Article written by Gordo

Happy Monday you lazy fantasy football addicts.

For those of you who have not been checking, I've listed the current stats/standings for the league below with the addition of any players remaining for tonight's Monday Night Football doubleheader. I've also listed the minimum points they need to beat in order to increase each team's total score for the week.  Some of us obviously fair better than others.

    1. Reggie Bush RB, needs to beat 16.5 pts (in flex spot)

    3. Golden Tate WR, needs to beat 4.0 (in flex spot), 6.5 pts (in WR spot)
  6. Stonecutters - 130.0
    1. Danny Woodhead RB, needs to beat 9.0 pts (in RB spot), 12.5 pts (in flex spot)
  7. Itchy_Hungry - 125.0
    1. Andre Williams RB, needs to beat 9.0 pts (in flex spot), 12.0 pts (in RB spot)
    2. Victor Cruz WR, needs to beat 7.0 pts (in WR spot), 9.0 pts (in flex spot)
    3. Michael Floyd WR, needs to beat 7.0 pts (in WR spot), 9.0 pts (in flex spot)
  8. Sarcastaball - 125.0
    1. Keenan Allen WR, needs to beat 5.5 pts (in flex spot), 14.0 pts (in WR spot)
    2. Larry Fitzgerald WR, needs to beat 5.5 pts (in flex spot), 14.0 pts (in WR spot)
    3. Ladarius Green TE, needs to beat 4.5 pts (in TE spot), 5.5 pts (in flex spot)
  9. Mike's Team - 124.5
    1. Calvin Johnson WR, needs to beat 5.5 pts
  10. Jeff's Team - 103.5
    1. Rueben Randle WR, needs to beat 10.5 pts (in flex spot), 12.0 pts (in WR spot)
    2. Eric Ebron TE, needs to beat 10.5 pts (in flex spot), 13.0 pts (in TE spot)
    3. Detroit D/ST, needs to beat 0 pts
    4. Arizona D/ST, needs to beat 0 pts

Based on the players remaining for each team I feel I can safely say that these will not be the final standings by the end of tonight.  I've made my final predictions below.  The following teams need to start praying to the fantasy football Gods for production, Colin2410, Team Gordo, Itchy_Hungry, Sarcastaball, and Jeff's Team as they have the most to gain from Monday Night Football; Mike's Team is a great runner-up if Megatron has a big night.  I do not see there being any change in 1st, 4th, 5th, and 10th places due to large drop offs in points at these positions.

Predicted Final Standings
  1. Lefty - 185.0 pts
  2. Colin2410 - 172.5 pts
  3. Team Juice - 170.0 pts
  4. Dan's Team - 159.0 pts
  5. Team Gordo - 152.0 pts
  6. Mike' Team - 137.0 pts
  7. Itchy_Hungry - 136.0 pts
  8. Sarcastaball - 135.0 pts
  9. Stonecutters - 131.0 pts
  10. Jeff's Team - 110.5 pts

By Wednesday I will post a recap evaluating each team's performance.  Unfortunately this is a draft only league so any injuries will have to be suffered through.  I am willing to open up waivers in a sense for any teams that can be deemed incomplete due to player cuts to kickers, like Jay Feely or Alex Henery for example, since we drafted before the 53 man rosters were set.  I see this as acceptable due to the fact that a kicker's production typically only adds a 10 pt improvement to a team's season...yes, SEASON, the total.

Feel free to comment below, and by all means you must trash talk.  Like, hey Jeff's Team, if only flex included D/ST you might actually have a shot at not last place.  Lefty's only winning because fuck Julius Thomas. Don't worry, I'm gonna get to everyone.  If you've ever met Colin you'd be as confused as I am that he knows anything about football.  Team Juice likes to gamble in AC and from the looks of his roster the same goes for FF; someone offer him a side bet.  Dan sucks. Mike I don't know you but you seem like a nice guy.  Juan stop pretending to know anything about American Football.  Stonecutters...what's your infatuation with the Minnesota Vikings, they make up 20% of your team!  Team Gordo rules.  <drops mic>
