his amazing season with 10 catches for 129 yards. Eugene wins with Calvin and Julio Jones being surprisingly quiet (which has been a problem for Julio the past few weeks...he has to turn it around...right?!). He also didn't get much from this rest of his squad as nobody else put up more than 8 points. It's still an encouraging sign, Eugene can rack up nearly 100 points and have more than half his team underperform. For Drew..well he lost Julius Thomas to an early ankle injury (doesn't look like it'll be serious) but he got basically nothing from anyone outside of Demaryius Thomas and Kelvin Benjamin. Drew's QB situation continues to suck. RGIII and Cutler are just to unreliable and unpredictable. Total crapshoot there. Also Drew won't be getting Adrian Peterson back this season, so there's another blow to his squad. Believe it or not, it's not must win for Drew..he still gets an easy win the last week of the season against Kenny. 7 wins and his points should be enough but it would be nice to get a buffer win against my Dad next week. Eugene has another tough matchup with Alex which will be critical in the playoff race.

Game MVP
Aaron Rodgers (Rocket Man)
341 Passing Yards, 3 Passing TD's, 32 Rushing Yards, 28 Points
 

Bigger Balls (11-0)              101.5
The Bad Robofies (6-5)         91.5

SO....FUCKING.....CLOSE. I seriously thought Dad had this and the Houdini was gonna work his magic yet AGAIN. This despite no Gio Bernard, and TERRIBLE performances from Jimmy Graham, Mohammad Sanu, and Terrence West. Still, despite that Brandon Marshall FINALLY proved his worth with a great game (90 Yards, 2 TD's) and Jordan Matthews was an excellent start with 107 yards and a TD. Another huge letdown was Tom Brady getting screwed by the Patriots running game. Jonas Gray scored 4 TD's, which hurt Brady's passing stats. He only had a little over 250 yards and 2 TD's but threw 2 picks as well. Joique Bell and Alfred Morris had great PPR games as well and Dad went into to Monday Night with what I thought was a comfortable 38.5 point lead even though Mayra still had Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. 39 points to win is still a ton of points so I thought Dad was going to do the unthinkable...beat the Queen. With no Dez, Mayra got bad performances from Mike Wallace, Larry Fitzgerald, Antonio Gates, and Ahmad Bradshaw (who ended up breaking his ankle and is done for the year). Matt Forte was still his usual self, with 175 total yards and Andrew Luck had another 300 yard, 2 TD game. It all came down to Brown and Bell and they DELIVERED big time, especially Bell who had 204 rushing yards and a TD. Antonio Brown added 91 and a score and that was enough to narrowly escape Dad and pick up a 10 point win. Just unbelievable. The loss is HUGE for Dad as it really hampers his playoff run. He'll basically need to run the table to get in it seems like and that means beating Drew and Alex in the last two games. It's gonna be tough, but hey if Dad can give Mayra a run for her money, no doubt he can do it against those two. For Mayra, she wraps up the #1 seed and bye (Albert can tie record wise, but Mayra has way more points, so it's over) so basically she can just chill for 3 weeks and watch how things play out. She also solved her Bradshaw problem by trading for Mike Evans. She's got a laugher of a matchup next week against Kenny, while Dad takes on Drew in a super important matchup.

Game MVP
Le'Veon Bell (Bigger Balls)
204 Rushing Yards, 1 Rushing TD, 2 receptions, 18 receiving yards, 28 Points (Down 38.5 points Monday Night)
 
 
Hoosier Daddy (4-7)            79
Woe Is Me (3-8)                   74.5

Ryan Beat Kenny

Game MVP
Josh McCown (Hoosier Daddy) (Because it's fucking funny he led Ryan's team in scoring) 
288 Passing Yards, 2 Passing TD's, 19 Points
 

Dr. Light's Robots (7-4)              105.5
Channel 4 News Team (8-2)       102

This was wayyyyyy closer than it should've been as Matt was only down 7 points going into Monday night, but Big Ben struggled and it wouldn't have been for a late TD in the 4th to Antonio Brown...Matt would've lost by half a point. Instead, Matt has the biggest advantage of everyone as he's the only 7 win team and his rest of schedule is so lax, that Matt is even in the bye #2 discussion because if he wins out and Albert loses to at least Mayra, it'll come down to points. Matt was lead by the Jamaal Charles/Jordy Nelson combo per usual. Charles put up a ridiculous 159 rushing yards and 2 rushing TD's (he did fumble..but hey cut the guy a break, he scored 27 points). Jordy Nelson put up 109 and a score and Emmmanuel Sanders put up 102 and a score,but the scary thing was Sanders got concussed. He's on concussion protocol and could miss again. Matt can afford him to miss a game or two with the opponents he has...but he needs him for the playoffs for sure. Larry Donnell added 54 and a score, while Odell Beckham put up a nice yardage game with 93 yards. Matt's still having QB problems despite trading for Ben Roethlisberger. I don't think this is the Big Ben he was hoping for. For Albert it was at least FINALLY nice to see Alshon Jeffrey (135 and a score) and A.J. Green (127 and a score) show up but when they finally do..Peyton Manning decides to have his worst fantasy game of the season...against the Rams no less. He still put up nearly 400 passing yards but only had a TD and two picks. Alfred Blue was a great fill in with 156 rushing yards and if Arian Foster misses anymore time, Blue looked like a more than adequate fill in. If Jeffrey and Green can get back to this level on a consistant basis...Albert's going to be fine. He's got Ryan next week in what should be an easy win. Matt's got Mark in what should be an even easier win.

Game MVP
Jamaal Charles (Dr. Light's Robots)
159 Rushing Yards, 2 Rushing TD's, 3 receptions, 32 receiving yards, 1 fumble lost, 27 points
