Week 6 Recap:

Mustafa (5-1) 115.7 vs. Chase (4-2) 134.9

“Down goes Frazier!”  “Do you believe in Miracles!” “Pigs can fly, hell has frozen over, the Saints are going to the Super Bowl!”  Chase’s team rises to the occasion and takes down the last undefeated team in Mustafa.  Moose had his normal solid efforts out of Josh Allen (29.2) and Saquon Barkley (17), he also got 23.1 from Rhamondre Stevenson.  Cooper Kupp had a quiet game for Cooper Kupp with 13.2 fantasy points only 7 catches for 80 yards.  AJ Brown got 15.2 including a touchdown.  And even Moose’s kicker showed out with Succop getting 14 going 4/4 for field goals for the Bucs.  Moose’s downfall came at Tight End with Dallas Geodert getting 3.2, Flex in Melvin Gordon getting 0.8, and Jax D/ST getting 0.  Those three players combing for 4 points was Moose’s downfall.  On Chase’s side he had a near complete effort from his team with the exception of JK Dobbins who was sat after experiencing knee tightness.  He finished with 1.5 points.  Everybody else scored in double digits.  Michael Pittman led the team with 22.9 fantasy points on a monster receiving day of 13 receptions and 134 yards.  Kelce was Kelce with 8 catches for 108 yards (18.2 points).  Looking at the Tight End, Flex and Defense positions Chase outscored Moose 41.4 to 4.  Chase won by 19.2.

Tommy (5-1) 133.5 vs. Brad (4-2) 83.2

Tommy celebrated his birthday and then celebrated kicking Brad’s ass.  Brad had his worst week of the season by far (previous low was 117.1).  6 Players scored in single digits and nobody eclipsed 20 fantasy points.  On Tommy’s side he was led by Joe Burrow who threw for exactly 300 yards and 4 touchdowns against our Saints for 35.5 fantasy points.  Tyreek Hill had 12 receptions and 177 yards receiving.  And for some reason Tommy started Brandon Auyik in the flex despite Auyik averaging a paltry 7.8 fantasy points per game heading into this week.  So naturally the piece of shit catches 8 balls on 11 targets for 83 yards and two touchdowns against me.  What a dick.  Good game Tommy.

Scotty (2-4) 67.0 vs. Jen (2-4) 92.7    

A low scoring affair as Jen takes out Scotty.  Scotty just couldn’t get it going with bye weeks, injuries, and schedule all cultivating into his worst game of the year.  Tom Brady only got 13.6, Joe Mixon only got 14.8, and 5 out of 9 scored in single digits.  Scotty also lost Marquise Brown to a foot injury that might keep him out for quite some time.  Jen only got 4.5 from Zach Wilson this week, but her rookie running backs showed up in a big way.  Breece Hall got 22.1 and Kenneth Walker II got 18.  Brad called for optimism last week for Jen’s squad and her Rookie Duo showed us why this week.  Jen will also be hoping to get some pieces back in Week 7.

JD (4-2) 99.8 vs. Trey (1-5) 84.6

Trey was unable to win back to back games and drops to 1-5 on the season.  Trey smartly played Deon Jackson who got 23.1 fantasy points before exiting the Colts game with a quad injury.  Lamar Jackson got 16.1, Sanders got 13.7 and Allen Lazard got 15.6, but then Trey’s Wr2, TE, Flex, D/ST, and Kicker all combined for 16.1 total points.   JD was led by Mahomes 22.5 and Ekeler’s 19.3.  Nobody went nuts for JD, but he had a better week than Trey and got the W.

Joe (2-4) 104.8 vs. Katon (1-5) 105.8

Katon has done it!  His first win of the season!  He got 9 starters in there and and got the job done by 1 point!  Congratulations Katon!  Katon was led by Stefon Diggs 28.8 and he had a pair of Rb’s with solid production Kamara with 15.4 and Zeke with 15.1.  Joe on the other side had 56.8 out of his total 104.8 (54.2%) of his point come from Ja’Marr Chase and Mark Andrews.  Everybody else shit the bed.  Katon had Zeke, Joe had Pollard, Zeke outscored Pollard, Katon outscored Joe.

Mike (3-3) 83.5 vs. Kenny (3-3) 67.3  

Mike gets to 3-3 by scoring the 4^th least points this week, but playing the 2^nd lowest scoring team this week.  His top scorer was NE D/ST with 17, his second highest scorer was his kicker Myers with 13.  Katon’s top scorer was Kyler Murray with 17.8.  Like I said in the preview this matchup was gross and I was right. Disgusting.

Week 7 Preview:

BYE-MA-GEDDON

Teams on Bye This Week: Buffalo Bills, Philly Eagles, LA Rams, Minnesota Vikings.  Some serious firepower missing.  This is where depth and management comes in big time.  The midweeks with byes.

Katon (1-5) vs. Brad (4-2)

Brad has talked a lot of shit to Katon this season in the write ups and now Katon gets to attempt revenge.  Brad is coming off of his first loss since Week 1 and his worst game of the year.  Katon is coming off of his first win and 2^nd highest scoring week of the year.  Brad will be without his starting Qb, Wr2, D/ST and Kicker.  Katon will be without his starting WR #1 Stefon Diggs and WR #17 Devonta Smith.  Let’s focus on who they do have.  Katon has Derek Carr vs. Houston and Brad has Daniel Jones @ Jacksonville.  Brad picked up Jones last week thinking it would be a decent matchup.  That was before Matt Ryan went off to the tune of 389 yards and 3 passing touchdowns on the Jags in Week 6, making this move look better than it actually is.  Katon has Alvin Kamara against Arizona’s 10^th ranked OPRK.  David Montgomery who might be losing touches to Khalil Herbert as I expected.  Zeke Elliot has a butter matchup against Detroit.  Cooks and WR #15 Christian Kirk will hold down WR spot for Katon. On Brad’s side he has #13 Aaron Jones with a decent matchup against Washington, #1 Rb Nick Chubb vs. Baltimore, and #4 Rb Christian McCaffrey against Tampa Bay.  There are rumors that CMC might be traded, so we’ll have to monitor to see if that happens and if it does happen, does he go somewhere that helps or hurts his fantasy value.  We shall see.  Brad will have to monitor Jaylen Waddle this week as he injured his shoulder at the end of his matchup in Week 6.  Brad is favored, but don’t sleep on Katon.  Or with him because you’ll definitely wind up pregnant.

Jen (2-4) vs. Trey (1-5)

Jen loses her top wideout, #3 WR Justin Jefferson and Trey loses his RB2, #9 Miles Sanders to bye weeks. Trey has a strong chance to have #1 Overall Pick Johnathan Taylor back this week, while Jen will rely on her rookie Rb Duo to carry her team.  Trey has a clear advantage at Qb as Jen’s #20 Qb Aaron Rodgers hasn’t gotten above 16.8 points this season while Trey’s #2 Lamar Jackson has games of 42.3 and 50.5 logged this season.  He has scored under 20 in 3 consecutive weeks, but it’s steadily increasing with a smash spot potential this week against a Cleveland secondary that couldn’t stop anybody last week.  The rest of the matchup is complete and utter garbage.  A hodge podge of near fantasy irrelevant players that shouldn’t be started and yet here we are.  Jen with Terry McLaurin, Corey Davis, Hayden Hurst, and Tyler Allgeier.  Trey with Allen Lazard, Tyler Lockett, and is that Taysom Hill in your flex spot?  Jesus.  If Olave plays I like Jen’s chances a bit better, but this matchup looks to be low scoring.

Kenny (3-3) vs. Tommy (5-1)

Kenny loses #24 Rb Devin Singletary to bye and Tommy gets #8 Rb Derrick Henry back from bye.  Kenny will get D’Andre Swift back just in time and turn his Tight End position to #11 TE Robert Tonyan.  He also gets Davante Adams back from bye.  Tommy will have Joe Burrow at home vs. Atlanta.  Atlanta shocked the world last week by shutting down the 49ers running offense and winning against a quality NFC opponent. Look for Burrow to expose the secondary much like Jimmy G did once they fully abandoned the run.  #5 Rb Leonard Fournette gets #26 OPRK Carolina.  Making this matchup seem that Kenny has a strong chance of dropping his 3^rd game in a row.  Kenny might be able to pull the upset; however, if #12 WR Mike Williams is able to get it going against a horrific Seattle defense.  Smash spot for Williams, can he lead Kenny to victory?

Mike (3-3) vs. Mustafa (5-1)

Moose was hit hard with byes this week.  He’ll be without Qb#1 Josh Allen, WR#1 Cooper Kupp, WR#10 AJ Brown, and TE #6 Dallas Goedert.  At the same time, Mike gets healthier with Dak Prescott looking to return from his Week 1 thumb injury, just in time to play the horrific Detroit Lions defense.  Mike will also feature #7 Rb Josh Jacobs against Houston’s 32^nd ranked OPRK, making him a chalk DFS play and a solid foundation for Mike’s chances to pull the upset.  #24 Wr Tee Higgins has a great matchup against Atlanta and Chris Godwin has a great chance to smash against Carolina.  One of the reasons Moose has the best team in the league this season is his depth.  His starting lineup this week will be competitive versus most of the league.  He has #11 Qb Trevor Lawrence against the Giants, #3 Rb Saquon Barkley vs. the Jaguars inconsistent defense, #11 Rb Rhamondre Stevenson vs. Chicago on MNF, Romeo Doubs @ Washington, Curtis Samuel vs. Green Bay, and let’s not forget #15 Rb Dameon Pierce vs. Las Vegas.  Mike has a chance due to matchups, but Moose isn’t just going to roll over and die this week.  Mike will have to earn it.

Chase (4-2) vs. JD (4-2)

Big Time Matchup Here.  Chase loses #10 Rb Dalvin Cook and Darrell Henderson to byes this week.  JD is at full strength.  Looking at Chase’s team it can be summarized as “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”  When it comes to Wide Receiver position it is the best of times.  He gets the Sun God Amon-Ra St. Brown back from injury and bye week and he gets DeAndre Hopkins back from his 6 game suspension, while also having young stud #16 Michael Pittman Jr going up against Tennessee.  At Running back it’s the worst of times.  He has JK Dobbins who tweaked his knee, AJ Dillon who hasn’t cracked double digit fantasy points since Week 1, and then he loaded up on potential Rb’s to see if one of them might work out this week in Latavius Murray (Denver), D’Onta Foreman (Carolina), and Kyren Williams (LAR-bye).  The Broncos have already come out saying Melvin Gordon will start, but Murray could eat more touches if they go hot hand approach.  Foreman is a speculative pickup in case CMC gets traded, Chase would gain a starting Rb.  And Kyren Williams is getting hyped as someone the Rams might lean on down the stretch, possibly supplanting Henderson who Chase also has.  Chase is hoping to get something at Rb and to ride his trio of wideouts and his #1 Tight End Travis Kelce to victory.  JD has #4 Qb Patrick Mahomes @ San Fransisco, #2 Rb Austin Ekeler vs. Seattle’s 28^th ranked OPRK.  Just a note here, Los Angeles has been cautious with Ekeler, wanting to make sure he stay healthy down the stretch.  He could smash this matchup, or he could have very limited touches if the Chargers don’t need him late in the game.  Raheem Mostert has taken over the Miami backfield and has a decent matchup against Pittsburgh who just gave up solid fantasy production to Leonard Fournette last week (19.1).  #18 Wr CeeDee Lamb gets Dak Prescott back and a juicy matchup against Detroit.  Diontae Johnson is @ Miami, and JD hopes to have Keenan Allen this week against Seattle.  Should be a great matchup and either team can win, but JD has clear advantage at Rb, while Chase has advantage at WR.

Scotty (2-4) vs. Joe (2-4)

What and the hell are yall doing?  Two worst losing streaks in the league matchup this week.  Joe has dropped 3 straight after being 2-1 and getting cocky.  Scotty has dropped two in a row after his 190 point explosion in Week 4.  In the two weeks since then he has scored 139.4 combined, averaging a pathetic 69.7 points per game.  Joe on the other hand has been more even scoring 110.3, 105.5, and 104.8 the last three weeks, but going up against teams that scored more points.  So Scotty is up and down, Joe is consistent, who wins?  Scotty has a Rb2 problem and a Wr1 problem.  He will have to start Jamaal Williams at Rb2 or go dumpster diving in Free Agent land.  Also he lost #8 WR Marquise Brown possibly for the season as he suffered a bad foot injury.  He gets #8 Qb Justin Herbert versus Seattle and TE #5 TJ Hockensen versus Dallas.  Of course Dallas did a great job stopping Dallas Goedert last week.  Joe will have Geno Smith in the LA Chargers game, CEH vs. San Fran, Eno Benjamin should get a second start, this time against the Saints on TNF.  Ja’Mar Chase gets Atlanta in a smash spot.  #2 Tight End Mark Andrews gets Cleveland.  I’m not sure if Scotty has given up on this season since it was autodrafted for him or if he is still willing to fight.  If he is willing to fight he might want to consider trading Deebo Samuel or Mike Evans for a Rb2 and Wr2 to better fill out his roster.  He could try to trade Brady or Herbert to a Qb-needy team.  But no 2-4 team is out of this thing yet.  There are a lot of ups and downs in fantasy football and the season is long.  Just last week Moose was unstoppable, unbeatable.  And yet he lost and has a chance to lose two in a row.  Mike’s team was destitute a couple weeks ago, but fortunes have smiled on him and he is back to 3-3 with a chance at 4-3 with a team looking better as it gets healthier.  Never give up, keep fighting, let’s go!

Thanks for reading and good luck!
