Regular Season Awards and Playoff Preview
MVP
Jalen Hurts - Hurts lead Joel to the playoffs with a very consistent season, and performed high above his ADP. This was exceptionally important in a season where QB wasn’t deep as it typically is. Normally a QB1 finish doesn’t land the MVP, but this year it does.
Honorable Mention Amon St. Brown
Most Surprising
Geno Smith - It didn’t get Chris into the playoffs, but Geno helped keep him afloat and into the 5-6 matchup. It’s clear we need to compare him to a Most Disappointing, Russ Wilson, but the mid-season pickup of Geno Smith helped Chris through the season.
Honorable Mention Jamaal Williams
Most Disappointing
Najee Harris - The volume is the weirdest thing, but the Steelers just suck. Tony ends up in Slutter Bracket, perhaps with Najee holding the bill.
Honorable Mention Kyle Pitts
Playoff Preview
1. Sweet Brotha Numpsay (10-3) vs. 4. Show me the Mooney (7-6) Spread: Seif -4
I’m gonna say Seif pulls off a narrow victory in the upset here, but Pangy’s been Mr. Steady.
What to watch for? * RB battle between Stephenson and Foreman * WR room for Seif - DeVante, Chase and Waddle * St. Brown and Chubb have carried Pangy, can they keep it up? * Schultz vs. Higbee could be a decider
2. 8=========D (9-4) vs. The Hurts Locker (8-5) Spread: PJ -20
PJ slides into the playoffs on a two week losing streak and Joel squeaks in, but can he hold off the juggernaut PJ has been?
What to watch for? * Mahomes vs. Joel * TE for Joel, he’s missing Goedert and already put up a zero for week one of the matchup * Which Niner eats, Samuel or McCaffery? * Josh Palmer starting for Joel is a huge wild card (especially with Williams back)
Slutler Bracket
10. Browns Fantasy (3-10) vs. 7. Can you Diggs it? (6-7) Spread: Tony -14
Every single matchup has a red color next to it this week for Tony, but I still gotta believe he pulls this one out.
What to watch for? * The one legit TE battle: Hockenson vs. Andrews * Deshaun Watson being a piece of shit and sucking at football too * Murray feeding Nuk and Hollywood
8. One Snake One Kupp (5-8) vs. 9. Unpaid Bills (4-9) Spread: Jake -31
I’m gonna destroy Neil, it’s not even going to be fun.
What to watch for? * Barkley vs. Jefferson as our tradees face off * Swift vs. Kamara, both have been inconsistent to say the least (oh and Kamara’s bye) * Broncos vs. Bills: Jeudy, Dulcich, Cook, Davis and Knox are all in the lineup for us!
Five vs. Six
5. Jus-Jonzin-4-Herb (7-6) vs. Wheelin & Thielen (6-7) Spread: CJ -10
This one’s gonna be a tight one! Four weeks of seeing each other is a long time, I hope you guys don’t want to kill each other when it ends.
What to watch for? * Andy going with Perine this week with Mixon coming back, other RB is Jamaal who’s touches are starting to diminish * Seahawks for CJ: Geno, Lockett and Meyers * Godwin has been great for CJ * WR for Andy is tough, both Aiyuk and Smith have been up-and-down
