Week 7 Recap

Alrighty then… Week 7 is in the books and we are finally starting to see some separation in the standings. We are also officially halfway through the regular season! Let’s take a look at where each team stands:

House Hilton (Matthew): First off, I can confirm that Matthew is alive and well, after a sighting this weekend. This is great news. Less great news for the rest of the league is that it doesn’t look like anything will slow his team down soon. He has a RB get 0pts and still manages a win. At some point, Cam Newton is going to get his head ripped off and miss some time, but until then… it's Matthew’s league to lose.

Ochocinco Reborn (Doug): My starting lineup (a win and 129pts) this week consisted of TWO players I drafted (Jacksonville and Mahomes). Otherwise, this is just pure genius team management. What can I say… I’ve got a 100 total season points less than Matthew and Bowlsby and I still manage to get Ws. That has nothing to do with luck or who I’m playing. Right? RIGHT?

Rolls Royce Freeman (Bowlsby): Bowlsby’s rise to the top finally took a hit and I’m all for that. I want me some more Bowlsby-provided-liters! Other than rooting against him, Bowlsby really provides nothing of interest to write about so I’m just going to stop there.

Flip Flopkins (Kelly): This is the week. Kelly beats me, Matthew gets taken down in an upset, and the inevitable climb to the top is complete for Kelly. I accidentally gave him the best WR duo in the league (whoops) and when GRONK figures out how to play football again, his team will be stacked.

I Touchdown There (Nick): I honestly think, that in the 10+ years we’ve done this, that no team has ever gotten so many Defensive fantasy points. Nick, going up against Alex, was bound to win either way… but wow. If Denver manages a 30+pt performance every week, Nick might be able to squeeze into the championship game again.

SuckMyHawk (Kyle): Somehow, my Defense got 2 pts this week but still outscored Kyle’s DEF by 5pts. I keep thinking Kyle was going to make a second half push to the top 4. And it’s still possible. But he’s going to have to get more than 90pts a game.

Hold Ma Dick (Brian): Ohhhh man. Every week is starting to look like must wins for Brian. At 2-5, it’s not unrealistic that the last playoff slot is within reach. A big win this week and Brian could be in 6^th. But a loss and… welp, Alex and Brian start playing for that $100 round of Prost liters.

The Injury Report (Alex): Is Alex even trying anymore? I think he is. His team is always projected around 100pts. But he averages 90pts a week. So you can’t say it’s his fault. It’s just… wow, this team is bad.

I’m taking next week off. Brian will be filling in. Gotta recharge the creative juices. We’re halfway there…
