Week 9 Recap

This would be funnier if Burrow had thrown just ONE of his 5TD to Ja’Marr Chase.

Standings

Week 9 means we should probably start talking about playoffs. As of right now, everyone still has a chance of making it. With 5 weeks to go, the teams in the 6-10 spots are all still in the hunt. Nobody has clinched yet.

The bottom two teams are in the magical 1% - but it is also worth noting that both Julian and Morgan have been absolutely screwed by ESPN this year. When you compare their projected points to actual performances:

Morgan’s deficit is currently #3 on the all-time list (behind Megan in 2019 and Julian in 2021). Hang in there!

Player of the Week

It’s Saquon. 31.9 points and this.

CMC gets an honorable mention for his performance in the Wizard of Oz.

Team of the Week

ToomeySmalls was far and away the best team this week. 131.2 points is more than Ryan and I scored - COMBINED.

That’s a 3 game streak and one game out of the playoffs (where Ryan and Jon are both on multiple-game losing streaks). BUCKLE UP.

Matchup of the Week

Ryan and I had the closest game this week.

This was the fantasy equivalent of a Thursday night game. A couple bright spots here and there but a generally terrible game.

Capping it all off was an overtime heart-breaker where the Chiefs marched down the field, handed the ball to Kareem Hunt for a 2 yd TD, leaving Ryan 12 yards short of a win.

Ryan has officially morphed into his annual Active Dumpster Fire form.

I guess that’s what we get for starting players on the Colts.

Schedule Notes

Germany scrimmage this week! Giants vs Panthers. If you have any of these players - don’t start them, this game will be terrible. Hopefully this game is only on NFL Network will have to be subjected to this snooze fest.
