I can't even put to words what happened in last night's Chiefs vs Rams game. It kinda sucks to not be able to FULLY enjoy it just because of the fantasy implications but it was still an entertaining game to watch. Not only critical for the real teams involved, but super critical for the league as we're down to the last couple of weeks of the regular season. This is shaping up to be one the tightest race we've had in a good long while as technically not one person has clinched a playoff spot after Week 11. In fact, in my opinion seeds #2-#6 are all wide open and so many things could happen that trying to predict who's going to be in could lead to insanity, Here's what happen on what was a crazy, unpredictable Week 11

Week 11 Notes: Man...so this is what is soooooo maddening about team. No consistency whatsoever. Yes I won...Yes I scored the most points in the league for the 2nd time out of 3 weeks (with a loss sandwiched in between) but my team can never do it for more than a week at a time. They are obviously CAPABLE of it...they just don't. Regardless, this was a huge critical win aided by Eugene missing two of his top receivers (A.J. Green and Marvin Jones) and my team as a whole for the most part going off with T.Y. Hilton showing why you keep playing him despite weeks of unremarkable games. It's funny that I have no trust in my team whatsoever and never feel like I should be favored but if looked at this roster and it WASN'T mine..I'd be scared to face it. I'm sure people in the league would love me to not make the playoffs and I don't blame them one bit. I do have a good team..when they get it together it's damn near unbeatable. It wasn't just the win that has me happy, it's the points. A big week like that puts in the thick of the points race as well..as a fallback in case I drop a game or even lose out. I just gotta keep up points, as I'm only 11 pts from the 2nd most points in the league. To say next week's matchup vs Matt is huge is a GIGANTIC UNDERSTATEMENT. It's more than huge...it's basically a playoff game within the regular season. A win against Matt, increases my chances to make the playoffs that much more, while a win for Matt basically cements his playoff spot officially. For Eugene, it's been a rough couple of weeks. Points are keeping him a 4th seed, but he too has a critical matchup against Kenny which at the end of the day could drop Eugene to the brink of elimination. The good news is, he should at the very least be getting A.J. Green back, he's going to need as many fully healthy bodies as possible to take Kenny's deep team. So let's go to the thrilling upset Matt pulled which culminated last night when once again Patrick Mahomes managed to bail Matt out and give Matt a HUGE win against Leland's team who was on a 7 game winning streak. This matchup was literally decided at the very end and despite a final Mahomes pick, Matt won by a little over a point. Mahomes has been the catalyst of Matt's success..and in a matchup where Matt's playoff hopes are still up in the air he once again came up huge. Matt did suffer a bit of bad news as Kerryon Johnson suffered an injury that will at least keep him for next week. That, combined with Patrick Mahomes on bye (thank the lord) is a little worrisome for Matt, but he still has a pretty strong group of guys and I think they still can overcome that against me. For Leland, disappointing, but not really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. It delays the inevitable playoff clinch by 1 week, but he still has a large points lead with 2 weeks left in the season. He also gets Albert's team left and that should be the week he finally clinches. Kenny vs Drew was a big disappointment as after hyping Drew's team last week, his team came crashing down in a brutal loss. Aaron Jones started the week awesome, and Drew Brees did his part, but that was literally it. This is how stupid fantasy football is. In a game where there was 105 points scored, not only did Todd Gurley NOT score a TD, he literally has his worst game of the season by FAR. Unbelievable...how that happens WHO knows, but he saved his worst for the WORST time and Dalvin Cook got shut down as well. The loss is bad, but the low scoring is even WORSE..basically a death knell for Drew's playoff chances now. Kenny's team keeps cruising by winning and scoring high points, and he's now 2nd in points scored and has a ton of momentum. Points might not end mattering if Kenny ends up running the table though the schedule remains tough, with 2 playoff caliber teams left. Kenny gets Eugene next week in yet another HUGE matchup for the week, while Drew tries to keep his season on life support against another team fighting for their playoff life, Mike. Mike came THISCLOSE to blowing a huge lead against Mark last night, as Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce did their best to bring Mark back, but fell just a bit short. Mark only lost by 2.3 points and it's a HUGE loss playoff wise as he could've clinched a playoff spot this week. Instead, he's with the rest of us..still fighting and there's a chance he might miss the playoffs completely. On paper, he's facing the worst team next week in Ryan, but Ryan's team is not THAT bad and the fact that Mark has 3 Chiefs on bye is worrisome as well. It wont be a walk in the park win, and if he loses, there should be major worry having to rely in beating Drew in Week 13. For Mike, his team was left for dead but they responded in a MAJOR way. His points puts him back in the thick of things for the points race, and also keeps him alive record wise. Mike's got a deep solid team and he takes on Drew next. One of them will have their playoff hopes officially ended next week. Albert's disappointing season continues as he BARELY beats Alex and his super awful roster. There was a point on Sunday where I really thought Alex was going to do it yet again and win with like 65 fucking points. It's a win, but ugh. The points did Albert no favors but hey, if it keeps ya technically alive, it's better than being officially done. Stefon Diggs bailed Albert out. For Alex, there's nothing to say, this is what his team is. A low scoring group of Wild Card plays that somehow manages to survive because teams can't score on him. The only silver lining is his favorable schedule, but he now has to win out. Albert still has a sliver of hope, but he faces Leland next, who's coming off a bad loss. I fully expect Leland to bounce back. And finally in the irrelevant bowl, Dad got blowout of the week against Ryan. The only thing I'll say is, not keeping Devante Adams will be the biggest "what if" of the season for Dad. I really believe had he kept him over Devonta Freeman, Dad would be in the thick of the playoff race.
