Let's remember some guys with our guillotine League elimination update presented by Liquid Death.
Every week, we reveal the five most cut players that played.
The week before from eliminated teams, essentially the guys that had some duds and cost people their seasons.
Then we debate which of the five you should break the bank on to go get on your guillotine league.
Coming in at number 5, we've got a tie here at 19%.
It's one guy, yeah, I told you so, there was gonna be a down week any day now.
And the other one that I really don't want to acknowledge here, 19% of teams with DK Metcalf and Roma Duonze eliminated.
Yes, let's be fair here, Roma Doune cost.
last week.
Oh man, #4, the pain continues for Matt Harmon.
20% of the teams with Tucker Craft eliminated, but he's in a better place.
Don't worry.
Romeo Dobbs said he's in a better place.
So he's not on your Guillotine League teams anymore.
He's not on your fans teams anymore, but he's in a better place.
Number 3, 22% of the teams with Jamirer Gibbs eliminated.
What is going on with Jamir Gibbs costing you a week?
That's brutal.
But the pain keeps on rolling here cause #2, most eliminated teams, 23% of teams with Patrick Mahomes eliminated zone coverage.
Buffalo Bills, he should have tore that matchup up.
They tore him apart instead.
Don't worry, he's still gonna beat him in the playoffs though cause that's what happens every single year.
And number one on the most eliminated teams, he's scored 3 touchdowns like it's his freaking job cause, oh yeah, it is his job.
Then he goes into Pittsburgh.
This easily beatable defense and then 23% of the teams with Jonathan Taylor are eliminated.
Oh my God, Ray.
I mean, it, you know the season is getting to a point here where it's painful because these are some really good players here.
Taylor, Gibbs, Aunonsa, Mahomes, DK Metcalf too.
Uh, what, what do we do here?
Who is the player that you are breaking the bank on to go steal in your guillotine league?
A lot of really good options here this week.
I, I, I mean, can I have both?
Can I have 2?
Can I have 3?
I mean, Jonathan Taylor, please take my money.
Like this is, that was a matchup versus Pittsburgh.
The defense was tough, like, they just got there, they just got beat down.
Like they just got beat down by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I, I, I was so prepared to say.
Gibbs, go break the bank for Gibbs.
I, I, I'll say this.
Put in, put in two claims like try to get Taylor, whatever money you put on Taylor, put the same amount of money on Jamir Gibbs or vice versa to your preference.
For me, I'll go JT, but JT or Gibbs, I, I would break the bank, absolutely.
I'll go JT as well here because people don't realize this about the Colts, like they, they throw to set up running the clock out.
They're not one of these like ground and pound teams.
They know they have dynamic weapons in the passing game.
So when the passing game got thrown off in Pittsburgh last week amid some schematic changes, Jalen Ramsey at safety, playing more too high, it's not the game plan they expected.
They got got by the Steelers changing things up for once.
That's not gonna happen on a week to week basis.
There's gonna be Way better game scripts for JT where they're running that lead out there.
I will say, totally don't mind throwing a sprinkle at Roma Doona either though.
I know he let you down with the 0 last week, but not the same level of bid of freaking Jonathan Taylor and Jamir Gibbs.
But I mean, get your, get yourself some Roma Doona.
I think Ray and I are on the same page here that he will have some bounce back weeks going forward.
All right, reminder folks, you can always fire up a brand new league with Yahoo Fantasy G8 leagues presented by Liquid Death.
