Headhunters 3: The Hawaii Five-0

## Introduction

Oh great and merciful Fantasy Gods, rulers of all, just and kind. We come here today to honor you, to thank you, to reaffirm our belief in you. You are wise. You are holy. And we are yours, eternally.

## In Memorium: Bad VRs

We all know it. I don't need to beat around the bush. We felt it last night, and probably again this morning. This was the big one. This was the white whale. Everyone wanted to beat Bad VRs. It's a testament to how good their strategy was, how effective their merger and auctions were, and how much of a villain they became. Everyone wants to win, but I think anyone who outlasted Bad VRs has a little added satisfaction. They get eliminated now, at least they beat the alliance teams. And really the hatred towards them should be taken as a compliment, not a diss. It was them vs. the world. No one hates the Jaguars (except maybe Jags fans). People hate the Patriots. They hate winners. They hate the top dawgs. Bad VRs was the favored to win it all and now....now who the hell knows what is going to happen?

Real quick: where do you think Bad VRs went awry? Having Chubb and Rodgers and Jones on the bye certainly didn't help. Losing Deebo didn't help. But they were still projected for 238 points. I personally think putting all your fantasy eggs in the same average Kansas City basket was what did them in. Going against Denver, which isn't really the best matchup, and starting all three key members of the KC offense, it was just not the best situation in a league this small. I do think this was more of a play out of necessity than genius (clearly), but there still was plenty of juice on the waivers to maybe avoid this situation. Of course, who do you sit? You can't sit Kelce. You can't sit Hill. And both sucked. So who knows.

The best part is when their only hope of survival hinged on the Buffalo defense getting decimated by the Patriots on Monday night football. Patriots did us all a favor by both winning and also not having a great offensive night.

For Chantel, only a slight improvementupon her 2020 finish. Still more than a lot of other teams can say. They started the year by kicking out Bobecue Chicken, only to still somehow be out-lived by him. Cruel sport.

For KVR, you have to wonder if they have what it takes to compete in this league. Lot of off-season questions for this guy.

Ultimately, who cares? We're not here to read. We're here to celebrate. Ding dong, the witch is dead.

Bad VRs:

## Dead Money

Keeping track of all the cash that never got spent by teams that are now eliminated.

Dead Money

## Week Fourteen-Seventeen

Four weeks left in the season. One team cut each week until a champion is crowned.

## New Releases

In addition to this week's new releases, Amari Cooper is still available via auction from Return of the Mac. Since his game was Thursday, he did not clear waivers in time and so he will clear with the new releases. The minimum bid is $30.

1. Tyreek Hill
2. Nick Chubb
3. Eli Mitchell
4. Stefon Diggs
5. Travis Kelce

## Week Thirteen Bidding Results

#### Quick-hit thoughts

* All that money and ultimatley, Bad VRs didn't know what to do with it. Just throwing shit all over the place in a week when top 10 players are being scooped up for free. Sad way to go out.
* Sloppy upgrading from AJ Green to Hopkins for $13 is a great move.
* Derrick Henry, out for the season, costing more than Zeke Elliot is bananas.
* Players that went for free this week include: James Conner, Tyler Lockett, Melvin Gordon, Tony Pollard, and Tom Brady.
* Mac dropped DJ Moore after spending only a buck on him. He was later picked up for free by The Titanic. Something to note.

Last Year's most expensive week twelve player: Davante Adams ($99)

## Kings of the Castle

No time this week but just assume everyone still in it has done a good job so far.

## Average Scores of Eliminated Teams

Nearly identical scoring average for the two teams eliminated this week as they finish within three points of each other on the overall season scoring.

## Rulers of the Kingdom

2021 first place finishers:

Mac is narrowly beaten out for the top score of all time by 2020's week 14 performance from Derek, a 290.73 week. Still a great week and Mac goes from Dungeon Dweller to King.

## Dungeon Dwellers

2021 teams that finished second-to-last, narrowly avoiding elimination:

## Single Season Scoring Records

As teams get eliminated their season will be added to the record books. Even surviving an extra two weeks, Bad VRs just barely top Keeling's 2021 record. I can't believe how good that team was...

## All-Time Combined Points Scored

As teams get eliminated, their updated totals will be added to the record books. While both teams breach the top-10, neither is close to hitting the top-3. Mac had an insane performance this week and now I don't know exactly how high the ceiling is for this team. They've already become just the fourth team to break 6,000 total points. They'll need to average an un-obtainable 305.60 to finish atop this list, but top-3 is well within reach.
