2017 - Week 7

During the 7th weekend of Fantasy Football action we saw several lopsided victories. The closest match was decided by 25 pts. Let's see how that happened!

League All-Star Players

Ezekiel Elliott, Dal FLEX (ZEKE): 40.9 pts (+19.6, over projected)

Derek Carr, Oak QB (BAD): 30.2 pts (+14.3, over projected)

Carson Wentz, Phi QB (FENE): 31.0 pts (+13.6, over projected)

Ezekiel Elliott had a great week. His roller coaster of going from suspended to unsuspended hasn't seemed to phase him at all.

League Bust Players

Carson Palmer, Ari QB (ZEKE): 2.9 pts (-13.0, under projected)

Jordy Nelson, GB WR (MoSW): 2.3 pts (-12.4, under projected)

Marshawn Lynch, Oak RB (SUCH): 0.9 pts (-11.3, under projected)

Another week, another injured QB. Carson Palmer broke his arm and will be out for at least 8 weeks.

Best of the Bench

Dak Prescott, Dal Bench (FENE): 30.0 pts (+12.3, over projected)

Alex Smith, KC Bench (GOOD): 25.7 pts (+7.9, over projected)

Jameis Winston, TB Bench (TACO): 23.4 pts (+8.1, over projected)

Dallas owned the individual high scores this week thanks to their 40 - 10 win over the 49ers.

Team FENELON vs Ministry of Silly Walks

FINAL SCORE: 159.0 - 75.0

WINNER: Team FENELON

Star Players:

Carson Wentz, Phi QB (FENE): 31.0 pts from 268 yds passing; 4 TD; 1 INT

Jordan Reed, Wsh TE (FENE): 26.4 pts from 64 yds; 2 TD; 8/10 REC

Tyreek Hill, KC WR (FENE): 25.2 pts from 132 yds; 1 TD; 6/8 REC

Underachievers:

Jordy Nelson, GB WR (MoSW): 2.3 pts (-12.4 projected) from 13 yds; 0 TD; 1/4 REC

A.J. Green, Cin WR (MoSW): 7.1 pts (-9.2 projected) from 41 yds; 0 TD; 3/6 REC

Ty Montgomery, GB RB (MoSW): 2.5 pts (-9.2 projected) from 15 yds; 0 TD; 4 RUNS

Team FENELON leads the league this week in points thanks to double-digit performances from all of his players except his kicker. In fact, the only reason his kicker didn't get more points is because he was injured in the game against the 49ers (obviously from Dak and Zeke scoring so much).

Kickers are the one position you don't expect an injury

(except D/ST I guess...)

Without changing much on her team, coach Kristin saw decreased production across the board this week. Most of her players failed to break past 10.0 pts this week mostly because none of her players had any TDs. That's just bad luck and you'd expect it to be back on track next week.

It's hard to win games with 0 touchdowns

Green Bay Mermen vs Taco Tuesdays

FINAL SCORE: 155.4 - 85.7

WINNER: Green Bay Mermen

Star Players:

LeSean McCoy, Buf RB (RISH): 27.2 pts from 122 yds; 2 TD; 23 RUNS

Todd Gurley, LAR RB (RISH): 25.4 pts from 154 yds; 1 TD; 22 RUNS

Kirk Cousins, Wsh QB (RISH): 23.9 pts from 303 yds passing; 3 TD; 1 INT

Underachievers:

Davante Adams, GB WR (TACO): 3.2 pts (-8.0 projected) from 12 yds; 0 TD; 2/5 REC

Alshon Jeffery, Phi WR (TACO): 5.7 pts (-7.8 projected) from 37 yds; 0 TD; 2/6 REC

Rob Gronkowski, NE TE (TACO): 8.1 pts (-7.3 projected) from 51 yds; 0 TD; 3/7 REC

The Green Bay Mermen stay in the lead with another victory this week! Coach Anna's team was consistent across the board getting points from all departments. This looks like the team to beat so far!

The Mermen continue their roll

Team Taco Tuesdays fell below their average this week mostly because of bad performances from the WR corps. This wasn't because of a lack of passes though, they had a combined 7 receptions from 17 targets.

Coach Shane all weekend

Redmond SkiFrees vs The Bad At Footballs

FINAL SCORE: 135.7 - 91.4

WINNER: Redmond SkiFrees

Star Players:

Derek Carr, Oak QB (BAD): 30.2 pts from 417 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT

Doug Baldwin, Sea WR (Red): 24.2 pts from 92 yds; 1 TD; 9/12 REC

Le'Veon Bell, Pit RB (BAD): 22.2 pts from 192 yds; 0 TD; 35 RUNS

Underachievers:

Melvin Gordon, LAC RB (Red): 5.4 pts (-10.2 projected) from 44 yds; 0 TD; 18 RUNS

Eric Decker, Ten WR (BAD): 0.0 pts (-9.4 projected) from 0 yds; 0 TD; 0/2 REC

Buccaneers D/ST, D/ST (BAD): -1.0 pts (-6.4 projected) from 30 PA; 1 FR; 1 SCK;

Coach Brandon didn't need his superstar RB this week. Melvin Gordon was averaging 35 pts per game for the last two weeks, but he suddenly dropped to 5pts this week. Luckily, every other player on the Redmond Skifrees stepped up to get a win streak going.

Teamwork!

The Bad at Footballs had the highest average per player if you ignore the 3 players who got 0.0pts and the one who got -1.0pts. With a few adjustment coach Derek could have had this game!

Coach Derek on the Season so far

Zeke-a Virus vs Seattle Handegg Squad

FINAL SCORE: 123.1 - 98.3

WINNER: Zeke-a Virus

Star Players:

Ezekiel Elliott, Dal FLEX (ZEKE): 40.9 pts from 219 yds; 3 TD; 1/3 REC

Russell Wilson, Sea QB (EGG): 26.4 pts from 334 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT

Antonio Brown, Pit WR (ZEKE): 16.5 pts from 65 yds; 1 TD; 4/10 REC

Underachievers:

Carson Palmer, Ari QB (ZEKE): 2.9 pts (-13.0 projected) from 122 yds passing; 0 TD; 1 INT

Demaryius Thomas, Den WR (EGG): 2.9 pts (-10.7 projected) from 9 yds; 0 TD; 2/6 REC

Austin Hooper, Atl TE (EGG): 1.6 pts (-7.5 projected) from 6 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC

Team Zeke-A Virus won the closest matchup of the week! Zeke really earned his mascot status as he scored 3 TDs from 27 touches this week.

A good week for mascots

Russell Wilson filled in for Aaron Rodgers on coach Andre's team and he had a great week. Unfortunately the Seattle Handegg squad still struggled with getting TDs from his wide receivers who only caught 10 of 24 targets.

Coach Andre is having a tough start to the season

Sports and Such vs Commissioner Goodell

FINAL SCORE: 93.9 - 67.7

WINNER: Sports and Such

Star Players:

Julio Jones, Atl WR (GOOD): 24.9 pts from 99 yds; 1 TD; 9/13 REC

Zach Ertz, Phi TE (SUCH): 19.9 pts from 89 yds; 1 TD; 5/5 REC

Tom Brady, NE QB (SUCH): 18.5 pts from 249 yds passing; 2 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:

Marshawn Lynch, Oak RB (SUCH): 0.9 pts (-11.3 projected) from 9 yds; 0 TD; 2 RUNS

Frank Gore, Ind FLEX (SUCH): 3.4 pts (-8.5 projected) from 34 yds; 0 TD; 0/0 REC

Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR (GOOD): 5.9 pts (-8.3 projected) from 29 yds; 0 TD; 3/3 REC

Sports and Such avoided a losing streak this week with solid performances from his D/ST, Kicker and TE. Basically the opposite of most team compositions. Although, it didn't help that Marshawn got himself suspended for a week after his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

It's hard to dislike this man

Commissioner Goodell sported the lowest score this week thanks to bad games all around (except for you Julio and Jimmy, you two are okay).

Last week's high score wasn't meant to last
