Headhunters 2: The Magnificent Seven

== Introduction ==
Magnificent. That's a weird word to spell. Feels like it should be magnificant. Wait, it is? Spellcheck isn't correcting either word. Hm. Something is up.
Anyway, we are down to seven teams, with a double elimination coming in week twelve to get us down to just five squads competing for the award of...? Not sure. We need a name for the championship. Send suggestions. Sole Survivor?
I think it is safe to say that the league is a success. I haven't had any complaints about the way the league functions and with the updated Commish features it has become increasingly easy for me to cut rosters of eliminated teams. I'm not sure if you all noticed, but it also seems like Yahoo has gotten better about updating the scores as the day progresses.
All that being said, I think next season we're going to convert this to a money league with a $10-$15 buy-in. Sole Survivor takes home around $200. It's tough to set a limit because you're asking people to put in money for a league they may only play for one week, but I think $10 is a reasonable jumping off point.
Once again, feel free to comment your thoughts and I'd love any feedback.
Now, as far as week eleven's action. It may have been single elimination, but technically we are saying goodbye to two people this week (one is just inside the other, a la "Being John Malkovich").
== In Memoriam: Carole Pigskin ==
I'd be lion if I said that I thought this team had a gazelle's chance in Africa of winning it all in 2020, but top 8 is still a hell of a run for the first-timer. 
Carole remained competitive right up until the end, finishing in 1st place just last week. They did so with a combo of big performances from Alvin Kamara, Tom Brady, and the return of Nick Chubb.  
But this week, things did not go their way. Kamara was held in check as Michael Thomas experienced his first breakout game of 2020. Rainy conditions in Phi vs. CLE limited the entire offense, and Chubb was held 10 points below his week 10 performance. Brady, fresh off a 50 point game, threw two picks and finished 9 below his projection.  
The sad truth, perhaps the saddest in all of sports, is the knowledge that the win was on the bench. Tim Patrick went off for 26.70, but Carole opted for Rex Burkhead and his 4.08 points in the flex (exited due to injury). Or perhaps the start could have been JK Dobbins (23.70) over Christian Kirk (10.60). Who knows, you make the decision and you live with the results. It may have only delayed the inevitable, as many teams remain with money and powerhouse rosters.  
We also say goodbye to her unborn child, who now must be born into a world where neither parent survived the Wheel of Fate. 
Until next time.

*This is the most obvious instance yet of teams adapting and improving from 2019. In week 11 of 2019, It's Blitz! won Zeke for $69, outbidding just $18. This year, it took $169 for the same player and they were just the third most expensive player of the week.
*Scotty missed out on Tyreek Hill by just $1.

== Kings of the Castle ==
===1. The Guilloteam===
Guilloteam is so far-and-away the best team in Headhunters that it makes you wonder what terrible fate awaits him in the final weeks. Even the best teams drop duds in the late stages of the season, will his come at the wrong time?  
===2. @FFDraftScott===
Missing out on Hill by $1 has to hurt, but settling for Calvin Ridley isn't the worst fate for a team already rolling out Lockett, AJ Brown, and DJ Moore. Will their final $98 go towrds a RB to compliment Antonio Gibson, a TE to replace TJ Hockenson, or will they bolster their flex positions and make a run with what they've got?
===3. Out of Luck===
Inspired by Mike McCarthy smashing watermelons (2020, huh?), CeeDee Lamb came through with 22.5 points in the flex to compliment a monster 39 from Thielen and another 30 from Derrick Henry. But Thielen is in COVID protocol and there isn't much on the bench if he can't go on Sunday.
===4. Gore-ronavirus===
Has not been as good since they changed their name but it's not too late to change it back. If they know what is good for them they will do it immediately because the Gods don't play.
== On the Chopping Block ==
===7. Clydesdales===
They have swapped out almost their entire roster since week one and yet still came close to elimination this week. Part of the problem was underperformance by RoJo (3.80) and Gurley (5.25), playing games in which they threw from behind. With Josh Allen and Allen Robinson back this week, look for this team to rebound. 
===6. It's Blitz! Track 2===
Week twelve is the last week they would have been able to use their immunity idol, so if they survive this next cut they will have not wasted their trophy. But if they get clipped by the double-elim, it will be a long off-season before Track 3.
===5. Last Coach Standing===
How long can they get away with Diontae Johnson as their top-scoring WR and Kareem Hunt/Chase Edmonds as their top-scoring RBs?
