Week 12 Recap

🔪🦃 Week 12: Feast, Famine, and Turkey-Sized Chaos 🦃 🔪

Week 12 served up a fantasy feast with all the trimmings: upsets, playoff panic, and a few teams gobbling up some much-needed wins. As the fantasy turkey gets carved up, we’re left with a playoff picture that’s messier than your drunk uncle’s gravy pour. Let’s pass the mashed potatoes and dig into the chaos.

With three weeks left until the playoffs, things are spicier than grandma’s “secret recipe” stuffing.

• Jason and DJ are the cranberry sauce of this league—often overlooked but suddenly showing up strong. They both roasted top-tier turkeys this week, taking down third-place Rob and fourth-place Andy. Their playoff hopes are slim, but for now, they’re still at the table.

  
  

• Andy is the green bean casserole nobody’s sure about. Sitting in fourth place, he’s teetering between beloved side dish and trash-worthy leftovers. Josh is right behind him with a better Points For, ready to take that last playoff spot like the last dinner roll.

  
  

• Speaking of Josh, he’s like that one cousin who loads up on everything and somehow still goes back for seconds. He’s one win behind Andy and making up a plateful of points.

  
  

• Jason? He’s got to win out and somehow make up 100 points, which is about as likely as getting through dinner without grandma dropping a thinly veiled racist jab at your cousins new boyfriend.

  
  

• And then there’s DJ, who’s carving up momentum with two wins in a row. He could leapfrog Andy by winning his last three games. Someone pass him the gravy—he’s rolling.

  
  

Meanwhile, Week 13 features Andy vs. Matt, a matchup that could decide who gets dessert and who’s stuck washing dishes.

🥧 Bonus Summaries: Turkey Day Specials 🥧

Weekly High Score Bonus:

Josh piled his plate high and grabbed the high score for the first time this season. Looks like someone finally figured out how to work the turkey fryer.

Biggest Blowout Bonus:

Nothing to report here—everyone showed up with a fork this week, and the feast stayed competitive.

A Win’s a Win Bonus:

Still no changes. Winning ugly is still winning, like sneaking that last biscuit when no one’s looking.

Survivor Pool:

Chris pulled a 30-point comeback on Adam like a Hail Mary pass to save Thanksgiving dinner. We’re down to Chris and Josh—may the best fantasy pilgrim win.

 🍗 Matchup Recaps: Turkey Trot Throwdowns 🌽

Puttin’ on the Ritz (Adam) vs THE Gimpledaumus (Josh)

Adam is officially on a two-game losing streak, drying up faster than an un-brined turkey leg. He’s still holding onto second place, but if Josh keeps stuffing points on his plate like this, Adam might find himself at the kids’ table. Josh, meanwhile, showed up to the buffet ready to feast, closing a 40-points for gap in the playoff race.

The BIG Show (Chris) vs Tua-Tang Clan (Matt)

Chris becomes the first team to clinch a playoff spot, he’s reclining on the couch with his belt undone, while the rest of us fight over scraps. Matt, meanwhile, stumbled at the worst time. His comeback story is still alive, but he’s got to get past Andy to keep his playoff plate from being cleared.

Trash Panda (Jason) vs Team Cady (Rob)

Jason finally snapped his losing streak like a Thanksgiving wishbone, and for the first time since Week 3, the wish actually came true. Rob, sitting comfortably in third place, didn’t seem to mind. His playoff spot is almost guaranteed, so he probably just nibbled at this matchup and saved room for dessert.

Tua 3, 4 Concussions (Andy) vs nWo4LIFE (DJ)

DJ went full Thanksgiving miracle this week, serving up back-to-back wins for the first time all season—like the underdog uncle who brings a secret-recipe pecan pie that steals the dessert table spotlight. Andy’s momentum is collapsing faster than Aunt Carol’s souffle, losing two games in a row for the first time this season. He’s still in fourth place, but with Josh breathing down his neck and DJ charging from behind, he’s got more to worry about than running out of pumpkin pie.

🍽️ Looking Ahead: Leftovers and Playoff Hopes 🍽️

With just three weeks left in the regular season, here’s what’s cooking:

• Can DJ keep basting his winning streak and serve up the ultimate playoff surprise?

  
  

• Will Jason finish strong, or is he destined to be the fruitcake of this league—showing up but never really wanted?

  
  

• Can Andy cling to that fourth playoff spot, or will Josh scoop it up like the last slice of pie?

  
  

• And will Rob and Adam bounce back, or are they already too stuffed to fight for top seeds?

  
  

Next week’s matchups are loaded with potential drama. Until then, enjoy your leftovers, watch your kickers like a hawk, and remember: even when your fantasy team is a disaster, you’ll always be better than cranberry sauce. Happy feasting, and may your rosters be as stacked as your plates!
