I thought this was a bad week since half the teams scored 105 or fewer points, but as it turns out, that has happened every week this year. The only people to hit that mark every week are last year’s two best teams – the ‘Yler’ cousins, ‘Sk’ and ‘T’. All the rest of you jabroni’s have gotten 106+ at least once this year. But ask yourself this, what’s more likely – these two stay at the bottom all season, or the two teams who have combined for more championship appearances than any other two teams combined figure out a way to not suck? I’m pretty sure they are now jinxed.
Game Recaps
Skyler vs Brady: Brady started out hot, Skyler made a minor comeback, but we all knew it was short-lived given the players Brady had remaining. Skyler had zero people score 20+ points. Brady had only one person – but it was the King himself (who Brady just traded away). This game should have been the battle of ineptitude, yet somehow, some freezing cold teams did worse. Are they freezing cold because they suck, or because they were playing for the ice trophy? That’s called foreshadowing. Tua got injured but was able to come back in. I'm sure this breaks the curse of Skyler's quarterbacks getting hurt with a low-point total and missing the rest of the game.
Tommy vs Chad: In the king of the court battle, Chad came for the king, and missed. There was a lot of back and forth this game, but Tommy retained the belt in the end. He retained that belt thanks to four 20+ point players – Carr, Robinson, Patterson, and the Eagles DST. Chad was the only person to get 30+ points from a player (Hurts) this game (and also got a 20+ Cooper), but it wasn’t enough to stop the undefeated Pit Stains Who Gives a Pit.
Matt vs Trevor: Matt has come back down to earth a little bit (at least from a scoring perspective), but it didn’t matter much since Trevor was part of the half that scored 105 or less this week. Strangely enough, no one in this game scored 20+. Let’s hope this is a trend for the BHers and not just a speed bump on the road on their way to total domination
Rob vs Brandon: In this potential ineptitude battle between tankers, Brandon put up the high score of the week, and this was the blowout of the weak week. Rob didn’t have a player score over 15, while Brandon had two players go for 20+ (CD Lamb), and one of those two (Josh Allen) scored 30+. The blowout was so large that Brandon could have sat both his top players and still won by 9.
TJ vs Kyle: Monday Night Miracle, thy master is Travis James. Mr. Goodtimes shook his Monday Nightmare history and got a big win. The combo of Joey B and Hollywood each scored 25+ points for TJ. Kyle got a tad unlucky in that he got 47+ points from Lamar, but still lost by 14. Kyle was undone by four players scoring single-digit points, while TJ only had two such players.
Jordan vs Tyler: Who cares who won this game, because these snowflakes who wanted to be included in the write-up more thoroughly last time. As such, they fully deserved their battle of ineptitude. This was also the nail-biter of the week. Tyler lost by 7, and had a defense that scored -4. So we all scored more fantasy points than the Joey Bosa/Kyle Van Noy defense. Also, Tyler could have started 26 of the 32 DST’s in the league, and he would have won his game. 3 of the 6 that would have led to a loss, would have led to a loss by .04 (aka 1 yard passing), so it was probably a good thing he didn’t start one of them. Only one DST scored negative this week, and Tyler managed to find them. Tyler had Mark Andrews who scored 28+ points, which was the highest of the match. Unfortunately for Tyler, Jordan had Saquon on Monday, and he put the game out of reach with a 36 yard TD run as part of a 22+ point effort on Monday night.
Award Season:
MVP: Saquon for the last-minute win wins this award. The Denver DST comes in a narrow second place.
LVP: Chargers DST -- basically see Jordan vs Tyler
Unluckiest Team of the Week: Kyle would have beat 8 other teams, but went up against the #2 team of the week in TJ
Luckiest Team of the Week: Jordan for how he won, and also because he would have lost to 8 other teams this week.
High Scorer of the Week: Brandon puts up a healthy 146.90 and gets the highest score of the week.
Low Scorer of the Week: Skyler wins what should have been a three-peat of this award, but he's the back to back winner of this award.
King of the Court: Tommy gets another win and keeps the good times rolling
I apologize for the lack of preview. I had most of the above done by Thursday, and then life got in the way. Now that it's Sunday night, most of the week 4 games are decided and it makes no sense.
