Hi Ho! It was a crazy day of scoring for some of us and utter futility for others...ahem, David. David gets the infamous distinction of having the lowest weekly score in League history mustering a meager 46 points. That's really hard to do in PPR starting 9 players. Jordan clinches the Broads division early and easily. Dana wins again, but it matters little to or for her. She has to win out and hope David loses out, and Tracy loses two out of three. She's still 10th in points 83.14 behind Tracy to escape the bottom four who aren't top 2 in their division. I've almost clinched the Beards division after two seasons of suck. I can close it out with a win over Travis who got the better of me in Week 3. He's the only League mate I have a losing record against. Things are looking grim for Tracy with his fourth straight loss putting him 2 back of David and Gary. Tracy has the early win against David but not Gary. Gary's big divisional points lead almost makes him a lock for the Championship playoffs. There's still much to play for as we finish the non-divisional games and head into the final 3 weeks of the regular season. The jinx meter only shows 3-3 this week. My powers only worked against Gary, Paul (shame), and David (big jinx).
Kermit the Kommissioner (James) vs Abby (Ashlyn)
159.32 - 146.20
Aiyuk only had 2 catches but both went for TD's to push me to another win and my 4th high score of the season. Ashlyn's team performed well topping 146 points but it was another disappointing loss to push her back into a three-way tie for 2nd in the Broads division. I've been lucky to find some waiver-wire wide receivers to put up solid performances. DPJ and Aijuk came in clutch. I am hoping they don't rush Chase back too soon. I need him 100% for the playoff run. Bass went ballistic kicking 6 FGs for 23 points! It made up for the disappointing Eagles DST. 11 points are respectable, but I was hoping for more. Ashlyn found the secret to streaming a DST this year. Just grab whoever is facing the Texans. She learns quickly. She just needed a TD from Meyers and Njoku to pull off the win. It always sucks to lose to the high scorer when your team also goes off.
BoBo the Bear (Steve) vs Oscar the Grouch (Tracy)
155.70 - 109.78
I thought I was going to lose out on a high score after Deebo's big TD, but I had to put the jinx on that texting my brother that he was going to snipe me for high. He knew instantly that I had put the jinx on him. I couldn't jinx him out of a win, so a high score will do. Steve had the best DST and PK duo. The Cowboys crushed the Vikings for 23 points, and Maher was almost as good as Bass scoring 22 points. Christian Watson scores multiple TDs for the second week in a row. Rodgers found his new favorite toy. Tracy's stud RB duo of Barkley and Pierce fell flat. Moreau was a ghost until OT. In the end, the matchup wasn't even close.
Janice (Linda) vs Scooter (Gary)
152.60 - 140.86
High-scoring matchup results in Linda getting her 4th win. You never know what you are going to get from Linda's roster. It's feast or famine. This week, Burrow produced 4 TDs even with Joe Mixon going out early with a concussion and no Chase. The move from Buffalo to Detroit worked well for Cooper. He just sucks at opposing team stadiums. Neutral sites are still good for him. It was Jamall's 3 TDs that put her over the top, though. Jamaal is a TD machine. Gary takes a tough loss in a week Mahomes balls out and Palmer ascends after Mike Williams left hurt again. It was nice seeing Kittle romp into the endzone twice on MNF. It still wasn't enough. Man, the Vikings D really sucks.
Miss Piggy (Dana) vs Animal (Paul)
117.112 - 100.18
You knew Najee was going to have his best game of the season once Dana benched him. It's been that kind of a season. She picked up Perine which was a good move, but no one could have known Joe would get concussed and Perine would score 3 TDs. Fields is a little dinged up but doesn't sound too serious. His performance was disappointing versus an easy matchup against the Falcons. 24+ didn't hurt her, though, even if Jimmy G. blew up for 33 on her bench. There's a pattern emerging. When Rondale Moore left early with a groin injury, I thought Paul might be able to pull off a miracle, but he was just too far behind. Allen had his worst game of the year. Conner was meh. Sanders sucks. Not even Kelce's monster 3 TD game could get Paul a win. It takes more than an uber-stud TE. Dana needed more points to help her climb out of the Crapper hole. Seeing 108 points on her bench has to hurt, but not as much as I will be hurting if she ends up on the Crapper next draft.
Elmo (Jordan) vs Gonzo the Great (Justin)
114.58 - 95.68
This was a missed opportunity for Justin to keep pace with the Kommish. It's not often Jordan's team scores less than 120 points. It's only the second time. This time he sneaks a win. His team is just storing up their points for the playoffs where he will stomp whoever he faces. It didn't help this week that he had 3 of his studs on bye. Seeing Perine get all those TDs had to hurt. It was the difference between a win and a loss. That and starting Hurst the worst over Knox. Jordan can coast the next month until he sees who he faces in the semifinals.
Fozzy the Bear (David) vs Dr. Honeydew (Travis)
46.00 - 105.24
This was the poopiest of all poopsies. How ironic that David's lowest score ever in BBB history comes against the player who previously held the dubious honor. Jaylen gets hurt early. Toney does, too. They combined for 1.90 points. That was better than David's DST which posted -3. Jared Barf only mustered 6.5. Skank, skank, and more skank. It's not like Travis has to be feeling good about his team which also has been decimated by injuries this season. He did get Zeke back who instantly scores 2 short TDs, and Dak passed for 2 more. That was the highlight of this matchup. Sad. Travis gets to battle it out with Paul to see who gets relegated down to the Bros division.
