FCNPFFL: Week 6 Results

As we near the midway part of the season, (already?!?) owners should be making the proper moves either to bolster their team for a second half run towards making the playoffs or filling the holes of their team to ensure making the playoffs. Just, for the love of God, whatever you do, don't trade away Yoenis Cespedes!! Oh wait, wrong sport...but you know what I mean. I need therapy.

BYE WEEKS FOR WEEK 7: PHILADELPHIA and TAMPA BAY (although you could make the claim that the Bucs already took their week off against the Ravens in Week 6).

Waivers will be ran late Wednesday night as is the norm.

Before I get to the weekly recaps: I am put any WR not named Jordy on the trade block. All I want in return is a TE who is capable of catching a football. He need not have any other life skill other than possible scoring a single point or two on a weekly basis when it comes to fantasy football. If you don't offer to me, believe me when I tell you that 10-13 of you might just receive multiple offers from me this week if I get bored.

Okay onto the games:

Yet another tough game on paper for my squad as Luke and I were projected to score 183 total points and that was with Luke not even having Drew Brees available this week. I certainly did my part as everyone outside my non-existent TE scored in double figures. I led the league in scoring for the week and finished 25 points off the high water mark for a week of 152 points set back in 2012 by...of course Luke. Jay Cutler had 25 and Arian Foster scored 24 to lead the way. Luke got 14 from Austin Davis, but the rout was in full effect before he even stepped on the field.

Final Score: Escaped Lunatics 127 Deathtongue 55

The highest combined score of the week came in the matchup between the other Jason and Ben who put up a whopping 193 total points. Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers squared off as Rodgers got the edge 28-23 for Jasons' side. Each defense fared well, but again Jason got the edge with 25 from the Eagles while Ben settled for 'just' 16 from the 49ers D. Both teams got 15 from their kickers. Ben received 15 from Julius Thomas and 12 from Larry Fitzgerald while Jason got 19 from Steve Smith. Ben saw his lack of RB help hurt again this week with just 4 points and he came up a bit short.

Final Score: Myra's College Fund 104 The Magic Wands 89

We had our third triple digit scoring team of the week come from the game involving Joel and Nate. The Bounchers finally saw a bit of life out of LeSean McCoy who rumbled for 14 points, but it was nowhere near enough to compete this week. Joel got 28 from Philip Rivers, 25 from Matt Forte, 14 from the Titans D and 13 from this still perfect Chandler Catanzaro. Joel moves to 4-2 while Nate drops to 2-4 and got doubled up to boot.

Final Score: Nikachu 106 The Bounchers 53

A pair of 3-2 teams, coached by Matt and John, went to battle in a big swing game in the standings. Last week Matt made a trade to help bolster his team, but it was the free agent pickup of John last week that proved to be the difference this week. Branden Oliver scored 17 points for The Situation and he got 29 from his trio of Eagles on Sunday night to put the game away. Matt got 17 from the Broncos D and 16 from Matt Ryan in a losing effort.

Final Score: The Situation 80 Rainbows & Puppies 64

Two banged up teams met as both Jody and Mike were in dire need of something positive happening for their squads. Mike had the top scoring player of the game as Andrew Luck posted 28 points while Jody had two players combine for 28 with 14 each in Big Ben and Demaryius Thomas. At the RB position, the four active backs combined for just 3 points. Each team did get double digits from their kickers, so there's that.

Final Score: Bookoo Barbarians 65 DoggNutz 50

Despite leaving T.Y. Hilton on the bench, losing Victor Cruz for the season and getting -6 from his defense, Nick B had no troubles dispatching his namesake Nick G. Tom Brady busted out with 38 points, Gio Bernard scampered for 26 and Greg Olsen chipped in with 10 points to bolster The Knacks to their second win of the season. Colin Kaepernick did everything in his power to make the score look respectable with 36 on MNF, but it wasn't enough to offset three players combining for a single point.

Final Score: The Knacks 94 Lollipop Kids 78

The last game of the week was the only one with a semblance of drama heading into MNF. Alex who was sitting at 4-1 took on Adam who was equally as surprising sitting at 1-4. With 37 points from Cam Newton and 19 from Ben Tate, Adam had a decent lead going into Monday. Alex had received 24 from his Lions D, but needed a huge game from Michael Crabree to get back into it. While Crabtree did catch a TD he could only match Phil Dawson who was the final player for Adam of the week.

Final Score: Biggums' ' Basers 76 The Worthless Peons 61

Standings after Week 6:

Week 7 Schedule:

John 4-2 v Alex 4-2 (Game of the Week)
Jason/Ike 4-2 v Adam 2-4
Jason 4-2 v Nick G 1-5
Joel 4-2 v Nick B 2-4
Ben 4-2 v Nate 2-4
Luke 4-2 v Jody 1-5
Matt 3-3 v Mike 3-3

This will be a really telling week for the league. With 7 teams at 4-2 and only one head to head game involving them, this league can begin to separate like a broken meringue or congeal like leftover bacon fat. Either way with 9 teams at 4-2 or 3-3 it appears that every game will matter down the stretch and it is still anyone's league for the taking.
