FCNPFFL: Week 6 Results

Nearly halfway through another regular season and things are now starting to get interesting. Players are dropping like flies, Bye Weeks are in full swing and even the best players look human (Jimmy Graham, 0 catches and an injury). Let the trading begin! Don't be a fool and sit on Randall Cobb only to watch him break his leg and cost you a win. Trade your players! Stupid Jason.

As always there is a THURSDAY game this week between SEATTLE and ARIZONA.

BYE WEEKS FOR WEEK 7: NEW ORLEANS and OAKLAND

Onto the games:

There were two games of note with four of the five best records squaring off. One lived up to the advanced hype while the game between Ben and I was a dud. Sure it was close, but the scoring was much lower than expected. None of our players scored in double figures in the 1pm games which was bad news for me as I still had to face Peyton Manning. That turned out to be a non-issue as Colin Kaepernick outscored Manning 22-17. What kept Ben in the lead was the 24 point performance from Marshawn Lynch. My hopes were resting on Dez Bryant and when he was somehow shutdown by the Redskins, Ben had secured a victory.

Final Score: The Magic Wands 62 Escaped Lunatics 58

Our final undefeated team coached by Nick G went to war in a high scoring affair against Adam.  This game was good and it contained our top scoring team of the week to boot. Fresh off the scrap heap, Nick G added Brandon Jacobs and he rumbled for 22 points. He turned out to be the highest scoring player for Nick G this week. He did get 35 total points from his DeSean Jackson/Jordy Nelson combo as well. Adam was led by Vernon Davis who had a monster 1st half en route to 30 fantasy points. Jamaal Charles continued his solid season with 22 points and Tom Brady pulled a rabbit out of the hat late to score 17 points. Down 20, Nick G looked to be in great shape with both Andrew Luck and Antonio Gates yet to play. Unfortunately they both bombed greatly under the lights of MNF combining for just 11 points and Nick G was dealt his first defeat. Adam walks away with $10 and becomes the first repeat high scorer of the season.

Final Score: Biggums' 'Basers 97 The Lollipop Kids 88

Another great game that wasn't decided until late Monday night saw Luke looking to take a full game lead in the Critter Corner Division against Matt who was looking to creep within a game of first. Each team had good games and flat out disappointments scattered within their lineups.  Matt Stafford won the QB battle for Luke outscoring Joe Flacco 27-23. Matt got 17 from Fitz and 16 from Reggie Bush while Luke got 13 from Gostkowski, 12 from Gio and 10 from Gore. Luke saw Megatron struggle again scoring just a single point, but the was one more point than fellow WR James Jones scored as he left injured. Matt got 1 point from TE Greg Olsen who outscored Torrey Smith who was stuffed this week going scoreless. When the dust settled, Matt trailed by 3 points with Trent Richardson left to play. Easy win?? No of course not. TRich struggled all night and late into the 3rd quarter still had just one fantasy point. Then he got loose on one drive to put together three more points and Matt escaped with a one point win.

Final Score: Rainbows & Puppies 71 Deathtongue 70

Nick B looked to continue his good start to the season (when healthy) as he took on struggling John. Cam Newton lit up the scoreboard for Nick B tallying 37 points which was one more point that John's top two players scored combined. He got 19 from Drew Brees and 17 from Brandon Marshall to keep things close. Nick B had the only other double digit scorer of the game as Phil Dawson kicked in 12 points as Nick B is now in a first place tie in the Critter Corner Division.

Final Score: The Knacks 75 The Situation 60

Poor Mike, how the schedule makers hat him such.  Joel finally put it all together this week, getting out all of his frustrations from the season so far. Aaron Rodgers had 24, Stevan Ridley returned to life with 21, Crosby booted in 15 and Ryan Mathews and Da Bears had 10 each. He came up just a point short of tying Adam for top scoring team of the week. Mike did get 22 from Big Ben and 12 each from LeSean McCoy and Robbie Gould, but fell well short of another high scoring opponent (Mike has given up more than 200 more points than Nick B so far through just 6 weeks!!!).

Final Score: Nikachu 96 Bookoo Barbarians 63

Nate and Alex played each other this week in a game that featured five of the 16 players coming from the horrid Cowboys vs Redskins game. Nate got 25 points and one injury from his two guys while Alex got 32 from his three players. Alex also got 11 from the Steelers D and 10 from Wes Welker, but Nate took over the game behind 19 from Vincent Jackson and 17 from Arian Foster.

Final Score: The Bounchers 81 The Worthless Peons 68

Was this weeks game against Ike rock bottom for Jody this season? He again struggled even with MJD finally scoring and putting up 13 points. He had a trio of 0 point scorers and Philip Rivers was held in check with 15. Ike took full advantage getting 26 from Knowshon Moreno, 18 from Russell Wilson and 12 from AJ Green to overcome the rare -4 defense scoring that the Texans suffered.
