The Grand Mr.E Smogon League A Review: Playoffs?! Don't talk about playoffs!
Check up on the past here:
How'd we shake out? Final standings:
#1 Shady's Party [Stallion] (12-2, 1656 Points For [#1], 1352 Points Against [#1]) Preseason: 10th, Midseason: 2nd
#2 kd24 drafts first [kd24] (10-4, 1554 points [#3], 1398 against [#3]) Preseason: 3rd, Midseason: 3rd
#3 The American Dreams [tad38] (9-5, 1604 points [#2], 1368 against [#2]) Preseason: 12th, Midseason: 1st
#4me Two Steaks Bastards [moot] (8-6, 1407 points [#9], 1500 against [#10]) Preseason: 8th, Midseason: 6th
-----
#5 Big Ass TDs [Huy] (7-7, 1523 points [#5], 1526 against [#11]) Preseason: 4th, Midseason: 4th
#6 Industrial Justice [Mr.E] (7-7, 1482 points [#7], 1444 against [#7]) Preseason: 1st, Midseason: 8th
#7 Glass Cannons [WaterBomb] (7-7, 1455 points [#8], 1492 against [#Columbus sailed the ocean blue]) Preseason: 11th, Midseason: 5th
#8 Adrian Beat Her Son [Texas] (6-8, 1528 points [#4], 1403 against [#4]) Preseason: 2nd, Midseason: 7th
#9 Like a Kevin Boss [makiri] (6-8, 1231 points [#11], 1420 against [#5]) Preseason: 6th, Midseason: 10th
#10 Duston MoP [MoP] (5-9, 1483 points [#6], 1562 against [#12]) Preseason: 5th, Midseason: 11th
#11 Punts With A C [biggie] (5-9, 1342 points [#10], 1489 against [#8]) Preseason: 9th, Midseason: 9th
#12 Sweet Cuppin' Cakes [Dubulous] (2-12, 1130 points [#12], 1440 against [#6]) Preseason: 7th, Midseason: 12th
So, on my midseason predictions, it was Huy who fell instead of kd24. And it wasn't Texas who grabbed the coveted four-seed, despite being 4th in both PF and PA. Wasn't me either, although it should've been god dammit Stallion. 0.64 points... :( It was, in fact, moot! Who scored the fourth least points this season and had the third most scored against him. Huh? Fantasy football gonna fantasy football sometimes, man.
In the interest of being a lazy bastard who is also extremely busy this pre-holiday week, I'll just do write-ups for the playoffs teams. And fuck dubs for going inactive.
Let's just say I expect Stallion to run away with the 'ship, over tad who edges out kd in the semis, but who really knows how this shit ever turns out? Still, he's the only one with no obvious roster weaknesses where kd24 is streaming TE now and lacks a consistent WR3 (if Diggs is even a consistent WR2 at this point), tad38 is lacking at RB2, and moot is just lacking. also he's not a fag with numbers in his name
also RIP Texas, as unlucky as moot is lucky :( And MoP to a lesser extent because he got buttblasted on a weekly basis despite doing decently himself.

Huh? Fantasy football gonna fantasy football sometimes, man.
In the interest of being a lazy bastard who is also extremely busy this pre-holiday week, I'll just do write-ups for the playoffs teams. And fuck dubs for going inactive.
#1 Shady's Party [Stallion]
[QB] Rofls, Bortles [RB] Gurley, Martin, L.Murray, Allen
[WR] Green, Decker, John Brown, Moncrief, Amendola [TE] Olsen, Barnidge [DST] Santos, DENVER
Everything in my midseason review still applies. Who knew Decker would be a top-tier WR2 and not a mediocre WR3, dude's RB depth is so deep he doesn't even give a shit that he lost Charles, etc. Speaking of which, he hasn't dropped a game since Week 4. He's rolling into the playoffs as the clear favorite, on fire and with an easy first-round matchup.
#2 kd24 drafts first [kd24]
[QB] Brady [RB] Forte, Langford, David Johnson, K.Williams
[WR] Beckham, Diggs, James Jones, Ma.Floyd, White [TE] Ertz, Graham [DST] Gano, GREEN BAY, PHILADELPHIA
From midseason, Brady has indeed regressed slightly, to being the best by a slim margin. James Jones has regressed to complete irrelevancy. Losing Graham hurts, on which note I wonder why kd24 is still carrying him. His depth is paper thin but at this point, he just needs to hold on two more weeks. Depth doesn't matter so much in the playoffs.
#3 The American Dreams [tad]
[QB] Dalton, Wilson [RB] Ivory, Sproles, D. Johnson Jr.
[WR] Megatron, Marshall, Stevie Johnson, Parker, Randle, VJax [TE] Gronk, Rudolph [DST] Haushka, PITTSBURGH
Losing big waiver pickup Dion Lewis hurts like a mofo, as his RB situation is even worse than kd24. Losing Dalton doesn't look like it'll be an issue because Russell Wilson is hotter than Hansel right now (a line so good I had to use it twice). Luckily, he's getting Gronk back at full strength this week, although he did just fine last week anyway.
#4 Two Steaks Bastards [moot] (Preseason: 8th)
[QB] Newton, Tannehill [RB] CJA, White, Whittaker, Morris
[WR] Sanders, Lockett, Ginn, Washington, Funchess [TE] Watson, Scoobydoo-Jenkins [DST] Gostkowski, NEW ENGLAND
Last time on Dragon Ball Z, dude was 8th in points scored and 6th in the midseason standings. Somehow, he's managed to score even fewer points in the second half of the season and still moved up to #4 to grab the final playoff spot. Fucking voodoo magic, man. That said, playoffs are a clean slate... is the Carolina offense going to finish this Cinderella story in Magical Christmas Land?
