Week 13 Power Rankings
Let’s get right to the playoff talk.
With one game left in the regular season, four* teams have clinched, three have been eliminated and the remaining five teams will battle it out for two spots. We’ll start with the team owners who have clinched.
In Week 13, wins for Chelsie, Nick, Samantha and Geoff mean all four have punched their tickets to the playoff. Well…almost. Note that above I said there were “four” teams who made the playoffs with an asterisk. That’s because the only team that has really clinched is Chelsie. With nine wins, she’s in. There are simply not enough teams that can catch her at this point.
But it gets interesting for Nick, Samantha and Geoff. With eight wins, it’s technically possible for each of these team owners to miss the playoffs if they lose and (setting Chelsie and the winner of Samantha/Geoff aside) there are more than four eight-win teams. Then it would go to the tiebreaker, which is total points scored this season. In a worst-case scenario (for them), Gray, Josh, Erik and Beth Ann could all win setting up a scenario where there are six eight-win teams (those four plus Nick and the loser of Samantha/Geoff) for only four spots. In that case, the two teams with the fewest points would drop.
But here’s the good news for Nick, Samantha and Geoff. They rank third, fifth and sixth in points, respectively. Yes, Gray ranks second. So he would likely get priority, though Nick and Samantha could surpass him. But it really doesn’t matter. Because like when you’re running from a bear, you don’t have to be faster than the bear. You just have to be faster than the last guy. Or two, in this case. And Josh, Erik and Beth Ann rank eighth, ninth and 10th in points, respectively. That means, even in a worst-case scenario, they just have to beat Erik and Beth Ann in points. And currently…
Nick is 175.12 points ahead of Erik.
Samantha is 141.78 points ahead of Erik.
Geoff is 82.88 points ahead of Erik.
Given that the largest margin between the highest-scoring team and the lowest-scoring team in a given week in Worst League history is 120 points (Week 9, 2018), I’m going to officially punch Nick and Samantha’s tickets too. Basically, Erik would need to outscore Nick or Samantha by the amounts listed above for which there is no historical precedent. You would essentially need Erik to have a historic high on the same day they have a historic low in points. Call me a jinx if you like, but they’re in.
For Geoff, it’s a little more interesting. With an 82.88-point lead over Erik, it’s within the realm of possibility that his doomsday scenario could play out. But if we look at this season, Erik’s highest point total is 142.4 (Week 11) while Geoff’s lowest is 79.36 (Week 9). Even if Erik had a season-high in points while Geoff had a season-low, the difference would be just 63.04 points. That’s still about 20 points short of what Erik needs. So, again—unlikely. Given that, I believe he has clinched, but I’m not going to say it with 100% certainty. So no checkmark for him in our Playoff Picture just yet.
Chelsie, Nick and Samantha have clinched with Geoff not far behind.
As for the other end of the spectrum, Greco became the third team owner to be eliminated this week after her loss to Beth Ann. At 5-8, the best she can do is get to six wins, and at least seven will be needed to make the playoffs this year. (More on her season in her writeup below.)
That leaves five team owners gunning for two spots—Gray, Erik, Josh, Beth Ann and Brandon. Five teams enter. Two teams leave. We’ll break down each of their chances and more in their blurbs below. Happy scrolling.
Scoreboard
Brandon led all scorers with 157.2 points for his third weekly prize of the year.
Since we’ve already broken down the standings above, we’ll keep this one short. In Week 13, Brandon won his third weekly prize of the year, scoring a season-high 157.2 points against Josh. Brandon is now the third team owner to win three weekly prizes this year joining Chelsie and Geoff. Coincidentally, all three of Brandon’s weekly prizes have come the week after Geoff has won a weekly prize. Bottom line: if Geoff goes off, avoid Brandon the following week at all costs.
As for the rest of the league, Beth Ann kept her playoff hopes alive by eliminating Greco. And Chelsie, Nick, Samantha and Geoff all clinched with wins over Alex, Erik, Gray and Jess. But it was Samantha’s win over Gray, which suddenly puts him in serious peril and sets up an interesting finale between the league’s top two teams. (More on that below.)
Alright, without further ado, let’s get to the Power Rankings where we break down the playoff prospects of every team owner entering the final week of the regular season.
Power Rankings
Gray leads…but Brandon, Samantha and Nick are within striking distance. Can they catch him?
1. Gray
7-6, .678 TW%, 123.8 ppg
“Can y’all please stop murdering my fantasy team please?”
That was the plaintive cry in the group text this week from the league’s top dog after Samantha beat him 152-98.14. That’s the second 50+ point loss for Gray in as many weeks who also lost to Geoff last week when he won his most recent weekly prize. In fact, Gray has now faced three weekly prize winners (more than any other team owner) and another two runners-up. That’s five weeks facing a top-two score, and for the season, he leads all team owners in points against with 122.7 ppg and has played against four of the top-10 scores this year. That’s rough.
As a result, Gray is now 7-6 (despite a TW% that befits a nine-win team) with a very real chance of missing the playoffs. Yes, the league’s best team this season, which has dominated from nearly wire to wire with 11 weeks at #1 (the longest season-long streak since Gray led all 13 weeks in 2011), could actually miss the playoffs. In fact, the computer gives him a 43% chance of going home early.
So what does Gray need to avoid that fate?
Win and he’s in.
OR lose and hope Josh, Erik and Beth Ann all lose.
A win over Brandon would get him to 8-6. With more points than pretty much everyone else, he’d safely make it past any potential tiebreaker on points. A chance at a first-round bye is gone, but Gray would be dancing. 🕺
Lose and it gets dicey. In simulations where Gray lost his final game to Brandon, he still made the playoffs 6% of the time. That’s approximately the chance that Josh, Erik and Beth Ann ALL lose. If he can’t get to eight wins, he needs those team owners to lose too so he can beat them in points, setting up a playoff that includes the clinched teams (Chelsie, Nick, Samantha and Geoff) plus Brandon (who would be “in” under this scenario) and Gray. Because Brandon has already surpassed Gray in points (more on that in his section), there’s no scenario where Gray loses to Brandon but then beats him in points. So in the event Gray loses to Brandon, he would also lose to him in the tiebreaker, which means his only out is to hope that all the other seven-win teams lose too.
But the good news? Gray still controls his own destiny. Win and he’s in. He’ll need to shake off back-to-back 98-point games and is facing some stiff competition, but two down games in a row (the only two games in which Gray’s finished in the bottom half of the league in scoring) for the league’s best team could mean that a big game is coming. As Neve Campbell says at the end of Scream 3, “It’s your turn to scream, asshole.” 🔪👻
2. Brandon
6-7, .643 TW%, 125.7 ppg
Say hello to the league’s new points leader. With his third weekly prize of the season (including a flukey 31 points from the Browns D/ST), Brandon now leads all team owners with 1,634.6 points—25.48 points ahead of Gray. And in fact, for the first time since Week 5, a team owner is within arm’s reach of Gray for the top spot in the Power Rankings. If Brandon beats Gray this week, it’s possible he (or even Samantha or Nick) overtakes Gray for the top spot in the final Power Rankings of 2022.
Of course, we don’t play fantasy football for regular season awards. We play them for a championship. And you gotta make the playoffs first. Unfortunately, that’s still a long shot for Brandon. With one game to go, the computer gives him just a 17% chance—the longest odds of any team owner not yet eliminated.
So what does Brandon need?
Win against Gray to get to 7-7.
AND hope for two of Josh, Erik and Beth Ann to lose.
The best Brandon can do at this point is get to seven wins and hope for a tiebreaker. Luckily, he has plenty of points. But unluckily, there’s a good chance that won’t matter. With four teams with eight wins already, Brandon can only afford for one more team to get there. That means he needs at least two of Josh, Erik and Beth Ann to lose. The computer gives that a 37% chance.
But I wouldn’t be so sure, computer. That’s because while Josh has a tough game against Nick, both Erik and Beth Ann face the cushiest of cushy Week 14 matchups. Erik takes on Alex while Beth Ann faces Jess. No offense to either, but it’s not a stretch to say that these two team owners have struggled the most this year, largely due to injuries. And worse, both have significant players on bye in Week 14—Aaron Jones for Alex and Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman and Cordarrelle Patterson for Jess. That’s not a recipe for an upset.
Ironically, the plan I sketched out last week has largely come to fruition:
“Brandon already owns the tiebreaker over Josh, and he trails Gray by just 33.58 points. Beat them both, outscore Gray and then pray for Nick and Samantha to finish the job. That’s the path.”
Beat Josh. Outscore Gray. Pray Samantha beats Gray. Check, check and check. Beat Gray and hope Nick beats Josh and that’s checkmate on an epic comeback from a 1-6 start. The one wrinkle? Beth Ann. Thanks to her upset over Greco in Week 13, Brandon could suddenly be boxed out of the playoffs by the former champ. But that’s what fantasy is, after all—where our best-laid plans go to die.
Speaking of chaos, if Brandon beats Gray in Week 14 but fails to make the playoffs, we could be facing the very real possibility that the top two teams in the final Power Rankings both miss the playoffs. 🙀
3. Samantha
8-5, .629 TW%, 120.8 ppg
Third time’s the charm for Samantha who finally got the win she needed to punch her ticket for the playoffs. After two straight losses of 130+ points, Samantha would not be denied this time as she scored a season-high 152 points, defeating Gray but coming up just short of her first weekly prize since Week 3 of last year. Regardless, she gets the win and is now in sole possession of third place in the Power Rankings. She even ranks fifth in points after trailing in that category for much of the year. That’s because she’s been dominant down the stretch, leading all team owners in TW% (.740) and points (131.9 ppg) since Week 7.
The one prize left to claim? A first-round bye. The winner of her game vs. Geoff will get to nine wins. At that point, if Nick also wins, it’s a potential points tiebreaker with him who she trails by 33.34 points. Or if Chelsie loses, she would have to outscore her by just 17.26 points. Assuming the current tiebreakers hold, the computer gives Samantha a 22% chance at a first-round bye (Samantha beats Geoff, Nick loses to Josh), but given how close the points are right now between this group, I’d rate her chances even higher.
Samantha’s path to a first-round bye:
Win and Nick loses.
OR win and Nick wins and Samantha outscores him (33.34 points).
OR win and Chelsie loses and Samantha outscores her (17.26 points).
4. Nick (▼1)
8-5, .608 TW%, 123.4 ppg
Samantha has been better by TW%. But no team has won more games or scored more points than Nick over the last eight weeks. Since starting the season 1-4, Nick is 7-1 over the last eight weeks while averaging 128.1 ppg. If Gray and/or Brandon were to miss the playoffs, that would open up a big window of opportunity for Nick to go after his first championship. Thanks to his win in Week 13 over Erik, Nick has clinched his spot in the playoffs. And like Samantha, he will also be gunning for a first-round bye in Week 14.
But unlike Samantha, he’s currently the favorite to claim that bye thanks to the fact that he currently ranks third in scoring, but ahead of rivals Chelsie, Samantha and Geoff. To get that bye, he has to beat Josh and then potentially maintain his points edge over the other three. Given the fact that Geoff trails him by the most points, he’s probably rooting for Geoff to beat Samantha as that would pretty much guarantee him a bye if he’s able to beat Josh. But honestly, he’s in good shape either way. And even if the winner of that game does outscore him, he can always sneak past Chelsie if she loses her game against Greco.
In short, Nick’s path to a first-round bye:
Win and Samantha wins and she does not outscore him (33.34 points).
OR win and Geoff wins and Geoff does not outscore him (92.24 points).
OR win and Chelsie loses and she does not outscore him (16.08 points).
5. Chelsie
9-4, .580 TW%, 122.2 ppg
Take that, jinx! Chelsie clinched this week despite my insistence that she was a mortal lock. Despite finishing in the bottom half of the league in scoring for the third time in the last four weeks, Chelsie scored mored than enough points to take down Alex, ending a three-game losing streak and securing her spot in the playoffs in just her first season. 👏 Chelsie joins Brandon, Gray, Geoff, Alex, Josh and Samantha as the only team owners to make the playoffs in their debut seasons with Brandon as the only champion in his rookie year. For Chelsie to repeat that feat, she could certainly use a first-round bye. Thanks to her nine wins and her points lead over Samantha and Geoff, the computer believes she is a near-lock to get one of the top-two seeds. But the computer also assumes tiebreakers remain the same. And it’s incredibly close between her Nick and Samantha. So…she could still miss out. For that to happen, she’d have to lose to Greco and then lose a three-way tiebreaker between two other nine-win teams—Nick and the winner of Samantha vs. Geoff. So I’m sure she’ll be rooting for Josh (Nick’s opponent) and Geoff (because he has more points to make up). But even in her “doomsday” scenario, the picture is still pretty rosy. In fact, I guarantee Chelsie will have a first-round bye. See what I did there? 😉
Chelsie’s path to a first-round bye:
Win and she gets a bye.
OR lose and Nick also loses.
OR lose and she outscores Nick by 16.08 points.
OR lose and Samantha wins and Samantha does not outscore Chelsie (17.26 points).
OR lose and Geoff wins and he does not outscore Chelsie (76.16 points).
6. Geoff
8-5, .510 TW%, 116.3 ppg
Geoff capitalized on a matchup with Jess, scoring 136.3 points to claim his eighth victory and essentially clinch his spot in the playoffs. As was mentioned up top, Geoff would need a lot to go wrong to miss the playoffs now that he has eight wins. Basically, he’d have to lose to Samantha and then lose a six-way tiebreaker for one of four playoff spots. In his doomsday scenario, these are the five other eight-win teams that he’d be tied with plus Geoff and their current point totals.
Gray: 1,609.12
Nick: 1,604.10
Geoff: 1,511.86
Josh: 1,435.48
Erik: 1,428.98
Beth Ann: 1,401.38
As you can see, he’s firmly above Josh, Erik and Beth Ann and just needs to beat two of them in the event that he loses his Week 14 game to Samantha. That would take a difference of 76.38 points for Josh, 82.88 points for Erik and 110.48 points for Beth Ann. And remember, TWO of those three would have to make up that difference in scoring. So you’d need Geoff to have a really bad day (his season-low is 79.36 points) with Josh and Erik scoring in the 160-point range. Not impossible. But really unlikely. That’s why I gave him the asterisk and will not be listing his playoff scenarios. Basically, as long as everything I just said doesn’t happen, he’ll be fine.
On the other end of the spectrum, no team has a wider range of outcomes this week than Geoff who could technically miss the playoffs or claim a first-round bye. For the latter to happen, it’s a similar list of scenarios as those for Samantha. The key difference? He has a lot fewer points. So since he’s unlikely to catch Nick or Chelsie in points, his best bet is to just beat Samantha and then hope that Nick loses to Josh.
Geoff’s path to a first-round bye:
Win and Nick loses.
OR win and Nick wins and Geoff outscores him (92.24 points).
OR win and Chelsie loses and Geoff outscores her (76.16 points).
Regardless, if everything goes according to plan, Geoff should have the first back-to-back playoff appearances of his career.
T7. Greco (▲2)
5-8, .469 TW%, 111.6 ppg
RIP to Greco’s season. 🪦💀
A team that had so much promise early has seen its season come to an end. It wasn’t that long ago that I was warning the league about Greco’s potential as a rocket ship headed to the moon. Unfortunately, that voyage crashed somewhere around Week 8. Remember, through the first seven weeks, Greco was third in TW% (.558) and scoring (119.3 ppg) with the best RB room in the league (40.4 ppg). As a reminder, her roster included Nick Chubb, Josh Jacobs and David Montgomery, not to mention a trade that netted her Antonio Gibson. For a team owner that spent two of her first three picks on WRs, that’s some impressive stuff. And just as her WRs were starting to catch fire, it all blew up in her face. Despite her considerable bench depth, simultaneous injuries to Ja’Marr Chase and Mike Williams derailed her season. Down the stretch, her TW% (.364) and scoring (102.5 ppg) plummeted, both ranked 10th in the league from Weeks 8-13. Needing to win out, Greco’s Hail Mary trade of shrewd sixth-round pick Josh Jacobs for Lamar Jackson fizzled with Jacobs outscoring Jackson 88.3-39.86 over the last three weeks, culminating in Jackson’s injury this week.
This week, she was finally eliminated following her loss to Beth Ann. And ironically, it happened just as Chase and Williams are returning to full health. Count the rest of the league lucky they won’t have to face her in the playoffs. Despite her second-straight losing season, Greco’s team was much improved this year, boasting her best TW% since 2017. And if it weren’t for some poor injury luck, it could have been even better. As she moves into the consolation ladder, Greco is safe from a bottom-two seed. Even in a loss in Week 14, she would beat Jess in a tiebreaker. Still, she’ll battle with the rest of the playoff absentees to avoid the Poop Bowl where she narrowly escaped the league’s first punishment last year.
T7. Erik
7-6, .469 TW%, 109.9 ppg
Now things get interesting. While Erik doesn’t control his own destiny, he’s actually favored among the five teams that have not yet clinched a spot in the playoffs. The computer gives him a 58% chance, which is better than the odds for Gray, Josh, Beth Ann or Brandon. Why is that? His Week 14 opponent, Alex. Given Erik’s dearth of points (currently ninth), he needs to get to eight wins to make the playoffs. And he has the best opportunity to get that win, considering Alex has just two wins all season.
If Erik can beat Alex, he’d get to 8-6. At that point, the only way he wouldn’t make the playoffs is if he lost a tiebreaker to the other eight-win teams. Excluding Chelsie who already has nine wins, that group could potentially include Nick, Samantha and Geoff (who already have eight wins) plus Gray, Josh, Erik and Beth Ann for a total of seven teams vying for five spots. In that case, Erik would need to finish ahead of two of those teams in order to make the playoffs. Here’s where they currently stand in points:
Gray: 1,609.12
Nick: 1,604.10
Samantha: 1,570.76
Geoff: 1,511.86
Josh: 1,435.48
Erik: 1,428.98
Beth Ann: 1,401.38
As you can see, Erik currently falls in the bottom two. Not good. So if everyone gets to eight wins and his current standing within the tiebreaker holds, he’d be out. But the good news is that Josh is easily within striking distance, leading Erik by just 6.5 points. To make the playoffs with a win, Erik would only need for Gray or Josh to lose or to simply catch Josh in points while keeping Beth Ann (who he leads by 27.6 points) at arm’s length.
And if he loses, despite what the Wall of Destiny says, it’s not actually curtains for Erik. He would need Gray to win (so that Brandon doesn’t get to seven wins) and both Josh and Beth Ann to lose too. Then he’d have to outscore Josh by 6.5 points to sneak in as the six seed with the tiebreaker. Again, the Wall of Destiny doesn’t account for this because it assumes tiebreakers stay the same. But if Erik is able to outscore Josh, he’d have about a 5% chance of making the playoffs even in the event of a loss.
Remember, these numbers assume tiebreakers stay the same. But they can and will change!
I know it sounds convoluted, but Erik is actually in pretty good shape. If he can simply beat Alex, there’s a good chance that either Gray or Josh lose to Brandon or Nick. And even if they don’t, he can make up the points on Josh. In short, if the chalk holds, Erik should be playoff bound.
Erik’s path to the playoffs:
Win and Gray or Josh lose and Beth Ann loses or does not outscore Erik (27.6 points).
OR win and outscore Josh (6.5 points) and Beth Ann loses or does not outscore Erik (27.6 points).
OR lose and Brandon, Josh and Beth Ann lose and Erik outscores Josh (6.5 points) and Beth Ann does not outscore Erik (27.6 points).
9. Josh (▼1)
7-6, .448 TW%, 110.4 ppg
If the playoffs ended today, Josh would be in. But unfortunately for Josh and Kenneth Walker’s ankle, we’ve still got one week to go. And his situation is remarkably similar to Erik’s. The one difference? He plays Nick instead of Alex. And while Alex hasn’t touched the league average for points (113.9) since October, Nick does it routinely, topping that mark in eight out of the last nine weeks.
That being said, because of his points lead over Erik, Josh still controls his own destiny. If he can keep Erik and Beth Ann behind him in the tiebreaker, a win would lock up his spot in the playoffs. And if he does lose, he can still make the playoffs as long as Erik and Beth Ann also lose while remaining behind him in the tiebreaker. In that scenario, like with Erik, he would also need Gray to beat Brandon so that Brandon wouldn’t suddenly enter the tiebreaker as a seven-win team with the league-lead in points.
It seems like a good position to be in, but the schedule makes it hard. And Josh needs to rebound from his disappointing 92-point day in Week 13 with some firepower to take down one of the league’s best teams in Week 14. For the team owner that restructured his roster following the twin busts of Javonte Williams and Cam Akers, Josh has done more with less. Will Josh return to the playoffs and claim his first winning season since 2019? Or will Nick avenge his Week 3 loss and potentially send Josh packing?
Josh’s path to the playoffs:
Win and maintain his points lead over Erik (6.5 points) and Beth Ann (34.1 points).
OR win and Gray loses and Josh maintains his points lead over Erik (6.5 points) or Beth Ann (34.1 points).
OR win and Erik and Beth Ann lose.
OR lose and Brandon, Josh and Beth Ann lose and Josh maintains his points lead over Erik (6.5 points) and Beth Ann (34.1 points).
10. Beth Ann
7-6, .427 TW%, 107.8 ppg
The dark horse rides into Week 14! 🐎
No one would have anticipated it at the beginning of the season, but with repeat matchups against Alex, Greco and Jess, Beth Ann got the easiest schedule in the league this season. Those three all rank in the bottom half of the Power Rankings with an average TW% of .336. By contrast, Josh’s rivals (Samantha, Brandon and Nick) were the toughest with a TW% of .627.
So despite the fact that Beth Ann was 4-6 entering the final four weeks of the season and likely needing to win out, her prospects weren’t as dire as they seemed. After upsetting Nick in Week 10—his only loss in the last eight weeks, by the way—Beth Ann suddenly found herself walking a gilded road. And now that road ends here in Week 14 with Jess whose team has not only been decimated by injuries but by the final bye week as well. That means no Jonathan Taylor, no Michael Pittman and no Cordarrelle Patterson. Meanwhile, Beth Ann’s team is actually looking…fierce. With 139.82 points scored in Week 13, Beth Ann posted her second-highest score of the season thanks largely to a finally healthy D’Andre Swift plus emerging talents Tony Pollard and Garrett Wilson.
If Beth Ann can finish the job against Jess, she’s in a real good position to sneak into the playoffs even with her double-digit standing in the Power Rankings. But she will need some help. Given that she trails every non-eliminated team owner in points, she has to either avoid the tiebreaker or make up the points. Specifically, she needs to pass Josh and Erik.
The easiest way to do it would be for at least two of the other seven-win teams (Gray, Josh and Erik) to lose. But if they do win, she’ll need to pass them in points. At this point, Gray is out of reach. But Josh and Erik aren’t too far away. She’ll need 34.1 points to catch Josh and 27.6 points to catch Erik, and if Gray wins, she’ll have to catch them both. The computer gives her a 31% chance to make the playoffs, but she can improve those odds if she piles on the points. And even if she loses, there’s still a scenario where she makes the playoffs despite what the Wall of Destiny says if she can make up the points.
Bottom line: Despite just four weeks all season in which she finished in the top half of the league in scoring, Beth Ann is a very real threat to sneak into the playoffs with a win over Jess. And from there…who knows?
Beth Ann’s path to the playoffs:
Win and at least two of Gray, Josh and Erik lose.
OR win and Gray loses and Beth Ann outscores Josh (34.1 points) or Erik (27.6 points).
OR win and Josh or Erik lose and Beth Ann outscores the other (Josh: 34.1 points, Erik: 27.6 points).
OR win and Beth Ann outscores Josh (34.1 points) and Erik (27.6 points).
OR lose and Brandon, Josh and Erik lose and Beth Ann outscores Josh (34.1 points) and Erik (27.6 points).
11. Jess (▲1)
4-9, .273 TW%, 98.3 ppg
What’s at stake for Jess this week? As long as she doesn’t finish with the lowest score of Week 14, Jess will avoid posting the worst season of her career. The problem is…I think there’s a really good chance (given the injuries and the bye week) that she does. But beyond infamy, with a bottom-two seed in the consolation ladder locked up, Jess is hoping to play spoiler this week. A win over Beth Ann would almost certainly knock Beth Ann out of the playoffs. And these two have history. You might recall that last season, Jess finished 7-7 and missed the playoffs by the narrowest of margins. And the team owner that gave her the second-biggest beating that year? Beth Ann. If Jess wins their Week 7 game, she’s in the playoffs. Instead, Beth Ann sent her packing. Now Jess has an opportunity to return the favor. Am I stretching things to really pin it all on Beth Ann? Sure. But how’s that for bulletin board material?
12. Alex (▼1)
2-11, .266 TW%, 96.1 ppg
With a loss to Chelsie in Week 13, Alex has now broken his own personal record for most losses in a season with 11. If he loses one more game, he’ll tie the all-time record of 12 currently held by Nick (2020). Already assured of the worst season of his career by TW%, Alex is playing for pride. And like Jess, he has the chance to play spoiler by knocking off Erik. With a career record of 9-10 against Erik, Alex can even the ledger with a win in Week 14.
Looking Ahead to Week 14
That’s it for the Week 13 Power Rankings and everything is on the line.
Four have clinched.
Three are eliminated.
Five are jockeying for the final two spots.
But literally every game matters with implications rippling throughout the playoffs. Can Chelsie secure the one seed? Will Samantha or Geoff win their game and take hold of a first-round bye? Or will it be Nick? Speaking of Nick, can Josh hold him off, not to mention outscore Erik, to make the playoffs? Will Beth Ann sneak in as a dark horse team to defend her title? Might Jess or Alex play spoiler? And is Gray vs. Brandon a championship preview of the league’s two best teams? Or simply two team owners that will miss the playoffs entirely? Astoundingly, both are possible!
I can’t watch!! 🫣
