2018 - Week 11

I don't know if you had the chance to watch the game between the Rams and the Chiefs on Monday night, but it was great. Super exciting. Great football.

But that's enough football for now; it's turkey week!!!

I am... so sorry about this gif

Gordon Freeman vs Taco Tuesdays

WINNER: Gordon Freeman

PROJECTED SCORE: 139.4 - 130.3

FINAL SCORE: 169.5 - 115.4

Star Players:

HL3	Tyreek Hill	WR	KC	43.5 pts from 215 yds; 2 TD; 10/14 REC
HL3	Jared Goff	QB	LAR	35.1 pts from 413 yds passing; 5 TD; 0 INT
TACO	Drew Brees	QB	NO	30.5 pts from 363 yds passing; 4 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:

TACO	Todd Gurley II	RB	LAR	12.4 pts (-14.0 projected) from 94 yds; 0 TD; 12 RUNS

HL3	James Conner	RB	Pit	10.9 pts (-10.2 projected) from 49 yds; 0 TD; 9 RUNS

Coach Nick is preserving his place in the top of the league with another 1st place win. Tyreek Hill got 43.5 points. That... that is a lot of points. He's just chowing down on points.

Despite the fact that the Rams scored 54 points, our good friend Mr. Gurley II couldn't get his share of those sweet digits. He should have eaten more tacos before the game.

Ministry of Silly Walks vs The Good Commish

WINNER: Ministry of Silly Walks

PROJECTED SCORE: 116.1 - 131.0

FINAL SCORE: 153.9 - 143.0

Star Players:

MoSW	Stefon Diggs	WR	Min	31.6 pts from 126 yds; 1 TD; 13/18 REC
GOOD	Mike Evans	WR	TB	30.0 pts from 120 yds; 1 TD; 6/7 REC
MoSW	DJ Moore	WR	Car	28.7 pts from 157 yds; 1 TD; 7/8 REC

GOOD	Ricky Seals-Jones	TE	Ari	1.5 pts (-7.6 projected) from 5 yds; 0 TD; 1/3 REC
GOOD	Adam Thielen	WR	Min	15.6 pts (-6.3 projected) from 66 yds; 0 TD; 7/12 REC

On Friday Coaches Kristin and Skyler had this conversation:

CK: Oh, I have to play you this week.
CS: Don't worry, the football gods know that wives always win in fantasy football.
CK: Haha.
CS: Haha.

I am here to inform you that the football gods know that wives always win in fantasy football. Coach Kristin in the upset!

Mixon's I am not a Crab vs PNW Western WA East Siders

WINNER: Mixon's I am not a Crab

PROJECTED SCORE: 141.9 - 130.1

FINAL SCORE: 130.5 - 114.7

Star Players:

Side	Ezekiel Elliott	RB	Dal	33.1 pts from 201 yds; 1 TD; 23 RUNS
CRAB	Travis Kelce	TE	KC	28.7 pts from 127 yds; 1 TD; 10/15 REC
Side	Julio Jones	WR	Atl	23.8 pts from 118 yds; 1 TD; 6/9 REC

Underachievers:

Side	Carson Wentz	QB	Phi	0.8 pts (-19.5 projected) from 156 yds passing; 0 TD; 3 INT
CRAB	Dion Lewis	FLEX	Ten	4.2 pts (-10.5 projected) from 32 yds; 0 TD; 1/2 REC
Side	Trey Burton	TE	Chi	1.9 pts (-6.7 projected) from 9 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC

Even though Coach Patrick only had one of the star players in the game, his average player did much better than Coach Brandon. Those non-crab Mixon's sure are sustainable.

Fun fact of the week! Both teams in this matchup underplayed their projections. But as Coach Brandon's luck goes, he underperformed more. (How does a QB get less than 1 point?)

Sports and Such vs Hamtown Hamboys

WINNER: Sports and Such

PROJECTED SCORE: 125.8 - 70.1

FINAL SCORE: 123.1 - 61.0

Star Players:

SUCH	Patrick Mahomes	QB	KC	35.9 pts from 478 yds passing; 6 TD; 3 INT
HAM	Davante Adams	WR	GB	26.6 pts from 166 yds; 0 TD; 10/12 REC
HAM	Russell Wilson	QB	Sea	18.6 pts from 225 yds passing; 2 TD; 0 INT

Underachievers:

SUCH	Tarik Cohen	RB	Chi	6.0 pts (-7.8 projected) from 50 yds; 0 TD; 7 RUNS
HAM	Jimmy Graham	TE	GB	2.3 pts (-7.4 projected) from 13 yds; 0 TD; 1/1 REC
HAM	Chris Boswell	K	Pit	2.0 pts (-5.6 projected) from 0/0 field goals; 2/2 XP

I'm just noticing now that a lot of the games this week have a WILD SYMMETRY when it comes to the order of start players and underachievers in each game. Neat!

Patrick Mahomes threw 6 touchdowns! Nice one Coach Brandon!

Coach TJ doesn't care.

Green Bay Mermen vs Seattle Handegg Squad

WINNER: Green Bay Mermen

PROJECTED SCORE: 135.1 - 116.2

FINAL SCORE: 118.2 - 102.8

Star Players:

RISH	Saquon Barkley	FLEX	NYG	35.2 pts from 152 yds; 3 TD; 2/3 REC
EGG	Aaron Jones	RB	GB	27.3 pts from 103 yds; 2 TD; 11 RUNS
RISH	Cam Newton	QB	Car	24.5 pts from 357 yds passing; 3 TD; 1 INT

Underachievers:

RISH	Zach Ertz	TE	Phi	3.5 pts (-15.9 projected) from 15 yds; 0 TD; 2/3 REC
EGG	Dalvin Cook	RB	Min	2.0 pts (-12.1 projected) from 10 yds; 0 TD; 9 RUNS
RISH	Titans D/ST	D/ST	FA	-4.0 pts (-9.5 projected) from 38 PA;

Coach Anna won mostly thanks to Saquon! His performance was better than cranberry sauce that keeps its canned shape. (maybe).

Coach Andre's team struggled again. Maybe he should just feed his players a hearty Thanksgiving meal to power them up!
