Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 14 Preview. This is the final regular season week. Everything comes down to this. We have two spots left and they are ripe for the picking. I would hate to go from playing the worst place team, losing, and then playing the #2 team in a win to get in scenario. Thank goodness that is not me. We will look at the final group of matchups, Dr. Tilt, talk about how Bottom Bunk is 10th in power rankings, and then sort out the playoff picture. Let’s dive into our Game of the Week.
Game of the Week.
Trashman v. Pistol
v.
Ok, sure this is not an exciting game of the week. Nonetheless this game matters. More importantly, it gets Pistol his lone game of the week. Why is this game important? Well we have a first round pick on the line. Pistol with a win could launch himself into a first round bye in the consolation bracket. That’s all these teams want, an extra pick. Trashman has Cordarrelle Patterson and Mark Andrews. End of list. Just kidding, he is getting back both Nick Chubb and Aaron Jones. Pistol is hoping he can pull off a little magic. Pistol is hoping Russell Gage continues his success. Pistol has Slayton, Sutton, and Pitts. He will need a big week from Murray. Trashman will be about a 20 point favorite. I think Pistol pulls it off.
Bottom Bunk v. Mush’s Mongrels
v.
Bottom Bunk is hot off a big win. He is on his longest winning streak of the season. Mush is most likely in. Bottom Bunk might get one more week out of Jamaal Williams and Alexander Mattison. Bottom Bunk needs Keelan Cole and Sanu to play. If they do not play he is going to need some waiver magic. He has a lot of byes and no flexibility with the taxi. Mush has Gibby, Javonte, Clyde, and can get back Hendy. Gallup is hot, OBJ is hot, Diontae is hot, and don’t forget about the four drops from Knox. Knox has to catch the ball this week right? Mush is going to be like a 30 point favorite, I think he gets it done. It is impossible for Bottom Bunk to upset a team in back to back weeks. I have never been more certain in a pick than I am in Mush over B.B. Take it to the bank.
Teach v. PeePaw
v.
Teach has a chance. If he wins and someone else loses, he might get in. Teach has Mixon, Hill, Moore, Jefferson, and Hockenson. PeePaw has Monty, Lamb, Jefferson, Adams, and Aiyuk. PeePaw has a chance at that first round consolation bye. The good news for PeePaw is that points for Rodgers should result in points for Adams. That is a good way to undercut the team. PeePaw has been having a lot of points, but he’s got no defense. I think PeePaw gets it done. PeePaw has good WRs. They just need to show up. I think PeePaw gets it done and he helps out an old friend get into the playoffs. PeePaw is a 6 point favorite, PeePaw gets it done.
Touchdown Guy v. Daddy Wombat
v.
Josh Allen is tall. TDG is looking to seal the 1 seed. He needs a solid week from Saquon, Jacobs, Melly, and James Conner. TDG also has Mike and Mike. Mike Williams could be a must start if Keenan Allen is out with covid, but now Mike Williams is out with Covid too. St. Brown is shut a sneaky play. George Kittle is an absolute monster. I mean Kittle is the best. Losing Thielen hurts, but Thielen should have this week and the bye week to get healthy for TDG. Daddy Wombat is all the way down. On the verge of being the last place team. D.W. has J-Rob, Jeudy, Claypool, D-Hop, Metcalf, and maybe Kamara. D.W.’s team looks good on paper, but Jeudy and Claypool need to go off, and it is not something that has really happened this year. TDG could use the win, he’s like a 20 point favorite, he gets it done.
CrossFit v. Batman
v.
CrossFit is a long shot for a bye, but it is not out of the picture. He just needs a lot of points and TDG or Bruce to choke. CrossFit has the electric Ekeler. CrossFit also has Amari Cooper Kupp, Lockett, and Kelce. CrossFit also has Crowder, who, could be a great playoff option with Corey Davis being done for the year. Batman has some possible issues. He may lose some A.J. Dillon juice, some Chuba juice, some Mitchell juice, these guys all have touches issues. I do like the sneaky play of MVS in this matter. I like DeVante Parker as a sneaky late season play. I think CrossFit takes it. The only good news is that Batman is set up for a little consolation bracket run. CrossFit is like a 35 point favorite, CrossFit wins.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Bruce
v.
JonnyDIII is in a win to get in situation. JD3 needs this so bad. JD3 need Mahomes to need this. Guy has stunk. JD3 has Hunt off a bye, Diggs, McLaurin, Elijah Moore without Corey Davis, and Ja’Marr Chase. The biggest concern is if Keenan Allen can play. Bruce is likely guaranteed a bye. The best chance Bruce has for the #1 seed is a win. That helps obvi. Losing does not matter for him, in theory. Bruce has Zeke, Najee, Renfrow, Fournette, and Gronk. Bruce is looking to go from worst to first. This week does not define his season, two weeks from now does. Bruce probably ends up as a 3 point favorite. If you turn on the game of the week and get bored, this matchup, this matchup right here, it’s the talk of the town.
Now let’s dive into Dr. Tilt.

Now for the final playoff picture, with a number signifying their power ranking.
Teams in: Touchdown Guy #1, Bruce #2, CrossFit #3.
Teams out: Daddy Wombat #12, Bottom Bunk #11, Pistol #10, PeePaw #9.
We have 5 teams in the hunt. Mush #4, JD3 #5, Teach #6, Batman #7, Trashman #8.
Mush – 7-6 plays Bottom Bunk.
Options: Win and in. Let’s be real here Mush is in, he has a 114 point lead on Teach. The most realistic situation for Mush to get bumped is Mush loses. Then, JD3, Batman, and Teach win. Teach must score 115 more points than Mush in the Week 14 matchup. That is the best chance for Mush to be out. Mush is in, no way he’s not.
JonnyDIII – 7-6 plays Bruce.
Options: Win and in. Lose and then he needs any two to lose, Teach, Batman, and/or Trashman. Teach plays PeePaw, Trashman plays Pistol, and Batman plays CrossFit. Now if Teach wins and JD3 loses, Teach likely jumps JD3 due to points, Teach is up 83. If Batman wins and JD3 loses, Batman has the better record. If Trashman wins he would need to score like 250 more points. So it really comes down to Teach and Batman for JD3. Batman has the same record and Teach needs to win. What most likely happens is Batman loses to CrossFit. That puts JD3 in.
Teach – 6-7 plays PeePaw.
Options: Wait, is Teach being discussed before Batman? Yes. Teach is easier to describe. Teach must win and hope. Teach wins he needs either JD3 and Batman to lose. That happens, he probably is in due to points. That is it. That is all Teach has. He must win, then he needs either JD3 and Batman to lose.
Batman – 7-6 plays CrossFit.
Options: Win and get in. Lose and he needs Teach to lose. Trashman would need a miracle to get in. It realistically comes down to Batman and Teach. Batman must match what Teach does. Teach has a 128 point lead on Batman in points. Batman has to match.
Trashman: 6-7 plays Pistol.
Options: Trashman must win. If Trashman loses he’s done. Trashman’s best bet is that Teach loses and Batman loses. Then Trashman must outscore Batman by 202. Trashman is all but done.
That does it. A lot can happen. I think two things are certain, Mush is in and Trashman is out. Now we have to look at JD3, Batman, and Teach. These three are fighting for two spots. The team with the best matchup is Teach, but Batman and JD3 still have a shot. Something has to give and we are going to find out soon.
We are in for a great weekend of fantasy football. It is the greatest and most suspenseful weekend of the year. Best of luck in all your fantasy leagues and more importantly I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
