Week 13 of the 2022 NFL season was a thrilling one for fans of fantasy football, with many surprise performances and key injuries affecting the landscape of the league.

One of the biggest stories of the week was the breakout game by Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back James Thompson. Thompson, who had been a relative unknown before this week, exploded for 181 rushing yards and three touchdowns on just 19 carries, leading the Chiefs to a huge victory over the division rival Denver Broncos. Thompson's performance earned him the title of top scorer in many fantasy leagues this week, and he is quickly becoming a must-add for any team looking for a running back.

Another standout performer from week 13 was veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals. Fitzgerald, who is known for his strong hands and consistent production, caught eight passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns in the Cardinals' win over the Seattle Seahawks. Fitzgerald's big game was particularly impressive given the fact that he was going up against one of the best secondaries in the league, and he is sure to be a hot waiver wire pickup heading into the final weeks of the season.

Unfortunately, not all of the news from week 13 was positive for fantasy owners. Los Angeles Rams star running back Todd Gurley left the team's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a knee injury, and his status for the rest of the season is uncertain. Gurley owners will need to monitor his situation closely and consider adding a backup running back if necessary.

Overall, week 13 of the NFL season was a rollercoaster ride for fantasy football fans, with many unexpected performances and key injuries shaking things up. As the season heads into its final weeks, it will be important for fantasy owners to stay on top of the latest news and make the right moves to ensure a successful finish to their season.

WTF?! of the Week

No, you are not high. No, you have not traveled back in time. That post above was generated using AI and despite its beautiful prose, it was not able to write a proper Week 13 recap for THIS year due to the machine learning algorithm only going up 2021. I seriously thought I was going to be able to automate this weekly post that probably no one in the league reads, but I guess the robots are not quite there yet. Oh, but they are coming.

Playoff Tips of the Week

If you're a fantasy football manager heading into the playoffs, congratulations! You've made it through the regular season and now have a chance to compete for the championship. But before you get too excited, it's important to make sure you're approaching the playoffs with the right mindset and strategy.

First and foremost, it's important to remember that the playoffs are not the time to take unnecessary risks. If you have a strong team that has been performing well all season, don't be tempted to make a big trade or change your lineup just because you're feeling nervous or want to try something different. Stick with what has worked for you so far, and trust your instincts.

At the same time, it's also important to be mindful of any potential pitfalls or weaknesses in your team. If you have a player who has been dealing with an injury or has a tough matchup in the playoffs, it might be worth considering a replacement or alternative option. Don't be afraid to make a tough decision if you think it will give you a better chance to win.

Another key factor to consider in the playoffs is the importance of playing your best players. This might seem obvious, but it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of the playoffs and start playing matchups or trying to outsmart your opponent. But in reality, the playoffs are not the time to be cute – they're the time to play your best players and let them do their thing. If you have a star player who has been consistently putting up big numbers all season, don't be afraid to roll the dice and play them even if the matchup looks tough on paper.

Finally, it's important to approach the playoffs with a positive attitude and confidence in your abilities as a manager. The playoffs can be a stressful and nerve-wracking time, but if you believe in yourself and your team, you'll be in a much better position to succeed. Remember, you've made it this far for a reason – you're a good manager, and you have a strong team. So trust your instincts, play smart, and most importantly, have fun!

WTF?! of the Week Pt. 2

Yup, you guessed it. The above was also written by AI. Now this was a good WTF.

LFG of the Week

LAST WEEK IS HERE!!!! 3 Teams are battling it out for the last 2 positions. Brad, Jose, and Frank Jr share the same record and if they ALL win out Brad would be the odd man out due to PF. BUT, that is only if they all win out. Unfortunately Jose is playing against the NCAL powerhouse that is Frank. Frank would love to cap off the season with a win to potentially get the #1 seed in the case that Bert loses. To make things worse for Jose, Frank Jr and Brad are both playing the two trashiest teams. It is just too hot to handle, the excitement of last week of regular season is here boys. LFG!
