Fantasy Football Tuesday: Week 13 Edition

It's time for Fantasy Football Tuesday: Week 13 Edition. After a short hiatus that some changes in standings, I'm back. This was a good week as I went 2-1 in the three highlight weeks. Here's the breakdown of Week 13 and the look ahead to Week 14...

Breakdown:

In the Speed Kills league, the K.C. Masterpieces pulled out a victory as they beat the Dixie Rebels by the score of 113.33 to 92.15. This snaped a two game losing streak (started by a computer malfunction that rivaled the BCS as the Yahoo computers stole a victory that had previously been given over The Rainmaker). With the decisive victory, the Masterpieces stay in contention for the playoffs. The leading scorers for the Masterpieces were Rob Bironias, Eddie Royal, Jay Cutler, and LenDale White. After Week 13, I'm in 6th place (essentially in 5th place) with a record of 7-6.

In the League of Fantasy Footballers, the Kansas City Chefs had their five game winning streak snapped as they lost to regular season champs Multiple Homeowners by the score of 124.09 to 100.24. It was a hard fought game but the Chefs were in too deep of a hole going into the Monday Night game to overcome. This was the last game in the regular season. The Chefs ended the season with a record of 8-5 and in a 4 way tie for 2nd place. The tiebreaker was points scored. Because of this the Chefs will have the #3 seed going into the playoffs. Leading scorers for the Chefs were Tennessee DEF, Adrian Peterson, Andre Johnson and Philip Rivers. After Week 13 and the end of the regular season I'm in 3rd place (essentially tied for 2nd) with a record of 8-5.

In the Young Guns league, the Kansas City Perkalators won a game finally to break the losing streak as they beat the San Diego Super Chowders by the score of 100-44. The win was satisfying in that it was a convincing victory. However, it was bittersweet as it came too late to try and make the championship bracket of the playoffs. The Perks will now play in the consolation bracket. Leading scorers for the Perkalators were Rob Bironias, Bernard Berrian, Greg Jennings, and LaDanian Tomlinson. After week 13, I'm tied for 3rd place in Division 1 with a record of 7-5-1.

Outlook for Week 14:

In the Speed Kills league, the K.C. Masterpieces (7-6) will look to secure a victory and a playoff spot as they take on Deal's Gap Dragons (4-9). These two teams met in Week 3 with the Masterpieces taking the win. This is the last week in the regular season. There are only two playoff spots available and three teams in contention. As of right now the Masterpieces are in but need a win to clinch and have a shot at repeating as champ. Key matchup will be the RB position (Ronnie Brown/LenDale White vs. Leon Washington/Fred Taylor). As of right now, Yahoo is predicting the Masterpieces as the favorite.

In the League of Fantasy Footballers, the Kansas City Chefs (8-5) will look to get the playoffs started properly with a win as they take on Souper Bowl Sundays (7-6). This game is a rematch against old rival and friend Adam from Week 7. The Chefs will look to avenge the loss that came from that game and a playoff matchup would be the best place to do it. Key matchup will be at the RB position (Adrian Peterson/Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Marion Barber/DeAngelo Williams). As of right now, Yahoo is predicting the Chefs as the slight favorite.

In the Young Guns league, the Kansas City Perkalators (7-5-1) will look salvage the season by winning the consolation bracket. The first step is to take on Division 1 rival NashVegas The Editor (7-5-1). These two teams met twice in the regular season with the Perks getting a win and the other game ending in a tie. This will be a two week matchup and the Perks will be looking forward to getting a quick start in the win column. Key matchup will be at the K position (Rob Bironias vs. John Carney). As of right now, ESPN is predicting the Perkalators as the favorite.

That's all for this week. Tune in next Tuesday for another installment of Fantasy Football Tuesday.
