This season is officially going down as the craziest season of all time. There have been seasons where we only had six different teams take home a Weekly High Score Prize for the whole season, and now this season gives us six different winners in as many weeks! How's that for parity? The congrats this week go to American BadAss who more than doubled Young Guns en route to a 141-69 point victory! The 72-point margin of victory marks the 12th largest margin of victory in Sacred Sundays history. BadAss’ roster was pretty impeccable across the board with four players scoring over 20! (Dak Prescott 29, CeeDee Lamb 26, LA Rams 21 and Joe Mixon 20). 141 points is also the highest single week total we’ve seen this season, beating Vandelay Industries’ 139 points from Week 2. Well done bro!
In other games scores were high again this week, with four other teams scoring in triple digits, amounting to 977 total points scored (2nd highest scoring week this season). Attack of Mahomes was the one losing team to score over 100, after last week when 3 teams scoring over 100 lost. Historically scoring over 100 has led to victory 87% of the time, but this season is only at 81.5%. Brutal.
Check out some of these crazy stats from the NFL:
- The Kansas City Chiefs are not in a playoff spot, but the Cincinnati Bengals are.
- Stefon Diggs, who led the league in receptions and receiving yards last season, doesn’t currently rank in the top 25 of either category.
- Jalen Hurts has outscored Lamar Jackson in fantasy points (145 to 139).
- There have been 31 missed extra points so far this season, led by Tristan Vizcaino (LAC) who has missed a mind-boggling 5 of them.
- Sam Darnold has outscored Aaron Rodgers in fantasy points (113 to 109).
- Patrick Mahomes threw six interceptions last season. He’s already thrown eight this season.
Just a few quick items this week, including a crazy Best Bench…
BIG TIME FOOTBALL
- Derrick Henry, RB – Vandelay Industries – 33 pts – The human wrecking ball known as Derrick Henry continued his path of destruction, this week logging 143 yards and 3 TD’s! Henry leads all running backs in fantasy scoring this season, and it is not even close. He’s got 156 points on the season with the next closest, Austin Ekeler, having just 96. It’s like he’s playing a different game.
- Josh Allen, QB – Scottish Rebels – 31 pts – Another big game for Allen, 353 pass yards and 3 TDs, making it the third time this season to score over 30 points.
- Kirk Cousins, QB – Free Agent – 30 pts – Solid outing for Cousins, 373 yards and 3 TDs, which moves him into the 10th ranked quarterback in fantasy.
COME ON MAN!
- Mike Evans, WR – Scottish Rebels – 2 pts – Two catches for 27 yards is all Evans was able to muster this week.
- Buffalo, DEF – Young Guns – 2 pts – The only stat the Buffalo defense was able to hang on the Titans was a single interception, while giving up 34 points.
- Denver, DEF – Coors Light Drunk Guys – 2 pts – The Broncos also surrendered 34 points and the only stat they hung on the Raiders was two sacks. Weak.
- Terry McLaurin, WR – Joe’s Pats – 2 pts – Targeted 8 times and only caught half of them for just 28 yards.
ALL UNWANTEDS
The Unwanteds are proving to not be drafted for good reason this season. Normally in this process I’ll uncover one or two gems, but not this year. Look at this garbage lineup when using the Chicago Bears (excluding D. Montgomery and A. Robinson) and the New York Giants (excluding S. Barkley and K. Golladay):
I’ve honestly not heard of half of those players. Eli Penny? Cole Kmart? Who are these guys? With a league average score of 97 this week, this goes down as another loss for the AUW’s, moving their record to 1-5.
BEST BENCH
Keeping with craziness of this season, the Week 6 Best Bench is the sixth different team to take home the honor this season. Last season overall there were 8 teams to win a Best Bench, and we’ve already had 6 this season. Crazy! Also, owing to injuries, bye weeks, and just all around quality team management this week’s Best Bench was nearly a record setter (on the low side). The record for the lowest Best Bench of all time is 16 points, which was set by the Midnight Maulers back in Week 7 of 2011. This week’s Best Bench came within a breath of that record and actually tied the record for 2nd lowest Best Bench with just an 18 point-improvement-possibility! Needing just two roster moves to get there, the Week 6 Best Bench goes to – Joe’s Pats!! Joe needed to only swap D. Harris for A. Ekeler +12 and B. Cooks for T. McLaurin +6.
Get your waiver claims in and get ready for Week 7! Six teams are on byes, so double check your rosters!
