Headhunters 3: The Sweet Sixteen

==Introduction==
We're in the month of October, which can only mean one thing: it's time for people to actually start getting chopped in Headhunters! This week, the scares got so real for Its Blitz! Track 2 that they should change their team name to It's Blitz! Track BOO! 
==In Memorium: It's Blitz! Track 2==
It's time to skip to Track 3 for It's Blitz! The 2019 champion was coming off another strong year in which they posted the 7th-highest single season score in LOC history. However, injuries threw Blitz off track in 2021 and doomed them to an early exit. 
Perhaps it's poetic justice: the team that openly proclaimed that they would outlast the Matt and VR Alliances becomes the first team to actually be eliminated (when you take away all the chaos of last week). Or maybe it's an injustice. After all, every team that finished last in September got bailed out. Is it right that Blitz wasn't given an option to continue like everyone else? Should teams just continue rolling in to each other until we come down to two teams, each run by 10 managers? The half of the league that wins takes home $30 each. The losers just roll in to the winning team and face off against the computer during week 18. Everyone is a winner! 
But really this loss comes down to injuries. AJ Bown and Jarvis Landry should have been PPR machines, and if just one of the two could have played instead of Collin Johnson (WHO?) than Blitz very well could still have his head. He didn't end up losing by that much. Sadly, the team he was jockying with for position had Derek Carr going on MNF. This limited his chances since his remaining player was Hunter Renfrow, who did all his could with 19.10 points. But he needed about 20 more than that. 
So now we say goodbye to our third Warwick Vet graduate. The numbers are dwindling on that front. We also say goodbye to a person who is a fellow commissioner, and some may even say a visionary. I look forward to working with Blitz next year on new amendments to the league. 
But we're still in this year. And this year:

====Quick-hit thoughts====
*Last week we had our first ever player auction. Bad VRs put Zeke on the block with a starting bid of $400. How it worked was that whoever bid highest got the player while the funds all went to Bad VRs. It's an interesting dynamic. You want the player, but you're also infusing a rival team with a ton of cash. In this case, Dere-Lick WAY overbid for Zeke Elliot. It basically sucked the team dry of funds while nearly doubling Bad VRs bank account. I don't get the move. Dere-Lick was already the league's best team.
*CP has yet again changed his name to DeCaPitated, which is clever. However, I cannot stand when people keep changing their name mid-season and CP does it EVERY. SINGLE. SEASON. So just like last year, I will continue to call them by the name they started with, which is CP.
*CP with a weird $12 random bid on Peyton Barber.
*My dad texted me that he had discovered a random player named Kenneth "Gain Well" and it warmed my heart. You do you, Dad.
Last Year's most expensive week two player: Davante Adams ($420).

==Kings of the Castle==
===1. Hasta Laviska Baby ===
A name that is so good that Jared had no choice to keep it even though he doesn't own Laviska this year. It cannot be overstated how well Jared is playing across all fantasy platforms this season. It's almost like someone showed him how to mock and it turns out preparing even a little bit for the season can help your performance.
===2. Bad VRs===
While the Matt Alliance may have been formed out of desperation, the Van Rossum alliance was for sure a VR thirst for ultimate power. Thus far it is paying off as they are a powerhouse in the Double-H.
===3. I Can Dere-lick My Own Balls===
I already said how I don't think that spending most of your money on one player is worth it, especially if you expect to be aronud in the end when everyone has four or five top-20 players. But that being said, it's hard to argue with 65 combined points from Elliot and Henry.
===4. Ya Hate 2 See It===
Welcome to the party, Hate 2 See It. Just like last year, Hate 2 See It is flying under the rader. They've been consistent and decent enough to rank in the top-5 on the season, but they have yet to really have a monster game that would draw some eyes. He's just got a bunch of grinders on his squad, 15-20 point players like Pollard, Schultz, Sermon. Oh and Hill dropping a billion helps.
===5. The Titanic===
Do you believe in miracles? MAYBE! The Titanic was ready to sink themselves just so that they could maybe get bailed out with a merge. Now look at them. Fifth place finish and ranked top ten in scoring overall. They've already used up half their budget but this is a case of early spending to prevent early exit and so far so good with that plan. Better to be broke than dead, right?
==On the Chopping Block==
===16. Shotti's Bugatti===
A small late surge by Carr bailed out what was nearly a shocking MNF exit for Shotti. Blame this week on really underwhelming shows from Kelce and Thielen. 
===15. Return of the Mac===
After nearly getting beheaded last week before being saved by the merge, Mac once again finds themselves on the Egde of Extinction. Could be whipping out the checkbook in week five. 
===14. Last Matts Standing===
A good week to have a bad week, Last Matts were perfectly content with letting it ride in week five with a low risk lineup. Granted, any time you fall 60 points below projection it's a red flag. But we move on. 
===13. Who the Fuck are all of you?===
REAL fall back down to Earth for Who the Fuck this week. Bacon gets his first real taste of just how volatile the scoring can be in the Double-H, especially in the early goings. 
===12. Neck-Fix and Chill===
After a hot start, Neck-Fix has finished 12th with approx. 160 points in back-to-back weeks. The Patriots Duo of Agholor and Bourne in the flex is a funny little duo but the real excitement for Chill was the out-of-nowhere explosion of Alex Collins. Projected for less than one point and finished with almost 19, did Neck-Fix stumble into a hidden gem of a flex guy?
