Joe's Pats on Top in Week 4

Four weeks into the season and we have four different Weekly High Score Prize winners.  This is only the third time this has happened in league history, most recently in 2014.  (In 2014 we had unique winners through Week 5, which is the record.)   This week it was Joe’s Pats with a big Monday Night showing to take the Week’s High Score with 121!  Joe had big games from Jalen Hurts (30 pts), Terry McLaurin (24 pts) and the Monday Night Star, Austin Ekeler with 25 points.  The 121 point total ties Sofa King American for the 2nd highest point total this season, and with 398 total points, Joe’s Pats is the current point leader!  Well done Joe!

In other games, American BadAss thumped my hapless group of dumbasses so there are no more undefeated teams.  Three teams now sit with 3-1 records, four are at 2-2 and three are at 1-3.  Interestingly only 70 points separates the highest scoring team (Joe’s Pats) from the lowest (Big Sack No TD’s).  

Playoff predictions are coming next week, so just a quick update this week…

BIG TIME

• Tyreek Hill, WR – Sofa King American – 39 pts – Hill exploded in Week 1 for 28 points and just did it again with an unbelievable game with 186 yards receiving and 3 TD’s!  No other Chief had more than 25 yards receiving, as Hill just gobbled them all up.
• Patrick Mahomes, QB – Attack of Mahomes – 31 pts – Of course the QB tossing the ball to the high scoring receiver would also score highly!  Mahomes only had 6 incompletions on 30 attempts (1 interception), while racking up 278 yards and 5 TD’s.
• Deebo Samuel, WR – Attack of Mahomes – 30 pts – Another Week 1 standout pops up again in Week 4!  Samuel had 25 pts in Week 1, and now drops 156 yards and 2 TD’s this week.
• Jalen Hurts, QB – Joe’s Pats – 30 pts – Hurts is proving to be a consistent performer, having scored no less than 20 points any week this season and currently ranks as the 4th highest scoring QB.
• Cordarrelle Patterson, WR/RB – Big Sack No TD’s – 30 pts - Cord did his damage catching the ball, as he caught 5 balls for 84 yards and 3 TD’s to go along with 34 yards rushing.

COME ON MAN

• Myles Gaskin, RB – Christian McCaffrey’s Thigh – 0 pts – Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here… this guy had all of 2 attempts for 3 yards.
• CeeDee Lamb, WR – American BadAss – 1 pt – Just 2 catches for 13 yards as the Cowboys focused on a run-heavy approach.
• Los Angeles Rams, DEF – American BadAss – -1 pt – The Rams defense managed to record 3 sacks but gave up a whopping 37 points.  Oof.
• Brandon McManus, K – Young Guns – 1 pt – A singular extra point was the only contribution Mr. McManus was able to make.
• Mike Williams, WR – Vandelay Industries – 1 pt – After having a touchdown every week so far (even 2 last week), Williams only had 1 catch for 11 yards this time.

 S#!T IN ITS MANY FORMS

Did you know the type of animal shit denotes a specific meaning which everyone knows intuitively…

Bullshit = lies

Dogshit = poor quality

Batshit = illogical

Apeshit = frighteningly aggressive

Horseshit = unfair

Chickenshit = cowardly

Ratshit = used with a socket to loosen bolts

TOP 5’s VS DRAFT POSITION

Here is the first check-in this season on Top 5’s for each position along with their draft position.

Eight undrafted players are currently in the top 5 of their respective positions.  Wide receivers are crazy with 4 of the top five having been drafted in Round 5 or later and one being undrafted.  (Note – Patterson’s position is technically listed as WR/RB, but he’s grouped in with WR’s in my data.  Oddly enough, he’s the 4th ranked WR but would be the 3rd ranked RB.)

ALL UNWANTEDS

The Week 4 AUW’s come from the New York Giants (less Barkley & Golladay) and the Chicago Bears (less Montgomery and Robinson).

Tough showing not having a 2nd runningback who scored any points.  The league average score this week was 92.2, so this goes down as another loss, dropping their record to 1-3.

BEST BENCH

With four Weekly High Score winners on the season, it only makes sense we would have our fourth different Best Bench as well!  It was a two-man race for the honor this week, as Attack of Mahomes made a strong case with a 31-point improvement possibility.  But that wasn’t quite enough to overtake American BadAss for the Week 4 Best Bench!!  Jason needed just 3 roster moves to improve his point total by a solid 33 points:  Cleveland for LA Rams +14, D. Smith for C. Lamb +11, and J. Cook for K. Pitts +8.

Get those waiver claims in and get ready for Week 5!!
