There are two elite teams in the NFL (Buffalo and Kansas City), one really good team (the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles), and then everyone else. This state of parity continues to wreck survivor pools, as Week 7 saw more than 54% of remaining entries eliminated for the fourth time this season. Week 5 is the only instance this year where less than 39% of players were knocked out (22%).
How did we fare in Week 7? In one word: terribly. In two words: quite terribly. Like the great Kurt Vonnegut said, "so it goes."
Before we pull ourselves up by the bootstraps for Week 8, let's look at the slaughterhouse that was our Week 7:
