It's week 12 and with only two weeks remaining in the regular season, the playoffs are nearly upon us. Two teams stand in the lead at 8-3, with three teams following closely at one game back. The health of these teams varies greatly, as some have been well nurtured while others have neglected. It seems appropriate, therefore, to take a step back and consider which teams are most likely to make the playoffs, win the championship, and take the sacko. 

Championship Favourite: Dime Bag Swagger Gordons 

The Swagger Gordons have scored the most fantasy points for a reason: they are an all-round strong team. They are the clear favourites to win the championship and have a strong group of RBs and WRs, a top notch TE and a great DEF and K. Also, Jay Cutler. This may well be the Swagger Gordons' year!

Rank 2: Handegg Hooligans 

The Hooligans have scored the second most points this season and are currently riding a seven week win streak. As such, they are the clear second favourite for the championship. Their weakpoint has been QB, mostly due to the Hooligans' strategy picking four shitty QBs during the draft. Apparently QB quality is more important than QB quality. Who knew? The Hooligans finally corrected that weakness and traded for Roethlisberger yesterday, one hour before the trade deadline. 

Rank 3: RG300 Thread Counts 

RG300 had a great start to the season and should be strong in the playoffs. With Aaron Rodgers and a good selection of RBs and WRs, RG300 has a very solid team with plenty of depth in the most important positions.

Rank 4: I Dont Remember The Titans 

Who needs RBs, TEs or WRs? The Titans are riding on the back of the top scoring QB, the second top scoring kicker, and the DEF that is generally considered to be the top ranked for the remainder of the season. Just remember kids: RB/TE/WRs get injured, but kickers and defences are for life.

Rank 5: Trix of the Trade 

Josh Gordon will deliver Trix unto the playoffs.

Rank 6: O Kaeptain! My Kaeptain!   

O Kaeptain will likely finish with two wins and make the playoffs on a four week wining streak. Strong at every position, O Kaeptain are a true dark horse to win the championship, particularly if Phillip Rivers remembers how to play.

Rank 7: Turn Down For Watt 

Turn Down For Watt are sitting pretty at 7-3 but must finish against the twin Gordons: the Swagger Gordons and Trix Gordons. Despite the tough finish, WATT are strong at every position except QB and TE, so they have a chance to do some damage in the playoffs.

Rank 8: Washington Mullets: 

The Washington Mullets had a great start to the season, but have recently suffered from their lack of a decent, healthy RB. While the recent trade for Alfred Morris has improved their RB situation, the Mullets gave up Giovani Bernard in the trade. Every fantasy team loses good players to injury and poor form and must play the waivers and trade to remain strong. The mullets did not do that, having made only three transactions, including their decision to drop Julian Edelman. Despite this, the Mullets will likely limp in to the playoffs.

Sacko: Dumpster Grill

This dumpster fire started early, and there haven't been any serious attempts to extinguish it. Lacking even one half-decent RB, the Dumpster Grill is my pick to take the Sacko.
