Week 10 Recap
Ten weeks down, 4 to go. After this week of competition, everyone will have played everyone else once. The teams still in the playoff hunt will hopefully start to clinch their spots this week (because otherwise the tiebreakers get gnarly).
No team is officially OUT of the running yet, but there are still five spots up for grabs. After Samantha, the standings get pretty bunched up, with the top 9 teams all having double-digit chances to make it in. A last ditch hot (or cold) streak could make all the difference:
- Jon is currently on a 5 game losing streak. One more and there might not be enough points or tiebreakers to help.
- JB is currently the #3 team by points, but also the #1 team by points allowed, if that evens out, he might be able to make a run.
- OMG SHANNON keeps winning.
- Samantha is #1 in points but also has the least points scored against. Lethal.
Standings
Player of the Week
This was a tough one. There were a BUNCH of players that handled business.
1st place: Najee Harris. In the closest game of the week he got just enough yards (4 to be exact) to get the W (IRL and for JB)
2nd place: Ja’Marr Chase. 44 points. Preeeety good…except when you ALMOST LOSE.
3rd place: Bijan Robinson. 26.4 on 2TDs and a W. Morgan, you should buy his jersey at this point.
Honorable Mention: Lamar. Again. This is just boring now.
Team of the Week
This one has to go to THE Team Buckeyes. After 6 straight Ls and another 2 game losing streak - Morgan showed Julian what’s up. They might still both be on track for top 5 worst seasons (vs projection)…but when head-to-head, Morgan got the W.
Matchup of the Week
We had two interesting matchups this week.
Runner up - Ship Show vs DO YOU HAVE ANY TDS!?!? This one did NOT start out close. Burrow > Ja’Marr was worth 82 points in total (but only +6 for me). Meanwhile, my QB decided to forget how to throw and Blythe just kept chipping away. If she had swapped Ladd McConkey for KillaTrav - this game would have gone the other way.
Winner: JBeeZyn vs ShowMeYourTDs. This was a dead heat from the beginning. Somehow both teams got 2x out of the FLEX and their QBs were…meh. JB did forget to roster a kicker, so it was close going into MNF. The Steelers bled the clock at the end and Najee got just enough to get JB the W. 5 yards is about as close as it gets without losing on a kneel down.
Manager Stats
Shannon had almost as many points on her bench as she did in real life and STILL got the W. Erik, on the other hand, also had a lot of points on his bench and got beat.
By Shannon.
