Each week, Cooterdoodle will be breaking down all the pain and punishment that transpires in our very own BWW Punishment Eliminator League. 

18 entered, but 17 will leave with their tails between their legs as they are forced to face a season-ending punishment.

BWW Punishment Eliminator League

We’re moving on to Week 11. Regular leagues are planning for their trade deadlines. But not here. Best ball land is a world where trades don’t exist and your mistakes of the past haunt you weekly and your team carries on(or doesn’t). 

But the punishment gods have spoken once again! Today we’ll have a full recap of:

  • Where Did We Go Wrong?
  • Week 10 Results: Ouch
  • Week 10’s  Proof of Punishment (PP)
  • On to Week 11: That’s Not Going to Taste Good

If you’re new here, be sure to read a full breakdown of our 18-team best ball elimination league.

But the rules are fairly simple: SURVIVE or face the consequences (read: the Punishment Generator).

Where Did We Go Wrong?

Now that we have 10 weeks of data in the books, the sample sizes are sampling. We can no longer tell fantasy managers to “be patient” or that some NFL teams will take a few weeks to warm up. The heater’s either on, or it isn’t, for some players. 

And regardless of format, there are some players we had hoped would be… cooking more. 

With Best Ball formats, your past mistakes are highlighted on a multiplier. Because you can’t use waivers or in-season trades to dig yourself out of any lacking positional holes, your shortcomings are on display for the remainder of the season. 

The players that you drafted early and hoped would be your consistent, saving graces … well, some of them aren’t. And it’s hard to ignore. BUT punishments can bring the best out of you. We’re going to view this as a learning experience.

So here are a few areas that I think we(I) went wrong:

  • Putting too much stock into organizations that I didn’t trust in 2022. To think they’d turn things around was silly of me.
  • Trusting off-season performances in any capacity. The off-season is fun, but those performances should hold very little weight across other stats.
  • Rookie Fever: Trusting that rookies will ball out in an ELIMINATOR league was not smart. You have to survive 10 weeks or later for some of these breakouts. Whoops!
  • Assuming any running back would run it back. *cough* Tony Pollard *cough* Rhamondre Stevenson *cough*

But that’s enough misery. Lessons were learned. For now, let’s talk about Week 10.

Week 10 Results

The results from Week 10 are in and not only have the remaining teams been cut in half, but some of the top dogs are still alive. Sorry, top dawgs*.

Here’s how the league did this week, with some added context of risers and fallers:


Week 10 Results

We started with 18, but now we have been cut down to eight. Some of the writing may have been on the wall for a while now. You see, our next elimination has squeaked on by through a few weeks now and the generator has finally come to claim its victim.

That’s right, the generator cannot be escaped. Well, only one can escape. 

Eight are moving safely into Week 11. But someone is DONE. FIN. CUT OFF. And it’s time they pay…

Proof of Punishment (PP)

It’s finally time for what you’ve all been waiting for. The big PP reveal. 

The Punishment Generator results were rolled out before Week 10 and revealed that the loser would have to consume something that could be described as painful. Whether it be in taste or texture, the highest scorers would decide the loser’s culinary fate!

Well, they’ve decided. And now our COO and BOL (Big ole loserrrrr) Jordan will have to consume some Buffalo Wild Wings, with an extra kick.

That’s right. Jordan can’t enjoy regular, tasty wings this week. He’s got to eat chicken covered in some of BWW's spiciest sauces. 

So without further adieu, here’s Jordan’s Week 10 punishment!

I’m sad to see him go, but the league marches on!

Nitty Gritty Breakdown:

  • Teams remaining: 8
  • Teams eliminated: Marcas, Freedman, Jonathan, Ian, Waz, Kendall, Chris, Jake, Cooter & Jordan
  • Punishment on Deck: Darkness Retreat

With Jordan’s elimination, we’re on to a new beginning. And we’re unfortunately faced with another few days of sweating it out while we await the results from a new week of agony.

On to Week 11

As for the survivors: One more down. 8 eliminations to go.

How punishments are decided:

  • Generate a random punishment with our Punishment Generator
  • Announce the punishment to the league before kickoff
  • Boot the loser from the league once the games have concluded
  • Collect Proof of Punishment (PP)
  • Expose everything on FantasyLife.com

We won’t know who has to pay the price until the games conclude on Monday night. 

But we do know that someone is going to have to change their online identity for a substantial amount of time, because the Punishment Generator has spoken. Drumroll, please…

That’s right, the team with the lowest score from Week 11 will have to forgo cell phones, social media, and old-fashioned asking Google for help during dinner when someone mentions a movie and you can’t quite remember the actor’s name. There will be a Fantasy Life Darkness Retreat. The loser will have to go without the use of the internet for most of the day and report back with their revelations.

Stay tuned for an update next week after the loser submits their Proof of Punishment (PP), and we kick them from the league.

If this sounds like a fun league to you sickos, you don't have to feel left out. You can make your own punishment eliminator league!

Don't be shy, it's easy to create some fun (maybe not so fun for the loser) punishments. Whether it’s an end-of-season last-place punishment or a weekly side bet, we’ve got you covered. Just input your settings, generate, and let fate decide!
