GFL NEWS
This week we're gonna look at each teams strengths and weaknesses and see who's been their fantasy hero and zero.
WHAT BIKE? (9-1)
Fantasy Hero: RB Todd Gurley, 285.00 points
Fantasy Zero: TE Austin Hooper, 107.8 points
Analysis: Buster has benefitted from owning Todd Gurley this season as he puts up a safe floor week in and week out. His downside has been his RB2 slot which has yet to produce a solid floor play week to week.
Shri Returns (7-3)
Fantasy Hero: QB Patrick Mahomes, 270.80 points
Fantasy Zero: TE Rob Gronkowski, 77.80 points
Analysis: Will has benefitted from picking up Patrick Mahomes for $9 in Week 1 but also has to thank Michael Thomas and Adam Thielen for his weekly outputs. The biggest weakness for Will has been the tight end position where Rob Gronkowski has tanked his season.
Marshawn of the Dead (7-3)
Fantasy Hero: RB Melvin Gordon III, 209.30 points
Fantasy Zero: WR Doug Baldwin, 50.50 points
Analysis: Tyler has been the most underrated sleeper team this season, he has done great but does not get the respect he deserves. The core of his team is Melvin Gordon and Julio Jones but picking up Nick Chubb and James White has done wonders. He's a true contender for the title on a good week.
Give Em The Peen (5-5)
Fantasy Hero: RB Alvin Kamara, 244.90 points
Fantasy Zero: WR Devin Funchess, 104.70 points
Analysis: Nic is a sleeping giant. He has Kamara, Hopkins, Deshaun Watson, Joe Mixon, etc. The weakness of this team is his other wide receivers, Jarvis Landry and Devin Funchess are not getting it done but the core of this team is strong. On a boom week, Nic could be the GFL champion.
OBJs give me a Chubb (5-5)
Fantasy Hero: RB Kareem Hunt, 210.10 points
Fantasy Zero: WR Randall Cobb, 55.80 points
Analysis: KJ is our defending champion. He doesn't have Gurley to rely on this season but he does have Odell Beckham Jr. , Kareem Hunt, and Aaron Rodgers to rely on. KJ is another sleeper team that could win it all on a good week. Keeping hold of Sony Michel and never giving up on him has benefitted his team as well. Jimmy Graham has not worked out like we thought he would.
Ric Flair Woo! (5-5)
Fantasy Hero: RB James Conner, 222.80 points
Fantasy Zero: RB Marlon Mack, 83.50 points
Analysis: Owned by a passionate fantasy football nutcase, I've made 47 waiver moves and made 4 trades this season. I've clearly lost my mind or remember this is redraft. I thank James Conner for getting me where I am, And the trades I've used to acquire Tyler Boyd and Antonio Brown. My team is nowhere near the best in this league but I'm gonna pray I make the playoffs and make a run.
KZOO RIVER MONSTER (4-6)
Fantasy Hero: QB Drew Brees, 210.94 points
Fantasy Zero: RB Le'Veon Bell, 00.00 points
Analysis: Jeff has the first overall pick and chose Le'Veon Bell. Welp. He kinda ruined the start of his season but thankfully he started fine without him but faltered down the stretch. Drew Brees has been the star of this team but the inconsistencies at the receiver and running back positions have had Jeff having down weeks. He can still make a playoff run if all the pieces come together.
Lil Skeet Skeet (4-6)
Fantasy Hero: QB Andrew Luck, 201.80 points
Fantasy Zero: RB Jordan Howard, 95.80 points
Analysis: Ah Phil aka Philster Goodell aka Lil Skeet Skeet. Our ever confident commissioner finds himself on the outside looking in. His trade for Jordan Howard has not panned out but his stash of Aaron Jones is finally coming together. Phil has a good team and he confidently thinks he could win it all but he's going to have to stay hot in November and into December.
Nader Jr. (2-8)
Fantasy Hero: QB Matt Ryan, 221.60 points
Fantasy Zero: RB LeSean McCoy, 93.10 points
Analysis: Oh Goose, you've had a rough season, bud. And it's not your team is bad, it's just that the matchups haven't gone the way you wanted and having Brady and Matt Ryan made you second guess yourself week in and week out. George Kittle and Saquon Barkley have been the stars of this underachieving squad.
Captain Insano (2-8)
Fantasy Hero: WR Tyreek Hill, 212.20 points
Fantasy Zero: RB Devonta Freeman, 14.10 points
Analysis: A good team on paper, Ryan just has been on the bad end of some close matchups, losing Devonta Freeman didn't help this season and not having a strong enough core made this team plummet down the ranks. Even a late season trade for Christian McCaffrey seems like too little, too late.
Waiver Wire Wonders
Phil spends $20 on Josh Adams: Does Phil know things we don't? Phil invests in the Eagles backfield with the former Notre Dame player who has shown promise but it's going to be a committee, so Adams might not get the workload Phil is hoping for.
Will spends $15 on a pretty Rashaad Penny: Again, this is an RBBC in Seattle. If Chris Carson misses the game Thursday, Penny and Mike Davis will split the workload and despite the breakout game for Penny, I DON'T TRUST PETE CARROLL.
Busters spends $6 on Derrick Henry: I guess Buster wanted the handcuff to Dion Lewis? This is an odd move in my opinion but hey, he's in first place and I'm barely holding onto 6th place so what the hell do I know.
Nic pays $3 for the Cardinals defense against the Raiders: Well played Nic, spending the amount of cash I couldn't match for the top defense of the week. Regardless, I was gonna take any defense I could get so props to you, please use this to defeat Phil.
And here's the rest of the waiver moves
Will: $15 on WR Anthony Miller
Goose: $10 on TE Evan Engram, Washington defense, K Ryan Succop
Buster: $1 on WR Maurice Harris
Walsh: Pittsburgh defense
Tyler: WR Willie Snead IV, WR Tyrell Williams
Phil: Houston defense
Jeff: WR Josh Reynolds
BUFFALO WILD WINGS GAME OF THE WEEK
Shri Returns (7-3) @ WHAT BIKE (9-1)
Shri Top 3: QB Patrick Mahomes, RB David Johnson, WR Michael Thomas
BIKE Top 3: QB Cam Newton, RB Todd Gurley, WR Brandin Cooks
Shri DANGER ZONE: TE C.J. Uzomah. Uzomah is not going to win you your week, he might tank your week depending on how this week goes. He only had 5.3 fantasy points last week, you better hope he finds the end zone, Wonka.
BIKE DANGER ZONE: RB Dion Lewis. Here we go again with Dion Lewis, he's boom, he's bust, HE'S UNPREDICTABLE. He got you 8.8 fantasy points last week, now that's not terrible but it's not going to cut it in a week like this. You too better hope he finds the end zone this week, Buster.
Walsh's take: This has potential Game of the Year implications, the #1 seed vs the #2 seed, the Chiefs @ Rams of this week. This game is huge, Buster is predicted to win by 5 points. Both men will be glued to their TVs/phones on Monday as Mahomes and Gurley will try to send it home. This game matters.

Ric Flair Woo! (5-5) @ Marshawn of the Dead (7-3)
Flair Top 3: QB Russell Wilson, RB James Conner, WR Antonio Brown
Marshawn top 3: QB Kirk Cousins, RB Melvin Gordon, WR Julio Jones
Flair DANGER ZONE: WR John Brown. Trusting John Brown again huh? Well, good luck with that, Brown hasn't got 10 PPR points in back to back weeks. Luckily he should be well rested after the bye and maybe he'll boom once against but JB has been the weak point of this fantasy squad for the past two weeks he was started.
Marshawn DANGER ZONE: QB Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins on the road in Chicago. Well then. You're gonna hope for a shootout and Cousins is more than capable of beating Mitch Trubisky in a shootout but this is the Bears defense we're talking about. He'll probably have a decent game but it won't be incredible.
Walsh's Take: We'll try to get the revenge tour back on track as I try to seek revenge on Tyler who defeated me in Week 2. It wasn't pretty that week and it might not pretty this week. Luckily I won't have to worry about James White and Nick Chubb this week but Tyler should be favored in this game. Russell Wilson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could shake this game up.

Lil Skeet Skeet (4-6) @ Give Em The Peen (5-5)
Skeet top 3: QB Andrew Luck, RB Aaron Jones, WR Robert Woods
Peen top 3: QB Deshaun Watson, RB Alvin Kamara, WR DeAndre Hopkins
Skeet top 3: QB Andrew Luck, RB Aaron Jones, WR Robert Woods
Peen top 3: QB Deshaun Watson, RB Alvin Kamara, WR DeAndre Hopkins
Skeet DANGER ZONE: RB Chris Carson. Chris Carson will play this Thursday against the Packers, If he does play, I'd still heed caution because Pete Carroll shenanigans are guaranteed.
Peen DANGER ZONE: TE Jared Cook. The Raiders are tanking, there's no doubt about it. And yes, Jared Cook is a go to target for Derek Carr but you never know what you're going to get with Jared Cook and he could bust at any given moment.Walsh's take: This is quite the matchup on paper and it will be nice to see it play out. Phil will rely heavily on Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins on Monday night if he finds himself in a hole but Nic will have Greg Zuerlein to counter any possible point Phil accumulates. This one is a big one for the playoff shakeup potential.
KZOO RIVER MONSTERS (4-6) @ OBJs give me a Chubb (5-5)
KZOO top 3: QB Drew Brees, RB Zeke Elliott, WR Mike Evans
Chubb top 3: QB Aaron Rodgers, RB Kareem Hunt, WR Odell Beckham Jr.
KZOO top 3: QB Drew Brees, RB Zeke Elliott, WR Mike Evans
Chubb top 3: QB Aaron Rodgers, RB Kareem Hunt, WR Odell Beckham Jr.
KZOO DANGER ZONE: WR Mike Evans. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Mike Evans can't seem to get on the same page. Evans has failed to score 10 PPR points in back to back weeks. Mike Evans is a risky start the rest of this season. He's a great player but he's not doing it in the fantasy verse.
Chubb DANGER ZONE: TE Jimmy Graham. Though there is a REVENGE GAME narrative this Thursday, Graham is a risky start because of a bad knee and the fact Aaron Rodgers and him just seem to be not syncing. Graham has had some duds over the past weeks and I feel like this is not a good week to start JG.
Walsh's take: This is a big game for Jeff and KJ, the standings could get shook up by one moving up or the other moving down. Jeff is currently favored by 1 point but if he's up on Monday, KJ will have his fantasy hero Kareem Hunt to rely on to get the victory.

Captain Insano (2-8) @ Nader Jr. (2-8)
Insano top 3: QB Carson Wentz, RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Tyreek Hill
Insano top 3: QB Carson Wentz, RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Tyreek Hill
Nader top 3: QB Matt Ryan, RB Saquon Barkely, WR Keenan Allen
Insano DANGER ZONE: WR Golden Tate. It was great to see Golden contributing to the Eagles offense but maybe it was because it was his first week with the team but he only got you 3.9 fantasy points. Hopefully there are better days ahead for the former Detroit Lion.
Nader DANGER ZONE: WR Demaryius Thomas. Here's the thing about DT. He's not the field stretcher that Will Fuller is/was. He's more of a possession receiver but he's more going to be the distraction to get the ball to DeAndre Hopkins. Deshaun Watson and him are just starting to get their chemistry going but you have to heed expectations with DT this week.
Walsh's Take:
Walsh's Take:
NFL GAME PICKS
Packers @ Seahawks: This will probably be a shootout, this teams have some classic games in their history but I see Aaron Rodgers prevailing over Russell Wilson.
Bengals @ Ravens: The Bengals defense was rekt by Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, Teryl Austin was relieved of his duties of being the defensive coordinator. Ravens roll at home.
Cowboys @ Falcons: The Cowboys shockingly beat the Eagles in Philadelphia last Sunday and well, WALSH WACKY UPSET OF THE WEEK, they're going to best Matt Ryan at home this week too. The Falcons are too decimated on defense to match the speed of Dallas' offense.
Buccaneers @ Giants: KINDA UPSET OF THE WEEK? The Giants are inspired after beating the 49ers in San Francisco, but I like the Giants at home to best QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and the lowly Bucs.
Steelers @ Jaguars: This Jaguars defense is not what it once was and I like the Steelers even with Big Ben on the road to beat the Jaguars and extract revenge for the AFC divisional matchup last year.
Texans @ Skins: Washington is amazingly 6-3 and have had a sneaky good season but I like Deshaun Watson to have a decent outing against this team and win on the road.
Titans @ Colts: This one could go either way but Andrew Luck is balling out for the Colts, he's the surefire Comeback player of the year and no one is going to tell me otherwise. Colts squeak out the win by 7-10 points.
Panthers @ Lions: This is going to be ugly.
Broncos @ Chargers: Philip Rivers usually plays well against the Broncos and I'm taking the hot team, The Chargers have potential to make a run in the AFC playoffs.
Raiders @ Cardinals: The Raiders are tanking on purpose, the Cardinals will win this game with little effort.
Eagles @ Saints: You don't go against Drew Brees at home.
Vikings @ Bears: Shocking somewhat I guess but I think Chicago is a more competent team than Minnesota and will show it this Sunday night.
Chiefs @ Rams: What a great MNF game, shame someone has to lose this game but my gut tells me it's going to be the Chiefs. Why? Sean McVay will game plan around making Mahomes night a living hell and Gurley will run it down their throat. Rams have Super Bowl potential, folks.
Alright that was Week 11...
I think my arm is going numb.
