We open today with a scalding-hot final week of action. Let’s check in on our Matchups.
·Peanut – 244 vs 261 – Daniel: Peanut leapt out to a massive 73-12 lead on Monday, but we ping-ponged back to Daniel winning Tuesday 49-97. Wednesday, Peanut swept 45-0. Following the pattern, Thursday Daniel came storming back and doubled him up 77-152. Tonight, solidly benched Drewbanks and McDaniels battle possibly massive-minutes Hachimura in the fight of their lives. As a reminder, if Peanut wins he is the 8 seed and makes the playoffs. If Daniel wins, we go to a tiebreaker that I cannot find the rules for. High drama! Don’t turn that dial!
·Old Man Team – 487 vs. 369 – Isaac: In their third matchup of the year, OMT has continued to play like Okongwu against Giannis. In a smooth transition, Giannis being out two games has allowed space for the Old Man Team Bucks to pull through with some big-time performances. Tuesday night saw Disney World-Level fireworks as Isaac went for 181 points. Not to be outdone, OMT went for 196. Isaac won the sad Wednesday night affair 37-36, and then we come to Thursday. With the stakes so high, we can’t help but assume some form of collusion was involved in Isaac leaving four players on the bench, leading to a 105-41 victory for the Old Men. Is he ducking the 8 Seed? Did Will pay him off so Will could get the 1 Seed? Was he just drunk? We may never know
·Will – 306 vs. 342 – Steven: Going against the conspiracy theory that Will’s paying Isaac off, we have Will falling behind in this matchup. Delon Wright refuses to go quietly into that dark night, leading all scorers for the week with 70 points, making the Monte Morris injury situation more interesting by the minute. A little more points shaving took place on Tuesday as Will left 87 points on his bench between Anthony and Oubre. 87 points that by my math would see him leading the week. Hmm… Conspiracy Dillon is on the case.
And now I present to you The Free Agent All-Stars: Best of the Rest! These are the best players, in my humble opinion, to have never been picked up by any of us. Not one of these men has seen the inside of a fantasy locker room this season. Depravity indeed. I’ve included average minutes, average fantasy points, and total fantasy points to fuel the debate. Had to stretch some positions as you’ll find out immediately, but I think it’s overall quite fair.
