Headhunters 2: The Final Four

## Introduction

The final four is set and we have a diverse bunch. I mean, all white dudes between like 29-30. But...other stuff about it is diverse. Their rosters are totally different!?

## In Memoriam: Out of Luck

The great part of this team is no matter when they get eliminated I can still do luck puns. Yup, finally out of luck! Got him.

But the reality of this is luck had nothing to do with it. It was laziness. Okay, maybe not laziness. Obliviousness? Out of Luck literally FORGOT they were still in this league. Totally unexpected success led this team to block out Headhunters in their brain. They full expected to be out the first month and instead had a real shot at winning it all, but didn't place any waiver claims in week thirteen and as such they headed into the competition with the same roster they had in the round of seven. In a five-team league, is there really a good excuse to roll out Christian Kirk, Dallas Goedert, and Nyheim Hines?

That being said, they still could have made it to the top four if they had started Gallup over Mike Williams and Jonathan Taylor over Christian Kirk. So despite the terrible week, the win was still there for the taking. Ultimately, the Fantasy Gods decided that if you aren't going to pay attention than you don't deserve to stay in the dance.

Until next time.

## New Releases

Unlike last season, when Blitz could come over the top on Gore-ronavirus and Guilloteam in the top three, we have four teams battling it out almost exclusively based on waiver priority. I do say "almost" exclusively though...

1. Derrick Henry
2. Adam Thielen
3. Chris Carson
4. Russell Wilson
5. CeeDee Lamb

Kind of gross selections, huh?

## Week Thirteen Bidding Results

Last Year's most expensive week thirteen player: Michael Thomas ($11)

* Oh no! What was Blitz doing!? Terrified that Scott would out-bid him on at least one of the remaining big name players, Blitz max-bid on three players expecting to win at least one. Instead, Scott out-maneuvered him and can now take any player he chooses for the rest of the season!
* Best Players picked up for free: Josh Jacobs, James Robinson, Justin Jefferson, Darren Waller, Robert Woods, Stefon Diggs, Michael Thomas

## Kings of the Castle

### 1. It's Blitz! Track 2

For the second week in a row, Blitz winds up in the top spot. His team has grown powerful, but his pockets have emptied. Does his roster, which is now so packed that his BENCH players are Zeke, Juju, Kupp, and Lamar Jackson, have repeat potential?

### 2. Last Coach Standing

The stock is RISING for the Coach, who nabbed Waller and Jefferson off waivers this week and has priority over everyone but Clydesdales.  The underdog is positioned exactly where he needs to be for this cashless conclusion to the HH season.

### 3. Clydesdales

I'm not sure he expected to get Hopkins for $2 or Michael Thomas for free, but with this is now the most complete roster in the league. Kamara, Chubb and McCaffrey will team up in week 14 to compliment a potent WR corp of Thomas, Hopkins, and McLaurin. The lone weakness is TE.

### 4. @FFDraftScott

Weak 181 this week but was patient in week 13 and did not blow his money, positioning him really well. The only problem? There isn't much on waivers this week. He may need to weather one more storm before his strategy pays off.

## Rulers of the Kingdom

2020 first place finishers:

Blitz logs the best score of the season when it matters most. He will need to do that a few more times to claim the championship.

## Dungeon Dwellers

2020 teams that finished second-to-last, narrowly avoiding elimination:

Scott logs the best score of any bubble team in 2020. It's a bad time to have a bad game, but he lives to die another day.

## Dead Money

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

Dead Money

## Chasing History - All-Time Combined Points Scored

Out of Luck finishes 7th in league history with just over 3,000 points.

## Remaining Budget

Total remaining: $103 out of $4000 (2.6%)

See you all next week and happy bidding.
