Week 5 Results

Yeahhhhhh, I am not gonna lie to you - it is hard writing a blog (two actually) every week. I don't know how people do it - my mind just doesn't work that way. Actually, it does - I just think to myself.... is it really worth it? It is similar to being married.... at first you are banging every night. She's into it, you are clearly into it. Hot stuff. Then you start watching Netflix, maybe you find a nice series - something like Monk or New Girl. Now you are banging every other night, you gotta watch your episodes instead. Then you get to the point where she just offers up a BJ and calls it good. Suuuuuurrrreeeee, the first few times are fun - who doesn't love a good mouth hole? After a while, you are want something different - you want back in the cave! That is where this blog is getting to.... we are on our 8th BJ in 8 weeks and we need something to hit different. Nonetheless, I will power through and offer up this jackhammer to continue to doused in saliva so that this marriage can last.

Also, nobody on the trade targets made a move - and 3 of the 4 teams lost...... hmmmmmm - maybe something needs to be switched up.

Matchup of the Week

The J-Bones 2.0 (4-1) v PEN15 Wrinkle (3-2)

Matchup to Watch: Kamara v Mason.... highly underwhelming when it is all said and done. There were a few other players that stepped-up, and that is why these teams found themselves in the MotW - because they have good lineups that can score throughout. San Fran is a confusing team - one that can look so dominant, yet somehow lose the game - one might think that Mason would be a key part to putting games away. Yes, he did fumble the ball in the late stages of the game... but he was gaining yards in chunks. Kamara is always going to be the main guy in New Orleans... they just need to realize it.

Players of Note: Kraft was added on the Wednesday before the TNF game and boy was he a big pick-up for the week. They say that it is the GMs that make those types of moves that are generational type decision makers. On the flip side, G. Wilson had a big game and he could turn himself into a big trade target.... but something needs to be changed up, because the 3-2 record is highly deceiving.

Predicktion: The J-Bone 2.0.... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: The J-Bones 2.0.... RIGHT!!

Heat Hicks (1-4) v Cocaine Cowboys (2-3)

Matchup to Watch: Robinson v Ford/Sermon....You want to know who has been the most underwhelming player in fantasy football right now? BIJAN MOTHAF*CKIN ROBINSON. No, he is not on the trade block.... because we all know the moment that he is traded, he is going to start going off. On the flip side, Semon was great in J. Taylor absence. Maybe, he has earned himself another week of service?

Players of Note: Lamar Jackson had an amazing game... one that may have vaulted him into the MVP race, if not near the top. When you need a big week, Lamar is the guy to bet on.... and without him, this matchup would have easily gotten away. To be fair, nobody saw the game that Slayton had. He is one of the more talented receivers on NYG not named Nabers. Slayton may have carved himself out some more targets in the future.

Ertz when Eifert (3-2) v Love Hurts (3-2)

Matchup to Watch: I am not gonna lie... I am really confused with the decision making process of subbing out Murray for Fields. Fields has been playing well and Dallas has not been the best of defense. Clearly, I am a Monday Morning QB and hindsight is 20/20.... but that has gotta hurt seeing the difference between the two QBs and the difference in the final.

Players of Note: Let's just be completely honest, Love Hurts should just thank their lucky stars. You know the only way to get a win when you score the 2nd fewest points in the week? You play the person who scored the fewest points in the week. Can it really be that bad? Well, both teams missed the 3rd fewest points by 10 points and then the rest of the league breached the 100 point mark.

ARBL (2-3) v Connor's Stalions (5-0)

Matchup to Watch: Hill v Aiyuk.... Yup, thing have really dropped off for Hill - he needs Tua. Not that it really would have mattered, Stalions is the team to beat in the league. Aiyuk finally had a big game and if that continues, this team might not lose all season long. Can you imagine? That would be nutty.

Players of Note: If you didn't know, Geno Smith was passing yards leader of allllll of the NFL coming into this week. The Seahawks are a sneaky pass-first team and Geno may find himself near the top of that list come season's end. Bowers deserves some kind of shoutout... all the talk has been about Jayden Daniels, but yet - Bowers is leading the position. TE has been tough to find something that is consistent and having Bowers is a key to Stalions success.

Predicktion: Connor's Stalions... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: Connor's Stalions... RIGHT!!

Ankle Holster (3-2) v MAYEday (2-3)

Matchup to Watch: Reed v Chase.... put a spotlight on a guy and watch him go! Chase was the high point getter of all players this week and a lot of it came on big chunk plays. Chase had two touchdown receptions, one for 70 yards and one for 41 yards.... it was an amazing game and Burrow and Chase might just be back.

Players of Note: DJ Moore is starting to heat up. People were down on him at first and honestly, the trade to get Moore has been a big one for MAYE (probably cost Heat Hicks at least 2 wins). He had a big week this week and now sees himself launched into the top 15 at WR - and trending upward. On the flip side, Ankle Holster's top point getter would have only placed 5th on MAYEday's team this week - there is a reason why the belt is going to MAYEday!

The J-Bones (2-3) v Bootay Pirates (1-4)

Matchup to Watch: You can pretty much forget about this Matchup to Watch... Taylor didn't even suit up. The Indianapolis offense is a disaster and they can't even beat the lowly Jags. There are a lot of similarities between that game (Indy v Jville) and this matchup. One team comes in 2-2 and the other 0-4. One team has a chance to push themselves near the top of the division, but can't seem to close the door. Another team is set on keeping everyone in their lineup (and failing), but this one last glimmer of light - might just keep the hope alive!

Players of Note: Holy Darnell Mooney. It does help with Cousins decides to throw for over 500 yards... those yards gotta go somewhere. Mooney had a big game and it was needed for the week for Bootay to get their first win of the season. Nobody has a 0 in the win column anymore.

Predicktion: Bootay Pirates.... RIGHT!!

Cleveland Streamers (2-3) v Pendulous TD's (2-3)

Matchup to Watch: Well, Richardson decided to not to play - sooooo the Matchup to Watch was not so eventful. Especially considering Streamers went with Huntley.... woops. Luckily it didn't matter, Etienne is looking more and more like he is in a 50/50 backfield with Bigsby. It also doesn't help that Bigsby seems to run better with the ball.

Players of Note: Holy Drake London. See The J-Bones v Bootay Pirates Players of Note. Streamers also went from having no defense to having Denver - who scored 15 points and finished 3rd for the week. Yup, making the right calls at the right time!

Predicktion: Pendulous TDs.... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: Cleveland Streamers... RIGHT!!
