Week 8, or Sleep Deprivation

Well, it’s not as long as it usually is…

But here’s the Weekly Notes, written between sleeping and restoring electricity to massive amount of customers. (I noticed no one else volunteered to write them...) RECAPS!

Team Provost (151) vs. The Jeff Fisher Effect (76.5)

The winning streak is over for The Effect. He got blasted, thanks to Zeke and Shady, and no thanks to Todd Gurley (bye week) and the Chiefs offense against the Denver defense (all of whom played for The Effect). Provost was dealt a big blow with Zeke’s suspension being reinstated. Who knows if it sticks this time.

Pedro Pickles (130) vs. Outta Luck (87)

Russell Wilson and Ty Asshole. That’s the big difference. Hilton has not been great or consistent with Jacoby Brisket throwing to him, and Wilson just threw the ball everywhere. Will Fuller kind of sums up Outta Luck’s season (28.5 points on his bench).

Hooper’s Heroes (109.5) vs. Released Dix On Boobies (48)

Tough to win when your highest scoring player (and only player in double digits) gets you 14 points (Tom Brady). I recall writing something about Boobies (heh) being on the upswing. But Amari Cooper reverted to Week 6 form. Hooper put up a solid day, with some help from the Ravens D which isn’t as good as their fantasy scores indicate.

Iron Ryan (102) vs. Grim Reaper (101.5)

Second time for each of these guys being involved in a half-point game, Reaper is hoping for another stat correction (it’s his second loss by 0.5 in three weeks, the first we thought was a tie). Reaper’s downfall might have been sitting Isaiah Crowell (which is a sentence I never thought I would write).

Jameis Winston Zeddemore (85) vs. Scrote Squad (71)

Zeddemore pulled out the win largely thanks to Travis Kelce on Monday night.

He’s 4-4, despite being the only team in the league without a 100-point week. Scrote continued his disappearing-reappearing act. I’d have to confirm but he might be the most up and down team this year.

Money Winner

Team Provost is a first time money winner this week, though he’s been flirting with it. Kind of impressive it’s his first time, given that he’s the second highest scoring team in the league.

And WTF, NFL?

The NFL trade deadline is not usually stacked with trades. But Jay Ajayi, Jimmy Garoppolo and Kelvin Benjamin all found new teams this week. Only two of those players seems fantasy relevant at this point.

Week 9 is coming up fast!

Get it? Up fast?

Sorry. I'm tired.
