- Lambeau Leapin’ Lambs (8-4; Evan Clayton): After 12 weeks of BFL fantasy, Evan is the first team to clinch his division and punch his ticket to the playoffs. Evan’s team is just monster for the rest of the league to overcome, but if the Evil Doctor wants some more honeymoon money, his team cannot lift their foot off the pedal.
2. The Nightman Cometh (8-4; Craig Stalowski): Let’s face it, and I’ve seen enough, Craig is in the playoffs, and along with Evan it could be a two-horse race to the champtionship; especially with these rosters (I wrote this Monday morning, btw). Craig can sweeten his berth by kicking the Commish down a couple pegs, and potentially out of postseason contention.
3. The Bonkers (7-5; Anthony DiMinno): A rare quiet outing from Fantasy darling, CMC; then top that off with the Giants being down bad, and Ant was down even worse in week 12. Playoffs are effectively on the horizon, so it’s time to get it together for a push into those early rounds.
4. IHOP for Touchdowns (7-5; Pat Masur): Pat’s team jumped from the top rope to defeat Sean in week 12. The encapsulating moment was Scary Terry going 86yds to the house against the Cowboys, and it was curtains for Sean. Pat is finding himself in a likely playoff spot after this win, and he can fully punch his ticket next week against Steve.
5. Team Maxson (7-5; Johnathan Maxson): Johnathan finds himself again in the win column with a terrible outing against a worse opponent. Sometimes you just got to take the bad wins when you can (do I hear Nick screaming?). Anyways, like his other 7-win comrades, John finds himself in an almost guaranteed playoff spots heading into Thanksgiving weekend.
6. The Horn Knee Grimace (7-5; Greg Flohs): Some poor BYE weeks and Brian Robinson immediately getting hurt did Greg in this past week. This team has really good depth and probably it’s worst BYE week behind it. If health remains, Greg’s team will add to an already deeply competitive playoff picture.
7. Phoenixville Horn Dogs (6-6; John Williams): John’s trading gave him enough to have a strong week and critical win over The Bonkers. While some of his newly acquired assets were quiet, Aaron Jones was a welcome addition to this squad. John probably should have started Moore over Jennings, but hey, a win is a win.
8. Fantasy Football Team (5-7; Steve Katz): Steve’s season has been full of ups-and-downs; from starting 0-5 to rattling off five-in-a-row to now dropping his last two. This season has been a rollercoaster. Playoffs aren’t out of the question, but you will probably need to win out to have a shot.
9. Milk Milk Lemonade (5-7; Sean Washington): Sean I think is comfortable at the Doris Line as his team has not done much at since reaching it in week 10. Two straight losses with less than 100pts. It’s time to start thinking Losers Bracket, Sean and secure your preferred pick for next season.
10. Sparta Waffle Eaters (5-7; Josh Tucci): Josh’s team continues their defiant march of terribleness. Another week under 80pts while laying down and just taking it from Evan. Josh is truly fortunate for winning the games he has won.
11. Gettleman’s Hog Mollies (4-8; Jimmy Campbell): Jimmy’s loss came down to the wire against Nick in the MinuteMaid Bowl and with that, this has become a three-horse race for a Lemonade Stand. Our contenders are: Nick, Jimmy, and Josh. Simply put, if Nick loses one more time and Jimmy can get one more win, it’s done. You’re still playing with house money, Jimmy.
12. K9 Dawg Pound (3-9; Nick Calabrase): Nick was victorious in the MinuteMaid Bowl this past week and it really came down to the wire. With JK Dobbins out early with an injury, and a final drive from the Chargers, Nick needed one more reception for at least 6yds to beat Jimmy; and Ladd got it done. Nick is definitely not out of the woods yet, but there’s another week to give some hope.
