League Standings through Week 11
#1 – Despite karma’s wreckage this week, it looks like Filthydelphia will hold on to the Regular Season Championship and the #1 seed in the playoffs. There is no likely scenario at this point that can alter that. ESPN’s botched status designation on Hill allowed Filthy to take a QB’s rake at the TE position and the single win he needed to stay ahead of the #2 seed. Even if an 11-0 finish by Glass is Half Fuller next week and a corresponding 0-11 finish by Filthy would tie them up, Filthy would break the tie in Total Points.
- If GHF also outscored Filthy by 86.90 points in Week 12 he could pull off the miracle. The average spread through the last eleven weeks (the difference between the highest scorer and lowest scorer) is 85.31 points. The spread was higher than 86.90 points six times this year, and more than 109 points in Weeks 6 and 7. This points-spread scenario may be slightly more possible than the 11-0 and 0-11 scenario, but for both to happen at once would be damn near supernatural.
#2 – It looks like Glass is Half Fuller has put together enough wins over the last two weeks to give him a respectable 4-win lead in the standings and a decent hold on the #2 seed in the playoffs. The current #3 through #7 spots in the standings are still within striking distance of that position though. GHF will need to put his best roster forward in the final week of the regular season. He’s got three players on quick-turn Thursday matchups and Derrick Henry facing the #3 run defense in the league.
#3 – Coming Tua America is currently sitting in the #3 spot after two 10-1 outings in the last three weeks. Analysis shows that there is one possible Bench Swap in Week 11 that could jump ahead of him in the standings (a Tie at 72 wins with a Total Points tiebreaker). We’ll have to wait to see if anything comes in prior to the start of the Turkey-day schedule.
#4 through #8 – The remaining seeds in the above .500 column could very likely shift around following Week 12 results. Three of these five teams have been trending up over the last three weeks.
#9 through #12 – The bottom four teams in our league may shake up what half of the playoff bracket they end up playing in, but they wont be able to crack the ceiling they are under.
- Team wren will likely keep the #9 seed as he has an 8-win advantage over the group.
- Hot Chubb Time Machine put together an 11-0 outing this week, but he recorded two 1-10 outings in the previous two weeks and he’s only cracked .500 two other times this season.
- Not much to say about Family Jules. He never hit the Tuesday waiver wire this season and was basically on cruise control. This league is way too active to phone it in on Sundays.
- Wanted Dez or Alive only put forward three weeks this season with more than four wins. It didn’t help his chances leaving empty spots on his roster in Weeks 9, 10, and 11.
