I saw "We" because of the meme, but we all know this is an individual effort -- so I'll blame this delay on my children.
Game Recaps
Skyler vs Kyle: This was the nail-biter of the night, the weekly nail-biter and it was also the Monday Night Miracle/Nightmare. Kyle started off strong with injury replacement D'Ernest Johnson and bye week replacement Joe Burrow (combined for 56 points). That gave Kyle a solid lead going into Sunday night, where it turned into Deebo Samuel vs the Colts DST -- fantasy purposes as well as actually happening on the field. There were a couple of interesting swing moments, where Deebo fumbled and the Colts recovered (4 point swing), or where the Colts would pick off a pass intended for Deebo. Kyle had a 20 point lead going into Monday Night, where he had Callaway and Skyler had Kamara. Callaway came back down to earth, and Kamara and his best game of the season. In the end, Skyler was able to turn a 20 point deficit into an 8 point victory thanks to a lot of dump-off passes.
Brandon vs Brady: Brandon got off to a quick head start thanks to TNF, but Brady ended up leading once Sunday came around, and held onto the victory through Monday. Scary Terry anchored the strong team performance scoring 25+ points, and bye week replacement Matt Ryan filled in admirably, being the only other player to score 20+ for Brady. AJ Brown tried to help Brandon to victory by scoring 27+ points, but when no one else on your team scores 19+, it makes things hard.
Chad vs Trevor: Chad beat the good doctor down by 45 points, and that was only the 3rd most lopsided win of the week, and only the 2nd most lopsided win over a doctor -- and that was with one of Chad's players scoring him a 0. Chad had 4 players score 20+ points, including one 30+ point player, and none of them were Derrick Henry. You know you had a good week when Derrick Henry is your 5th leading scorer. Trevor had Tannehill and Swift score 20+ but the rest of his team was mediocre at best. Even though this was one of the bigger blowouts, this ended up being the weekly bonanza.
Rob vs TJ: Rob scored right around 105 points, and had one player score 35+ and no one else scored over 18. TJ's high scorer was 23 points, and only had one other person score over 18 -- yet he somehow scored 126 as a team. Sometimes fantasy football is weird. The weirdness led to the weekly battle of ineptitude.
Matt vs Jordan: I'm sure there are ethical restrictions around Jordan giving out medication to anyone without a prescription, including himself, but after getting beat down by 70, he will want to take something strong to help the pain. Kyler scored 27 of Jordans' 100 points, while Matt got a combined 67 points from Stafford and Chase.
Tommy vs Tyler: This was the second biggest blowout of of the week. Tyler had a really good score of 150.26, and Tommy had a really bad score of 90.64. Tyler's great score was primarily thanks to the combined efforts of Rodgers, Kupp, and Gesicki who combined for 89.76, which was nearly enough to beat Tommy by themselves. Tommy had a good game from Pittman, but is continued to be let down by Mahomes. Mahomes scored single digit points, and this was his first regular season game without a passing TD since September of 2019
Award Season
MVP: Kamara had a season high game and took a 20 point defecit and turned it into an 8 point win.
LVP: I'm taking a cop out on this one, but week 7 is the LVP. This bye-pocalypse was a real kick to the junk for most teams.
Luckiest Team of the Week: TJ was the lowest scoring winner, and would have only beat 5 teams this week. That's not super lucky, but it was lucky enough this week.
Unluckiest Team of the Week: Kyle was the highest scoring loser, and he lost on Monday night behind a season high performance from his opponents first round pick -- who happens to play for his favorite real life team, who nearly lost. I'm sure it was an unfortunate cheering situation for Kyle.

Hahaha, not happening because the games already happened because I'm over a week late.
