2017 KOTS Week 13 Power Rankings
The Final week of the King Of The Shack Fantasy Football regular season is finally here! Owners have fought throughout the course of the season, and for some, it all comes down to Week 13 to make the season worth-while. While many teams have either secured a ticket straight to the offseason, a select few have mastered this season with pride and skill and are ready to do battle in the 2017 KOTS Playoffs. With 5 of the final 6 playoff spots already decided, Juan Too Many led by owner Josh Bruckert will play for the final spot this week. A loss still might sneak him in, but that is not a risk that Juan Too Many is wanting to take.

Most Points Scored: Team Prime: 186 total points scored
Least Points Scored: Silly Nannies: 104 total points scored

Power Rankings
Clinched Top Seed- #1 - Team Prime (10-2) Last Week: 1 (This Week: Juan Too Many)
After suffering defeat in Week 11, Team Prime rebounded very nicely in Week 12, overwhelming Silly Nannies (7-5) by a final score of 186-104. In the 82 point blowout, Team Prime was led by rookie Alvin Kamara (36 points) who has been tearing up the league this season, dominating both on the ground and through the air. Marvin Jones (28 points) hauled in 2 TD's on Thanksgiving day, while adding 109 receiving yards on top of that to give him arguably his best game of the season. Russell Wilson (23 points) is again on fire late in the season, giving Team Prime an edge over everyone in the league right now at the quarterback position. With the #1 seed now clinched in this years playoffs, Team Prime can rest easy knowing that his Week 13 matchup with Juan Too Many (6-6) cannot change his fate as this years regular season champion.
X - #2 - Hernandez Hitmen (9-3) Last Week: 2 (This Week: 99 Problems But A Lynch Ain't One)
X - #3 - I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet (8-4) Last Week: 3 (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)
I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet fell short of victory in Week 12, being upset by 99 Problems But A Lynch Ain't One (4-8) by a final score of 139-163. The loss still puts Zac in great position heading into the post-season, but the does raise some eyebrows as a few of Zac's key players have been struggling. Alex Smith (12 points) went from MVP candidate, back to normal Alex Smith this back half of the season, and did it again in Week 12 against the Bills. While Devante Adams (19 points) continues his rapport with Brett Hundley, his 82 receiving yards were not enough to bring I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet back into arms length of this one. Zac holds one of the most talented rosters in the league, and will no doubt be a force in the KOTS Playoffs in a weeks time, but if a team can catch him on an off day again, we could see another upset. Week 13 will put Zac up against Rudy Was Offsides (4-8) in a regular season finale that is sure to be entertaining.
X - #4 ↑ Gronkemon Go (7-5) Last Week: 5 (This Week: TFuchs)
Gronkemon Go is hotter than a summer day in Mexico, winning his 5th straight matchup in Week 12, against Martellus All About It (4-8) winning by a close score of 126-119. The win boosts Gronkemon Go currently into the 4th playoff spot if he maintains this play and could be the dark horse candidate to win the KOTS Playoffs. After being in 9th place, just 5 weeks ago, Gronkemon Go has turned the corner and is ready to take on anyone. Cam Newton (16 points) has the Carolina Panthers in playoff contention, and is the motor behind a now powerful offense, and Devin Funchess (17 points) is his counterpart as the tandem terrorizes the rest of the league. Jack Doyle (16 points) is lights out at the tight end position, giving Gronkemon Go a great advantage from that standpoint as well. In Week 13, Gronkemon Go will have to be firing on all cyliders, as TFuchs (5-7) comes to town, desperate for a win. If Justin can get consistent play from his team, which has been the only knock all year, he could find himself hoisting the Shack Daddy trophy at years end.
The Silly Nannies train continues to roll on, and Jake will make his first playoff appearance since joining the King Of The Shack Fantasy Football League. With a 7-5 record, Silly Nannies can solidify the #5 spot in the playoffs with a win in week 13. Unfortunately, Jake fell victim to the league dominator, Team Prime (10-2) in Week 12, losing by a final score of 104-186, in one of Silly Nannies worst performances of the year. Better to get it out of the way now. Despite Case Keenum (27 points) and Adrian Peterson (13 points) putting up some excellent numbers, given their matchups, Jake was unable to get that effort from the rest of his team as only 5 of his 13 starters were able to reach double digits. Michael Crabtree (Suspended) was tossed in Week 12 for fighting, and will now miss the Week 13 game, putting Silly Nannies in a bit of a hole if Juju Smith-Schuster (Hamstring) is unable to go this weekend as well. In Week 13, Silly Nannies will wrap up the regular season with a matchup against Ballz Deep! (5-7) with the potential to either jump into the 4 seed, or fall to the 6th, all hands must be on deck for Jake this weekend.
#6 - Juan Too Many (6-6) Last Week: 6 (This Week: Team Prime)
It all comes down to this for Juan Too Many. Week 13. With only 1 win in the last 6 weeks, Juan Too Many is reeling, and desperate for a win. With the 6th and final position still open, it is Juan Too Many's for the taking if he can take care of business in Week 13. In Week 12, Juan Too many fell short of the goal against Ballz Deep! (5-7) losing by a close score of 134-140. For Josh, the poor efforts of Mark Ingram (5 points) and Jerick McKinnon (6 points) greatly cost him in this one, falling below their expected out put and costing Juan Too Many a very big game. Despite Zach Ertz (26 points) putting up a monster effort after finally getting healthy, it was not enough as Rishard Matthew (0 points) was blanked against the Colts defense and lost Juan Too Many the matchup. In Week 13, Team Prime (10-2) awaits, while a loss will not immediately knock Juan Too Many out of the playoffs, it most certainly could. If TFuchs can get a win, and score enough points to jump Juan Too Many in the standings the deed will be done. A win and Josh is in, a loss and it will come down to the final scores!
#7 ↑ TFuchs (5-7) Last Week: 9 (This Week: Gronkemon Go)
TFuchs is still alive, and while the odds are stacked against him, there is still light at the end of the tunnel and barring a miracle, TFuchs could sneak into the playoffs as the #6 seed. In Week 12, Tyler took down Game Of Jones (3-9) by a final score of 156-135, giving TFuchs his fifth win of the season and keeping his hopes alive. Rookies Joe Mixon (25 points) and Robby Anderson (32 points) both finding their rhythm late in the season, TFuchs is a team that can rack up the points in a hurry and do some damage. Todd Gurley (16 points) has been a menace all season long, and Tyler will have to rely on some big performances from this trio if he wants that final playoff position. In Week 13 the perfect storm is brewing. Gronkemon Go (7-5) welcomes TFuchs in what should be a barn burner, Tyler will have to have a high scoring output no matter what, and if he can knock off Justin, then it will come down to a bit of luck to get him into the 2017 KOTS Playoffs!
#8 ↓Ballz Deep! (5-7) Last Week: 7 (This Week: Silly Nannies)
While technically the playoffs are not out of the question, the odds are stacked up against Ballz Deep! heading into Week 13. Despite a monumental victory in Week 12, which saw Ballz Deep! take down Juan Too Many (6-6) by a final score of 140-134, a miracle would have to take place for Kipp to make it into the playoffs. In Week 12, Keenan Allen (34 points), Jamison Crowder (27 points) and Alshon Jeffrey (16 points) all had huge performances, and Ballz Deep! would have to rely on a replication of these scores, and maybe more if he wanted to jump both TFuchs (5-7) and Juan Too Many (6-6) to get the final playoff spot. With Marcus Mariota (7 points) struggling to produce consistency this year, it could be the end of the line for Ballz Deep! who has fought hard all season long. In Week 13, Silly Nannies (7-5) will face off against Matt, in a very important game for both teams, if Ballz Deep! cannot make the playoffs, look for him to at least play spoiler over Silly Nannies regular season finale.
E - #9 ↓ Martellus All About It (4-8) Last Week: 8 (This Week: Game Of Jones)
Alas, the Cinderella story that Martellus All About It had once hoped for has now vanished, as the KOTS Playoffs are now out of reach for Logan after a Week 12 defeat. The loss brings pain, for the first year owner, but Martellus All About It will now fight for the #1 pick in the 2018 Draft as the post-season approaches. In his very close loss to Gronkemon Go (7-5), falling 119-126 Martellus All About it was let down at multiple positional players who simply did not show up on Sunday. Leonard Fournette (6 points) put forth another disappointing performance, in what has been a dreadful second half of the season for the rookie. T.Y Hilton (3 points) and Emmanuel Sanders (4 points) both have been up and down players this season and proved it once again in Week 12 with miserable performances. In Week 13, Martellus All About It will wrap up the regular season with a matchup against Game Of Jones (3-9) as the two face off in what will likely be a preview for a future matchup in the Losers Bracket come playoff time.
When you look at the injuries that have decimated this 99 Problems But A Lynch Ain't One, you have to sit in appreciation for owner Juan Dominguez, who has raised this team from the pit of misery, up to a 4-8 record as the regular season is about to end. Dilly dilly! Juan has faced tough situations all year and has battled valiantly, missing out on 3, what could have been victories, and had the game-script gone a bit differently, we could be looking at a playoff team even with all of the key injuries. In Week 12, 99 Problems But A Lynch Ain't One took down I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet (8-4) by a final score of 163-139. It was a huge upset throughout the league and although Juan has been eliminated from the playoffs, he looks promising to make a run at the #1 pick in the draft as the playoffs begin. Jared Goff (20 points) and the Chargers DST (22 points) have been very hot as of late and should continue to make strides as the season continues. In Week 13, Juan will end the season with another upset bid against Hernandez Hitmen (9-3) in what should be one of the most watched matchups of the weekend.
E - #11 ↓ Rudy Was Offsides (4-8) Last Week: 10 (This Week: I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet)
Oh no! What is that off in the distance!? A bird! A plane!? No, its the memories of the 2008 Detroit Lions, and its heading straight this way! Rudy Was Offsides has been eliminated from the 2017 KOTS Playoffs after a very disappointing season. Due maybe to a bit of owner action, Luke didn't have it in him this year as his Rudy Was Offsides team sits at 4-8 with one week in the regular season to go. In Week 12, Rudy Was Offsides fell in a close matchup with Hernandez Hitmen (9-3) losing by a final score of 135-145. With Le'Veon Bell (28 points) and Jamaal Williams (28 points) both putting up huge performances on the ground, Luke kept this one interesting, but the very poor play of Dak Prescott (3 points) ultimately did Rudy Was Offsides in, and cost him dearly. Luke will look to rebound in Week 13, facing off against I Can't Think Of Anything Clever Yet (8-4), where he will play the underdog role.
E - #12 - Game Of Jones (3-9) Last Week: 12 (This Week: Martellus All About It)
Game Of Jones is in the cellar, re-thinking the season and trying to put the pieces of a broken fantasy back together. Nathan fell victim to TFuchs (5-7) in Week 12, losing by a score of 135-156, giving Game Of Jones a league high 9 losses on the season, and putting him into contention for the #1 pick in next years 2018 KOTS Draft. Despite Julio Jones (51 points) coming alive, and Kyle Rudolph (22 points) putting out good numbers on the offensive end as well, the two combined for 73 of the 135 total that Game Of Jones was able to produce. In Week 13, Game Of Jones will look to build a bit of confidence heading into the Losers Bracket in a weeks time. Martellus All About It (4-8) will face-off against Nathan in a battle between two of the bottom dwellers.
