“I am no longer the villain of this league” – Under the Influwentz Front Office
In a week stuffed to the rafters with last-minute trade offers and consistent cajoling of league managers, we have our final rosters locked in for the end of the season. Barring injuries, streaming options on the Waiver Wire are nearly non-existent, and the matchups this week mean everything for the guys at the bottom of the standings.

Sellouts vs. Auto-Draft
Hulu Has Live Sports throws down with Captain Insano in week 11.
With analysts around the world wondering how it’s possible that as much bad luck as Captain Insano’s front office has had this season is possible, it is technically still possible for them to finish the season in not last place. Hulu Has Live Sports’ staff have sold out completely and are thankful for the Bye that will allow Barkley to “heal up.” It might even let Barkley start to meet his draft price. Nevertheless, Hulu has put their entire season into the hands of the Cleveland Browns offense, a move I not only respect but agree with completely.
In a must-win matchup for Hulu, the question on everyone’s mind is, “Will Captain Insano start 9 players this week?” If he can remember to start his all-star QB and fill his bye slots, he’ll be in a 50-50 showdown with the commissioner, placing the commish in a dire situation in week 12 with the possiblity of missing out on the playoffs.
Projection: Insano 90 – HHLS 92.
Rising Phoenix vs. Long Arm of the Law
Javaris Jamar Javarison-Lamar and Cuttino Mobley Dream Team play in a low-stakes game of fantasy this week.
Neither of these two teams are at risk of missing the playoffs, ad the only thing worth fighting over at this point is a first-round bye. The Dream-Team is in possession of the bye at the moment and has the opportunity to climb to the #1 spot if catastrophe strikes down the Chadtheletes in the next two weeks.
Returning from a heartbreaking season last year, Javaris can secure themselves a bye with a win in each of the next two weeks, but both will be a challenge facing off against the #2 and #3 teams. A playoff run for the team feels inevitable.
Projection: Cuttino 98 – Javaris 96 (Browns hold Steelers to 0 or negative points guaranteed)
P.S. – does anyone know what the Cuttino Mobley team name means?
America’s Team vs. Groupme on Do-Not-Disturb
The Chadtheletes attempt to secure 1st in the regular season, while Todd Gurley’s Cat finally chimes into the league and makes a second-half run.
While the Chadtheletes’ Front Office moves were not well received leading up to the trade deadline, their staff seems confident that the belt and title will be taking their talents to Cleveland at the end of this season. Amidst injuries and bye weeks, the team’s morale has remained sky-high and will ride into the championship on the back of the Bills’ leader, Josh Allen.
TGC’s team is boldly not starting (as of this article) a player that they spent $27 FAAB on in a critical matchup. Just an observation.
Projection: Chadtheletes 115 – TGC 98.
Josh Allen Fan Club vs. AWS Next-Gen Stats
It’s Miller Time and Schnick’s Rehab both struggle for end-of-season relevancy in week 11.
Miller Time and Schnick’s Rehab are both on the playoff bubble, with a win this week letting either of them breathe a sigh of relief and a loss taking their playoff future out of their hands.
With only 3 roster moves in the last two weeks, two of which involving adding and dropping Bilal Powell, one has to wonder if the end-of-season hopes for Miller Time have given way to acceptance that next year could be better.
That said, even with a team of Computer Scientists helping to operate the Front Office, Schnick’s Rehab was unable to secure a playoff spot this late in the season. Banking on the Patriot’s defense, which up to this point has only faced 2 teams with a functioning offense, may have proven too much. Selling them high a few weeks back may have allowed the team to secure a playoff slot much earlier than this.
Projection: Miller Time 103 – Rehab 98
A Tale of Two Brothers
Keke do you love me and Baby Got Dak square off in what should be a high-scoring shootout this week. Keke has only a slight worry about not making the playoffs and can secure a spot with a win this week.
Baby Got Dak, on the other hand, is well within reach of 1st place of the regular season. Both this matchup and next week’s are must-wins to accomplish this goal.
Both of these teams are good, I will pray for whoever faces them in week 2 of the playoffs.
Projection: Dak 134 – KeKe 125
40% vs. 30 for 30
The only matchup anyone is watching this week.
Under the Influwentz is in full panic mode, with a loss this week placing playoffs out of reach for the once-decent front office. An unwillingness to trade with the Chadtheletes in the later weeks of the season may be to blame for this predicament. The management of the club faces a 40% chance of making the playoffs this season.
Greendale Human Beings, on the other hand, bolstered their team heading into week 11. The team, now led by Matt Ryan and backed up with an impressive supporting cast, could reach for a bye and potentially fight for 2nd overall during the regular season.
I’ll be live-tweeting this matchup. Guaranteed James Connor re-aggravates an injury in the first quarter against the stalwart Browns defense.
Projection: Influwentz 102 – Greendale 105
