- Lambeau Leapin’ Lambs (7-4; Evan Clayton): What a nail-biter for Evan in week 11, and his biggest blessing? No one from his team, but the Falcons D/ST scoring -5 to keep Ant down just enough. Evan’s team is looking primed for the postseason, and will at least be .500 for the year. Although, I think it’s an easy bet to say: Evan will end the year with at least 8 wins.
2. The Bonkers (7-4; Anthony DiMinno): Big oof on losing out to Evan on account of Falcons D/ST. Ant would have been better off starting none. I know there are arguments against having D/ST in the BFL, but this author’s opinion is to keep the spot. It’s your Fantasy Football Team, not your Fantasy Football Offense. Anyways, on to the next and probably the postseason for Ant.
3. The Nightman Cometh (7-4; Craig Stalowski): Burrow and Chase continue to be a “cheat code” for Craig, and it didn’t hurt that the rest of his team was bringing up the rear in week 11. Pat did not put up too much of a fight with some tough BYEs and injuries on his plate. Craig should coast nicely to the playoffs, unless things really blow up in his face.
4. The Horn Knee Grimace (7-4; Greg Flohs): Greg is STILL very Horn Knee for trades over the past couple of weeks and this past week he found himself in a menage-a-trois with John and Pat. Greg also gave Nick a wonderful gift by defeating Jimmy by narrow margins – keeping his fleeting hopes alive. Greg looks to make a postseason push with most likely just one more win needed.
5. IHOP for Touchdowns (6-5; Pat Masur): Now at 6-5, and with Nick losing again, Pat has officially cleared the punishment possibilities. Sam is pleased. Now Pat finds himself in a weird position: get a win or two more and you’re in the playoffs, loss out and you probably don’t get in. The rest of Pat’s season begins now.
6. Team Maxson (6-5; Johnathan Maxson): Johnathan finds himself back in the win column with a solid outing and a non-worrisome opponent. Johnathan’s team looks pretty solid and his RB depth with Kamara, Mixon and Stevenson probably ranks only second to Evan’s RB depth. I like this team as we head into the final rush to the postseason.
7. Fantasy Football Team (5-6; Steve Katz): The streak is over. Stop the count. Steve fell to Josh with a not-so-stellar week. Steve is effectively safe from punishment, but will need at least two wins to have a decent shot at the postseason. That journey is not easy starting against Craig this week.
8. Milk Milk Lemonade (5-6; Sean Washington): Sean has reached the coveted “Doris Line”, and even better for his fellow managers, he kicked Nick down even further, effectively making the punishment a two-horse race; for now. Now Sean finds himself in a key divisional matchup with hopes of turning this ship towards the postseason. Will he find himself there? Or in Loser Limbo?
9. Phoenixville Horn Dogs (5-6; John Williams): Unless John’s team gets a boost from the trade deadline, I don’t think this roster has it in them. Just about statistically safe from a lemonade stand, but the playoffs seem to be out of reach. Especially when you consider matchups against Ant and Craig in the coming two weeks. Let’s see what happens at the deadline, if anything, for John’s team. (I wrote this before our three-way, btw)
10. Sparta Waffle Eaters (5-6; Josh Tucci): Josh’s season is truly astounding. He is effectively safe from punishment as the only thing keeping him statistically in is if Nick wins out and beats him with PF – which is a possibility. BUT, Josh still has an outside chance at the playoffs, with a team averaging under 90PF per week. For reference: I got last the prior 2 years average 95-96/week, and my teams were bad. Good for you, Josh. Good for you.
11. Gettleman’s Hog Mollies (4-7; Jimmy Campbell): I think Jimmy is mildly worried. At this point, only he and Nick have failed to clear the ‘Doris Line’ with 3 weeks to go. His saving grace is the fact he still has two games in hand against Nick. And boy do we have a date with destiny this week: Jimmy v Nick. Huge punishment implications with this one. If Jimmy wins, he is confirmed safe; if he loses, there is even more to worry about. BFL, welcome to the MinuteMaid Bowl.
12. K9 Dawg Pound (2-9; Nick Calabrase): Nick continues his misfortunes in the 2024 season with another loss – this time against Sean There’s not much to say that hasn’t already been said. All hope is not yet lost, just win some games, starting with the MinuteMaid Bowl.
