NFL Week 17 is here and with it comes the fantasy football championships. For some, this is a time of euphoria as dreams of hoisting that championship trophy dance through our heads like so many sugar plum fairies. For those less fortunate, it felt like the nutcrackers did their job. There is nothing worse than fighting through a 14-week regular season only to see those stud players who helped carry you to the playoffs come up short when it matters most.
In a season dominated by running backs, the first round of the playoffs was a miserable week. Saquon Barkley, currently on his way to breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record, delivered a paltry 65 yards in Week 15 and let everyone down. Derrick Henry, De’Von Achane and Chuba Hubbard all did the same. And what’s worse, as if to troll those who were bounced from the first round of their playoffs, they all posted dominant performances in Week 16, making their owners the belle of the ball in their consolation brackets.
