Headhunters 2: The Sweet Sixteen

## Introduction

This week's congratulations goes to @FFDraftScott, last year's week three beheading. So far, all three teams who were eliminated in September of last year have survived to play into October. Our two newcomers, Shotti and Carole Pigskin, have also advanced off the might of their waiver adds. So that must mean a veteran has lost his head...

## In Memorium: Bobecue Chicken

Perhaps the loss of Bad Boys was too much for Bobecue to bear. How else can you explain benching Mo Allie-Cox for Drew Sample?

Bob is the latest victim to have his season (and his neck) cut short due to injury. Averaging 180 points coming in to week 3, Bob seemed set up for at least a mid-season run. But Davante Adams was sidelined with a hammy and Duke Johnson was also downgraded to out by being Duke Johnson who is NEVER GOING TO BE GOOD NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES HE GETS DRAFTED IN THE SIXTH ROUND. In a skank league like this, early injuries to big players are a killer.

Bob also suffered from having the worst starting QB in the entire league. I mean literally, Teddy B ranks 23rd this season among quarterback scoring through three weeks and every single team owns a QB who is better than him. There is even a free agent who is better than Teddy Bridgewater, and it's MItch Trubisky. So Bob would have almost been better off starting a player who was so shitty he got benched than starting Teddy Bridgewater.

Bob may not have made it as far as last season, but at least his championship prospects lasted longer than the New York Giants'.

Until next time Bobecue:

## Week Three Bidding Results

* Kamara may not seem like he's worth half a budget but when he scores half your team's points his value seems to supersede any impending bankruptcy.

* Henry VIII is doing a great job of bringing in guys who may be helpful to them starting around Thanksgiving.
* It's Blitz is back to his old tricks with the 69 gag. It stops being funny around week 12 when $69 is enough to outbid every other team left.

Last Year's most expensive week three player: Todd Gurley ($369)

## Money Spent Per Week

With the expansion of the league, obviously there are fewer players to bid on in the early goings, but I'll be curious to see if this week matches what was spent in week two last year (when there were also 16 teams remaining).

## Kings of the Castle

### 1. The Guilloteam

You know you've got the luck of the Irish when you're rolling out Fitzpatrick, Cobb, and Jimmy Graham in the year 2020 and they're doubling their projections.

### 2. Neck-Fix and Chill

SO weird that the two teams that drafted together are the top two this week. I'll have whatever they're having.

### 3. Out of Luck

This team name gets more ironic the more weeks they finish in the top five with two starters combining for 0.90 points.

### 4. Carole Pigskin

This team went from starting Jalen Richard to Alvin Kamara. Chubb/Kamara in a 16-team league is unfair good, but you get what you pay for in Headhunters!

### 5. Gore-ronavirus

This is the Lady Gaga team of the year. I'm looking right at it and I still don't know what it looks like. How the hell did this team break 200 with Michael Pittman, Hayden Hurst, James Robinson, and Tre'Quan Smith? Oh, and Atlanta's defense. Does that even exist?

## On the Chopping Block

### 16. Henry VIII

Good thing Commish benched Mark Andrews to help with his waiver priority. He would have really climbed the rankings with those extra 5 points!

### 15. Cam Shaft

The biggest challenge for Cam Shaft will be surviving his TE injury. Losing Goedert may mean a bid on Mo Allie-Cox, unless he's comfortable rolling with Logan Thomas (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit).

### 14. Shotti's Bugatti

On a scale from Bugatti to Nissan Cube, I'd say Shotti is operating at about a Chevy Spark.

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

Took a hit due to Julio Jones injury, but things still are not great at runningback for Blitz unless somehow Darrell Henderson continues to score 28 points every week.

### 12. A Team Has No Name

I feel like this team is 5th worst every week. Am I wrong? Anyway, tough to stomach what I'm about to say: this team would have done a lot better if they had benched T.Y. Hilton for Braxton Berrios. God, 2020 is the WORST.

## Remaining Budget

Scary thought of the week: Five of the top six teams through three weeks have their entire budget left.

See you all next week (unless I'm beheaded). As always, happy bidding!
