WEEK 10 RECAP

Ohhh you guys. This week was a little tense for the Settlers, wasn't it? Some of us offered cupcakes and kickers for starting RBs and were struck down. Some of us were bitter we were only in second place due to bonus points. Some of us had to rebuild after injured starters limped off the fields, never to return again (for the season). But we are all in this together! Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Let's get to the recap, shall we?





1.     DC Khaleesi (7-3) is close to losing her throne with a 2 game losing streak. Miranda’s team played fairly well overall, but the TE spot has plagued the team all season, ever since the pre-season trade of Tony Gonzalez for a healthy running back. With Peyton Manning taking a hard hit at the end of the Broncos game, this team is in a shaky spot going forward.
2.     Love Me Harbaughs (7-3) is making a late push for the top seed. Drew Brees continues a close race for the top overall player in fantasy football with Peyton. TY Hilton salvaged a good day despite a blowout loss on the field. Zac Stacy continues to be the wunderkind of the St. Louis Rams, padding out Betsy’s starting lineup.
3.     Think Like A Manning (6-4) had the highest score of the week with 5 players scoring over 20 points. Dana may have found a startable TE with Delanie Walker gelling with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Nick Foles had another strong week, though he was on Dana’s bench, presumable because lightning doesn’t strike twice.
4.     Bukkickers (6-4) had a good win this week. Megatron keeps proving that he’s the best receiver in the game, and Giovani Bernard is finally starting to get the majority of touches in Cinci. Billy will have to monitor Vernon Davis’ injury closely this week, but other than that he seems to be on a steady climb to the top.
5.     Sunday Funday (6-4) had great games from her Washington National Football Team starters, though her beloved team lost to the Vikings this week. If only Mike Shanahan ever decided to give Alfred Morris any of the goal line carries, Lauren would be contending for the top spot. Don’t feel too bad though, Lauren essentially won this week on a hail mary pass to AJ Green.
6.     Still reeling from the loss of Aaron Rodgers, TEAM(youbetta)TWERK! (6-4) had a rough week with 4 players scoring under 3 points each. Larry Fitzgerald continues to underperform, but fellow Mountaineer Tavon Austin might have earned some flex consideration with his huge game this week.
7.     Double Ent-Andres (5-5) squeaked out the closest win this week despite bad performances from Cam Newton and Matt Forte. The team’s namesake continues his bro-mance with Case Keenum, but Mike James’ season-ending injury is an unfortunate deja vu for Jon.
8.     Crannogmen (5-5) may have suffered from fantasy karma this week. The good news is that there was only a 4 point difference between the QBs Luke and Krittika swapped this week; the bad news is that the totals were 4 and 0 points.
9.     Tebow's Tingle (5-5) had a tough loss this week. Russell Wilson seems to be in a groove despite a lack of TDs, and Adrian Peterson is doing his thing. Amanda would have won this week if only she had played everyone’s favorite racist Riley Cooper who might be the new Chris Carter: all he catches is touchdowns.
10.  Touchdown Yeezus (4-6) was hoping for some fantasy karma after doling out some hard justice this week but had only 1 player in score in double digits. The Cowboys couldn’t muster an even respectable response to the Saints offensive machine. Anthony will need to win 3 straight to have a chance for the playoffs.
11.  Lightning McCoy (2-8) broke her losing streak this week. Trading for bye-week fill in Kaepernick didn’t exactly work out, but Oakland’s defensive TD and Shady McCoy won her this week’s matchup. With Tom Brady off bye in week 11 and hopefully back to his former self, Krittika should be able to rack up a few more wins before the season is out.
12. 50ShadesofRay(Lewis) (1-9) will check her team to make some...interesting trades but won’t check her team to fill in the 2 empty spots on her roster. Fear the Taco.


The next league event will be Saturday the 16th at 2pm at Garfield Park on 3rd & G SE for some volleyball, but if the courts are taken, ultimate football, which is the same as ultimate frisbee but with a football. Please check the league emails for your team color. Good luck this week!
