Another week, another set of stuff that happened. That stuff resulted in Coach Patrick falling two positions down the standings and Coach Nick falling one. But not all the stuff is bad stuff! Three people moved up in the rankings so there is more good than bad depending on how you look at it! Let's look at all the good and maybe dance a bit!

Green Bay Mermen vs Ministry of Silly Walks

WINNER: Green Bay Mermen

PROJECTED SCORE: 124.1 - 118.7

FINAL SCORE: 154.8 - 136.2

Star Players:

MoSW	Kareem Hunt	RB	KC	37.1 pts from 141 yds; 3 TD; 15 RUNS
RISH	Emmanuel Sanders	WR	Den	27.3 pts from 102 yds; 1 TD; 6/7 REC
RISH	Saquon Barkley	RB	NYG	26.4 pts from 94 yds; 1 TD; 14 RUNS

Underachievers:

RISH	LeSean McCoy	RB	Buf	0.1 pts (-14.4 projected) from 1 yds; 0 TD; 2 RUNS
MoSW	Kyle Rudolph	TE	Min	2.6 pts (-5.8 projected) from 16 yds; 0 TD; 1/4 REC
MoSW	Stefon Diggs	WR	Min	10.6 pts (-5.8 projected) from 26 yds; 0 TD; 8/14 REC

Green Bay was on a bye, but that didn't stop the Mermen from picking up a win!

Coach Kristin won the battle of RB1's and probably earned the league record for the largest spread on competing RB1's from the +37.0 points Kareem Hunt (37.1) outscored LeSean McCoy (0.1). With some respectable points this week, Coach Kristin just needs a little more focus if she is aims to take down the commissioner.

Sports and Such vs Mixon's I am not a Crab

WINNER: Sports and Such

PROJECTED SCORE: 117.2 - 132.8

FINAL SCORE: 136.0 - 103.6

Star Players:

SUCH	Patrick Mahomes	QB	KC	32.8 pts from 358 yds passing; 4 TD; 1 INT
SUCH	Tarik Cohen	RB	Chi	22.3 pts from 83 yds; 1 TD; 6 RUNS
CRAB	Matt Ryan	QB	Atl	19.3 pts from 379 yds passing; 1 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:

CRAB	Joe Mixon	RB	Cin	8.1 pts (-11.1 projected) from 51 yds; 0 TD; 13 RUNS
CRAB	Corey Clement	RB	Phi	4.2 pts (-8.0 projected) from 22 yds; 0 TD; 8 RUNS
SUCH	Justin Tucker	K	Bal	5.0 pts (-4.2 projected) from 1/1 field goals; 2/3 XP

It was Patrick vs Patrick, I mean Mahomes vs Mixon, err... Patrick Mahomes vs Patrick.
Patrick did all the dancing this game.

Err, I mean Mahomes did all the dancing in a victory that brushed a missed extra point by the most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL under the rug.  **Although** if Coach Brandon benched his QB, it would of been a 103.2 to 103.6 loss... Good thing Coach Brandon is smart enough to start a QB and not put the game on Tucker!

Taco Tuesdays vs PNW Western WA East Siders

WINNER: Taco Tuesdays

PROJECTED SCORE: 123.0 - 128.1

FINAL SCORE: 136.0 - 98.9

Side	Eric Ebron	TE	Ind	6.1 pts (-7.2 projected) from 31 yds; 0 TD; 3/7 REC

Coach Shane beefs his record up to 6-1, and had all the star players in this match.

The East Siders served up a side of underachievement with all 3 underachievers in a game they were projected to win. But Greg 'The Leg' Zuerlein outscored all the kickers!!!

Gordon Freeman vs Seattle Handegg Squad

WINNER: Gordon Freeman

PROJECTED SCORE: 109.2 - 96.5

FINAL SCORE: 120.4 - 76.6

Star Players:

HL3	Odell Beckham Jr.	WR	NYG	28.2 pts from 142 yds; 1 TD; 8/11 REC

HL3	Tyreek Hill	WR	KC	20.6 pts from 76 yds; 1 TD; 7/10 REC

HL3	Golden Tate	FLEX	Det	10.6 pts (-5.1 projected) from 66 yds; 0 TD; 4/6 REC

Melvin Gordon participated in pre-game workouts, but was designated out for Sunday's London game before kickoff.  Coach Nick wasn't awake for the 6:30 am kickoff, so he missed out on some points. Sleeping is pretty great, so whatever.

Most of Coach Andre's team was an awkward mess, but Tom Brady put up some good points!!!

The Good Commish vs Hamtown Hamboys

WINNER: The Good Commish

PROJECTED SCORE: 39.7 - 22.2

FINAL SCORE: 36.0 - 17.7

Star Players:

GOOD	Adam Thielen	FLEX	Min	26.0 pts from 110 yds; 1 TD; 9/10 REC
HAM	Jordan Howard	RB	Chi	11.8 pts from 48 yds; 1 TD; 12 RUNS
GOOD	David Johnson	RB	Ari	10.0 pts from 70 yds; 0 TD; 14 RUNS

Underachievers:

GOOD	David Johnson	RB	Ari	10.0 pts (-8.3 projected) from 70 yds; 0 TD; 14 RUNS
HAM	Duke Johnson Jr.	FLEX	Cle	5.9 pts (-4.5 projected) from 19 yds; 0 TD; 4/4 REC
HAM	Jordan Howard	RB	Chi	11.8 pts (0.0 projected) from 48 yds; 1 TD; 12 RUNS

Was Coach Skyler's team half-full or half-empty? I like to think full enough to win! Coach Skyler would of put up some big numbers if he used all the slots in his roster.

With most of his players on bye, Coach T.J.'s team looked like NSYNC, just without the hoards of little girls that admire the essence of his being. Maybe next time T.J...
