Round 1

Round 1. No more futility of the week, no more domination of the week. From here on out it's win or fuck off.  There were only two matchups in week 14:  #3 Ethan vs #6 Jeff and #4 Derek vs #5 Stacey.  The injury epidemic Jeff has been fighting all year struck again as Dalton went down early but even so he would've needed bigger games from some other guys to beat Ethan.  The final score was 136.12 to 99.76 in favor of the three seed.  The battle of the soon-to-be newlyweds saw Derek beating Stacey rather handily thanks to some anti-clutch performances by Amari Cooper and Dez Bryant as well as a rebirth of Eddie Lacy and another huge day from the Carolina defense.  In the end the four seed Derek took the win over the five seed Stacey 156.82 to 115.60.  It's only round 1 but so far this season is a repeat of last season which saw not one upset in the playoffs or the consolation rounds.

The playoffs really heat up this week as every team has a game.  The marquee matchup is #1 DJ vs #4 Derek (the only team to beat DJ this year).  DJ's week will start on Thursday with rookie phenom Todd Gurley.  We also have #2 Heath vs #3 Ethan which is sure to be a thrilling game.  Those four teams are the only ones left battling for the championship.  The winners will play for the title next week.  Who will taste the sweet flavors of ultimate domination?  The fifth place game will be Stacey vs Jeff in a matchup that, of all the matchups this week, means the least.  The consolation playoffs also begin this week as #7 Brian squares off with #10 Barr and #8 Jake plays #9 Seed.  The winners of those two games will play for the first overall pick in the draft next week.  The losers will play to avoid being the sucko.
