1) Last week seeding held, resulting in rather uninteresting matchups where every higher ranked team pummeled the snot out of the lower ranked team they were matched up against.
This week things get a lot more interesting. For one thing, the four strongest teams have made it to the semifinals due in large part to red hot play at the QB position. Don't believe me? Guess who the top QBs in FF have been the over the last four weeks.
Yep, it's Wilson, Newton, Fitzpatrick, and Bortles.
And guess who owns these four QBs? The four teams left standing.
2) On another note, my overall predictions record this season is 12-4. Not too shabby if you ask me.
3) The injuries keep affecting teams deep in the playoffs. Last week the two biggest injuries were to Rawls (David Lin) and Andy Dalton (Abraham). After Dalton went down, Abraham watched his championship dreams go up in smoke.
4) Sometimes the best offense is a little bit of defense. Am I right Tim? Over the last three weeks, Tim has hit the waiver wire hard to a) shore up his weakness at RB and b) prevent David Lin from doing what he does best--picking up free agents off the waiver wire and milking them for what their worth. This week he picked up Denard Robinson and Bryce Brown. The week before that he traded Melvin Gordon in for James White, and the week before that he picked up David Johnson. That's 5 new RBs in three weeks. It looks like Tim's got plenty of depth at his weakest position to carry him through the remainder of the playoffs.
5) On a related note, it's going to be interesting to see who emerges out of the Seattle and Carolina backfields this week. Will it be Bryce Brown owned by Tim? Or Christine Michael owned by David Lin? Or Fred Jackson who is currently a free agent?
6) Who knew that the biggest threat to the NFL's existence would be the risk of concussions/head trauma? If had a kid, there's no way I would let him play the game. Sports Illustrated recently published an interesting article on the new movie coming out and former NFL players' reactions to it. It's pretty damning if you ask me.
