So week 10 started off super slow, and then it kinda stayed that way. Val had a pretty good week, but almost everyone else was average to below average. Shout out to the top 3 teams all losing in their matchups this week, meaning that all the teams near the bottom of the standings move a step down.
This week will be another short week for the write up as honestly most of the games I saw were just terribly boring. Seahawks/Cardinals no one really cares about, Colts/Steelers was dumb and Smith Schuster is the bane of my fantasy team, Packers/Bears was two teams that can't play well learning hatred for the refs and themselves one play at a time (although the challenge the Bears did that lost them possession was hilarious), Cowboys/Falcons proved to everyone that Dallas still isn't actually good, Patriots/Broncos was a snooze fest that should have ended once Brady left (seriously screw you Cooks), and I didn't even watch the Monday night fish fest. Any week the Raiders don't play is a dumb week.
There isn't going to be any fancy sections tonight, but I will say this: the rest of your season is now all against your divisional opponents so be prepared, these weeks can make or break your playoff run, especially with the wildcard chase so tight. Only one team can lose out, and that also means only one tea, can win out. Good luck to everyone in the other two divisions, no comment on those players in mine.
GAME RECAPS
Jared Grube versus Chris Cone
Jared: a brutal bye week for you was met with the most likely of outcomes, a loss to Chris. Wentz, Cooper, Hunt, Hill and Philly D were all out and a result you had a losing week. Not particularly a shocking development. What might hurt more is the Elliott suspension actually taking place and Morris doing next to nothing and playing less snaps than Rod Smith. Could be worse, you could have McFadden who logged all of 1 snap. I won't go into huge detail because again you lost by 5 in a week where your whole team was essentially on bye.
Chris: Brady, Fitzgerald, Thielen, and Hooper. That is why you won. The rest of your team did not do anything worthwhile. Jacksonville RBs were killed this week and did absolutely nothing whatsoever, Denver D is not looking good and surprisingly Ginn doesn't do well when Brees barely throws the ball. You got a win over the first place team (something only me and you have done Chris!) though and that will help you stay right in the playoff race. So overall a pretty positive week for you.
Cone wins 112-107
Alex Gomez versus Yuriy Yedinak
Alex: where did this Ingram come from? Dude could not be tackled even though he has three defenders hanging onto him the whole time. 3 damn TDs! Smith Schuster is being a jerk and just taking all the passes in that dumb Pittsburg offense, and mysteriously Abdullah managed to score again, so he's been alright. Your team actually looks alive and DJ just got his cast off, hell if I know how it works but you better hope the Saints keep scoring 6 rushing TDs each week.
Yuriy: Austin Ekeler is stealing all the Gordon touches and Freeman got injured before getting any points. Luckily you have the backups, but does Ekeler crack your lineup? Marqise Lee and Drake are looking like great pickups, and Hopkins keeps doing his thing so you're only slightly becoming in trouble in your division. You've got a 1 game lead over Jake and a 2 game lead over Cone, with only 3 games left you're in a good spot but at the same time, there's enough games left to cause some problems.
Alex wins 144-97
Daniel Smith versus Matt Burke
Daniel: we talked about this man, you had to win out! I'm only gonna say one thing to you regarding your players and it's something that I'm sure you've felt since about 1:30pm on Sunday, you should not have played Buffalo. -8! That's one of the worst things I've ever seen in fantasy. If you had left the spot blank or played Minnesota you would have definitely won the game. So, think about that, and I'm sorry. Hope most teams stay below 5 wins.
Matt: are you like the QB whisperer? First Watson now Goff. You had some holes in your lineup, and Miller losing so many carries to Freeman must be something somewhat painful, but somehow you end up having a solid week strictly on the back of yourQB while the rest of your team puts up decent if not boring scores. Take boring though, it's winning you games.
Matt wins 120-115
Oscar Meyer versus Andrew Gomez
Oscar: Peterson literally has 21 attempts and only put up 2 points. I've heard that's the worst usage to points ratio ever but I have nothing to confirm that. If it's any consolation though, they say he does better after having more rest and Thursday to Sunday is a lot of extra rest and the Cardinals look like they're happy feeding him carries no matter what is happening. Really your team didn't look too bad on a week where not much scoring was happening, but I know it feels bad to get best by exactly the amount the QB you once owned out up. Also Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, and Marshawn Lynch are your RBs if this had been even 3 years ago that would have been the most insane line up ever.
Andrew: you know, I'm bad with QBs and of course when I drop Cam Newton he puts up 43 stupid points and Taylor puts up 2. Enjoy it while you're y can, Cam is a weird guy and this season he's been playing more erratic than a QB that is in a commercial promoting children's health right after he makes sexist comments in a press conference. Or in other words he's playing as erratic as he is playing. Playing both Cleveland RBs somehow worked for you, despite that sounding like the absolute worst idea anyone has ever had, and Diggs looked good. Definitely a nice week for your squad that helps you greatly, but for you to pass me up you need me to lose out. I don't plan on it so you better beat Matt.
Andrew wins 145-102
Orest Yaslinskiy versus Valeriy Shishkin
Ory: you got punked by Val, and at this point I have to be honest and tell you that Martin and Howard each putting up 5 killed you. It's a shame too because when Cunningham was down at the 1 there was a huge chance that Howard would have scored a TD but instead of all that noise, Fox challenged and ended up losing his own possession and looking like an idiot on an incredibly weird play. Goodwin scoring 16 points on 1 catch is ludcirous and Tate has been hot fire. Try not to lose many more though because the guys are gaining on you.
Val: Murray, Woods, Shepard and Sanders were all basically the top plays of the week, Jones is out for a nut so that might have hurt. What I'd really like to say is that I know you were feeling incredibly confident after that game about your team, but know this to get up to your average yearly win total you have to win out so don't screw this up. Or do actually, I really hope you do.
Val wins 159-115
Jake Yorke versus Nic Meyer
Jake: Graham send the tone and Cooks made it all some dumbass bullshit. HOW CAN THEY TAKE OUT EVERY STARTER EXCEPT HIM? Look I don't mind losing unless it's Brian Hoyer throwing stupid passes in a game for the Pats when they're up over 20 with 3 minutes left. Ugh. Good for you man.
Nic: I dropped Cam Newton and this is exactly how QBs work for me. That's why I don't like them. 🎱
Jake wins 109-105
