Waiver Wonders: TE Dallas Goedert (28.5), WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (24.8), WR Russell Gage (22)
What-if of the Week: If Sneen Machine RB Darrell Henderson were declared inactive, Sneen might have been forced to dig in free agency for a FLEX option (or he could have just started the underwhelming 3.6 points of WR DeVonta Smith) and he could have replaced that 0.0 with somebody that could have cut into that 9.38-point loss to Cole.

Bro...

I hope you are all enjoying this slog of a fantasy football season because I actually am despite the mountain of injured football players I have to walk around carefully on my way to work every night. There seem to be entire teams like the Saints, Ravens, Giants and Titans NOT fielding formidable NFL lineups just on their injured reserves! It wouldn't be so difficult to maneuver if it weren't for the week-to-week game-time decisions like last week's Darrell Henderson ACTIVE but not really playing fiasco! (thanks Sean McVay) Even with Nick Zurawski hovering his posterior over the throne (nobody gets to sit in it until they actually win the championship) at 12-1, I'm starting to notice the very real competitive sides come out in the other postseason contenders. For instance, that Darrell Henderson active rest game could have seriously shifted fortunes with a Sneen Machine upset over the Colieveland 96ers had he just cut somebody on his bench for Michel but, once reports came out about an hour earlier than gametime that the Rams bell-cow RB was ACTIVE with skepticism surrounding his involvement, Cole JUMPED on the waiver wire and snagged Sony Michel for his bench just so Tyler couldn't have him. That ninth dimensional Trivia Pursuit type of shit is the stuff I respect the hell out of and the NFC LEAST is no more! After winning by single digits over Sneen, Cole's 96ers take on the Tax Paying Homeowner Alec Swanson in the only week 14 matchup that should raise any eyebrows for the winner will prevail as 2021 Tanner Glaza Division Champions at 9-5(!) after one bro will get their fourth consecutive win. It is truly amazing that there's a very real chance of Team Chowhounds finishing below one of these two in win percentage. 

AP
The Colieveland 96ers owe a huge debt to the 6-7 Miami Dolphins on their own 5-game winning streak aiding his 3-game hot streak.

Week 14 should still provide some other flashes of fruitful fantasy football fun as the 96ers now have to survive a week without RB Myles Gaskin, WR Jaylen Waddle, TE Mike Gesicki and the ever-clutch Miami Dolphins defense. It would have been of immense help for Cole had RB D'Andre Swift returned from his shoulder injury but the Lions finally won(!) so they don't have to waste his legs anymore. With Panthers RB Christian McCaffery done for the season again, it's all aboard the Chuba Choo-Choo train for Walters in week 14! In a blessing sent by the fantasy gods, Alec will be without RB1 and 2021 fantasy MVP candidate Jonathan Taylor due to his bye week, thus evening their matchup a bit more fairly perhaps? Nick looks to cap off a 13-1 regular season versus division rival Darrin Aschebrook, though there really isn't much of a rivalry there anymore considering the recent results of said rivals (see: Bears-Packers. Does Darrin know that Tyreek Hill owns him yet?). Finally in a weird twist of fate, the four playoff teams face each other and the four Sacko contenders face each other as Sneen hopes for both RB Dalvin Cook and Henderson to return at fullest strength in order to avoid double-digit losses against Hoefs as he tries to do the same. Oh, and me? I'm just going to start throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks against Ryan. Might be feeling like a Godwin Igwebuike/Austin Walter type of week. Good luck to all as we hopefully avoid these same exact matchups next week in the postseason for parity's sake.
