Provost basically was held hostage into starting Marvin Jones this week, thanks to roster mismanagement and 2 other WRs on bye. But it worked out for him. Dude didn't even get to 100 yards receiving, despite 10 catches and STILL caught 4 TDs. Provost also was helped by the absolute ineptitude of the Jets goal line defense, allowing Sony Michel 3 TDs. Those 7 TDs from 2 players was definitely more than some entire rosters had this week (looking at you, Iron Ryan). HRG looks pretty vulnerable, thanks to his many Cowboys starters, and a kicker on an absolutely terrible offense.
Hardcore Sacks sits a 3-TD player, still pulls out win over Hooked on a Thielen, 124-82.5
When David Johnson is listed as active, you play him. There's no doubt about that. I mean, how can you know Kliff Kingsbury is going to lie straight to the faces of everyone and just not play the man. Luckily for Hardcore, Chase Edmonds 34 points weren't needed to topple HOTA, since he only had one player with single digit points in his lineup. HOTA was not as lucky; he got 22 points from Lamar Jackson, 16 from Lenny Fournette and not much else. Other than 43 from Aaron Rodgers on his bench. He'll be glad Nick Chubb is back from his bye this week.
Released Dix On Boobies overcomes Damien Williams, tips over Utah Falco 114-68
Yes, that headline is a reference to Falco's truck from The Replacements. (didn't want that to go unnoticed.) A combination of injuries and bye weeks really doomed UF here. Only Tom Brady scored any points on his bench. And he should have used Brady, because Matt Ryan actually cost him points. Not that it would have mattered, because Matthew Stafford threw for damn near 400 yards and 4 TDs against the defense that Boobies (heh) started. Thankfully, he also has Dalvin Cook who is laying waste to whatever defense is put in front of him.
The Jeff Fisher Effect takes advantage of opponents low score, tops Pedro Pickles 107.5-75
It's the third straight time JFE has faced an opponent who scored in the 70s, and the second time he was able to grab a victory. The point differential for JFE is just insane (see more, later on). Darren Waller was a baller, Stefon Diggs was good, and everyone else kind of held up their end of the bargain. He certainly was helped by injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Will Fuller, and Devonta Freeman forgetting he's tiny and trying to punch Aaron Donald and getting ejected. Those 3 players combined for 9.5 fantasy points, and it was basically over.
Death Valley Driver wins Banville Bowl, softens Iron Ryan 96-59
I-Ry has teh second fewest points scored in the league, yet still manages to have a winning record. His team just did nothing this week, posting the lowest point total in the league this season. Dak Prescott was his only player in double figures. Meanwhile, DVD continues to hold the trump card in the Patriots defense, which this week made the game look more like a battle and less like a pillow fight.
Rock the Tidwell
Team Provost earned the Tidwell this week, his first of the season.
This is Point-less
So, The Jeff Fisher Effect has 635 points scored this year, almost 30 fewer than the next lowest (Iron Ryan) and 189 less than top point-getter Hooked on a Thielen. The Effect ALSO has the fewest points against on the season, at 615. The second lowest points against? Also Iron Ryan with 689.
So, as bad an "offense" as The Effect has been able to muster, his "defense" has been very good. Fewest points scored in the league and STILL has a +20 point differential (Iron Ryan actually has a -25 point differential, yet a better record).
Your points leader, Hooked on a Thielen also has a negative point differential (-12.5). But the first-place Death Valley Driver has a +97.5 differential.
Such a weird season.
Will Week 8 be weird? Probably, but we won't know until we play it.
Until next time, America.
