Headhunters 3: The Big Three

== Introduction ==
I'm in the money, I'm in the money...ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.
Anyone else remember the 1988 Looney Tunes vehicle "Quackbusters?" I fucking loved that movie as a kid. In the scene where Daffy's business takes off he starts singing "I'm in the money, I'm in the money." That's all I can think about this morning as we are down to the final three and for the first time we have a payout in Headhunters. The person who finishes third will get their money back (unless you are Sloppy Seconds who bought in twice or RemDawg who bought in once at 50% value. So really just Mac would get their money back, Rem would get his money back and some of my money, and Sloppy will still be in the red). 
==In Memorium: Out of Luck==
No one can explain how Out of Luck made it this far. In a four-team league, Out of Luck was still starting Hunter Renfrow and Devonta Freeman. Granted, they were hot hands, but there's really no need to be starting anyone but the cream of the crop. 
That being said, this was a very down week. 3rd place RemDawg only scored 217.06, 2nd place 217.68. 2nd place last week scored 253.85. So Papa was within striking distance and was doomed by start/sit decisions. If only Freeman had been benched for James Robinson. Or Ertz for Chase. That's a 32.13 point difference in a game they lost by 36.86. I'm sure there could have been a way to pick up four points somewhere but I'm not going into it that deep. Maybe if Godwin hadn't been K.O'ed for the season he could have nabbed an extra couple passes. Revisionist history but that's what we do here. Considering how average his team is, that's pretty impressive that he remained within reach of advancement.
It would have been pretty incredible if they made it to the very end, but their season was still impressive in its averageness.

====Quick-hit thoughts====
*Perhaps the biggest under-the-radar turning point in the season occurred during the bidding wars. Sloppy has more money than God and can go over the top on everyone with just 7 small dollars. But he messed up his Austin Ekeler bid, instead putting two bids on another player. Because of this, Mac snacked Ekeler for a single dollar. It was an unbelievable snafu but we will have to wait and see if it has any effect on the outcome of the season.

==Kings of the Castle==
===1. Sloppy Seconds===
King Sloppy will be get to take Davante Adams and maybe a scrap or two for his bench, bolstering a seemingly unbeatable force as we reach the endgame. But maybe losing Out of Luck wasn't the best for Sloppy since he can't use his pot of gold to grab a ton of elite players. 
===2. Return of the Mac===
The beneficiary of the Ekeler debacle, Mac broke 200 with no help from Tom Brady or CeeDee Lamb. Arizona defense got gashed by Detroit and nearly his entire RB corp outside of Austin failed to reach projection (Cook, Monty, Chubb, CEH on his bench, Henderson on his bench, and Gibson on his bench). If you were going to have an off week, this was the time. Now he will need to hope his guys (and really the entire league) bounced back for the semifinal showdown. 
===3. RemDawg Forever===
Really tough week for Remy. Lost Fournette to injury, James Conner was a DNP on Tuesday, Lockett had COVID. nd what do you do about Patrick Mahomes with half the offense on COVID-IR? Be interesting to see how the updated rules gets people back on the field in time for Sunday.

Out of Luck doesn't do enough to top The Titanic's three-season score, but he does log a top-five score. Mac survives another week and continues to climb towards 7,000. Another decent performance this week will put him over Zach for third on the list.
