Week 4 - 5 Recap

Let’s see who is on top.

Standings

That’s right - the dudes are making a run for it! I can speak for The Bizness and myself that top 6 at this point in the season is a WIN. I’m fully expecting Megan to do her thing and fight her way back into a first round BYE. Again.

Team of the Week

Every Day I’m Russel’n. You see that 1 in the W column? That was a legit victory over Older Butt Wiser in Week 4. It was the perfect combination of Tom Brady showing his age, Alvin Kamara tanking against the Giants, and a straight-up blah performance from the rest of the his team? On the other hand, Tuesday’s WRs and RBs balled out (almost beating Jon on their own). Saquon pulled out a last-minute TD and put Tuesday over the top.

The following week, he proceeded to get hurt again. He handsome tho.

Player of the Week

Deebo Samuel, owned by The Bizness. When JB beat Megan, Deebo led the way. One of Diana’s favorite books is all about belly-buttons (Beebos) and every time Megan checked the score in against JB in Week 4 it was a lot of “Damn it Deebo” - and Diana just kept poking her tummy.

Matchup of the Week

There were lots of good matchups - but my favorite was Schitt List vs Toomey Smalls. Mainly because it turned into a bit of a slap fight. Neither team had a great performance from their QB, instead relying on their RBs to carry the load. Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson was an underwhelming dead heat. But in the end, DJ Moore carried Samantha to victory, which is a little bit like tripping over the finish line, but a win is a win.

Bench En Fuego

We finally have a 🔥 on the bench! In Week 5, JB had both Robert Woods and Kareem Hunt chilling on the bench against Ryan. If he had played both, it would have given Biz a 7 point victory and put him in second place. I can’t really fault JB for his choices though - Calvin Ridley vs the Jets and Chris Godwin are usually locks. Especially when Ryan’s best player is Cordarelle Patterson and the Bills Defense. Unfortunately JB was foiled by the Falcons playing in London and Ridley not being on the plane. I think it had something to do with the metric system.
