Week 5 Review - Can I borrow a Touchdown?
Week 5 is in the books and with it a good chance that the play off spots have been wrapped up already. In a brutal campaign 4 teams are currently sitting 1-4 and all but eliminated. For any of these teams to win the 'ship now you have to suspect only an unbeaten run until Christmas would do. Raeanne currently occupies the bottom berth of the play off spots with a 2-3 record. Luckily for Raeanne this week the bottom 4 are each taking on one of the top 4 in 4 do or die match ups for the also ran teams.
This is apparently officially the biggest scoring week ever in fantasy with a record number of players going off for over 40 points, including Will Fuller on waivers. Which I think means I would have lost to free agency this week (wow, that's embarrassing).
In the Cadle Bowl Raeanne was the latest team to be eviscerated by Chris, a fate awaiting me this week. Raeanne seems determined to zig when she should be zagging with her quarterbacks and for the second week in a row made the wrong choice under center. Elsewhere Theilen got back to successful ways with a decent stat line however Will Fuller eliminated Hopkins as a valuable play this week. Melvin Gordon got eased back in this week in a game where the Chargers kind of stank all round. Chris meanwhile had solid production all over his team once again giving him a more than respectable scoreline that Raeanne had no chance of topping.
As predicted I never recovered from Strawbs early lead and for the second week in a row my Receivers let me down badly, this coupled with a poor game by Jackson and the Bears going down early in London meant I posted one of my lowest stat lines ever. Strawbs meanwhile could afford to take the goose from Dorsett and still have more than enough to cruise past me.
Next up Cregles took on Lewis in the fantasy football equivalent of taking a couple of cabbages to a gun fight. Lewis destroyed Craig by almost 100 points in what I think (without checking) must be the biggest blow out this league has seen yet. Cregles Luck is non existent and nearly as bad as mine (his sole win coming in a blow out game against me).
The tightest game of the week was Smithy versus Stew and the win went to Shaunny which is likely to make Stew move another step closer to rage quitting all of his leagues. Smithy can chalk this win up to Aaron Jones, without the big week from his RB Stew would have won comfortably. For Stew my only consolation I can offer is that he isn't the only one having a terrible time of it this year.
Down in the big smoke Wee Dave took the big load with a last minute spoiler. Going into Monday night football Ryan was edging Dave in a tight squeeze of an affair but a big game from Kittle (the only TE to do anything this week) saw Dave wrestle his way on top late on last night. Once again Ryan shot himself in the foot by relying on Sammy Watkins, despite doing nothing since week 1 when Tyreek was taking the double coverage Ryan has stuck by him through thin and thin and was rewarded this week by an injury on the first drive and a goose in the stats.
If anyone is paying attention I will do the week 6 preview this afternoon if I can bare to write about it (sob).
