Headhunters 3: The Final Four

==Introduction==
Down to the Final Four and with COVID, injuries, cold weather, and an extra week looming for all teams, this season is as unpredictable as ever. 
==In Memorium: The Titanic==
It certainly seemed like if there was a week to get out The Titanic, it would be this one.
They started off the season on the bottom, pleading for an alliance with someone in order to advance. When no alliance materialized, they spent big to bring in talent like Austin Ekeler, Antonio Brown, Javonte Williams, and Hunter Renfrow. The grabs were enough to keep Titanic afloat, and as the season progressed they became better and better at capitalizing on free agent acquisitions and cheap waiver options. 
When we got into November, that's when Titanic really began to impress. In one week they picked up Hockenson, Lamar Jackson, and Adam Thielen for free. They swapped a bench guy for Tony Pollard, who blew up, and on December 8th they picked up Mike Evans and Deebo Samual..again, for free. 
Especially shocking is that throughout all of this, Out of Luck was doing things like: adding Jerry Jeudy (the same day as Evens and Deebo went to Titanic), paying 166 for Darrel Williams, and starting Zach Ertz at tight end. Given that information, you'd be forgiven if you thought that this was the week for Out of Luck to get sent packing. 
But Titanic hit a few ice bergs on their journey through week 14. Jonathan Taylor was on the bye. Tony Pollard got hurt and was out. And worst of all, Lamar Jackson was knocked out of his game extremely early and finished with just 2.56 points. That's honestly the worst of it all because you can't do anything about it. At least if he got hurt in practice you can pick another guy up. 
Meanwhile, Out of Luck was dead in the water with just 92.98 points heading into Sunday Night. That was when Adams, Rodgers, and GB defense combined for a whopping 115.94 points, ascending them to the final four. 
Titanic's last hope was that Return of the Mac would have a rough night, but Cooper Kupp did Cooper Kupp things, and the combined effort of Kyler Murray & Sony Michel was more than enough to put them over the egde.
Ultimately, it was Titanic's best season. I definitely saw the type of hustle that usually separates the sheeps from GOATs in fantasy. But in headhunters, overcoming one week can prove difficult for even the most savvy managers.

====Quick-hit thoughts====
*Sloppy Seconds in a position to big dog everybody and just slinging his money around like Jeff Besos. I mean, you can't take it with you, and if there was any time to come over the top on everyone remaining in the league it's this week with Jonathan Taylor. Curious to see how he plays it. 
*You know we're in the final month when first round RBs are going for $1 and there are no competitive bids.

Still have teams from the top and from the bottom of the draft alive. This really is one of the most pointless things I track. 
==Kings of the Castle==
=== 1. RemDawg Forever ===
Fine, you want me to say it RemDawg? You want me to give you props? Fine. I will. Good work. You nailed it. Everything I said about you buying little rinky dink players for like $12 here, $20 there, apparently it has worked. Compliment given. But just be warned, any time I stop hating on someone and start believing in them they go home. So count your blessings my friend.
=== 2. Sloppy Seconds ===
Sloppy overtook Titanic by 10 points to end the week at the top of the season standings, and with $116 left they can basically do whatever they want. They broke 250 this week with DeAndre Hopkins and Saquon Barkley on their bench. Just to be clear, I'm not saying they had great days. I'm just saying that two first round picks were hand selected to remain on the bench. If they end up in a waiver war in the next three weeks they will easily lose priority to the other remaining teams but their team is already fucking insane so who cares? 
=== 3. Return of the Mac ===
Has a lot of stock in the West (five players in the NFC, 3 in the AFC) but the air is thinner out there so maybe that's a good thing. They've got $6 left and the state of this league indicates that it's enough to bring in 6 starters. It's hard to really say much else here because Return of the Mac has managed to both underperform all season and also make it into the final four. They are an enigma, just like the team below them...
=== 4. Out of Luck ===
Let me get this out of the way for those who don't know my dad: he has the same passionate love/hate with Fantasy Football as the rest of us. Please do not mistake his lack of aggression on the free agent market as a sign of him not caring. He cares so much that I worry about his health. He simply does not grasp Headhunters, even after a second consecutive top-five finish. He has this mentality of "I'm out of money, oh well guess I don't get any players." But somehow the Gods continue to smile down on him. He is here by some miracle and shit at this rate you might as well pencil him into the Big Three because he is untouchable apparently.
