Week 6 Review

 Hello League-Mates, and welcome to the Week 6 Review. 

It was a really, really, underwhelming week 6. Some offenses really couldn't find a groove, and I believe that it reflected in our scores because only 4 teams scored more than 100 points. And all 4 of those 100 point scorers were pitted against each other. Which leads me to my next point: JOHNNY LOST!!!! Much like Howard Cosell announced on January 22, 1973, "Down goes Frazier!!!", I shouted to Chrissy, Kujo, and Felix, "Down goes Johnny!!! Down goes Johnny!!!". Hats off to my Dad for pulling an upset that he compared to Buster Douglas upsetting Mike Tyson. 

I don't really care to dwell too much on the losses of other league-mates because there could be bad Karma, so let's move onto Week 6 Power-Rankings, worst to first. 

10. Kaleigh, "Booze Bags": The struggle is real for Kaleigh this year. I have been shouting from the mountain tops that Kaleigh was lying to us at the draft and that she has been playing opossum this entire season. But I can't believe anyone would sand-bag this far into the season. Hoping Kaleigh can hit a winning streak instead of having to hit the bottle to cope with this dumpster fire of a season. 

9. John Sr, "Password is Tacos": John Sr. pulled off the smallest margin of victory so far this season over Caleb this week. I was watching that score closely all Monday night, and I thought that Cee Dee Lamb was going to be able to pull the victory off for Caleb. But that didn't happen, and Sr. earned his second victory of the year. Regardless, Sr. still has the second lowest points scored, so therefore, he is in 9th place. 

8. Caleb, "NIGHT OWLS": Every time I type that, I still feel like I'm screaming it. Caleb hasn't had much luck this year, but he can still turn it around, I think. 

7. Ian, "Dog Orgy": I know what everyone is thinking, because Ian is in 3rd place. But hear me out, Ian has scored 606 points, the 3rd lowest total this year, AND he's actually been outscored as well. This isn't the first time that a low scoring team has worked it's way into the top 4 of the standings. Also, this trend could very well continue and Ian is in the play-offs. 

6. Kory, "Run and Tug": Kory has texted me numerous times this year, and I had to talk him over the proverbial "ledge". For a man who has been so down on his team, he is sitting in a really good spot. At this point in the season a major injury to another team and some good waiver wire moves or trades could propel Kory back into the play-offs. 

5. Carl, "Space Coyotes": It has been a tale of two halves so far for me. Starting out 0-3 to breaking even at 3-3 has been stressful. I want to write so many great things about myself, but my team is really in a lot of trouble, because I am the definition of the bye-pocalypse. Week 7 is going to be a nightmare, which really upsets me because I wanted to face off against Patrick with my full-team. 

4. Jenna, "Sneaky Snail": Jenna is in 2nd place, but Jenna has scored the 4th most points while also having the least amount of points scored against her. She did pull off an impressive win over her soul-mate Patrick, so I hope she wagered and earned herself a week of homemade dinners or not having to do laundry. Anyways, Jenna may have lost Jefferson, but Taylor is back, and I do expect that when I do Week 9 rankings, Jenna will move up. 

3. Dad/Larry, "Didy P": Dad secured a big victory over Johnny this week, and we ran our rankings like the College FBS does, he probably would have catapulted into 2nd place. Dad has the 3rd highest scoring team, and he has the most points scored against. He, much like Kory, has had to be talked off the ledge a few times (I'm starting to think I should have become a police negotiator). Dad's team is stronger than I initially thought, and if I were him, I would have a picture of Raheem Mostert hanging in the garage. 

2. Patrick, "Crack Smokin' Monkeys": I don't really see a path that Patrick doesn't end up in the play-offs. He has a great team, especially now that Kupp is fully healthy and he has Smith. He will have an easy victory this week, and he should be safely in 2nd place for the rest of the season. 

1. Johnny, "Conntenders": The only thing that may hurt Johnny is if McCaffrey is injured for a significant amount of time. A small hiccup this week doesn't really weigh much on his end-of-season trajectory. I would be surprised if by the Week 9 power rankings Johnny isn't in 1st still. 

Well, there you have it, the Week 6 Power-Rankings. Like 'em, Love 'em, or Hate 'em. I wanted to give some controversy, maybe I did, but I did not. 

I wish you all Peace, Love, and Fantasy Football prosperity. 

Sincerely, 

Carl
