WINNER: Gordon Freeman

PROJECTED SCORE: 146.5 - 128.1

FINAL SCORE: 179.7 - 139.3

Star Players:

Side	Ezekiel Elliott	RB	Dal	36.7 pts from 187 yds; 2 TD; 19 RUNS
HL3	Nick Chubb	FLEX	Cle	35.9 pts from 209 yds; 2 TD; 3/3 REC
HL3	Tyreek Hill	WR	KC	32.7 pts from 137 yds; 2 TD; 7/10 REC

Side	Adrian Peterson	RB	Wsh	8.9 pts (-5.8 projected) from 69 yds; 0 TD; 19 RUNS

Coach Nick was 0.3 pts away from repeating the league high score! How does he do it? Well, it helps when even your underachiever scores 14.3 points...

Coach Nick trying to stay humble

Coach Brandon's defense racked up -7 points. He had the Carolina Panther's defense on his bench. Obviously he picked the wrong defen… Nope! The Panthers got -9 points. The East Siders should just stop playing defenses.

DONT!

Green Bay Mermen vs The Good Commish

WINNER: Green Bay Mermen

PROJECTED SCORE: 127.7 - 124.8

FINAL SCORE: 146.3 - 145.9

Star Players:

RISH	Zach Ertz	TE	Phi	40.5 pts from 145 yds; 2 TD; 14/16 REC
GOOD	David Johnson	RB	Ari	37.3 pts from 183 yds; 2 TD; 21 RUNS
GOOD	Leonard Fournette	FLEX	Jax	27.9 pts from 109 yds; 2 TD; 5/5 REC

Underachievers:

RISH	Jarvis Landry	WR	Cle	4.2 pts (-10.2 projected) from 22 yds; 0 TD; 2/5 REC
GOOD	Mike Evans	WR	TB	8.1 pts (-8.8 projected) from 51 yds; 0 TD; 3/6 REC
GOOD	Cody Parkey	K	Chi	0.0 pts (-8.5 projected) from 0/2 field goals; 2/4 XP

This game was exciting! It came down to literally the last minute of the Monday night game! A single extra catch on either side would have tipped the game.

Coach Anna pulled out the win in part by an AMAZING tight end. I mean. 40 points!? Did Philadelphia just not have any other players to throw the ball to? Crazy.

Here is Zach Ertz pretending to be an eagle

Look. Cody Parkey missed 4 kicks. Not just missed. He hit the pole 4 times. If he could have made one of those kicks... that would have been nice.

This game was agonizingly close

Taco Tuesdays vs Hamtown Hamboys

WINNER: Taco Tuesdays

PROJECTED SCORE: 135.5 - 83.0

FINAL SCORE: 126.2 - 96.1

Star Players:

TACO	Drew Brees	QB	NO	28.9 pts from 265 yds passing; 4 TD; 0 INT
TACO	Michael Thomas	WR	NO	27.0 pts from 70 yds; 2 TD; 8/8 REC
HAM	Russell Wilson	QB	Sea	26.2 pts from 176 yds passing; 3 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:

HAM	Jimmy Graham	TE	GB	2.4 pts (-9.4 projected) from 14 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC
TACO	James White	RB	NE	7.6 pts (-8.6 projected) from 26 yds; 0 TD; 1 RUNS
HAM	Jordan Howard	RB	Chi	4.2 pts (-7.6 projected) from 32 yds; 0 TD; 11 RUNS

Coach Shane didn't quite make his projection this week, but it was enough to beat the Hamboys.

Even a sloppy taco is a good taco

Coach TJ doesn't care.

Sports and Such vs Ministry of Silly Walks

WINNER: Sports and Such

PROJECTED SCORE: 115.0 - 99.9

FINAL SCORE: 125.1 - 92.2

Star Players:

SUCH	Christian McCaffrey	RB	Car	36.8 pts from 138 yds; 3 TD; 14 RUNS
MoSW	Kerryon Johnson	RB	Det	24.9 pts from 89 yds; 2 TD; 14 RUNS
SUCH	Patrick Mahomes	QB	KC	20.1 pts from 249 yds passing; 2 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:

MoSW	Kareem Hunt	RB	KC	11.6 pts (-9.7 projected) from 96 yds; 0 TD; 16 RUNS
MoSW	Kelvin Benjamin	WR	Buf	0.0 pts (-8.9 projected) from 0 yds; 0 TD; 0/3 REC
MoSW	Devin Funchess	FLEX	Car	6.2 pts (-6.7 projected) from 32 yds; 0 TD; 3/5 REC

Coach Brandon also managed to beat his projection this week. His consistent players were consistent and it was enough to buoy him to a win.

A solid victory

Coach Kristin struggled. It seems like whichever QB she leaves on her bench is the one that will do well. And two of her players ended up with 0 points.

That sucks

Mixon's I am not a Crab vs Seattle Handegg Squad

WINNER: Mixon's I am not a Crab

PROJECTED SCORE: 146.3 - 109.0

FINAL SCORE: 123.9 - 107.1

Star Players:

EGG	Aaron Jones	RB	GB	32.2 pts from 172 yds; 2 TD; 15 RUNS
CRAB	Alvin Kamara	RB	NO	26.2 pts from 102 yds; 2 TD; 12 RUNS
CRAB	Antonio Brown	WR	Pit	21.6 pts from 96 yds; 1 TD; 6/6 REC

Underachievers:

EGG	Seahawks D/ST	D/ST	FA	-6.0 pts (-10.1 projected) from 36 PA; 2 SCK;
CRAB	Travis Kelce	TE	KC	10.6 pts (-7.5 projected) from 46 yds; 0 TD; 6/7 REC
EGG	Kenyan Drake	RB	Mia	5.8 pts (-7.5 projected) from 38 yds; 0 TD; 8 RUNS

I guess the projection of 146.3 points was a bit high for coach Patrick this week, but it didn't stop him from getting a healthy victory to keep up with the other front runners in the league.

Coach Andre can't catch a break this season. Even though he has a good set of players, he can't seem to get those victories.

There's always next season
