Make it two for sprouts!

Two in a row!  Sprouts are on an absolute tear, having won their last two games by an average margin of 63 points, and scoring an incredible 279 points over the last two weeks which is 57 more points than the next closest team (American BadAss with 222) and nearly 100 points more than the league average (181.9 points).  Last week, sprouts had a huge game from Mike Evans (40 pts), plus over 20 points from: Chicago (24 pts), Cooper Kupp (22 pts) and Matt Ryan (22 pts). It all added up to 154 points, which ranks as the 2nd highest Weekly High Score of all time!  This week, Russ overcame zero points from his tight end (Greg Olsen) to still score 125 thanks to a huge game from Nick Chubb (38 pts), and double digit scores from 6 other positions.  Nice job, Russ!  Keep it going!

In league standings, Attack of Mahomes leads the way as the only undefeated team at 4-0.  Three teams have only one loss (American BadAss, sprouts and Bella Dancers).  Joe’s Pats is the lone winless team, sitting at 0-4.  Don’t worry Joe…I still hold the record for (twice!) starting off 0-6, so you’ve still got a ways to go.

Just a quick update this week… onward!!

BIG TIME
-Nick Chubb, RB – sprouts – 38 pts – Massive performance from Chubb, going off for 183 total yards and 3 TD’s!  He's scored in double digits the last three weeks and currently ranks as the 4th highest scoring running back.
-Chris Godwin, WR – Big Sack – 32 pts – Godwin benefitted big time from the game turning into a shootout.  He finished with 172 yards on 12 catches plus 2 TD’s.
-Jameis Winston, QB – Big Sack – 32 pts – Winston is improving each week, having scored 6, 12, 28 and now 32 points this week.  Perhaps Bruce Arians is the quarterback whisperer, like people say.

COME ON MAN
-Juju Smith-Schuster, WR – Young Guns – 1 pt – The Steelers rout the Bengals 27-3, yet somehow JSS caught 3 passes for only 15 yards. 
-Greg Olsen, TE – sprouts – 0 pts – After a 2 touchdown performance last week, Olsen was held to a pathetic 5 yards on 2 catches.
-Adam Thielen, WR – Joe’s Pats – 0 pts – Just 2 catches for 6 yards, in a very lackluster game against the Bears. 
-Delanie Walker, TE – Big Sack – 0 pts – One catch for 4 yards.  Not so much.
-Green Bay, DEF – Coors Light Drunk Guys – -1 pts – The Packer defense recorded no defensive stats and gave up 34 points to the Eagles.  Wow that’s bad.

PLAYOFFS?
It is never too early to start thinking about the playoffs, right?  Well get ready because next week will be my annual “5 Weeks In Playoff Predictions”.  Last year I was correct on 5 of 6…can I make it 6 for 6 this season?

BEST BENCH
Two best benches to award this week, and both go to “J” names so you are safe this time, Timmy!  Week 3 saw a couple big bench improvements, but none bigger than from my team, Longshanks.  With just three roster moves: P. Lindsay for P. Barber (+20), D. Moore for S. Diggs (+11) and W. Dissly for G. Kittle (+7), I could have improved by 38 points!  (38 is the highest best bench total for this season).
This week was interesting because we actually had the lowest point improvements overall, and the winner has the lowest improvement total for the season.  With a 30-point improvement possibility, the Week 4 Best Bench goes to… Young Guns!  John only needed three roster moves:  R. Woods for T. McLarin (+19), D. Williams for C. Hyde (+10), and M. Brown for J. Smith-Schuster (+1)

Sorry to cut it short this week...just haven’t had my normal time at work to get some writing in.  Don’t you hate it when your boss makes you do actual work?  What in the hell?! 
We’ll be back to a full length write-up next week.  Until then, get those waivers in and get ready for Week 5!!!
