Headhunters 2: 2 Heads 2 Furious

## Introduction: Year 2

There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? LOC Headhunters is BACK!

"League of Champions: Headhunters" is renewed for more in 2020, with new faces and new twists but the same level of frustration that accompanies every fantasy football game. We still don't know what is going to happen to the 2020 NFL season so let's just hope for the best as we kick things off.

Now, some of you more big-brained people have noticed that there are 19 teams in the league. But wait, that would mean we'd need an 18-week season and Headhunters only goes 16 weeks! Bu-bu-bu....BUT WHAT? You think we're going into Headhunters season 2 without a twist?

We don't play Headhunters for regular fantasy. You guys get that in your main leagues. You come here to get nuts. Real nuts. My mom thinking that COVID is a lib plot to get us all under their mind control, that level of nuts! Nuts like Jared having the first pick in Headhunters last season and taking Barkley instead of CMC.

Why is the league called "2 heads, 2 furious" besides it being an obvious reference to the Fast and Furious sequel/masterpiece? The "2020 Randomizer" section has your answer.

## 2020 Randomizer, Brought to you by "LIVE! From the Beach Bungalow"

The year is 2020. It's season 2. It's time for us to get twisted.

Like I said, we're over-booked.

This year, between weeks one and twelve, there will be **three** weeks of double-eliminations, which means at any given moment the bottom TWO teams may end up eliminated in a single week. There will also be a week of **NO** eliminations, where the bottom team will be saved.

Each week, before kickoff of the Sunday night game, I will go live with a video in the Facebook group. I will hit the randomizer, presented by "LIVE! From the Beach Bungalow" (the podcast as refreshing and spicy as a jalapeno margarita), and we will all learn together if this week was a single elim, a double elim, or the lone none-elim. If it's a non-elim, all you bubble teams get to breathe a sigh of relief. If it's double elim, SNF just got a whole lot more interesting.

OH, and the Immunity Idol protects the wielder from double eliminations.

The Immunity Idol? Ah yes, about that...

## Last Year's Champion (And His Shiny Immunity Idol)

Last year, "Al Snow's Fav Squad," led by the recently ordained minister Zach Haskins, officiated a holy union between himself and the 2019 Headhunters trophy. For those that have forgotten (or stopped reading the posts once you got eliminated), that trophy is actually an immunity idol. Zach has the ability to make himself immune from elimination one week, and one week only in 2020. Here are the rules of the idol:

### The Immunity Idol

* **Currently** **Owned by**: Zach Haskins (Al Snow's Fav Squad)
* **Use**: One Time Only
* **Expiration Date**: Must be Used Weeks 1-12
* **Playing the Idol**: Must be played before the 4:25pm Eastern Sunday kickoff
* **When Played**: If team finishes in an elimination position, next worst team gets eliminated instead.
* **Trading/Auctioning**: At any time, idol may be auctioned for FAAB money. You may also sell the idol/include idol in trades. All transactions of this nature must be made public and run through the Commish.

## The Cast of Criminals

Everyone got to pick their draft spot in the order of last year's eliminations, beginning with Derek69:

### Derek69 - "Moore $ Mo Problems"

* Last Year's Finish: 17th

* 2020 Draft Selection: 7th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

Derek69 has decided to pick in the exact same spot as last season and is one of several teams calling this their "Revenge Tour." Ballsy strategy from Derek69 but on the plus side he literally can only do better than last year.

### Jethro "G" - Ya Hate 2 See It

* Last Year's Finish: 16th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 4th
* Team Fandom: Los Angeles Rams

The man who finished 2nd to last with the oddly foreboding team name wants one of those top four guys and has opted for 4th overall. G went out with a wimper but this year he hopes to make a bang.

### Scott - @FFDraftScott

* Last Year's Finish: 15th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 3rd
* Team Fandom: Philadelphia Eagles

He's been a dad for a year now. That gives him a full off-season worth of dad wisdom accumulation. Little insider knowledge, dude loves Mixon. Really hope he doesn't fall to Scotty at 3rd overall, that would be terrible! (little reverse psychology there)

### Matt "Coach" Tebo

* Last Year's Finish: 14th (Prior Owner: Phil, banished from league due to inactivity)
* 2020 Draft Selection: 14th
* Team Fandom: Green Bay Packers

The first of several new managers to join us in 2020, the coach should be shown no mercy from us. Not only has he absolutely destroyed the Commish in Madden on more than one occasion, but he is family through marriage and the best way to show family members you care about them is by demolishing them in fantasy football.

### Papa - Out of Luck

* Last Year's Finish: 13th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 5th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

Papa's Posse returns with only one guarantee for 2020: he is autodrafting because last year's Headhunters draft exhausted the crap out of him. Not the worst strategy I've heard.

### Jared Allen - Wrath of Saquon

* Last Year's Finish: 12th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 15th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

With the 15th pick, Jared may have to change his name to Wrath of Ekeler.

### Chantel - Carole Pigskin

* Last Year's Finish: 11th (Prior Owner: Katie-Paw, banished from league for annoying me)
* 2020 Draft Selection: 13th
* Team Fandom: New York Jets

Chantel becomes the first pregnant woman to ever play in an LOC league. But can she give birth to fantasy championship glory?

### Commish - Henry VIII

* Last Year's Finish: 10th and Very Bitter about it
* 2020 Draft Selection: 1st
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

Honestly shocked that the first overall pick fell to me. Almost didn't take it because I figured I was missing something, like maybe the spot is cursed and no one wanted to tell me.

### KVR - Bad Boys

* Last Year's Finish: 9th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 2nd
* Team Fandom: New York Jets

KVR takes 2nd overall so he can snag his favorite player, Alvin Kamara. He comes in to 2020 hoping to renew his rivalry with Bobacue Chicken, who he didn't like because Bob sent him some insultingly bad trades.

### Nick "Butt Buttington" - Steve Blackman's Nun

* Last Year's Finish: N/A (New Team, Placed Here with Randomizer (TM))
* 2020 Draft Selection: 16th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

I did not know what to do with the two owners who did not take over teams, so I thought the most fair thing would be to randomly place them in the order selection process. Nick, henceforth known as Butt, is passionate about the game and has a strong drive to win. Of course, he never does and will likely finish middle-of-the-pack. WELCOME!

### Danielle "Feeney Panini" - Neck-Fix and Chill

* Last Year's Finish: 8th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 8th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

Last year's Cinderella story is back again hoping to ride her pumpkin to paradise.

### Bob - Bobecue Chicken

* Last Year's Finish: 7th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 11th
* Team Fandom: New York Giants

The question for Bob is if he will draft all of the Arizona Cardinals again or just some of them.

### Shotti - The Shotti Bunch

* Last Year's Finish: N/A (New Team, Placed Here with Randomizer (TM, TM))
* 2020 Draft Selection: 6th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

There is no greater rivalry in all of fantasy sports than the one between Shotti and Nate, except perhaps the one between Chris and Pat. In his first shot across Nate's bow, Shotti randomly got to pick one spot before Nate and stole the position Nate wanted. Let the games begin!

### Nate - #LiveWithIt

* Last Year's Finish: 6th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 10th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

This is the year, Nate. This is the year.

### Keeling - Cam Shaft

* Last Year's Finish: 5th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 9th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

Keeling worked magic with the waiver wire last season before running out of funds at the very end. Let's see if he can follow up his amazing 2019 run with another stellar performance.

### Mike Wolfe - Ron Saquonson

* Last Year's Finish: 4th
* 2020 Draft Selection: 19th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

All Mike wanted was to not pick last, but by the time it was his turn to select a spot everything detested him and in the first L of 2020 he just took the last spot.

### Patrick - The Guilloteam

* Last Year's Finish: 3rd
* 2020 Draft Selection: 17th
* Team Fandom: Atlanta Falcons

Pat had a fantastic 2019 season across all his leagues. But you know what they say about what goes up...

### Chris - Chris P's Neat Team

* Last Year's Finish: 2nd
* 2020 Draft Selection: 18th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

Last year, Chris was runner-up in both LOC and LOC:Headhunters. In 2018, he was also runner-up in LOC. His quest for that final step towards glory continues.

### Zach - Al Snow's Fav Squad

* Last Year's Finish: 1st
* 2020 Draft Selection: 12th
* Team Fandom: New England Patriots

Those who were witness to Zach's victory know how he did it. Strong draft, saved his money, out-bid everyone down the stretch with his massive budget. It is the surefire way to victory in this league, but it is easier said than done. First, you have to survive draft night.

## Draft Night

The draft is a fucking SLOG. It takes forever, which is why this year we are having a Zoom party for anyone interested. I will make sure everyone has the link. The draft is at 815PM EDT, so look for the link around 8pm on Sunday. Those of us in LOC, with an earlier draft, I will send out the link at that time.

Happy headhunting to all!
