Other than one dominant team at the top of the standings. Positions 2-9 are only separated by 1 game and everything is still to play for.
Team Begun – 1st Pick Prediction – Minor Leagues
Originally, I had this team in the champions league. Then Zeke decided to sign and they dropped to the Minor leagues. Now it is looking like Amateur Hour for this team. 2nd fewest points scored and 3 most points against. It’s a miracle they even have 2 wins right now. We see three common team members of bottom-tier teams in Mixon, Cooks, and Mayfield. Add in a Saquon injury and you get a terrible team. They snagged Ty Johnson off the waivers so there is some hope for the team going forward. They need to get Mixon out of the lineup for Johnson and maybe there is a chance for the minors next year.
Alstadt Beer Garden – 2nd Pick Prediction – Champions League
The Beers may be the best team to never be in the Champions League. Always near the top but just short each time. They are sitting in 3rd and positioned just right for another heartbreaking end to the season. Watson and McCaffrey have been great and Rodgers seems to be picking up his game. However, there are major flaws with this lineup. The top two WRs are currently Colts which limits the upside. Duke Johnson is filling in the flex spot and he is better on a team’s bench. There is enough here on any given week to get a W but it is going to come down to the wire again.
London Dre Tones – 3rd Pick Prediction – Minor Leagues
Terrible QB play has doomed this team along with some tough injuries to Tyreek Hill and Kerryon. This team’s big hope is for Trubisky to become an all-star. It's looking like he is heading to the bench before the all-star game though. The lineup isn’t all terrible but it might be too little too late for this team to crawl their way back into the minor leagues.
Stoke Penguins – 4th Pick Prediction – Minor Leagues
With the inspired play of Russell Wilson, you would think pairing him with Mahomes would lead to a top tier team. They do have the third-most points scored and the points allowed isn’t too high. It looks like some bad luck on a few weeks has taken this team to 3-3. If Mahomes comes back soon, there is a chance but the RB situation here is pretty awful. Freeman and Damien Williams have both not returned the value he hoped for. I think one of the two TEs needs to be moved for an RB upgrade to get into the playoffs.
Lucky Dogs – 5th Pick Prediction – Champions League
The aptly named Lucky Dogs have the fewest points against which has led to a 5-1 record. Maybe it isn’t luck since they also have the most points scored in the whole of the RFFA. This team is just Wow. Let's start with the Pats D because that is almost unfair this season. Just about every player on this team has performed well. Melvin Gordon is on the bench and it doesn’t even matter if he plays well this season. This team is heading to the playoffs and is the one to beat for the championship.
Complete Momination – 6th Pick Prediction – Amateur Hour League
I guess I got this one a bit wrong so far. But I am not sure if I will be wrong at the end. Our third highest shoring team and 2nd highest points against has a 3-3 record at this point in the season. This team must just be playing the right players at the right time. Zeke and Thielen have been good. Other than that there is one other WR or RB in the top 30 overall for the season. This week is looking fairly dire for the team though. Thielen needs to get healthy and maybe then the Momination can commence for the final four weeks.
Cheng’s Gang – 7th Pick Prediction – Amateur Hour League
Cheng’s Gang is sitting at 4-2 with a team that could continue its winning ways. The team is fairly balanced and with the return of Drew Brees, the QB situation is improving. Despite poor play from JuJu, this team should be competitive for the rest of the season and make it into the playoffs. Quite a turnaround from the original prediction of a bottom 4 finish.
Team Carr – 8th Pick Prediction – Minor Leagues
Despite a 1st round pick of Matt Ryan, This team is in 2nd at 4-2. Waller, Lockett, Prescott, and Cooper have all been playing great for this team. Add in the 49ers D and you have a solid lineup. This week is going to be a struggle with some byes and an injury to Matt Ryan while playing the number 1 team. It will make this league even closer heading into the final couple of weeks of the season.
Tom’s Puppet – 9th Pick Prediction – Champions League
This team is lucky to be at 3-3 right now. Last week they won by 0.6 points and have been outscored by opponents on the season. Other than the giant hole left by OJ Howard at TE, this team has a chance at the playoffs. If everyone can stay healthy, the current starting lineup is one of the best in the league. There are still some byes coming up for a lot of these players though and the bench is weak. This week they look to be headed to 4-3 but maybe they can win a few more and squeeze their way into the playoffs.
Donkey Teeth – 10th Pick Prediction – Minor Leagues
Donkey Teeth has allowed the most points to opponents through 6 weeks of play. Even with Keenan Allen looking questionable this week, these Donkeys are putting together a solid lineup. Overall they need to get healthy though. In addition to Allen, Tyrell Williams has been out multiple weeks and Herndon could fill problem spot at TE. With better health, this team will be fighting for a playoff spot.
Meath Royals – 11th Prediction – Amateur Hour League
Its just ugly. Michael Gallup might be the only overperformer for this team. Antonio Brown, Ben Roethlisberger, Todd Gurley, Darnold, Jeffrey. I could just name off the whole roster. Sorry about your year. Sometimes these things just happen.
Team McAfee – 12th Prediction – Amateur Hour League
Lost but not least, well almost least, is Team McAfee. The team isn’t that bad on paper, but there has been a lot of underperforming and up and down weeks. A couple of tough roster choices have most likely led to our current result. Add in an injury to Davante Adams and this team is currently in 9th and lucky to be 3-3. However, a win this week could change everything. It amazing to see a 9th place team so close to the playoffs after a rough start to the year.
