Headhunters 4: The Extra Eleven

==Introduction==
It could have been the most dramatic Monday night elimination in league history. Two arch fantasy football rivals going back and forth to stave off death, both considered top teams in the league and both a play away from going home at any given moment. But instead, the Wheel of Fate had other plans and deCaPitated got the best wedding gift anybody could ask for: a stay of execution in the final hour. Week six became the first of two non-elimination weeks in 2022. The other is already pre-set for week 10. But we still have stats to go over and nothing comes free. People who were hoping for the fresh meat on the waiver wire will need to survive one more week.

====Quick-Hit Thoughts====
* All that money and nothing to spend it on. Henry VIII went a little crazy with some mid-range overbids on McLaurin, Pierce, and Hurst, while coming up just short of winning big fish like Walker and CEH.
*Bad Boys is the latest to fall victim to the Matthew Stafford illusion. The guy might just not be good and should just accept that. Everyone else in this league seemed content to pass and let Bad Boys burn $151, despite this being a superflex. That tells you a lot.
*This was Bad Boys week: he finished 1st or 2nd in nine bidding battles.
*$550 for Mahomes is a new QB record. I'm not entirely sure how Bad Boys was going to pay $369 (damn she fine) when he has less than $200 left but math is for the birds.

==Kings of the Castle ==
Down was up this week as some of the bottom-dwellers finally popped off and some of the league's top teams struggled to survive.
=== 1. Bad Boys II - The Soundtrack===
Bad Boys would have done even better if he had started Justin Fields over Matthew Stafford and Aiyuk over Kirk, two moves that don't make any logical sense except in hindsight. It was a great day because all the stars came out and shined. Hill 37, Chase 40, Kamara 23, Eteienne, 20, Diggs 35. All over projection. And you know what? Let's be kind. Kyle Pitts scored 11, which is also over projection because Yahoo disrespected the shit out of him with a projection of 9.30. 
=== 2. Beach McBungalow===
The Cooper Rush experiment might be over but the Kenneth "RUSHer" Walker experience has only just begun. And McBungalow may not be able to pick up anyone on waivers, but will gain Winston, Taylor, and Olive from the bench. Very strong team with money left to blow. 
===3. Hasta Laviska Baby===
Hasta is the first team to ever survive six weeks without spending a single dollar. I don't know if they can expect 68 combined points every week from Bailey Zappe and Marcus Mariota, and It's a bit week-to-week with TE Evan Engram, but they have a few weeks of respite before byes start to kick back in. Getting Carr and Jacobs back should help them survive until another round of bidding commences next Tuesday. Now they just have to remember that the bidding is in fact on TUESDAY. 
===4. Muller Lite===
Nobody was more upset than Lite about this being a non-elimination week. He finally cracks top five, and it doesn't really matter. But hey, wouldn't you rather your team played well no matter what? Has to feel good for Kittle and Lazard to both break projection in tough defensive games, and for Najee Harris to not totally blow. They'll have to decide what to do with Dak Prescott this week as he's listed "QUESTIONABLE" and no longer IR eligible. 
===5. Laser Rocket Arms===
It's the worst-case scenario for Laser Rocket Arms. No new players on waivers for their giant bye week. Cook, Brown, Allen, and Goedert all off this week, and they don't have another TE rostered. I guess it's Gesicki time? Can you imagine if a team this loaded got released into open waters next week? Nobody would have any money left. 
==On the Chopping Block==
===11. deCaPitated===
We sort of saw this coming. Big wedding week, maybe he's not paying close attention. Lot of guys on the bye. But hey, someone was going to get saved this season. Similar to Rocket Arms, CP has an IR decision to make. They will be unable to make a roster add/drop/trade until they move Freiermuth out of IR. Do they have a roster in place to stash him for one more week, or are they going to make a cut? 
=== 10. The Guilloteam===
Would have survived by a narrow 0.24 points if this had been an elimination week. Not exactly how you wanted things to go after spending over $500 to snag your shiny new QB. Five players scored less than five points, including maybe the worst trio of WRs in the starting lineups this week (Moore, Sutton, Williams). Melvin Gordon got benched for some reason, leaving him with 1.15 points, which would have created even more drama had this been a true elimination week. 
=== 9. Henry VIII===
The first truly bad week for Henry came when he lost yet another QB to concussion mid-game. He also lost Hollywood Brown until at least week 11, at which point it may not even be worth rostering him. But Henry is set up nicely with the return of Tua and a favorable matchup for his NE defense on MNF. 
===8. burrow for sure-oh===
It was 55 points in Burrow's return to Louisiana and not a whole lot else for Sure-Oh this week. Watching Carson Wince on Thursday night was excruciating. Have I already done a Carson Wince joke? if so, just laugh anyway. And Isaiah McKenzie dropped more balls than the co-worker who misfiled his TPS reports last quarter. Who knows what the hell is happening with Antonio Gibson, and Taysom Hill is maybe one of the most frustrating fantasy football start/sits of the season. All told, it was a good week to have a bad week.
===7. Wildcat (no QBs no problem)===
Somehow, some way, this team is still kicking. Their QBs are extraordinarily bad, but balance at other positions seems to have bailed them out for now. Unfortunately, week seven hits them hard with byes and they are down Sanders/Thielen, who helped lead them in scoring week six. They also might be one of the few teams who does not check Facebook, so it is hard to say if they are even aware there won't be new players on waivers this week.

I appreciate Glorio spreading the love: ten different people have gotten a taste of a gut-wrenching loss. And if we extended this list, we could add a few more victims. In total, there have been 22 losses by less than 10 points.
