Week 7 didn’t do a whole lot to the standings. The East Division is still in a holding pattern with lots of 4-3 teams. Only 2 games separates the top from the bottom. It is still anyone’s game there. Time to make some trades!
In the West, Tim beats Kevin to bring them even. Else everything is the same. A lot of distance between last place and first.
There are two and a half weeks before the trade deadline (11.14) so start talking up some trades.
*Week 7 Review – Highlights from Week 7
Frankson kept his win streak going against Brian with the help of Romo and Ryan Grant and the Patriots DST (off the wire). Brian left 76 points on the bench: most notably Palmer and Miles Austin with 29 each.
Rhett was the better 2-4 team as he beat AK in a non-division game. Rhett’s Vikings DST continue to put up consistent points for him. He is all over the waiver wire but the waiver pick ups he started only produced points in the single digits for him this week. Tough break for AK. Ricky Williams went off on the bench while Ronnie Brown was AK’s starter. AK is only 2 games back so he’s still in the hunt.
Dave get’s a big win against Derek, who was leading the division, to bring about a 3 way tie for first. Aaron Rodgers and Steve Slaton help Dave to his win. I have no idea why Braylon Edwards was started over Roddy White, though. Derek was attacked by injuries to his starters Leon Washington and Andre Johnson. Probably would have gotten 12 more points otherwise for the win. Derek also got attacked by Larry Johnson being a horrible human being. Someone needing a good DST (both scored 24 points) might offer Derek a trade for a RB…
Chris Donkey punched Matt to win this street fight and to get himself tied for first. Chris got the win with 5 guys on bye or injured and with his whole team contributing. All of Matt’s bench and 5 of his starters put up single figure point totals this game. Both players actually did perfect jobs as coaches.
Tim took down Kevin to get into a two way tie for second place. Westbrook was literally knocked out of the game and killed off Kevin’s hope for a victory. Matt Forte continues to drive Kevin crazy with terrible numbers. Tim was doing even worse at RB with every RB on his team putting up 8 total points. We all missed out on Tim’s offer of Vernon Davis’ 27 points.
*Best plays and worse plays (yeah, that’s right, not worst, just worse than the best)
Tim put Vernon Davis into his starting lineup just as he goes the fuck off. If anyone remembers last week’s word of the week, Kevin’s wiping some of it off now. Tim’s other TE wasn’t even on bye. Nice job.
A whole bunch of people pulled waiver wire DSTs and were rewarded with big points. Frankson, Kevin and Tim all hit 20+ DST points this week off the wire.
*Weekly poll
There were no clear winners to the worse first round pick poll.
Most of the league was disturbed by last week’s Newsletter picture.
*Interview
[Brian didn’t respond to the request.]
*Looking forward
The regular season is halfway done. The trade deadline is nearly upon us. The East division is all bunched up and folks are jockeying for second place in the West.
Frankson’s Chinese People are in a rematch with Kevin. Kevin can secure second place with a win from himself and Rhett.
Chris and Dave fight for leadership in the East.
AK will try to beat Derek to stay 2 games out or lose and move 3 games back.
Brian and Matt are in a non-division game.
Rhett will try to beat Tim and hope they fall into a 3 way tie for second if Kevin loses. If Kevin wins and Rhett loses, Rhett is going to be pretty far behind. Tim can secure second place with a win and a loss by Kevin.
Some guys don’t seem to be working the waiver wire hard enough.
Is it me or does it seem like DSTs are scoring a lot of points this season.
