Week 13 Fantasy Wrap-Up

Untitled-1_copy_medium_medium_medium

Heading into the final week of the season on a three-game losing streak is never a good thing for a team's playoff hopes.  Because of the three consecutive losses I suffered, I needed a couple things to happen in order to make the postseason.  First things first, I had to come away with a victory, which I did, as you can see below.

Better Than Millen (me) 82.28
STUD: RB LenDale White 22.6
DUD: D/ST Packers 0
BENCHED: QB Gus Frerotte 20.5
OPTIMUM: 102.5 RATING: 80%
Maize 'n' Blue Jays (THE_J) 70.06
STUD: RB Matt Forte 18.5
DUD: K Robbie Gould 2
BENCHED: QB Joe Flacco 25.7
OPTIMUM: 88 RATING: 79%

Now that I took care of my business, I had to root against Underdogs, who had a 7-5 record going into Week 13.  My record was 6-6, so in order to achieve a tie, Underdogs had to lose.  Thanks to Just go away Favre, who beat Underdogs 104.12-99.5 despite having Brian Westbrook on the bench, that's exactly what happened.  I now have the same record as Underdogs, and I believe I have the edge in the tiebreaker.  I would like to flat out say that I am in the playoffs, but it's not as simple as that.

The other 7-5 team going into Week 13, Detroit's Few Good Men, actually got beat by 2-10 Rudys Warhawks by a surprising score of 111.8-64.78.  That means that Detroit's Few Good Men has the same record as me, but since he beat me earlier this season, I believe he holds the tiebreaker.  Even so, that may not matter since he lost to Underdogs in Week 4.  I'm not exactly sure how a three-way tie would be broken, but I believe I have a playoff spot no matter what.  I guess we'll find out for sure in the morning when everything is updated.  Once that happens, I will put up a new post about the playoffs.

Moving on to the POD overflow league, I won 110.88-73.66 to move into a tie with two other teams for the second best record in the league.  I don't believe I will win the tiebreaker to secure a first-round bye in the playoffs, but again, we'll have to see how everything shakes out.  In the SBN/AOL league, I won 82.05-52.65 to clinch a division title.  As it stands right now, I have the best record in the league, and with only one week left in the regular season, I will probably end up with a first-round bye. 

It seems like there is a pattern with the three leagues I am in based on when the leagues drafted.  The official POD league drafted before the other two, and I am on the edge of not making the playoffs.  In the POD overflow league, which drafted second, I won my division.  Finally, in the SBN/AOL league, which drafted third, I have the best record.  Just as I thought before the season even started, I drafted better each time through.  I guess I'll have to keep that in mind next year to ensure that I don't pick Terrell Owens over a good quarterback ever again.  That's what happened in the official POD league draft, and it really set me back as I haven't had a solid QB all season long.  I guess the phrase "practice makes perfect" even applies to fantasy football.

Anyways, a look at how the rest of Week 13 went in the official POD league can be found after the jump.
