Headhunters 2: The Fine Nine

== Introduction ==
In keeping with tradition, late points were counted a day after they were submitted, bringing the validity of this week's results in to question. Trailing heading into MNF, It's Blitz! didn't get their point totals added until Tuesday morning at 10am EST. Should those points even count? Shouldn't only LEGAL points count? A lot to reflect on as we say goodbye to a really good, totally not deranged individual who was ROBBED of a chance at another term in Headhunters. 
== In Memoriam: Hasta Laviska Baby ==
Finally, a team name that writes the jokes so I don't have to. This week we say hasta la vista to Hasta Laviska and once again we had a nailbiter elimination. Last week, this team put up over 150 points. This week, they started a new and improved lineup. Instead of Landry and Hilton, it was Michael Thomas and Mike Evans. Instead of Nyheim Hines it was Aaron Jones. Instead of AJ Dillon it was David Montgomery. With upgrades like these, you'd think that this team would at least his 150 again, but alas they could not. 
The math just did not add up. Michael Thomas, Chris Godwin and Aaron Jones were coming off injury. Montgomery got hurt, Fant got hurt. Too many things working against them. They are lucky they got over 50 points from Josh Allen or this one would have been really ugly. 
Still, they had a shot heading into Monday night football, but Damien Harris had it another way. He scratched and clawed for his points on behalf of Blitz! before leaving the game late with an injury. Had the injury happened early, we'd be singing a different tune.
Similar to last week's elimination of Henry VIII, you get the feeling they were one more week away from reaching their full potential. Jarvis Landry and Miles Sanders were on a bye this week, so next week they'd have gotten those two guys back and had their elite players coming off injury with an extra week of practice and a return game behind them. 
But if if was a skiff we could all go for a ride. And this ride has come to an end. An improvement over last year for Jared, but a beheading nonetheless.

*Perhaps more shocking than the players that went are the ones that went for free: Robert Woods, Travis Fulgham, Justin Herbert, and Damien Harris. Fo Free!
*Last year there was the DJ Moore curse. This year, is there the David Montgomery curse? This is the third week in a row that the team with David Montgomery was eliminated. 
*By spending $17 on Robby Anderson, Carole Pigskin has now exhausted all her funds for 2020. This is a tough development but not a death sentence. The first bullet point proves there is plenty of talent out there for free.
*Coach and Gore were 2nd in a combined 7 bids this week.

== Kings of the Castle ==
===1. The Guilloteam===
Back-to-back first place finishes is enough to propel this team to first in the overall standings and place a target clearly on their back. They are the team to beat. 
===2. Gore-ronavirus===
Lurking close behind Guilloteam is their arch nemesis, Gore. Gore missed on some bids this week that would have given them an even greater edge, but the bids they won have put them in near bankruptcy .
===3. @FFDraftScott===
Nice seeing what Scott is capable of after an early bounce last season. Second overall with enough money to out-bid the other top-five teams, Scott is not done making moves just yet.
===4. Last Coach Standing===
The little coach engine that could, Coach chuggs on with a scrappy team of Hayden Hurst, MaMycal Hasty, Chase Edmonds, Antonio Brown, and Justin Jackson. Not exactly championship caliber, but it was good enough for this top five finish.
===5. Clydesdales===
After flying under the radar most of the season, Clydesdales was very active in the waiver wire this week and brought in some massive talent to improve their team. They finished around the same as last week, but they haven't been at risk of elimination since September and they seem to only be getting better.
== On the Chopping Block ==
===9. It's Blitz! Track 2===
Too close for comfort two weeks in a row for Track 2. They need to remember to place their bids this week or that immunity idol is going to need to get played. 
===8. Carole Pigskin===
Averaging just 162 a game and came in below average with 151 this week, Carole is in the tough position of having a roster built entirely from boom-or-bust players. Kirk, Claypool, Chark, Dobbins, to name a few. Make the right start every week, they could win it all. Make one mistake, it could be time to go home.
===7. Ya Hate 2 See It===
Another decent performance from G but huge names on the bye this week: Tyreek Hill, Zeke Elliot, Calvin Ridley. You have to imagine they'd be feeling a lot better if they had not spent so much on Tyreek a few weeks ago. Expect activity from them in the bidding wars to come.
===6. Out of Luck===
At one point it looked like this may be a close call for Out of Luck, but Sunday night and Monday night games were underwhelming fantasy-wise and turns out they would have even been safe for a double-elimination. I ragged on them for Will Fuller but turns out he was right...at least for this week.
