Steem Fantasy Football League #3 – Week 16 Preview - CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHUP!

in sffl •  7 years ago 

The Championship is here!!

The coveted Dan Larimer trophy is up for grabs this week!! After wins by @paradise-found and A team has no name @boatsports90, they now face off in the championship! Harambes Revenge @kryptocek and @Shenanigator will battle it out in the third place game! Here is your updated playoff bracket

Notes from Week 16:

  • Aaron Rodgers came back after his injured collarbone healed almost fully, but he was still not 100%. The Panthers defense was able to keep him off balance enough to win.
  • The Steelers vs Patriots was one of the most entertaining games in the NFL I have seen this year. What are your thoughts on James's TD that was called incomplete.
  • I still can't believe David Carr fumbled that football on his way into the end zone. That was a heck of a play by the Dallas defender.
This week there are two games on the slate!

Dan Larimer Championship Game

@paradise-found vs A team has no name @boatsports90

This is it! After 15 long, grueling weeks we are finally here in the championship of the Steemit fantasy football league! Two of the best teams all year have made it to the championship match up. @paradise-found has won every single game except for the first game of the year while nobody has played hotter than A team has no name @boatsports90 in the second half of the year. Looking at my projections @paradise-found should claim victory and win the Dan Larimer trophy. @paradise-found's duo at running back of Le'Veon Bell and Kareem hunt has been difficult for anyone to stop this year. I'm not sure they will be stopped this week either. Russell Wilson at quarterback for @paradise-found should have a great week against the Cowboys defense. For maybe the first time all year @paradise-found is starting two tight ends in Evan Engram and Greg Olsen. The Baltimore Ravens defense has put up some impressive fantasy numbers this year for @paradise-found and I expect them to have another good week. They have scored in double digits and 9 of their 14 games this year for @paradise-found. It's pretty fitting that the teams with the two best defense face off in the finals. For a team that means the Jacksonville Jaguars who have scored in double-figures in 10 of their 14 games this year for A team has no name @boatsports90. A team has no name @boatsports90 will be starting Nick Foles at quarterback as the Eagles Take on the Raiders. In order to keep up this week I think A team has no name @boatsports90 needs a big week from his Trio of running backs. Melvin Gordon has been a stud this year but the overall lack of consistency from CJ Anderson might be the difference-maker in this matchup for A team has no name @boatsports90. If Keenan Allen can produce one of those 25 to 30 point performances, A team has no name @boatsports90 may be able to pull off the upset although, it looks like @paradise-found will cruise to an easy victory.

Prediction: @paradise-found 159.21 | A team has no name @boatsports90 129.6

3rd Place Game

Harambes Revenge @kryptocek vs @Shenanigator

This third place game shall be a great one! It looks like Ben Roethlisberger will get the start for Harambes Revenge @kryptocek at quarterback this week. The running backs for Harambes Revenge @kryptocek may what be opens up the door to @Shenanigator getting the victory. The wide receiver unit especially DeAndre Hopkins has been on a tear recently for Harambes Revenge @kryptocek. If Harambes Revenge @kryptocek can get great production from his receivers, I think a victory and third place finish is very likely. My guess would be that Harambes Revenge @kryptocek starts Harrison Butker at kicker and the Minnesota Vikings defense this week. It is possible though that Harambes Revenge @kryptocek starts the Pittsburgh Steelers defense as they face the Texans on Monday or he may pick somebody up off the free agent list. For @Shenanigator his team looks to be set. Cam Newton had an incredible game last week against the Packers where he had his third highest point total all season with four total touchdowns and zero turnovers for @Shenanigator. Leonard fournette was out last week due to an injury for @Shenanigator but his quad looks to be healed and he should play this week against the 49ers. Ricky Seals-Jones had two good weeks and weeks 11 and 12 but has been pretty quiet since then for @Shenanigator and he needs some good production out of his TE to finish in third place. I think this game is going to come to the wire with Harambes Revenge @kryptocek ultimately becoming victorious.

Prediction: Harambes Revenge @kryptocek 138.37 | @Shenanigator 127.56

Go Pittsburgh Steelers!

I'm going to agree with both of your picks. The roster of @paradise-found is just too good. I'll also take @kryptocek to win 3rd place, because he knocked me out, so you know he's good.

His team is loaded!! I think that third place game is going to be a good one!

At least we will all make some $$! The amount is TBD depending on how much the payouts are the final two posts!

Wheuu that's awesome! Also will they just split the payout for @corncobbs placing since he lost his password haha!?

hahaha yes! Great question!

I am trying to figure out how we approach this! Will communicate with him! May send him some $$$

Cool beans! I haven't heard from him in a while. The struggle of loosing your Steemit password. Protect it like you would your dog!

Damn man, 30 point underdog? Haha, yea that's probably about right. But hey, ya never know!

Appreciate it @mikeshuh I could had a chance but I blew it not playing Lewis and Vikings defence last week or else coulda been a different story.
