Headhunters 2: The 2020 Championship

== Introduction ==
It was a fantastic season of LOC headhunters, with come from behind victories and dramatic finishes. Who could forget the Kenyan Drake run to end the Arizona/Dallas game that sent Livewithit packing? Or the quadruple photo finish that took down Henry VIII in a double elimination week? Zach used his immunity idol when he didn't need to, the two 2019 runner-ups were bounced on the same week, Out of Luck bid his last $100 on a player no one else wanted, two chicks made the top 10 before the Fantasy Gods realized their mistake and cut their asses. Two teams that didn't survive September last made it all the way to December. Two teams who made it all the way to December last year didn't make it out of October. It was wild, it was unpredictable, and most of all it was fun. At least for me, except for then I was broken by that whole quadruple elim that I mentioned earlier.
But now we are down to the final week, a showdown between two (maybe unexpected) teams. One was nearly taken out a few times, while the other has slowly built a powerhouse. 
Before we get into the final showdown, we FINALLY say goodbye to the defending champ.
== In Memoriam: It's Blitz! Track 2 ==
The time has come to switch to track 3 and look forward to next season. Blitz had been running it back all season, capitalizing on player acquisitions for low bids and surviving on weeks when they could not get any new waiver adds. One week, they forgot to put in claims completely, which led to them finally using their idol. By doing this, Blitz was able to save up his money for the final push. Last year, they entered the final week with $53 compared to just $1 for Gore-ronavirus and $0 for Guilloteam. For $2 a pop, Zach was able to grab any player they wanted. With plenty to spare, they put together a roster that could not be beat. But that strategy fell through this year when they went big on Keenan Allen ($99) and Dalvin Cook ($69-nice). 
The two players are obviously juggernauts, but when other teams were able to continue rostering up, Blitz could not compete. Injuries piled up at the worst time. No Julio Jones, no Zeke Elliot, Cam Akers taken out mid-game, Keenan Allen limited, and there was also no need for Davante Adams to be involved in an easy game for Green Bay. 
As happy as I am to have a new champion, a part of me was hoping we would see Blitz in the championship game with a chance to repeat. He was the LOC's final rep and he made the league proud. Congrats on a great run and we will see you next year.

== 2020 Championship Winnings ==
Now I know that Derek and Coach Tebo will be disappointed to find that we are not playing for money this year yet again. I feel bad about that after everyone's hard work, but this was just year two of the test period for Headhunters. Beginning in 2021, we will have a buy-in. Whatever the buy-in happens to be, the winner of this week's championship will not have to pay. 
The 2020 Headhunters Champion thus receives:
# ONE free entry into the 2021 Headhunters season
# ONE Immunity Idol to be used once between weeks 1-12 of 2021, OR sold for fantasy bucks, OR traded for players/picks
Prize pack valued at $10, no sign up necessary, must be 18 years or older. All players within the continental United States eligible to enter. Prices and availability may vary. Limited time offer.

== Week Fifteen & Sixteen Bidding Results ==
Week Fifteen/Sixteen Bidding Results
Player 	Winning Team	Winning Bid	Next Highest Bid
DK Metcalf (WK15)	Clydesdales 	$1 	None
Patrick Mahomes 	Clydesdales 	$1 	None
Travis Kelce 	Clydesdales 	$1 	None
*With $2 left to spend, Clydesdales made it count. He opted to bring in Kelce and Mahomes, a potent 1-2 punch. But Last Coach Standing perhaps had the better advantage as he was first in waiver priority. 
*Coach Tebo, with his waiver priority, added Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, Dalvin Cook, and Tyreek Hill. 
*Notable players that are NOT ROSTERED heading into week 16: Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Tyler Lockett, James Robinson, AJ Brown, Robert Woods, Ezekiel Elliot. All players with over 250 fantasy points on the season.

== How it Started/How it's Going ==
As we head into the final week of the season, let's look at how the roster has changed over the course of the sixteen week season for the two surviving teams. 
===1. Clydesdales (2754.09 Points)===
Week 1 vs. Week 16 Roster (Clydesdales)
Week One 	Position	Week Sixteen
Matthew Stafford 	QB 	Patrick Mahomes
Terry McLaurin 	WR1 	DeAndre Hopkins
Allen Robinson 	WR2 	Allen Robinson
Clyde Edwards-Helaire	RB1 	Alvin Kamara
Ronald Jones II 	RB2 	Derrick Henry
Jared Cook 	TE 	Travis Kelce
Tony Pollard 	FLEX1 	Nick Chubb
Breshad Perriman 	FLEX2 	David Montgomery
Zach Pascal 	FLEX3 	Josh Jacobs
KC 	DEF 	LAR
Deebo Samuel 	BENCH1 	DK Metcalf
Royce Freeman 	BENCH2 	Michael Thomas
Ke'Shawn Vaughn 	BENCH3 	Terry McLaurin
Justice Hill 	BENCH4 	Mike Evans
Cameron Brate 	BENCH5 	Christian McCaffrey
Joe Burrow 	BENCH6 	Mark Andrews
N/A 	BENCH7 	George Kittle
 
Allen Robinson has remained but almost all else has changed. McLaurin has been demoted to the bench. Most others have been dropped. It is notable that Clydesdales is starting five runningbacks, whereas below you will see Coach starting five. This speaks to just how important that position is, with the top tier guys outperforming every other position. Clydesdales also has, arguably, the three best TE's heading into the season. Kittle is on IR, hence why he has a 7th bench spot, while Mark Andrews has been disappinting. Kelce has awed yet again in 2020.
===2. Last Coach Standing (2727.33 Points)===
Week 1 vs. Week 16 Roster (Last Coach Standing)
Week One 	Position	Week Sixteen
Tyrod Taylor 	QB 	Aaron Rodgers
Tyler Boyd 	WR1 	Calvin Ridley
Sammy Watkins 	WR2 	Tyreek Hill
Kenyan Drake 	RB1 	Dalvin Cook
Kareem Hunt 	RB2 	Miles Sanders
Will Dissly 	TE 	Darren Waller
Marquez Valdes-Scantling	FLEX1 	Davante Adams
Diontae Johnson 	FLEX2 	Aaron Jones
Austin Ekeler 	FLEX3 	Austin Ekeler
PHI 	DEF 	BAL
Brandin Cooks 	BENCH1 	Stefon Diggs
Golden Tate 	BENCH2 	Justin Jefferson
Justin Jackson 	BENCH3 	Brandon Aiyuk
David Njoku 	BENCH4 	Kenyan Drake
Darren Fells 	BENCH5 	Jonathan Taylor
Daniel Jones 	BENCH6 	CLE
 Yes, there once existed a time when Tyrod Taylor was a starting QB. It seems like a lifetime ago. 
Tebo also has direct upgrades at two WR positions, moving from Watkins to Hill and MVS to Davante Adams. Elsewhere, players who were week 1 starters like Drake are now riding the pine. Austin Ekeler is the lone remaining talent from week one, which is ironic because he missed almost every week in between.
