Fantasy Football Shithead of the Week... Week 14

Instead of the usual junk, I will just say it in a powerful one word sentence. Win. I don't know if there is another word I love more than that. I hate losing at ANYTHING, even something as little fantasy football. This week was the last of the regular season where my team beat Formally Fun 121-79. Another mauling and just another days work bringing my final record to 10-3-1. Next week starts the first round of the playoffs and this is where it gets interesting. Instead of feasting on all of these bad teams every week, I actually have to play the other good teams. Makes me a it nervous. I ended up being the number two seed in the tournament, losing out to space Monkey Mafia, a team I beat a few weeks earlier. I have all the confidence in the world my team will do well in the playoffs.
With that said, this week wasn't even a challenge. Drew Brees, LeSean McCoy, and Antonio Brown all had great games once again and continue to roll with the points. But like any other week, that doesn't mean there wasn't a player on my team who disappointed. With that said...

Introducing your week 14 Shithead of the Week... for an impressive third week in a row, Michael Turner!


I didn't think it was possible, but there was actually a person on my team who won three Shithead awards during my 14 week stint. It is from an unlikely source as well. three weeks ago the Atlanta Falcons had an identity... THEY RAN THE FOOTBALL. Mike Mularkey, the offensive coordinator of the Falcons, all of a sudden thinks that the way to win is to throw the ball 40 times a game. This is why they have lost two of their last five games and are barely in position for a playoff birth. It is either the fact that Mularkey, a former Steeler offensive coordinator, is an idiot or Turner's legs have stopped working. Maybe it is a mixture of both. I put my money on that option. I am going to ask him a question.

Hey Mike, what would you do when facing the Browns defense, probably the worst rushing defense to ever grace the NFL?




Ummm... wrong... dead wrong Mike. Thanks for dressing up though. This wasn't a job interview or anything you doofus.

As for the other Mike, I have not given up hope on you yet my friend. The running game is a lost art and you are one of the best running backs in the league. Plus, I literally don't have a better back up so I have no other choice to believe in you. But like I said, I will go with the first option. But I don't know if its his legs or his pride that hurts.
