2017 - Week 8


It's Halloween! Which means it's time for a spoopy recap of the fantasy football from the weekend using Halloween gifs!


Heck yeah! It's pumpkin dance gif season!



League All-Star Players

DeAndre Hopkins, Hou WR (SUCH): 36.4 pts (+21.0, over projected)
Ravens D/ST, D/ST (GOOD): 27.0 pts (+19.5, over projected)
Deshaun Watson, Hou QB (ZEKE): 32.8 pts (+17.4, over projected)

 Houston exceeded expectations during the shootout in Seattle on Sunday. Team Sports and Such benefited the most from DeAndre Hopkins' playmaking.


League Bust Players

Jordan Reed, Wsh TE (FENE): 1.5 pts (-11.3, under projected)
Hunter Henry, LAC FLEX (RISH): 3.1 pts (-10.1, under projected)
Pierre Garcon, SF FLEX (MoSW): 3.7 pts (-9.6, under projected)

Jordan Reed may be out again next week after a rib injury that left him with only a single reception last weekend.


Best of the Bench

Jack Doyle, Ind Bench (FENE): 30.1 pts (+20.6, over projected)
Will Fuller V, Hou Bench (Red): 29.5 pts (+20.3, over projected)
Jerick McKinnon, Min Bench (ZEKE): 26.2 pts (+13.9, over projected)

The bench had a great week! Coach Fenelon's backup TE ended up with 14 targets against Cincinnati, which is great news since he's in the market for a new starting TE.




Sports and Such vs Seattle Handegg Squad

FINAL SCORE: 141.7 - 116.8

WINNER: Sports and Such


Star Players:
DeAndre Hopkins, Hou WR (SUCH): 36.4 pts from 224 yds; 1 TD; 8/11 REC
Russell Wilson, Sea QB (EGG): 35.1 pts from 452 yds passing; 4 TD; 1 INT
Harrison Butker, KC K (SUCH): 21.0 pts from 5/5 field goals; 2/2 XP

Underachievers:
Devonta Freeman, Atl RB (SUCH): 7.1 pts (-9.1 projected) from 61 yds; 0 TD; 12 RUNS
T.Y. Hilton, Ind WR (SUCH): 3.5 pts (-7.7 projected) from 15 yds; 0 TD; 2/7 REC
Doug Martin, TB RB (EGG): 8.5 pts (-3.6 projected) from 75 yds; 0 TD; 18 RUNS

Coach Brandon is starting a new winning streak after posting the week high score. Devonta Freeman and T.Y. Hilton were both projected to get much higher scores, but every other player on Sports and Such managed to break double digits. Sports and Such is on a roll again.

There were a lot of high scores this week and Coach Andre just ended up going against the wrong team. Russell Wilson is looking very good and the rest of the Seattle Handegg squad are putting up respectable points.

Coach Andre keeps getting that bad luck



Taco Tuesdays vs Redmond SkiFrees

FINAL SCORE: 136.9 - 120.2

WINNER: Taco Tuesdays


Star Players:
Jamison Crowder, Wsh WR (TACO): 22.5 pts from 135 yds; 0 TD; 9/13 REC
Eagles D/ST, D/ST (Red): 21.0 pts from 10 PA; 1 TD; 2 INT; 4 SCK; 1 BLK;
Melvin Gordon, LAC RB (Red): 20.9 pts from 139 yds; 1 TD; 14 RUNS

Underachievers:
Dez Bryant, Dal WR (Red): 7.9 pts (-6.5 projected) from 39 yds; 0 TD; 4/6 REC
Drew Brees, NO QB (TACO): 11.8 pts (-5.9 projected) from 299 yds passing; 0 TD; 0 INT
Doug Baldwin, Sea WR (Red): 11.4 pts (-3.5 projected) from 54 yds; 0 TD; 6/10 REC

Coach Shane put up the second highest score this week even though Drew Brees slumped in the win against Chicago. He'll have to thank his impressive wide receivers this week for their 18 receptions for 260 yds.

The impressive wide receivers dance



Coach Brandon was stuck watching another close matchup that ended up not going his way. Even though Doug Baldwin made some crucial catches for the Seahawks he never found the endzone, which was okay for the Seahawks but bad for Redmond SkiFrees.

Coach Brandon stuck watching his close losses



Zeke-a Virus vs Team FENELON

FINAL SCORE: 120.9 - 91.5

WINNER: Zeke-a Virus


Star Players:
Deshaun Watson, Hou QB (ZEKE): 32.8 pts from 402 yds passing; 4 TD; 3 INT
Ezekiel Elliott, Dal RB (ZEKE): 26.4 pts from 154 yds; 2 TD; 33 RUNS
Lamar Miller, Hou RB (FENE): 22.3 pts from 73 yds; 2 TD; 21 RUNS

Underachievers:
Jordan Reed, Wsh TE (FENE): 1.5 pts (-11.3 projected) from 5 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC
Tyreek Hill, KC WR (FENE): 3.8 pts (-8.8 projected) from 38 yds; 0 TD; 2/6 REC
Antonio Brown, Pit WR (ZEKE): 12.0 pts (-8.7 projected) from 70 yds; 0 TD; 5/10 REC

Team Zeke-a Virus once again had a strong week adding on their 5th win in a row. Thanks to some smart waiver wire work, coach Nick has a bench that looks more than ready to pick up some slack if Zeke is actually suspended this time.

Team Zeke-a Virus has been turning into something scary recently




Team FENELON played very well last week. This week they did not.

This week they got a rock




Green Bay Mermen vs Ministry of Silly Walks

FINAL SCORE: 115.7 - 65.9

WINNER: Green Bay Mermen


Star Players:
LeSean McCoy, Buf RB (RISH): 29.3 pts from 173 yds; 1 TD; 27 RUNS
Travis Kelce, KC TE (RISH): 26.3 pts from 133 yds; 1 TD; 7/10 REC
Michael Thomas, NO WR (RISH): 14.7 pts from 77 yds; 0 TD; 7/8 REC

Underachievers:
Hunter Henry, LAC FLEX (RISH): 3.1 pts (-10.1 projected) from 11 yds; 0 TD; 2/2 REC
Pierre Garcon, SF FLEX (MoSW): 3.7 pts (-9.6 projected) from 17 yds; 0 TD; 2/4 REC
Kareem Hunt, KC RB (MoSW): 9.8 pts (-8.0 projected) from 68 yds; 0 TD; 22 RUNS

Coach Anna extends her win streak and remains the sole leader of the league! LeSean McCoy and Travis Kelce picked up the majority of the work keeping the Mermen on top.

Coach Anna just keeps on winning



The Ministry of Silly Walks is on a losing streak this week. Looking at the numbers, coach Kristin's players in the last few weeks has seen a drop in targets. It's hard to get past single digits when you only get 3 targets.


Without changing anything, Coach Kristin suddenly stopped winning



Commissioner Goodell vs The Bad At Footballs

FINAL SCORE: 107.8 - 80.8

WINNER: Commissioner Goodell


Star Players:
Ravens D/ST, D/ST (GOOD): 27.0 pts from 0 PA; 2 TD; 2 INT; 3 SCK;
Jimmy Graham, Sea TE (GOOD): 19.9 pts from 39 yds; 2 TD; 4/5 REC
Jordan Howard, Chi RB (GOOD): 15.1 pts from 121 yds; 0 TD; 23 RUNS

Underachievers:
Devin Funchess, Car WR (GOOD): 3.1 pts (-8.5 projected) from 11 yds; 0 TD; 2/6 REC
Le'Veon Bell, Pit RB (BAD): 14.1 pts (-8.1 projected) from 81 yds; 1 TD; 25 RUNS
Julio Jones, Atl WR (GOOD): 10.4 pts (-6.0 projected) from 74 yds; 0 TD; 3/6 REC

Commissioner Goodell managed to win another this week thanks to the Raven's shut out of the Dolphins. The rest of his players were on BYE.

5 / 7 of my bench was on BYE




 The Bad at Footballs let another week go by with a missing player on their team. Coach Derek should download the fantasy football app!

Your team is crying out for help!
