Headhunters 2: The Elite Eight

## Introduction

And then there were Eight.

This week, It's Blitz! used their coveted immunity idol. Now, all eight remaining teams are vulnerable on any given week.

There is one double elimination remaining and it will happen either this week or next.

Since the idol has already been used, there is no point in waiting until Sunday night to reveal when the double elim is happening. So I will go LIVE on Thursday night before kickoff to take the final spin of the wheel of fate.

## In Memoriam: Ya Hate 2 See It

Perhaps the most enigmatic team of 2020, Ya Hate 2 See It defied expectations and made it eight weeks further than they did in 2019. From starting three tight ends who all sucked, to bidding $1,000 between just two players, the team was far from boring but also far from threatening.

Many had to see this day looming. Matt Ryan, Calvin Ridley, Zeke Elliot, and Tyreek Hill all on the bye. Desperate for a spark, the team brought in Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas but the two combined for just 11.20 points, almost as much as Tyler Higbee put up on his own on the bench.

That wasn't the only letdown of the day. Drew Brees exited early with an rib injury, capping his QB at 11.37 points. The most crucial position in the league, without which victory is hard to come by.

Still, the longevity of this team speaks to their ability to scour free agency. The won two bids but they made 11 other roster moves, bringing in free talent like Fulgham, Fournette, Brees, and more. The problem arises when they all shit the bed at once, and there was a real need for clean sheets this week.

Until next time.

## New Releases

Now that we are in the later stages of the season, we're starting to see some repeats. How much less will they go for?

1. Tyreek Hill
2. Ezekiel Elliot
3. Michael Thomas
4. JuJu Smith-Schuster
5. Calvin Ridley

## Week Ten Bidding Results

Last Year's most expensive week ten player: Alvin Kamara ($188)

* A year after Kamara goes for $188, Michael Thomas goes for a whopping $300. However, I think the losing bid of $169 is more of an indicator as to the current value of top talent.
* Chris Godwin for $9 with no competitive bids seems really cheap...
* Where does Coach keep finding money? I swore he had nothing left like five weeks ago.

## Week Ten Results

* Biggest Climber: Carole Pigskin (^7)

* Biggest Faller: @FFDraftScott (v3)

## Kings of the Castle

### 1. Carole Pigskin

Wa wa wee wa. Carole has now survived longer than any woman in Headhunters history, passing Katie-Paws record from a year ago. However, at this point her baby is grown to the point where it is probably safe to give him most of the credit.

### 2. Gore-ronavirus

Really promising team and it's such a shame they have no shot at winning since they changed their team name mid-season. Everyone knows that's a death sentence. I'll do my part and not acknowledge the new name anywhere on here, thus erasing it from history.

### 3. The Guilloteam

Another week over 200 for Guilly-lock. They have surpassed Scotty and now are first overall in the league on the season.

### 4. Clydesdales

Making big moves but will bringing in Montgomery be the curse they can't lift?

## On the Chopping Block

### 8. Out of Luck

At this point I think people are gong to be shocked when Out of Luck gets eliminated. The guy just has a feeling of immortality about him. Speaking of immortal...

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

Blitz faced a tough decision this weekend with six 4pm games and decided to play it safe and use his immunity idol. It didn't end up mattering as he finished third to last, and now he must repeat as champion on his own merit.

### 6. @FFDraftScott

An off-week for Scotty with a fully functioning roster has to ring some alarm bells, but chances are Lockett and Metcalf aren't going to be held in check like this Thursday night...right?

### 5. Last Coach Standing

The seemingly bottomless bank account has finally run dry for Coach. In all, he won bids for 15 players. Will his current roster be enough?
