And then there were four…
The iBC Fantasy Football League playoffs have unfolded rather predictably so far, with both of the favorites advancing in last weekend’s divisional round. Although #4 Goldie’s Gangztaz left it late against the 5th seed Jayhawks (who almost pulled off an unlikely Sunday night comeback thanks to DeSean Jackson).
So starting with tonight’s Colts – Jaguars matchup, we’re down to the Top 4, with #1 juggernaut Judge Smails facing off against the aforementioned #4 Gangztaz and #2 Dr. ‘Cane against the upstart #3 StarscreamPowerPlay.
The Judge, nigh unbeatable in the regular season, will continue to rely on his holy trinity of running backs: MJD, Ray Rice, and Jamaal Charles. That’s 2 of the top 3 scoring running backs from the regular season, while Charles has been anything but a slouch since taking over in KC. Goldie, on the other hand, will be relying on the dynamic duo of A.Johnson and Randy Moss, the #1 & #5 scoring wide receivers so far. However, Moss’s recent lackluster performances will be a cause for worry…
The 2nd matchup features arguably the league’s 2 most exciting players (to watch): StarscreamPowerPlay‘s Chris Johnson vs. Dr. Cane‘s Drew Brees – the leading rusher vs. the best quarterback and the top 2 overall point scorers in the league. With those cancelling each other out, the deciding points may come from some of the other stars in the lineup, such as Brandon Marshall for Dr. Cane (who just set the new NFL record for # of receptions in a game with 21) or Vernon Davis for StarscreamPowerPlay (the league’s highest scoring TE).

May the best team win!
(In more somber news, R.I.P. Chris Henry – 26, often troubled years.)
