Honor 146 VS Attack 68

33 points from Bhayshul Tuten helps give Team Up Honor the win

Team Up Honor had the best wide receivers coming into this game, and they came through for Coach Andy Lisowski once again. Team Up Honor used sticky hands to power themselves to a 146 to 68 victory over Sack Attack. Ja'Marr Chase and Jaxon Smith-Njigba both scored 23 points, while Matthew Golden contributed 16. JSN's 23 point performance is no surprise, as he is currently the best player in the league.

Team Up Honor also got a better-than-expected performance from Bhayshul Tuten, who beat his projections by 20.6 points. Would-be tacklers were no problem for Bhayshul Tuten on this 39-yard run to paydirt.

Meanwhile, Sack Attack's troubles were largely due to having developed an allergy to the end zone. All their starters combining for only two touchdowns. Sack Attack were practicing their manners as they put every other team ahead of themselves in the TotTDScored category this week. They suffered from five zeros in that category, one of which came from Javonte Williams.

The loss drops Sack Attack's record to 4 – 4, while the win brings Team Up Honor to 6 – 2.

Mudders 123 VS Nothing 88

Tee Higgins leads Mad Mudders in an easy win

The experts predicted this would be a close game. The experts were wrong…big time. Mad Mudders crushed Here Goes Nothing, winning 123 to 88.

With the win, Mad Mudders moved to 5 – 3, good for the top spot in the South division. The loss drops Here Goes Nothing's record to 3 – 5.

Mad Mudders relied heavily on Tee Higgins, who dropped 33 points. That performance was good for 2nd place among all players this week.1

Jayden Daniels has been let go by multiple fantasy squads so far this year, and this week he showed why. Daniels was the worst of five underperformers, notching 16 points.2

Although only one wound up with a victory, both coaches made good decisions this week. Coach Dwight Yarger's lineup decisions earned their team points last week, and did again this week. They started Mike Gesicki instead of Travis Kelce, despite the experts' prediction that Kelce should have played.

This decision gave Mad Mudders a nice 10 point bonus, which just made the final result that much more embarrassing. It also made Coach Yarger the best performing gameday coach this week.

As for Coach Brent Knudson, they followed the experts' advice for each position and ended up with a perfect lineup. This is the first time all year that Coach Knudson has pulled that off.

Predictions:Mudders by 1

Bye week players: Lots of players are lost in this game.   Nothing lose Tyler Shough, CMC & Chris Olave, while the Mudders lose Kendre Miller, Malik Nabers and kicker Fairbairn. 

QBs:??? VS Goff, the Nothing have no QBs on the bench, pickup will be coming, while the  Mudders have Jared against the Vikings.

RBs: Warren & Allen or Hall VS Henry & Cook, who starts at the second RB spot in NY for the Nothing?  James is playing Balitmore at home.

WRs: Watson & Jefferson VS Diggs & Allen, JJ is playing at Detroit while Keenan is at Jacksonville.

Juggernauts 166 VS Dead 76

Joe Burrow's 61 points sinks Not Dead Yet

It's not that hard to win when you get the league's top performance for the season, and Joe Burrow delivered that performance. Joe Burrow led the way as Juggernauts took everything from Not Dead Yet but the kitchen sink this week, winning 166 to 76. Burrow hasn't been messing around recently, performing better than any other starter over the last three weeks. He showed off every skill you want to see from a pocket passer in making this outstanding touchdown throw.

Juggernauts also got the highest score out of any tight end this week courtesy of Brock Bowers, who posted 24 points.

Meanwhile, Not Dead Yet really lost this game as a team. They were brought down by seven underperformers, the worst of whom was Caleb Williams (15 points).2 This is the 2nd time this year that he was the worst starter on his team.

Not Dead Yet also had to deal with a bad performance from Jordan Mason, who scored only 2 points. Coach Patrick O'Dell was no doubt hoping for more from Mason's first venture off the bench. The only real legit performance that Not Dead Yet got came courtesy of Tony Pollard, who scored 31 points.

The win was Juggernauts' 3rd in their last four games, bringing their record to 6 – 2. The defeat puts Not Dead Yet on a three game losing streak, and puts their record at 4 – 4.

Predictions: Juggernauts by 1

Bye week players: CJ Stroud and Isiah Likley are lost for the Dead while the Juggernauts lose Mike Evans.

QBs: .Burrow VS Williams, Joe is playing the Titans at home while Caleb is playing at Seattle.

Yoopers 99 VS Cougars 68

Bucky Irving helps Da Yoopers end their 4 game losing streak

Coach Kyle Kuopus really needed someone to lend him a hand and help end his four game losing streak. Coach Laurie Leboeuf was only too happy to help. Da Yoopers skated by Lady Cougars pretty easily, winning 99 to 68. The win is more of the same for Da Yoopers, who won the last game with Lady Cougars by the score of 120 to 107.

The loss leaves Lady Cougars now with the worst record in the league at 2 – 6. The win brings Da Yoopers to 3 – 5.

Da Yoopers got three solid performances this week, courtesy of Bucky Irving, Trey McBride, and Jonah Coleman, who together produced 55 points. Good performances are nothing new for Irving, who has been the top performer on Da Yoopers more times than any other player. He took a quick stutter step before hitting the hole with authority for this touchdown.

Meanwhile, Lady Cougars suffered from two goose eggs, with Drake London and Keon Coleman failing to contribute anything. Coleman might be heading back to the waiver wire after getting picked up before this game.

Both teams face trouble in the upcoming schedule. Da Yoopers' next game will be against Team Up Honor in a rematch from week four. Da Yoopers ended up getting crushed in the previous matchup by 35 points. Team Up Honor will bring the league's top player so far, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, into the game.

Lady Cougars might really want to have this week's loss to an easy opponent back. The next two games are against winning teams, starting with Mad Mudders next week. Mad Mudders comes into the match on a four game winning streak.

Predictions: Cougars by 1

Bye Week players:  The Yoopers lose Brock Purdy & Alvin Kamara while the Cougars lose kicker Eddie Pineiro.

QBs: Stafford VS Allen, Matthew is playing the Chargrs at home while Josh is playing Baltimore at home.

RBs: Irving & Henderson VS Taylor & Dobbins, I am guessing Henderson will get the start otherwise, the Yoopers could go the waiver wire or Crorkey-Merritt.  The Cougars lose Skattebo but do have Taylor who is at Jacksonville.

WRs: St. Brown & Wilson VS London & Bernard, St. Brown is going up against the Vikings while Drake is playing at Tampa.

Big Dog Sports had two players bring nothing to the table, with Flowers and Jake Ferguson both producing big fat 0's.

Next week, The Dominators will take on the 6 – 2 Juggernauts. Juggernauts have been racking up the points recently, posting two straight 120+ point games. The contest will see some top shelf TE play, as George Kittle meets up with Brock Bowers.
