Headhunters 2: The Sour Sixteen

## Introduction

This week's congratulations goes to Out of Luck, last year's week four beheading. So far, all four teams who were eliminated first last year have survived to play into October.
Also a congratulations to myself! Even accounting for the benched starters, the Commish is the team that got bailed out by this week's non-elimination spin of the Wheel of Fate.
So we've all survived to week five. A quarter of the NFL season is in the books and there are still 16 teams alive. Chaos is soon coming to Headhunters...

## Week Four Bidding Results

Last Year's most expensive week four player: Davante Adams ($578)

* Did someone say bargain!? The same week last year, Chris paid $578 on Adams. This year, he gets the same player on the same week for the low price of $420! The heart wants what the heart wants.
* Scott finally lands a big one with DK Metcalf after falling short two straight weeks on the big fish in the free agency pond.

## Money Spent Per Week

An accurate comparison due to league expansion is week 4 to week 2, and we see that even when we do that comparison there is less money being spent and more players being taken. It seems that the league vets have learned from 2019 and are being more patient and calculated with their money. After all, two of the league's three newcomers are sitting with the smallest bank accounts.

## Week Four Results

* Biggest Climber: Shotti's Bugatti (^12)

* Biggest Faller: The Guilloteam (v9)

## Kings of the Castle

### 1. LiveWithIt

It's the ultimate cruelty for Nate that he would have his best week of the year during the non-elimination phase. Look for him to come back next week with about 150 fewer points.

### 2. Shotti's Bugatti

Never missing an opportunity to take some of the spotlight away from Nate, Shotti kicks it into gear with a crazy 234, way over his 169 projection. Have I mentioned there are still 16 teams in this league?

### 3. Neck-Fix and Chill

First rounder George Kittle came back in a big way. Meanwhile, Dak Prescott scored 68 points, almost enough to beat Henry VII on his own.

### 4. Carole Pigskin

Who runs the world!? GIRLS! Okay, well maybe not runs the world, but who is 3rd and 4th in the world!? Girls! Huge improvement for Carole ever since bidding big a few weeks ago.

### 5. Out of Luck

Eliminated a week ago, Out of Luck got busy in the bidding game and is looking to build on an already strong team. They are ranked third overall in Headhunters.

## On the Chopping Block

### 16. Henry VIII

Arguably the league's worst team over the last two weeks (even accounting for the players they benched), Henry will need to survive one more week before having both Christian McCaffrey and Le'Veon Bell back in action. If they make it, game on.

### 15. Last Coach Standing

He almost wasn't standing anymore after a narrow escape thanks to a non-elim. A double could have been the death of him. Losing Ekeler mid-game will do that to you.

### 14. Ya Hate 2 See It

Lost OJ Howard to injury and Calvin Ridley somehow got blanked, but still managed to out-perform a few teams. Week five will be tough with injuries, byes, and no new free agents.

### 13. Hasta Laviska Baby

A top team just two weeks ago, Jared is on the ropes with no Chris Godwin and no Aaron Jones in week five.

### 12.  It's Blitz! Track 2

The 2019 champion has been middle-of-the-pack the entire season, consistantly performing under projection. Is Watson going to step it up now that O'Brien has been fired?
