Week 6, or International Chuck A Puck Day

 So yeah, I missed last week. Even after it seemed pointless to do recaps, I intended to do a preview of the upcoming week.

Yeah, that didn't happen either. So here, I'll get back to the snark and the silliness.

Happy International Chuck A Puck day everyone! Ask Kevin.

Recaps? Eh, whatever. You already know if you won or not. Regress To The Mean won another Tidwell (his second on the season, the first repeat winner in 2020). But it's not like it took a lot: we scored a total of 984.5 points in Week 6, the first time we as a league failed to top 1,000 points (actually the first time we didn't get to 1,100 on the season). We had only 40% of the league even top 100 points (RTTM, Hardcore, HRG and I-Ry). It was a low scoring week. Not shockingly, the 4 teams that broke 100 all won, and so did Boobies (heh) who scored 89 points. I just realized I should be more mad about this, as the scorer of 95...

Highlights and Lowlights

• Pedro Pickles decided to sit his second-round pick in Kenyan Drake, and it cost him a win. I mean, Drake stinks, but the Cowboys defense is worse.
• Derrick Henry did Derrick Henry things for HRG: a 94-yard TD run is worth 16 points in our league (yardage + TD + bonus). It's basically more points than The Effect puts up in any given week.
• Speaking of low point totals, Utah Falco is actually the lowest scoring team in the league overall (1 point less than JFE). He's managed to stay 3-3, so if McCaffrey comes back soon, he might be in the mix.
• RTTM was the Tidwell winner, and his THIRD highest scorer was his kicker. Man, the Falcons also suck. But also, no one started Brandon McManus and his 6 FGs against the Pats. Don't bother checking waivers though; he's been added.
• If you didn't see your team listed here, you can just assume there were mostly lowlights for you, but not so low that you got mentioned here. So...congratulations?

Standings

I'm sure you've all seen, but we have a huge chunk of people in the middle of our standings. The top 8 teams are either 4-2 or 3-3. Then you've got the second highest scorer in the league (Pedro Pickles) sitting at 2-4. Basically the only one out of it is the 1-5 Jeff Fisher Effect. He's not officially out of reach, but there's a lot of teams to jump. But it's a weird season: anything can happen.

Or at least that's what I have to keep telling myself...

Week 7 Preview

• HRG (3-3) gets Team Provost (4-2). He'd like to win to keep pace. HRG has the most points in the league. Team Provost looks at his team on Sunday at 11:45am ET.
• JFE (1-5) gets Hardcore (3-3). It's kind of a must-win for JFE. Lucky for him, Hardcore's entire RB stable is on bye.
• Utah Falco (3-3) faces off with I-Ry (3-3). I-Ry has been putting up big points the last couple week, and he hopes it continues. Falco basically needs CMC back to have any hope.
• DVD (4-2) draws Pedro Pickles (2-4). Pickles just needs to make the right calls in his lineup. DVD traded away his best RB. Pickles could really use a win to help keep pace. DVD needs to steal whatever wins he can.
• RTTM (4-2) gets Boobies (heh)(3-3). Obviously they both want to win.
