We've got a big time logjam in the middle of our standings (which are actually a perfect palindrome), and one could say that no team is actually out of it. But whoever the "one" is that's saying that isn't looking at the completely craptastic roster of The Jeff Fisher Effect.
RECAPS!
It started out looking good for DVD with Davante Adams and his 180-some yards and 2 TDs. Then Tyler Lockett and his 200 yards receiving and 3 TDs happened on Sunday night. The real difference was the homerism showed by DVD: The Giants D did NOT dominate the Eagles and the Giants K also didn't do much. Pickles is better than his 3-4 record. DVD might not be as good as his 4-3 record.
Iron Ryan (4-3) continues winning streak, tops Utah Falco(3-4), 123.5-120.5
It's too tough to go back and find out for sure, but this might be the highest scoring combined QB output we've ever had, with both Kyler Murray (I-Ry) and Tom Brady (Falco) each gathering 36 points. The real difference in this one was Antonio Gibson against the Cowboys. So what have we learned from this? Start your offensive players against the just god awful Cowboys D. They stink.
Team Provost (5-2) stays on top following a win over Hamilton Rod and Gun (3-4), 118-105
This one was basically all Aaron Rodgers and James Robinson for Team Provost. And also that HRG started Jerick McKinnon, who played 12 total snaps and netted a donut in points. To be fair, had HRG played any other flex option on his roster, he still wouldn't have won so...
The Jeff Fisher Effect (2-5) sacks Hardcore Sucks (3-4), 110.5-105
It was a bye week for the RBs on both squads here. As in, Hardcore had to wheel and deal just to have any RBs to start (they ended up scoring 32 total points) and the backs that JFE started apparently took the week off (his backs combined for 9.5). Then there was Justin Herbert and his 36.5 points, that basically made up the difference in this contest.
Released Dix On Boobies (4-3) keeps rolling, defeats Regress to the Mean (4-3), 92.5-83
It's a 3 game winning streak for Boobies (heh) but I know one thing: the last two weeks have been pretty lucky. But hey, a win is a win, and from the guy who scored the fewest points in the league last year and finished .500, who am I to judge? But yeah...he's been lucky. AJ Brown scored 26 of his 92.5 points, and the Pats D lost him a point. Not great.
Money Time
Pedro Pickles won his second Tidwell on the season, only his third all-time.
Playoff Outlook
If the season ended today, Provost, RTTM, DVD and I-Ry would be the playoff teams. But that leaves the top two scorers on the outside looking in, and it seems unlikely for that to continue over a full 14 games (though the 4 teams currently "in" are third, fourth, fifth and sixth). Pedro Pickles has outscored I-Ry by more than 100 points so far this season, though Pickles has 3 games under 93 points, and I-Ry has only 1 such. TL;DR - I-Ry is a little more consistent, but Pickles has better upside.
Week 8 Matchups
- HRG has won 8 of the 11 matchups against Utah Falco.
- DVD is 5-3 all-time against Boobies (heh).
- The Effect is 5-4 in his meeting with Pedro Pickles.
- Regression is 5-4-1 all-time vs. I-Ry.
- Provost and Hardcore have split their 14 total meetings all-time (7-7).
