Wyld Ass Monkeys set fire to Week 13!

The points make a comeback!  For the first time since Week 8 there were multiple teams to score in the triple digits.  All four of the teams who did it (Big Sack No TD’s, Joe’s Pats, American BadAss and Wyld Ass Monkeys) all won their games, bucking the trend we’ve seen this year.  For the season the winning percentage for scoring over 100 points has improved to 81.3%, but it is still trying to catch up to the historical average of 86.7%.     The big congratulations this week go to Rob and the Wyld Ass Monkeys who soared to a dominating victory and captured a second Weekly High Score prize!  Rob had huge games from Tyreek Hill (30 pts) and Geno Smith (29 pts), plus had Jamar Chase score 20, and four other players score in the teens to finish with 132 points!  This score ties for the 3rd highest score of the season.  Also, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this before, but Rob got this score while also scoring 0 points on his bench.  Not just a zero point improvement, I mean ZERO points on his bench. Nice work sir!

In playoff standings, American BadAss and Joe’s Pats have both secured a playoff spot by winning in Week 13.  Also due to losing in Week 13, sprouts has been eliminated from playoff contention.  It leaves just two teams fighting for the final playoff spot:  Defending Champion Young Guns and Big Sack No TD’s.  And wouldn’t you know it, those two play each other in Week 14.  So the playoff scenarios for this week literally hinge on the winner of that game.  In the North Division, the Coors Light Drunk Guys can claim the top seed with a win.  Joe’s Pats can claim the 2nd seed with a victory over OH YEAH!.  In the South Division, Sofa King Great has the top seed wrapped up and American BadAss will be #2.  Even if American BadAss wins and Sofa King loses so they tie for overall record, the King holds a better divisional record.  

In player’s scores this week, it was wild as the top three scorers were wide receivers… Deebo Samuel (32), DK Metcalf (31) and Tyreek Hill (30).  Those three were followed by two quarterbacks, Jake Browning (29) and Geno Smith (29).  What kind of topsy turvy season has this become where receivers are leading in scoring, and the best quarterback performance comes from a guy only on 10% of Yahoo! rosters?!  Not only that, the highest scoring running back this week was Derrick Henry who ranked 11th overall with 23 points.  There were 5 wide receivers who outscored him this week.  Just crazy…

Just a short update this week, but as always we conclude with the week’s Best Bench.  From 2017 thru 2022, James only received one Best Bench.  One through 96 weeks of games.  An impressive feat which may never be matched.  But then there is the 2023 season, which coming into this week had already seen Sofa King Great with 2.5 Best Benches.  But since I’m talking about him, you can probably guess where this is going as the King claimed yet another Best Bench this week with a solid 33-point-improvement possibility!  Needed only three roster moves to get there… J. Mixon for B. Hall +19, D. Hopkins for A. Thielen +11 and K. Murray for J. Herbert +3.  Sofa King Great now leads the league with 3.5 Best Benches this year.

Only four weeks of games left!  Get those waivers in and get your rosters ready!
