WEEK 6 RECAP

On the eve of rivalry week, let's revisit the standings after week 6.

1. DC Khaleesi’s (5-1) undefeated streak has come to end. Both Peyton Manning and Torrey Smith had their worst games of the year. Miranda’s running backs are still playing well, but we’ll see how Rivalry Week shakes out with a few (too many?) recent trades. Picking up Knowshon Moreno is turning out to have been a great decision from earlier this season, as Knowshon had the most points of any player on the team this week.

2. Love Me Harbaughs (5-1) is currently on a 5 game win streak. Tampa’s new QB Mike Glennon seems to have a man crush on Vincent Jackson, and Andre Ellington’s recent play may win him the starting job in Arizona. Betsy has pointed out that she WOULD be undefeated had it not been for a bonus-points win in the first week against Miranda, saying that she would have won if there weren’t bonus points. But there are bonus points, Betsy. There are.

3. Think Like A Manning (4-2) has the best score of the week. Lynch and Marshall continue to be at the top of their game, and the QB switch to Matthew Stafford hasn’t slowed this team. Persistent trade proposals are finally paying off as Dana’s team is becoming one of the strongest in the league.

4. TEAM(youbetta)TWERK! (4-2) got their groove back this week. Reggie Bush rebounded from last week, and Justin Blackmon continues to be in contention for Best Waiver Pick Up of the Year. Jamie just needs Steven Jackson to get healthy to stay in the win column. Jamie exceeded his projected points by 20, nearly doubling the score of his opponent, Krittika. This week Jamie will have 10 bonus points from a HUGE trade with Billy, but the joke’s on those two because they will both get bonus points, rendering said points pretty pointless.

5. Sunday Funday’s (4-2) team is led by the Washington NFL Team’s RGIII and Alfred Morris who have been good but unfortunately for Lauren not great. An early in-game injury to James Jones and a surprising scoring barrage from the Rams over the Houston D sealed the team’s fate. Sunday Funday will likely have a better Week 7 with tight end Tony Gonzalez back on the field.

6. Crannogmen (3-3) had a good week that would have only been better if Jimmy Graham wasn’t left catchless with a possible injury. Kaepernick finally scored more than his projection albeit by a fraction of a point, but maybe he’s starting to live up to his high draft pick. Bringing in under 100 points, Luke had the lowest winning score of any team in the league.

7. Bukkickers (3-3) came into this week on a 2 game win streak. DeSean Jackson seems to be able to play with any QB in Philly, and Vernon Davis had the best scoring performance of the week. Billy’s tight end had an outstanding week, bringing in 34 points for his team. This is not the first time Billy’s tight end has scored points for him. (I’ll never get tired of these jokes.)

8. Double Ent-Andres (2-4) slayed DC Khaleesi’s dragon this week. Cam Newton continues his hot and cold season with a huge 4 TD game, and the Kansas City D sacked Terrelle Pryor 10 times...ouch. Jon Stern also saw a great game from Eddie Lacy, which made this loss that much more bitter for DC Khaleesi, who traded Lacy to Jon just last week. Watch out for that Jon Stern, you guys!

9. Touchdown Yeezus (2-4) has got the injury bug...bad...real bad. The team lost 3 players due to injuries this week, none of whom are expected to play next week, if ever again. Add Gronk’s continuing saga, and this team needs new players stat! Fire sale? With a couple trades on the horizon, Anthony’s team may have some shake-ups this week, and can hopefully help the team have a stronger week 7.

10. Tebow's Tingle (2-4) had a another Tebow-like week...mediocre to awful performances across the board. In a strange feat of scheduling, Amanda has a chance to avenge her loss to Dana in a rematch for Rivalry Week. Even though this team has experienced a couple losses, Amanda still has powerhouses Adrian Peterson and Victor Cruz, and undoubtedly the desire to come back from a loss will fuel this team into a strong week 7.

11. Lightning McCoy (1-5) is hoping that a new team name will bring new luck. The team had a terrible performance across the board, and without any receivers, Tom Brady continues to win on the football field but not in fantasy. Rivalry Week projected scores show a 50/50 chance for Krittika to edge out Luke, so it’s anyone’s game this week!

12. 50ShadesofRay(Lewis) (1-5) may have hit rock bottom with 3 inactive players in the starting line up. Allison’s running backs may have risen from the dead with Ridley and MJD both scoring in double digits, but this team needs some new blood. Watch out for some surprises from this team, as Allison is due for a comeback.

This week is RIVALRY WEEK!

This is the week where bragging rights are on the line with loved ones pitted against loved ones…and Betsy versus Jon Stern.

Each winner this week will receive an extra 30 points to their point total after all games have been played.

Good luck!
