After 13 weeks of intense fantasy clashes, we have finally arrived to Rivalry Week, where friends will become foes and friendships will be tested. There is all to play for for a vast majority of fantasy teams this week, as the competition for the 1 seed is on fire and the bubble watch is at its highest.
