So, who ends up in the middle of the pack? Let's start the story from the top.
12 - Seenie J - despite having AP (is he really gonna have a monster season again?), Jeff claims that b-school and "studying" takes up too much of his time. His lack of managerial presence and lack of WRs lands him in a similar spot.
11 - You've Changed Bro - Duke struggles in his first season due to a mediocre core (RB+WR). Unless he's got some fantasy managerial skillz we don't know about, or gets some of his sleeper picks to pan out, he's looking to dine at the bototm.
10 - Password in Taco - Justina's got lots of very important international law things to worry about. So, for the second season in a row, she's going to feed somebody an amazing player (can I haz Lynch again?). We can blame law school, or blame David for poor drafting on her behalf.
9 - The Pain Train - Gabs' teams always look great after draft day, but he somehow falls into middle of the pack as the season progresses. He has some sizable risk and upside, but a fairly strong base team so... like Ellie Goulding says, anything can happen.
Middle of the pack...

Middle of the pack...
7th and 8th place
5th and 6th place
8 - Charlotte Hornets - Abraham takes on Laura's legacy and comes in with the last playoff spot. He has a pretty even keel team , but could use some help with the RB spot... not a believer in the Rice Rocket. He's another wild card being a league newcomer... I mean, Khoa pretty much ran our league when he first showed up, right?
7 - Unicorn Burps - David usually finds a way to place in the top echelon of our league, but methinks that he starts averting his attention to other things this year... like real life. Also, I think he reached a little for Rodgers in a year where there's not going to be a whole lot to differentiate the top 8 QBs.
6 - Jen Wong's Team - Despite her completely unoriginal team name (come on... give us something!!), Jen's got a pretty decent team. Nothing about her team REALLY jumps out, but I think MJD is gonna bounce back and there's a good chance Foster gets injured so... watch out world.
5 - E-San's Team - No such thing as carrying momentum over between season. Case in point... 2005, yours truly wiped the floor with the league using a Shaun Alexander/Larry Johnson combo. How did pig truly finish in 2006? Dead last. It's also not wild to think that Martin will have a little bit of a soph slump, but I'm giving him some kudos.
If you'll notice, the overall point differential between these next four finishers are marginal at best, meaning that our league is pretty even keel overall. There's not a lot to separate a middle-seed playoff team from the 8th seed which means, there's going to be some awesome jockeying for playoff spots in 10 weeks.
