Week 4

Welcome to Week 4 of fantasy football! I've noticed that as the season goes on, scores tend to go down. Star players from last season are either injured or picked on by defenders who focus on shutting them down. So, even though the scores are lower, the match ups were still very close! Let's see how everyone did.

  
  

Team Vogel vs. Ministry of Silly Walks

FINAL SCORE: 106 - 94

WINNER: Team Vogel

Coach Jenny vs coach Kristin was a battle of star players who are still performing amazingly! Russell Wilson threw 3 TDs and got 24 points for coach Jenny (even though he got -5 yards of rushing on his hurt ankle/knee) and Big Ben Roethlisberger threw 5 TDs and got 34 points for Pittsburgh. Ezekiel Elliott ran for 20 points and Michael Crabtree caught for 26 points. These are all some high flying stats!

So where was the difference? Kickers and defenses. The Ministry of Silly Walks got -1 point from kicker Stephen Gostkowski and -1 point from the Panthers' defense. Ouch.

  

  

Commissioner Goodell vs Space Cowboys

FINAL SCORE: 104 - 90

WINNER: Commissioner Goodell

The Space Cowboys ended up losing another close game that came down to the last hours on Sunday. If there was an award for closest matches, coach Brandon would certainly win it (Unfortunately there isn't a prize for that). Coach Brandon's highest scoring player was actual space cowboy Blake Bortles who led the way with 25 points in the Jaguars' first win of the season while playing in London.

Coach Skyler ended up winning though, almost entirely thanks to a godlike performance from Julio Jones who caught 12 passes for 300 yards and a touchdown for 36 points.

36 points!

So even though the Space Cowboys' gif was cooler, Commish Goodell managed the win in the end with 34% of thanks going solely to Julio Jones.

  
  

Brandonia Dr0idz vs Fantasyland Fits of Fantasy

FINAL SCORE: 69 - 75

WINNER: Fantasyland Fits of Fantasy

Both teams had two bright spots on their rosters and at least two gaps that left them hanging this week. Coach Brandon got 0 points from his wide receiver in San Francisco and coach Patrick got 0 points from his wide receiver in Houston. In addition, the Brandonia Dr0idz made the mistake of playing the Jets defense against the Seahawks this week. Don't bet against the Seahawks!

Coach Patrick pulled off the win thanks to a 19 point performance from his tight end. I've already made so many tight end jokes and it's only week 4.

  
  

Pup 'n Suds vs Tight Endz

FINAL SCORE: 60 - 72

WINNER: Tight Endz

Speaking of tight ends, this game's winner is Team Tight Endz. Although, team Tight Endz really does needs to find some better ones because Coby Fleener from New Orleans only made 1 point for coach Anna.

Luckily the rest of her team picked up the slack, including 11 points from Allen Robinson and 15 points from Cam Newton before he was pulled from the game for a concussion.

Team Pup 'n Suds was doing really well coming into this week, but coach Andre was again let down by some usual NFL stars. Matt Forte was held to "Matt Piano" levels with a season low 27 yards thanks to the Seahawks defense, and Odell Beckham Jr. dropped 6 passes leaving him with only 2 points.
