Semi finals: Match-ups

Finals time for the top-4 teams who fight for entry to the Championship game, and bragging rights for the next four who will jostle for final positions.

1 v 4 - Breesus (135) v Doof (119)

Both teams are relatively unchanged from last weeks game, Breesus swapping the defence and Doof swapping Marshall who is out for the year with injury. In fact, there is little change from the teams that faced off only two weeks ago, with the Colts defence moving from Breesus to Doof and the change at WR spot.

With both teams sporting players that have been performing consistently well it is hard to identify a key match-up. Similarly, both teams have diversified away from starting too many players from the one team. From what I can tell Breeses and Doof were also the only teams this year to try a double-TE combination and each team only tried it once. Despite the discussion of the Year of the TE it really did not turn out like that.

With flagship QB Drew Brees not scheduled to play until the Monday Night Football game we won't know the winner of this match-up until Tuesday afternoon.

2 v 3 - Zim (129) v Agent P (131)

Projected neck and neck, this one also won't be finalised until Tuesday afternoon with RB Ingram playing in the MNF game for Zim. Agent P has had a difficult second half of the season with a 4-game losing streak and then 2-wins to finish the season and claim 3rd place. This stems from her star players that couldn't keep it together down the stretch: Rivers, McCoy, Thomas and Jones. At times all have had flashes of brilliance, at times they have all struggled.

Although Zim has had some similar issues, when Lynch struggled he posted 10 points, compared to McCoy's 3. And players like Gronkowski and Nelson haven't seems to struggle at all. Zim has averaged over 100 for the last 7-8 games.

Speaking of Gronkowski, check out ESPN's profile on him. And make sure to look at the photo gallery, it combines three of my favourite things: Gronkowski, Zoolander and kittens. Admit it, the photos are very Zoolander-y.

5 v 8 - Endless (112) v US Forces (95)

Andrew Luck couldn't carry the entire burden for the General this year but he did enough last week. A slow start by Endless has kept her out of the finals, but with Dez Bryant, LeVeon Bell, Jamaal Charles and DeAndre Hopkins she has one of the most potent offences in this league.

6 v 7 - Lighties (99) v BB (108)

Like the General, the Illuminator's over-reliance on Peyton Manning was their weakness this year, time and again Manning would provide amazing numbers and players like Crabtree and Gore would let the side down. For shame 49ers! A similar fate for BB with high-flying players often playing bit parts: Mike Evans, LaFell, Crowell - all good in their own right but not always utilised by their teams.
