Week 6 Recap


What’s up fools!  

The office of the commissioner is back in business!  

Welcome to Brocktober!

Your trusty commish has been slacktastic this season with the Recaps, but that all changes today.  OK, it’s just one week, but let’s cover what happened in Week 6, any trend lines for teams, and how it all may portend results through the rest of the season.   So, without further a doo-doo…

130.06  Ambassador of Saquon 4-2-0 | 2nd
108.14  Keep Calm & Thong 1-5-0 | 10th

This was a big fuckin’ mismatch.  Favored by 19.5 points in Vegas, Steve not only won as expected, but he also covered the spread and made some sports book degenerates very happy. His team is so good, he can afford to make boneheaded decisions like starting Enunwa over Funchess for no reason whatsoever.  With Doug Baldwin coming on, Mahomes looking like Brett Favre, and Saquon being Saquon, this team is looking playoff-bound.  I, however, look forward to him starting the wrong defense between the Bears and Rams next week…… On the flip side of the coin of fantasy success, we find Thong-a-tron.  He’s got the worst record in the league, the least amount of total points scored in the league, and the most total points against in the league.  He also got zippy out of Dalvin Cook after everyone and Adam Schefter’s mother said he was going to play but was a late scratch.  If Thong starts Murray instead, he wins by 0.38 points and instead the conversation we’re having today is about Steve strangling a hobo in anger. 


110.81 Whodafucares 2-4-0 | 9th
168.54 I Pita the Falafool! 4-2-0 | 1st

Second verse, same as the first.   Holy crap, Falafel’s team is good.  He left 15 QB points on the table and still put up a 168 spot.  Elliott! Thielen! Gordon! Sanders! Gostowski!  Jeez Louise!  His entire team is stacked in the back.  And just to taunt us further, as we’re all struggling to field one good and healthy Tight End, he’s starting two of them and making it look smart.  With the exception of having Dez Bryant on his bench for no good reason, he can do no wrong.  This team is going to sail into the playoffs and is the odds-on favorite to win its first championship since the Truman administration. I, however, look forward to him starting the wrong QB (Goff/Wilson) each week… And now we come to Robby.  Like his beloved Dolphins, he is still employing DeVante Parker for no good reason.  He just lost DeVonta Freeman for the season.  And DeSean Jackson has Butterfingers.  His team is DeSucky!   (Actually, it’s not thaaaaat bad.  Antonio Brown, Brady, Gronk, Diggs, and Jackson form a great core.  But his running backs are hot garbage.). 


152.99  Master Blaster  4-2-0 | 4th 
101.56  Violent Comedy 3-3-0 | 7th

In the key battle of the Coles, Mike Cole got 21 points out of Baltimore’s Defense and Jason Cole got 0 points out of Tennessee’s kicker and – while not on either Cole’s team - Marcus Mariota got the living shit kicked out of him.  That being said, not much else went right for Cole The Younger.  He got 26 large out of James Conner and still barely managed to break 100.  But at least he has Alfred Morris, LeVeon Bell, TY Hilton, and Amari Cooper on his bench.   Wow, this team is trending in the wrong direction.  I’m looking forward to next week when he chooses wrong between George Kittle and Greg Olsen at Tight End.  … Meanwhile, Todd Gurley and the Gurley-men took care of business and looked like a complete team for the first time all season. All downhill from here.  (Side note: Is that a good thing or a bad thing? It's VERY unclear.).  In conclusion, I’m looking forward to choosing wrong between Wentz and Winston at QB for the rest of the season.


124.34 Four Hours of Bacon 2-4-0 | 8th
145.56 Mr. Wrench 3-3-0 | 5th 

This one was a roller coaster of emotions and false hope… Maine was getting his butt kicked for most of Sunday, but then Tyreek Hill went ape shit on Sunday night to give him a fighting chance going into the Green Bay game on Monday.  But then DeVante Adams way outperformed DeAaron Jones, and the final score made this look a lot worse than it actually was.  Are either of these two teams actually good?  Who knows!?!  Mike Frank got 17 points out of Mr. Hooper from Sesame Street and 21 points out of Tyler Boyd Esq. and 16 points out of Butt-ker and 16 points out of Joe Mix-ins.  Is that kind of thing going to last?  Doesn’t seem likely!  And Maine has Hopkins, Hill, David Johnson, and a bunch of guys.  Is that enough to claw back and make the playoffs?  Doesn’t seem likely!  Buy what the fuck do I know?  My gut said Leonard Fornette was going to have a MONSTER SEASON!


141.56 Snausages 3-3-0 | 6th
88.31 Rearviewmirror 4-2-0 | 3rd

Lastly, we come to a couple of teams trending in different directions.  Brad’s in 3rd place, but he has dropped 2 in a row after looking like a world-beater for the first 4 weeks.  However, his studs (Kamara, Thomas) from New Orleans and Marv Jones Jr. were on bye this week, so perhaps we can give him a pass.  I am personally happy that he is getting no production out of TJ Yeldon, which serves him right.  …. In other news, Sean “Snausages” Forman put up another big number this week and is starting to make his annual charge up the standings.  Sony Michel is looking like a stud, despite the weird name.  Alshon Jeffrey is healthy and catching balls from Wentz.  And Sean's got talent like Keenen Allen, and Odell Beckham Jr to spare.  … I am NOT looking forward to playing either of these teams anytime soon (What? I play them each the next two weeks?!  Fuck off!  Eat my farts!)


So quickie power rankings:
  1. Falafel
  2. Steve
  3. Mazzle
  4. Sausage
  5. Commish
  6. Pretzel
  7. Maine
  8. MCole
  9. Robby
  10. Thong

And that's that.  Don't Stop Believin'.
