Week 11......

 

Don't follow the path. Blaze the trail.

Gents. It's just me chuck this week as Ant is consumed by the Parentals this week. The nitty gritty is here we have this week 11, week 12, and week 13 before the top 5 playoff teams are set and stone. However, the seeding plays will matter in week 14 for teams 1-5. Here is a quick rundown of the playoffs and who has a shot at going and who is already there. In this order is also my power rankings for the week as well. Keep in mind I am throwing in all scenarios in a minimalist way.

1. Ryan - Ryan has clinched a playoff spot already with only 3 weeks left with week 14 being the 6th seed showdown. Ryan has clinched with only 2 losses on the year. Ryan to clinch the #1 seed and first-round bye needs to win this week and next week and two Ls from Bryan and Roberto as he should hold #1 easily with his PF. Ryan with 2 wins of his next 4 will clinch a bye.

    Ryan is coming back to full strength with Mike will back and the addition of Jonathan Taylor was massive for him as he looked himself with no Hines there to take away touches he was a great replacement for what has been a disappointing season for Deandre Swift. You are the team to beat. 

2. Bryan - Bryan can clinch a playoff spot this week as well with a win. If he wins this week it will also keep him in contention for the #1 seed. However, the #2 seed also gets a first-round bye. However, clinching a bye is not out of the question. For Bryan to clinch a bye week he will need to win 3 of his next 4. However, if he just needs 1 win in his next 3 to guarantee a playoff spot. 

    Bryan losing Kupp in primetime is rough as well as losing Goedert. You also lost fournette who probably lost his starting job. Deebo Samuel has been an afterthought with CMC arriving. Chris Olave continues his ROY-type season. Kupp coming back this year really depends on if the Rams can stay in the playoff picture or not. However, he and Goedert are projected back in week 15. If your team can stay healthy I believe in the playoff push. This will also be based off of current PF.

3. Gio - Gio can clinch a playoff spot if he wins out. The other way he can clinch a playoff spot is if Chuck, Ant, Erik, and Nauch lose two of their next three. Gio if he wins out can also get into the conversation about a first-round bye if Wings loses 1 of his next 4. Rob and Bryan lose two of their next 4. Gio also if he loses two of 3 has a possibility of falling into the play-in round. 

    this one is gonna shock a lot of people maybe even yourself. You are rebuilding your 2020 mickey mouse ring team. However, Dalvin Cook has been the most underrated RB of the year, and Eckler and Kamara doing they thing. Your receiving core matters on those offenses finally getting their shit together which I think they will. 

4. Wings - Wings can secure a playoff spot by winning 2 of 3. Wings can also get into the bye talks if he wins 3 of his next 4 and Rob and Bryan drop a game or 2. Wings can also fall into the play in picture if he loses two of his next 3. 

    Wings, your team just is not performing. Idk what it is, but these last two weeks have been rough. With the Cordarrelle patterson addition was nice for depth, Rachad white possibly taking the job from fournette. You finally have a rb core that can complement your WR core. 

5. Ant - The reigning Champ is HERE. To clinch a playoff spot he needs to win out and Gio to lose two of his next 3 as well as Chuck lose 1 of 3 (Or Out PF chuck). Ant to be eliminated from playoffs entirely is for Nauch or Erik to win the 6th seed as Chuck would hold PF over him for the play-in. In the current position, ant is guaranteed the play-in spot if current standings hold and would play chuck in week 14. 

    Ant, you finally found a QB after you traded for Herbert. You went and got RB1 Justin Fields off the waiver wire. White CMC regardless of splitting touches is still seeing 18 touches a game lol. Mixon coming off his best game of the season maybe found some life. Your receiving core outside of AJ Brown is your biggest question mark though as sutton and Higgins have been inconsistent. 

6. Chuck - Chuck can clinch a playoff spot if he wins out and Gio loses 2 of his next 3(Only 1 L needed if out PF Gio) Wings losing out (Or 2 of 3 if out PF). At this point in time though Chuck is guaranteed the play in based off of PF lead. Only way Chuck does not make play in is if Gio loses 2 of next 3 and 2 of Ant, Erik and Nauch win out. 

Chuck, last week was embarrassing lmao. Your last minute tinkers fuck you again. You have the best running back trio overall(thats gonna piss off gio) and your receiving core is good but not great. Inconsistent Kittle and a fucking midget. You got BIG RAPE coming in soon tho..

7. Rob - Robby, can clinch a playoff spot with a win this week. Rob can clinch a bye if he wins out and Bryan loses at least 1. Rob can get first seed if Ryan loses at least 2 and he wins out. Rob can fall into play in if he loses out and Ant or Chuck win out. 

    Robby, your team well with no trades on the year. You are just hopping swift fully dies and JK dobbins is him. Your receiving core has got you far, but its been inconsistent. If they can find life the ROB hype train can get chuggin at the right time. 

8. Erik - Erik, You are way to far behind in PF. You need to win 2 of your next 3 and nauch, chuck and Ant lose two of there next three to get into the play in. You need gio to lose out and you to win out as well to clinch a playoff spot with the other scenario. Erik in his current position with the new play in rule needs to finish as the 6th seed for the play in or he is eliminated. 

Erik, FUCK YOU. Good win way to sweep me. You got a little bit of a sneaky team that can help you and spoil other people's dreams. Montgomery being alone finally in touches and Gibson taking on the WR/RB role that mckissick had has been gold. KEENAN Allen is back for the first time since week 2 lmaoo. 

9. Nauch - You Literally have the same fate as Erik just plug your name into Eriks and Eriks into your name. lol

    Nauch You tanked, but it would be hilarious in FRAUCH FASHION to make the playoffs still lmao. Having Etienne going into next year as well as sneaky possible keepers in Pacheco, Allegeier, Sanders and Pickens. You are primed for next year to do as you please.

10. Joe - Joe unless you average 235.7 points a week for the next 3 weeks you have already been eliminated.

    Look forward to next year and just play SPOIL party for those that play you.
