Elite Dynasty League Week 11 Recap

Week 11 Recap

Welcome back for another week of match up recaps. This week gave a great glimpse into playoffs.

Stat of the Week: 6. There are 6 teams left trying for the remaining 4 playoff spots. (Shout out to Footsteps Falco and Zaylor Swift for clinching playoff spots).

Week 11 Match Up Summaries

Zaylor Swift (8-2) vs The Myth Of Kojac (3-5)

Josh v Kojac.jpg

Zaylor Swift wins 144.76 – 88.12!

Summary:

It only took eleven weeks but Zaylor Swift‘s first pick of the draft, ‘Samaje Pe-runsalloverthedefense’ Perine finally had his breakout week. Over 100 yards on the ground and a TD, and things only are looking up now that Chris Thompson is out for the season with a broken leg.  This was a big win for confidence as it proved Zaylor Swift can still turn in a respectable score even with Zeke Elliot suspended. Big match up next week with Brunch Wit Da Funch around the corner.

It’s been a rough road for The Myth Of Kojac. It has to be said that the Jets were on bye this week and that’s a huge blow for Kojac’s team. However, this was a disappoint by the entire back half of the roster. Both flex’s, Kicker, Team Defense and two IDP’s combined for an awful 17.40. Can’t have 6 players combined for under 20 points. As mentioned above, huge blow for the team moving forward with RB8 breaking his leg on a Cousins scramble to the outside. Kojac might just pretend this season is officially over already.

Spooky Garoppolo (1-9) vs Footsteps Falco (8-2)

Eric v Rogers.jpg

Footsteps Falco wins 112.70 – 94.30!

Summary:

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Spooky Garoppolo is an awful team. It’s got to be disheartening when your RB2 is a healthy scratch and can’t even get on the field for a team that uses a large RB by Committee approach. The bright side, he finally moved away from a goal line offense and only started 1 TE this week (David Njoku who scored 1.80)….. well maybe not, but still its progress! The true bright spot was Baltimore D putting up QB1 numbers yet again with a 26 spot. It is a shame they are wasted on such a pitiful franchise.

Footsteps Falco got it’s most dumpy win of the season. This was a huge disappointment for division leader and championship favorite. It’s hard to see Dak ever performing this poorly again, but this is not what you want to see heading into playoffs. However, Larry Fitzgerald has to be a robot. He’s an ageless wonder and put up almost 20 points against the Texans. Congrats on the clinched playoff spot but the rest of the team will need to pick it up for the upcoming playoffs.

Agent Lee (7-3) vs Mixon Administration (5-5)

 Fam v Weyer

Mixon Administration wins 128.50 – 126.40!

Summary:

Ouch. Is that blood? This was a near fatal blow to Agent Lee‘s division hopes. Although it is technically possible they can still win the division, it is very unlikely (Black Breesus would need to lose both remaining games). This is starting to get concerning from Agent Lee who hasn’t turned in the best performances lately. Even more importantly, rookie sensation and crowd favorite JuJu Smith-Schuster might have picked up a hamstring injury. Doug Martin aka Douggy Fresh aka Muscle Hamster seems to have fallen out of favor in Tampa Bay but somehow DeAndre Hopkins is still putting in strong performances with Shitbag Savage (EDP Mr. Irrelevant) throwing to him. Agent Lee needs to pick it up for playoffs.

Whew. That was close! But Mixon Administration pulls out the victory and keeps his playoff hopes alive. This was looking bleak for most of the weekend but thankfully Matt Ryan put together a solid performance and earned the victory for the team. Melvin Gordon and Alex Collins turned in solid performances, and the team will need it with Aaron Jones out with an MCL injury for extended time. Next week’s match up could be win or go home with F a Podcast.

F a Podcast (6-4) vs Brunch Wit Da Funch (3-7)

 Itzler v Rob

Brunch Wit Da Funch wins 143.42 – 137.80!

Summary:

The slide continues. From division champ to out of the playoff picture within 2 weeks. This was a devastating blow to F a Podcast‘s redemption tour and playoff hopes. To make it worse, he has no one to blame but himself. This week was filled with awful starting lineup decisions as Tarik Cohen, Marvin Jones Jr, and Devantae Booker were left on the bench with 17.44, 16.50, and 13.70 points respectively. Instead he left in Kenyan Drake and Marquise Lee with a putrid 2.60 and 7.00 points. Gross Itzler.

Feel good win like you read about. Or dream crusher. Depends on how you look at it. But either way Brunch Wit Da Funch comes out with a win that doesn’t have much significance to his team in the long run. He’s way outside the playoff picture for this year but safe from the bottom of the leagues. Playing for pride at this point. And maybe hoping his players finish strong so they increase trade value to help build the team for next year.

Stacks Don’t Lie (5-5) vs The Mad Chadder (4-6)

 Ducc v Chad

Stacks Don’t Lie wins 180.92 – 115.50!

Summary:

Business is Boomin! Stacks Don’t Lie stepped on the throat of The Mad Chadder on Thursday night and never let up. Big Ben and Antonio Brown put up a combined over 70 points together. Yes 70! If you add Adam Theilen’s score, you have over 90 points. In other words the team average of last place Spooky Garoppolo. Ducc disappointed for most of the year but if he continues this run he could pull off a New York Giants type run from the 6 seed.

The Mad Chadder needs to stay far away from the lottery for now. He has no luck with opponents scoring this year and despite having a very respectable points scored total, he falls officially out of the playoff picture and looks towards next year. Kareem Hunt’s declining totals may be of a little worry with the possible return of Spencer Ware next year, but Chad has plenty to be proud of with the rebuild he has coordinated.  Side note, the league got a little sadder with Chad’s departure from NYC and podcast headquarters. Drinks were poured out accordingly.

Team Triforce (2-8) vs Black Breesus (7-3)

 Tiz v Add.jpg

Black Breesus wins 173.00 – 86.66!

Summary:

Just look to next year. Focus on this incoming class. For Team Triforce scouting and not drafting busts in the first round (*cough*RossPerrimanBoyd*cough*) in addition with the return of Dalvin Cook could line this team up for next year.  Devante Adams may have increased his trade value but what’s more concerning is Greg Zuerlein. Fantasy beast this year turning in a disappointing 1.00 point. Is it time to cut ties?!?!?!

So that’s what this team looks like when all the pieces come together. From 100 points last week to 170 points this week. Black Breesus has his RBs all come together as Lesean McCoy actually looked like an RB1 (probably smart to get him the ball when your QB is throwing 5 picks in the 1st half) and Jordan Howard was a workhorse for the Bears. If Julio could get back to top form, it’s not hard seeing how this team could hit a 200 point performance for playoffs. A huge match up with A Gurley Has No Name awaits next week.

A Gurley Has No Name (6-4) vs Long n’ Skinny 😉 (5-5)

 Greg v Rigg.jpg

A Gurley Has No Name wins 173.96 – 121.58!

Summary:

The last powerhouse performance (170+) of the week was turned in by A Gurley Has No Name. Despite getting awful scores out of his IDP’s, Keenan “My duuuuuuuuude” Allen decided to breakout and score a casual 34.30 and the trade for Mark Ingram continues to look like a strong championship decider move. In the two weeks he has been on his new fantasy team, he has scored an outstanding 57.30 points. If Greg wants to clinch playoffs he will need to go through Black Breesus next week.

Back to reality for Long n’ Skinny 😉 and his team. Despite Russell Wilson scoring a third of his team points and continuing to be the fantasy stud that he is, his look of opponents shitting the bed against him ran out. Leonard Fournette avoided injury for another week but is still not out of the woods as he didn’t look 100% and exited the game to tend to his ankle at one point and Robert Woods is out for a few weeks with a shoulder injury. However, it doesn’t matter much as this team is locked in the purgatory of being out of playoffs but above last place.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, I hope your holiday is filled with good food, better alcohol, and plenty of fantasy touchdowns*!

*Except for Brunch Wit Da Funch. I hope you score 0.
