Welcome to the Year of the Sprouts! In another impressive showing, Russ’ sprouts finished as top dog for the 3rd time this season with a solid 124 point Week 6 performance! Russ seems to dominate on the even number weeks, as he has now snagged the Weekly High Score in Weeks 2, 4 & 6. (Looking ahead to Week 8, and he’ll be playing against American BadAss, so good luck with all that bro. Ha!) This week sprouts’ top performers were Josh Jacobs (26 pts), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (25 pts), Cameron Dicker (17 pts), Denver Def (17 pts) and Christian McCaffrey (16 pts). The 124 points posted was also the highest point total we’ve seen this season! On the week’s where Russ has been tops, he is averaging 121 points, and in the odd number weeks he’s averaging 85. So a bit of a roller-coaster ride going on. But nice work once again senor!
In other games around the league, the winless are no more as Unlucky Irish pummeled my hapless Rebels 86-63 to move to a 1-5 record. In the South Division, three teams are tied for best record at 4-2, Worst to 1st, Joe’s Pats and Big Sack No TD’s. In the North Division, American BadAss sports the league’s best record at 5-1 after a convincing 114-73 victory over J LUV U LONG TIME. Interestingly, sprouts leads everyone in scoring by a big margin (618 points scored versus 550 for next closest), but only has a 3-3 record.
Injuries are really starting to mount up as well, as we see big name players like Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr., Mike Evans, CeeDee Lamb, Bucky Irving, Chuba Hubbard, Brock Bowers, and others not in action. You can tell there have been a lot of injuries, because there have already been 42 waiver claims processed so far this season, along with 35 free agent pick-ups! That’s over half the number of players drafted at the start of the year… insane!
Just a quick update this week, but no week is complete without a Best Bench…
BEST BENCH
There were not a lot of points on benches this week, as the league average was just 10.8. Wyld Ass Monkeys even had an optimal line up! But, with a 21-point-improvement-possibility, the Week 6 Best Bench goes to… my Scottish Rebels!
Shawn avoided setting the four-week-in-a-row record by only having 10 points on his bench this week. For me, it is my first Best Bench since Week 6 last season. I needed only two roster moves to get there… D. Swift for T. Etienne Jr +18 and T. Lawrence for J. Allen +3. My Rebels had the longest streak without a Best Bench, and now that record shifts to the Wyld Ass Monkeys who last had a one in Week 7 last year. We’ll see how long Rob can hang on.
Get those waivers in and get ready for Week 7! Mid-terms are only two weeks away!!
