Weeks 7 & 8

It definitely seems that the last two weeks of Fantasy have been pretty rough.

• Low scores (Kickers leading the way?)
• Quarterbacks tanking: Cousins is hurt, Mahomes scores 2, the rest of the pack (not named Lamar) is basically 16 points.
• SO MANY INJURIES

6 weeks to the playoffs - nobody is officially eliminated, but a few teams are distancing themselves. The defending Champ(s) are both doing well, closely followed by…Julian? Shannon is making a tiny run - which she’ll have to continue to improve on 37% (while being in 4th).

Standings

Player of the Week

There were two options here - but only one actually…scored points that count. Week 7, Lamar went for almost 400 yards, 4 touchdowns and dropped 41 points. That was the good news.

The bad news was that was almost 50% of Julian’s points.

Normally - you need a little more help to get a W. In this case, Julian didn’t really need it because of our Team of the Week.

Team of the Week

It’s been a low-scoring year. So far, we’ve had three teams make the top-10 lowest scoring games in League History.

Our team of the week gets a special shout out. Megan’s week 7 performance against Julian of (checks notes) 27.26 was the fourth worst performance ever.

But don’t feel bad - two of the three worse-er performances belong to…….JULIAN!

In case you were wondering - the other cellar dwellers so far have been Shannon in Week 4, Samantha in Week 2, and Tuesday in Week 4.

Matchup of the Week

We had two close matchups - but the best one was Week 8 between Bizness and EBDB. Biz was solid all Sunday, but Erik stretched out a pretty solid lead.

The game looked over and all Biz had was one RB on MNF. Through the half - sunk.

But then late in the Q3 - Jahmyr Gibbs popped off a 27yd TD and then got a bunch of garbage touches as the Lions tried to kill the clock.

Biz only needed 12 yards to tie, 13 to win.

He got 6.

En Fuego

Morgan took this one running away. 41 points on the roster, 46 on the bench. I don’t know what’s worse, the numbers or that she wouldn’t have even needed DHop’s 30.8 to actually win that game.

Maybe Morgan should ask her Michigan friends about how to boost her team’s chances of winning.

Manager Stats

Power Ranks

• Shannon and Julian. Nice work. Totally different paths…same outcome.
• Ryan, your team is officially annoying.
• Megan’s got some werk to do
• Samantha, Blythe, and Tuesday be chillin.
• JB’s power rating might be low, but he’s still 4th in stomp rate. If he makes the playoffs…watch out.
