Good morning everyone, we have our Pot Cakes Dynasty League Playoff Recap. We look at Dr. Tilt getting back on track and other news. My room is completely black, no sound, no warmth of any kind. Just me, me and my thoughts.
The Playoff Recap.
I think more so than ever, fantasy playoffs are the most heartbreaking and stressful time of your career as a Fantasy Football Manager. To pile on top of that, a Dynasty Fantasy Football Manager. If you were lucky enough to string together enough wins or enough points to get through a Covid Fantasy Football Season that should bring you joy. But, the playoffs will take that joy, rip it up into a million pieces, and cause you to second guess your existence for at least two more weeks. We have that.
#1 Daddy Wombat
With the bye no news is good news right? Well there is news. Gurley was bad, Gio was bad and there was no Mixon, and Mims is suspended. Daddy Wombat will enter his first playoff game with three roster spots that are up in the air. That is never a good sign.
#2 Teach
Teach was also on the bye, but his players were not. DeVante Parker suffered an injury that may cause him to miss next week. It is also too early to tell what is going to happen with the Dolphins RB room, but Bowden had quite a few targets and could fill the void of the RB2 spot for Teach. So he is in an ok spot, but not great.
#3 Touchdown Guy v. #6 Bottom Bunk
v.
I projected TDG as my favorite entering the playoffs, and he did not disappoint. D-Train added 35 points, which is good. Hayden Hurst was a snoozer adding 1.2 in his continued boom or bust season. Surprisingly enough Calvin Ridley added 22 points and we all passed on him in the draft. Bottom Bunk wet the bed. Dalvin Cook added 18 and has been good all year. Mike Williams, who is half of a first round pick, added 0. Surprisingly enough, T.Y. added a jumpman in what might be his last fantasy football game of any value. TDG wins 142.84 to 116.65.
#4 CrossFit v. #5 PeePaw
v.
CrossFit maxed out just shy of a second rep (does that work?). Austin Ekeler was good adding 19. I guess Wayne Gallman was bad? He was 4 points under projection, CrossFit had a decent week as TB12 was the biggest letdown by 5 points under projection. The surprising thing was Mike Davis, adding a jumpman himself. It was not enough. The hottest team in the Pot Cakes Dynasty League had something to say. The WR core was good, Adams with 21, A.J. Brown with 20, and Aiyuk with 17. The bad was Jonnu Smith who peeked so early in the season that you have to keep him in the lineup despite recent disappointment. The surprising was Miles Sanders, he went for 27 and helped the Eagles get a win. This is an absolutely gut wrenching loss for CrossFit. All the injuries, all the success, just to lose in the Sunday Night Game with Big Ben tossing one last touchdown. PeePaw is hot, and you don’t want to let him get hot. PeePaw wins 149.05 to 144.1.
Consolation Bracket
#7 Pistol
I did not take the time to add up Pistol’s score, but he said he did well. David Montgomery is on a tear, Kareem Hunt, and Travis Kelce. Sheesh, Pistol is licking his lips. Hopefully, Pistol still has a round in the chamber for this weeks matchup.
#8 Mush
Mush’s second leading scorer is injured, Mike Gesicki has some injury. This is not good for a guy who made a big trade for the tight end. It was a good week for Mush to have a bye as his team did not look good on paper. Getting Antonio Gibby is a must for Mush to make his push for pick #13.
#9 Trashman v. #12 Bruce
v.
Trashman waited all year, but he delivered this week. Allen Robinson was good adding 22 points. Aaron Jones was bad only adding 8.5 points, but what might be worse for Packers fans is that he signed a new agent that is all about the cheddar. The surprising thing was Cam Akers, he added a nice little 20 point Sunday to top off Trashman’s performance. Bruce was not almighty. Barely squeaking into the 100 point category. Jonathan Taylor was good and added 29 points. Chris Godwin and D.J. Chark were bad adding 6 combined points. The surprising thing is how Bruce even made the consolation bracket. I know everyone gets in, but should they? Trashman wins 146.45 to 101.3.
#10 JonnyDIII v. #11 Batman
v.
The human body is incredible. A person can suffer heartbreak after heartbreak and still finds away to wake up. It is really incredible. The buzz came in early Sunday, is this the game of the year? Is this the best consolation game in the history of consolation games? That is not for me to decide. That is for the fans. The story is what sells. JonnyDIII was a favorite and after Thursday Night’s underperformance of Batman’s Bob Woods, things were looking up. The noon games also get JD3 a boost. The issue became Patrick Mahomes 3 interceptions and Terry McLaurin’s disappearance into the afternoon sunset. Nelson Agholor put up an unheard of 18 points. Projection wise, JD3 was a slight advantage. Sunday night Juju starts off hot. Diggs and Singletary, crickets. Second half swing, Diggs is electric, then Juju has a late score. End of Sunday JonnyDIII has a 37.5 point lead, Batman has 30 point projection for Lamar Jackson. Lamar goes missing, JD3 has an 8 point something lead. The two minute warning hits, Lamar rises from the ashes and hits a 40-some yard TD pass. Batman is within 0.1 points. If the Browns can just run out the clock it is over. Baker decides to score in like 4 plays. Lamar hits a couple dump passes. Batman wins 133.15 to 130.95. An absolute barnburner. Batman now is playing for a compensatory pick while JD3 is focused on roster reconstruction and the draft. America’s sweetheart is official out.
Now we have some picks recap.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 14 Prescription
Words from Doc.
The Doc promised to get back on track and he delivered a 2-1 week. Here’s how it went down:
Patriots @ Rams (-4)
The Patriots ain’t what the used to be. No Brady, no receivers and a shorthanded defense. McVay got his revenge for the super bowl a few years ago, and the Rams handled the Pats on Thursday night.
Vikings @ Bucs Over 51.5
Dan Bailey sucks. This pick was doomed from the first quarter. Anytime a kicker leaves 10 points out there you know you’re in trouble. How he hasn’t been cut by know is the most puzzling decision of all time. Kickers are stupid (no offense).
Ravens -1.5 @ Browns
This was one of the games of the year. The Ravens looked like they were going to pull away, until Lamar headed for the locker room in the 3rd quarter. Was he hurt? Or maybe it was something else. Only fitting it happened against the Browns. He came back to save the day (without any brown stains on his pants) and a Justin Tucker FG won it for the Ravens. And then a lateral play turned safety helped last minute Ravens bettors who had -3. What a week.
Last Week: 2-1
Season Record: 24-19-1
Is the Doc back?
Well, that does it for this week. I have to say, for someone to go through a heart wrenching loss, and to turn around and pump out some content is sponsorship worthy. Maybe next year. Tomorrow I will see you with the Playoff Preview Part 2. Until then, I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
