Situation
As we enter the final two weeks of the regular season, I am already planning for next year's live draft. It's what you do when you've been eliminated from the Championship Playoff. I have a theme picked out if Paul wins the Ship. I have a theme picked out if Jordan wins the Ship. I have a theme if Tracy wins the Ship. If Travis wins the Ship, I am shutting the League down!

Dark Lord Commissioner vs Check Out My Lightsaber
Depressing. To not make the Championship playoff and now looking at getting swept by Paul. What has happened to me?! I've lost my fantasy football mojo. I am so desperate I am throwing out Taysom Hill this week at QB. I should have had the guts last week to bench Kyler, but at this point it doesn't really matter. All I have is my pride and it is already severely bruised.
If Cook can stay healthy (BIG IF), Paul has a great chance to finally win the Belt. He really nailed his draft. It helps when you have Henry and Cook as your two keepers. Really, really hard to screw a team up with that start. Paul is evidence of that. If Paul can't screw it up, no one can...well maybe Tracy. Yeah, definitely Tracy. Paul is going to stomp my team into the ground this week.
Its On Like Donkey Kong vs The Jedi Master
Justin once again gets booted from Beards after a single season. Just too much competition for Justin to overcome. He needs a weaker division to dominate to get another chance at the Belt. It's worked for him twice so far.
This is a meaningless match for both sides. I am sure Tracy wants to go into the Playoff with a winning streak. With no Pill Filler, Cooks should get more targets but he will also get more attention from the defense. DK will get his and Waller should have a nice bounce back game against J-E-T-S, SUCK, SUCK, SUCK. Interesting choice in benching Ridley, though. Still, Tracy's roll continues.
Mother Tucker vs Roodiculous
It's never good when you have to start the Biscuit Boy, but the matchup is good. It can't be any worse than her QB last week, right? She needs Conner to be out one more week until RoJo get back from bye. Alex Smith doesn't turn the ball over much, so she has to hope her D can hold them to minimal yards and gets a few sacks. Keenan will have Gilmore all over him this week. Not a lot of upside this week for her.
Gary finds new ways to lose each week. He should be favored. Drake is getting more touches to protect Kyler, especially at the goal line. Those are golden opportunities. Ekeler is back, too. Those two alone give Gary the advantage this week for Gary. Dana needs Travis to lose to force a winner take all matchup next week.
Rolling Dunder vs Hays Blaze
The Second Coming of Aaron Rodgers has propelled Travis within one game of making the playoffs. He just needs to win and Dana to lose to clinch the Bros division. With Chubb back in the fold, he has the cornerstone players to make a charge.
Duke Johnson has done little with his opportunity. Josh Stallion got his ankle and knee twisted which could limit his run game this week. Krug needs a big game from MT and the Falcons are a perfect matchup for it. Still, I just see Rodgers and Chubb being too good to for Krug to overcome this week.
EW Black vs Just Beat EW Black
Can Jordan survive until CMC returns? He may have gotten a little too cocky. The Rams D should hold Hopkins in check, especially with Kyler still nursing the sore shoulder. Adams and Hill have shown they can drop 40s anytime. A part of me wouldn't mind seeing my brother pull off the upset, but then he will start talking sh*t to me. LOL
I don't think I have too much to worry about. The Mahomes/Hill stack is just too good even if Steve has Kelce.
King of the Crapper vs Underestim8ed
Linda started off hot going 3-0 in the division, but has faded fast. This is another meaningless matchup. David is destined for the Crapper playoff and Linda is destined for the Consolation Playoff. Not much will change that. It doesn't take much to beat David's lineup. Linda has plenty to put another L in David's record.
