Mixon's I am not a Crab vs Ministry of Silly Walks

WINNER: Mixon's I am not a Crab

PROJECTED SCORE: 131.2 - 110.0

FINAL SCORE: 163.0 - 98.3

Star Players:

CRAB	Alvin Kamara	RB	NO	34.0 pts from 190 yds; 0 TD; 16 RUNS
CRAB	Robert Woods	WR	LAR	33.7 pts from 117 yds; 2 TD; 10/11 REC
CRAB	Travis Kelce	TE	KC	19.4 pts from 114 yds; 0 TD; 8/10 REC

Underachievers:

MoSW	Stefon Diggs	WR	Min	5.7 pts (-8.0 projected) from 17 yds; 0 TD; 4/10 REC
CRAB	Kirk Cousins	QB	Min	10.0 pts (-6.9 projected) from 296 yds passing; 1 TD; 1 INT
MoSW	A.J. Green	WR	Cin	10.8 pts (-6.6 projected) from 58 yds; 0 TD; 5/8 REC

Fun fact: if coach Patrick had put in Matt Ryan instead of Kirk Cousins he could have earned the season high score! Instead he will have to settle with a measly 163 points.

Coach Patrick is crying all the way to 1st place

The Jaguars' Blake Bortles and the WRs were the weak links in coach Kristin's lineup this week. I guess she was right to be concerned about the Jags "playing down to their opponent."

Taco Tuesdays vs Gordon Freeman

WINNER: Taco Tuesdays

PROJECTED SCORE: 132.1 - 125.8

FINAL SCORE: 149.2 - 108.3

Star Players:

TACO	Drew Brees	QB	NO	40.5 pts from 396 yds passing; 5 TD; 0 INT
HL3	Ryan Fitzpatrick	QB	TB	25.1 pts from 411 yds passing; 3 TD; 3 INT
TACO	Todd Gurley II	RB	LAR	24.6 pts from 156 yds; 1 TD; 23 RUNS

Underachievers:

HL3	Tyreek Hill	WR	KC	7.6 pts (-9.2 projected) from 56 yds; 0 TD; 2/5 REC
TACO	Rob Gronkowski	TE	NE	9.1 pts (-8.2 projected) from 51 yds; 0 TD; 4/5 REC
HL3	Evan Engram	TE	NYG	2.9 pts (-7.1 projected) from 19 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC

Drew Brees was the highest scoring QB of the week. He is also, in my professional opinion, the QB that looks the most like someone's dad. So good job Drew Brees and good job coach Shane on another high scoring week.

100% Someone's Dad

Coach Nick had his first loss of this season due to some down games across the board. Does it help that two of his bench players had breakout weeks? Maybe next week.

Green Bay Mermen vs PNW Western WA East Siders

WINNER: Green Bay Mermen

PROJECTED SCORE: 117.4 - 122.4

FINAL SCORE: 136.3 - 125.9

Star Players:

RISH	Cam Newton	QB	Car	29.6 pts from 150 yds passing; 4 TD; 0 INT
Side	Deshaun Watson	QB	Hou	25.0 pts from 385 yds passing; 2 TD; 1 INT
Side	Adrian Peterson	RB	Wsh	24.0 pts from 120 yds; 2 TD; 19 RUNS

Underachievers:

RISH	Nelson Agholor	WR	Phi	6.4 pts (-7.2 projected) from 24 yds; 0 TD; 4/5 REC
Side	Ezekiel Elliott	RB	Dal	14.8 pts (-6.2 projected) from 138 yds; 0 TD; 16 RUNS
Side	T.Y. Hilton	WR	Ind	10.0 pts (-5.8 projected) from 50 yds; 0 TD; 5/10 REC

Coach Anna beat the projection this week! This matchup came down to the last day and JuJu Smith-Schuster sealed the win for the Mermen.

It's a corgi butt

Coach Brandon is having flashbacks from last season. He was winning through a large part of the weekend, but lost right at the end of Monday night.

The Good Commish vs Seattle Handegg Squad

WINNER: The Good Commish

PROJECTED SCORE: 118.8 - 105.3

FINAL SCORE: 135.8 - 63.0

Star Players:

GOOD	Mike Evans	WR	TB	25.7 pts from 137 yds; 1 TD; 6/11 REC
GOOD	Adam Thielen	WR	Min	24.5 pts from 105 yds; 0 TD; 14/19 REC
GOOD	Giovani Bernard	RB	Cin	19.6 pts from 86 yds; 1 TD; 12 RUNS

Underachievers:

EGG	Tom Brady	QB	NE	7.5 pts (-13.5 projected) from 133 yds passing; 1 TD; 1 INT
EGG	Keenan Allen	WR	LAC	5.4 pts (-11.9 projected) from 44 yds; 0 TD; 3/7 REC
EGG	Kenyan Drake	RB	Mia	3.0 pts (-10.7 projected) from 10 yds; 0 TD; 5 RUNS

Coach Andre's players let him down this week. Tom Brady: let him down. Dalvin Cook: let him down. Kenyan Drake: let him down. Keenan Allen: let him down. Jordan Reed: actually did pretty well for a tight end. Amari Cooper: let him down.

Coach Andre waiting for his players to not let him down

Sports and Such vs Hamtown Hamboys

WINNER: Sports and Such

PROJECTED SCORE: 115.6 - 93.6

FINAL SCORE: 115.2 - 74.0

Star Players:

SUCH	Patrick Mahomes	QB	KC	25.3 pts from 314 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT
SUCH	Christian McCaffrey	RB	Car	21.4 pts from 194 yds; 0 TD; 28 RUNS
HAM	Davante Adams	WR	GB	18.2 pts from 52 yds; 1 TD; 7/9 REC

Underachievers:

SUCH	Larry Fitzgerald	WR	Ari	2.9 pts (-11.0 projected) from 9 yds; 0 TD; 2/2 REC
HAM	Randall Cobb	WR	GB	4.3 pts (-7.9 projected) from 23 yds; 0 TD; 4/11 REC
SUCH	Vikings D/ST	D/ST	FA	5.0 pts (-6.4 projected) from 27 PA; 3 SCK;

Both coaches had a player out for injury in this game. Luckily for coach Brandon there was Patrick Mahomes and Christian McCaffrey there to help pick up the slack.

Coach TJ didn't have as much support. Maybe it was because of the Packers' bad week and the fact that the Hamtown Hamboys are 4/9ths Green Bay.
