The Climb Back (Week 6)

 


Week 6 was rough for just about everyone (except Da GAWD). When the 2nd highest point total is 145, you know the bye weeks are in full effect. Despite the point disparity, the standings are still just as close as ever. The bottom qtr (except Gordon) are just 2 wins away from playoff contention and anything is possible in this 2020 season. Let's recap to see where we all ended up.

Itz Gonna Ertz 125.20 vs Philip on my Chubb 140.60

Your team made a valiant effort to find diamonds in the rough without its coveted trifecta. But this team was just a shell of its former glory. The fact that you're getting production from players like Claypool and Fulgham is a testament to the instability in the league. Hopefully with the trifecta back, these two waiver heroes can help round out the rest of your squad. Word on the street is, your QB might find another weapon. Pick yourself up or you'll be laying next to last place in no time.


Looks like the champ is rolling right along with another win. Light work. This wasn't a banger of a game for him, but the steady double digit points from each of his players made this win look easy. It might be just me, but Fuller has been playing like he's not going to have a season ending injury this year (2020 Amirite?). Right now, you're poised to stay on top as long as all those solid RBs stay healthy. I want to see the fall in the playoffs but until then, keep making these wins looks easy. 


Los Lobos 100.45 vs falseProfits 136.40

What a major let down in several areas. Devante Parker against the Jets should've been a 100 yds and a TD game. Tyreek Hill against the Bills should've at LEAST netted 10 points and Mark Andrews put together a dud vs a struggling Eagles team. On top of that, Chase Edmons is back to normal. This is just a case of bad luck that was softened by the fact that you already had 3 wins. With this loss and putrid point total, you officially hold the bag for least points in the league so far and have dropped to 8th place. You're 500, and this team can go either way at this point. Choose wisely on the direction you take. 


Another week another solid win. You're now comfortably in 4th place with Michael Thomas on deck and your entire bench coming back from bye. Normally when a squad's players are missing, you just hold you nose and YOLO the line up. In this case, it worked out perfectly despite a major goose egg from Gesicki. On the low, you could be a problem in the playoffs if Ekler comes back to form. Until then, keep playing smart and winning under the radar. This a great turnaround from your previous season's absentee lineups. Salute. 


This Team Iz Kanye 111.35 vs A Team Has No Name 127.65

I've run out of things to say regarding your 0-forever start. As the person that introduced you to this league, its getting harder and harder for me to defend your skills. Essentially, you've become the Kanye for Black people to me. You started off hot your first year and now people are questioning how and why you're in the league. You fought hard in the off season for your last chance so don't blow it. Let someone else get last place so its funnier - like maybe Shorty having the highest point total and then paying a loser fee. Until then, strive for more points or make a damn trade. 


Look who's decided to put together a lil win streak after getting some healthy players. Led by his favorite QB's 38 points, Watson was able to stave off Jesus' impending doom of losing to Gordon. What a relief, because I would have been ready to ROAST Jesus for leaving Justin Jefferson on the bench when he was playing the Atlanta Failcans secondary. Those points are gonna haunt you when it comes to seeding for playoffs. Anyway, congrats on rising to .500. But I say this with sincerity, I'm knocking you back down to earth next week. Congrats on outrunning Gordon's points in a down week. 


Samuel Lamar Jackson 102.10 vs Green Eggs and SAM 139.85

I hope you're getting comfortable down here in the bottom of league, because you might be here a while. I mean your receivers are solid enough, but you working RB5's right now and at best an RB3 in Melvin Gordon. I don't know how much Lamar Jackson and the WR crew can keep carrying this squad. You and Gordon might have to team up for a proper trade to make both your teams capable of leaving standings hell. I'm thinking that when you eventually saw your point total and your squad, this was the view of your face from your lineup on the phone.  


Things must've gotten a lil scary for you when you saw your beloved already losing on Sunday. You know when one goes down, the other follows. At one point, it looked like Kirk Cousins and Miles Sanders' blooper like TD fails were gonna have you punching the air. Lucky for you, you played Gerald and got some great production from CEH on Monday's game. Maybe it was a coordinated effort to have matching records to go along with your matching tattoos of each other on your backs. Going forward you're gonna have some tough decision to make at QB, but a win without Dak is still a great win. Congrats on staying afloat despite the devastation. 


ShuTheBucUP 103.70 vs Kamaravirus 131.25

This week must've been really rough when you watched Aaron Rodgers act like he forgot how to score a TD. On top of that, Dalvin Cook wasn't able to play and Le'veon wasn't able to play for his newfound team. Those are the breaks I guess. There's not much you could do for this loss so I can't be too hard on you.......Edddie's got that covered. Going forward, your wins might not be easy, but at least you've got a 4 win buffer that SHOULD allow you to make the playoffs. Write off this week as a fluke. 


I don't know how much more winning you can keep doing but you're clearly doing it. Without Alvin Kamara, you still managed to get great production from Kelce and AJ Brown to solidify another worry free victory. I'm imagining your Sundays are filled with stress free decisions and an ability to sleep on Sunday nights like never before. Be a shame if all this winning came to an abrupt end. A GAWD can dream. Nothing else to say here except there's no reason that Gardner Minshew should still be putting up these type of points while the rest of your squad balls out. 

Easy Drake Oven 145.80 vs DA GAWD 212.85

I don't know if I'm this good or if your luck turned this bad. First you yawned off everyone's concerns about schedule changes. Then you yawned about the extra bench spots. Then you got struck with a Quis curse. With this schedule change, you managed to play the highest point total in the league (by far) when you have the second highest point total yourself. You didn't do anything wrong except be in my way. This spanking hurt me more than it hurt you.


Everything come back around full circle. Nothing like me playing Shorty to set myself back on the right track. This that come back to life week. Derrick Henry picked me up and we gonna paint the league REDD. Little by little, normalcy will start to play out in the league and I'll be ready to make the playoff comeback for the ages. 



#Amen
