Well, this season has flown by. We're already through Week 12 and only 3 weeks of the regular season left. Which means playoff spots are going to be won & lost in the next few matchups.
3 teams are currently sitting at 7-5, with Jordan right behind at 6-6 and Ramsey still in the hunt at 5-7. We have seen teams win their last 3-4 games to clinch the last playoff spot before, so it wouldn't surprise me to see it again.
On to the matchups..
Brice vs Eric
Brice has unfortunately dropped 3 in a row BUT he's still sitting in a good spot at 7-5.
CMC did "CMC-things" on Monday Night Football, but he was going to need a Herculean effort, as Jahmyr Gibbs contributed nearly 50 points to my win this week.
Brice faces off with Matt in Week 13, in a matchup with significant playoff implications.
Zach vs Kent
Zach got a 30-point effort out of Jalen Hurts, and Amon-Ra notched his highest yardage total of the season to get the "W" this week vs Kent. While it may be too late for either team to have aspirations for a playoff spot, it's a matter of pride at this point.
Kent's team was led by Derrick Henry, as the Ravens have been able to lean on their run game lately. Rashee Rice also put up 141 yards on 12 targets, although he's apparently now dealing with a hamstring issue. Seems like Kent's team just can't catch a break this season.
Zach gets a matchup with Kyle in Week 13, while Kent will go up against Dan.
Dan vs Ramsey
George Pickens has a couple games in a row now with 140+ yards and a score, helping Dan to nab his 3rd straight win in his victory over Ramsey this week.
Dan moves up to 7-5 on the season, and his team is averaging a blistering 135 points over the past 3 weeks.
He'll be hoping to ride that wave through the next few matchups to clinch a playoff bid. In a matchup that I'm sure will have very little trash talk whatsoever, Dan goes up against Kent in Week 13.
Ramsey lost a close matchup with a respectable team effort. I'm tired of talking about Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He's the #1 WR in scoring, and it's not even particularly close. He's the first player in NFL history with 75+ receiving yards through the first 11 games.
While Ashton Jeanty & Tyrone Tracy also put up solid efforts, it wasn't enough to get past Dan.
Ramsey squares off with Tom in Week 13.
Jordan vs Tom
Tom has been on a heater lately, and this week marks his 3rd consecutive win. Sitting in 2nd place at 8-5 with 3 weeks to play is a pretty comfortable spot to be in.
Guess it's pretty nice having the Stafford/Davante Adams stack, as Stafford has thrown 9 TDs to Adams over their last 5 games. The formidable starting RB duo of Bijan & James Cook doesn't hurt either.
Tom will look to make it 4-in-a-row when he faces off with Ramsey in Week 13.
Jordan's team is dealing with a couple pretty rough injuries, with both Josh Jacobs & Drake London ruled out this week...and his lineup paid the price.
WR Michael Wilson was really the only lone bright spot. He's amassed 25 receptions & over 300 yards just in the past couple games.
Jordan drops down to .500 at 6-6 and gets a matchup with me this week.
Kyle vs Matt
We appreciate Kyle & Matt leaving the points for the rest of the league this week. Matt narrowly comes out on top, in the low-scoring affair. A.J Brown & Travis Etienne both found the endzone for Matt's team, while Kyle ALMOST got the dreaded "zero-TD" week... but was saved by a....rushing TD from DK Metcalf. Guess that's one way for the Steelers to get production out of Metcalf.
Amazingly, not even a TD toss or run from QB Josh Allen..
Kyle drops to 4-8, while Matt is firmly in the playoff hunt sitting at 7-5.
Best of luck to ya'll in Week 13 & Happy Thanksgiving!
- Eric
