My late Week 12 writeups, for your consideration. Russell Wilson's Libido vs. Blue Squares (Temp Name) This was a close matchup that wasn't decided until Monday night. Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson connected for a combined 44.2 on MNF to give Blue Squares the edge. Both teams had some solid performers, with Shady McCoy's 29.4 points the standout for RWL. Fun fact: Shady was drafted directly after Eddie Lacy, and is currently the number 6 RB by our scoring. RWL could have pulled it out if he'd played some of his bench players, with Tavon Austin and Lance Kendrick putting up better numbers than Brandon LaFell and Greg Olsen, but that's some extreme Monday morning QBing, and who would ever have that much faith in the Rams? Blue Squares put up a solid win with Anquan Boldin and Terrelle Pryor putting in some of the strongest work. The good news for RWL is that he could afford the loss, as it dropped him only to a 9-3 record with still a likely first round bye in the playoffs.  RG Three Dicks vs. Bang Bang In the closest match of the week, RG Three Dicks squeaked out a narrow 4.2 point victory. Both teams had strong performances across their lineups, with RG3's being a little more consistent. In fact, the QB was the lowest scoring player except DST on his roster, with Russell Wilson putting up only 10 points and no TDs. Devonta Freemon and Le'Veon Bell were their usual consistent high scoring selves, and Davante Adams had a huge 2 TD night on Monday to put RG3 over the top. Bang Bang got a strong 26.8 points out of Big Ben, and Mike Evans had the highest score of the week with 30.4 points. The Giants defense dunked all over the Browns, with a big 22 point performance. Unfortunately, both of his TEs decided to do what TEs do, and randomly combined for one target and zero points. Flexing one of the solid WRs on the bench would have improved the situation.  Mods Knew vs. Personal Breesus Our biggest blowout of the week. The margin of victory was 43 points, as despite Mods Knew putting up a very respectable 136.6, Breesus blew it out of the water with the highest score of the week, 179.6. Breesus was well named this week, as Drew Brees scored over 40 points with 4 passing touchdowns and a bonus rushing TD for good value. With three more players scoring over 30 points, including the always reliable David Johnson, Michael Thomas and Jordan Reed, this match was over by Sunday afternoon. The few disappointing spots were Frank Gore and the Bills DST, but it didn't matter with the big hitters. Mods Knew had a high score of 29.2 from Emmanuel Sanders and Jonathan Stewart dug deep to get a season high 21.6 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Brees juggernaut. A few WRs on the bench could have filled in for the 0 point performance of Kendall Wright, but it wasn't going to make up the deficit. Breesus has the highest Points For in the league on the season right now, and with weeks like this you can see why.  Purple Grank vs. Fitz Out for Harambe Another fairly one sided match, as Purple Grank's players just didn't show up this week. Philip River had a strong 25.7 point performance over the Texans, but neither of the RBs Blount or Chris Thompson got much going. ARob has been inconsistent all year and this week was a down week. Willie Snead's 16.8 was a bit of a bright spot, as was Crabtree's 19, but that was really all the positive that Grank had going on, and it only brought him to a total of 108.4. Gronk's 0 and now being out for the season for back surgery is just adding insult to injury. Fitz Out took home the W with a decent performance. AB84 was awesome as usual with 32.1 points and the high score, which was a good counter to Brandin Cooks laying a 0 down unexpectedly. Mark Ingram had a very good day helping to roll over the Rams with over 150 yards from scrimmage, a rushing TD and a receiving TD, for a total of 29.7 points. Kelce had a good day as well, and seems to being heating up as the season comes to a close, which could be good news for Fitz in the playoffs.  Dab Nation vs. My Doctor Prescribed Weed Dab Nation had a relatively commanding victory over My Doctor Prescribed Weed, 139.6 to 111. Tight end was one position that factored into that, with Dab's TE Eifert bringing home a very respectable 17.8 points, which Weed's Julius Thomas ended up not playing due to injury. Hunter Henry sat neglected on the bench. The QB position was pretty even, which Mariota and Cam both having pretty good days. What made the difference for Dab was strong performances from Ted Ginn Jr. (22.8), Carlos Hyde (20.5) and a solid 14.4 from Seth Roberts. The Raiders DST also had a pretty good day with 12 points despite allowing 32 points to Carolina, with a whole bunch of strong D play including a pick 6, two fumble recoveries and two sacks. Weed had a lousy outing from Tyler Lockett, who missed all six of his targets and gained only 0.9 points through rushing yards. That caused ESPN fantasy to declare "Lockett shouldn't be on fantasy rosters at this point", so naturally in week 13 he scored 24.8 points, because fantasy football doesn't make any drat sense.  Genie in a Bortles vs. Touchdown There Speaking of fantasy not making any sense, there was this thing. Our MIA commish had put up 22.2 points the previous week, and scores in the 60s for the two weeks before that, so I'll admit I didn't stress about my lineup too much. Kyle Rudolph scored a nice 15.4 on Thanksgiving, but I didn't worry overly. After all, injured Gio was still in the lineup, and TDT doesn't bother with playing a defense. Plus his QB was Trevor Siemian. So yeah, I felt okay. All day Sunday I kept an eye on the matchup, and TDT was staying around, fueled by a nice 23.9 performance by Inman, but I was still solidly ahead. I went out to dinner at a sports bar and Siemian had around 4 points at halftime, so I knew it was all good. Went home, had a few drinks and watched Westworld with my roommates. Checked my fantasy scores, and apparently Trevor Siemian went super saiyan in the second half? I still don't really know what happened here, but I hate it very much. Shoutout to Bortles, Zeke and Edelman on my team for some good wasted effort. Turns out DeSean Jackson over SSS would have been the way to go, apparently. Anyway, fantasy football is bad and my only consolation is that I probably wasn't going to get near the playoffs anyway. Trevor loving Siemian.

I hate you so much we have 9 combined players in this game, including both of our QBs  34.9 points from Bilal Powel on my bench. Of course he only got those because Forte got injured in the 1st quarter and there was no way to predict that, but drat it. Also Taylor Gabriel would have at least given me a shot if I had played him. Super frustrating to see all those points on my bench. blue squares fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Dec 12, 2016 |

You guys should probably start trying to figure out his deal sooner rather than later; he went completely MIA from another Goon League as well. He's been starting John Borwn for 5 weeks in that one.

 Crowder picked a wonderful night to have his worst game of the year but 31 combined yards from Crowder/Reed was apparently good enough! I am praying for no stat corrections...

The worst part is Fitz probably assumed he was going to lose going into tonight and then as each poo poo quarter rolled on more and more hope creeped in... until Reed caught that one pass and then punched someone in the face. His championship dream was that face.

We're on some kind of majority vote setting where I think it would pay out faster if the commish approved it, but eventually the winner should get their money even if he never shows up.

Well, Davante Adams let my trip to the finals drop through his hands twice, but I can't be mad. Two months ago I was 2-7, so coming within a drop of the finals is better than I could've dreamed.

JJ Nelson also dropped a gimme 50 yd TD so I figured that was karma on my part. I remember doing the write-ups a few weeks back and thinking your team was pretty stacked so congrats on turning it around. I have a friend that lost because of the Crowder fumble at the end of the game. Looks like Breesus pulled it out by .4 - saved by PPR.

We have a $600 pot to distribute. Did we ever decide how the payout would be structured? I would imagine 1-3 is due for some cash.

I'm not sure what we agreed on, but I wouldn't object of we decided that 3rd place was the real winner. Congrats on your championship victory, your name will reverberate throughout history.

Yeah, I don't think we ever came to a consensus on payout. Something like $300, $200, $100 for 1st, 2nd, 3rd? $350, $175, $75?

As much as I would enjoy getting more money, $350/$175/$75 makes more sense. The people in the finals should always get a huge cut of the prize pool.
