The Fantasy Bowl trophy is going to have a new name on it: Orange County. In what coach Dan Callahan described as a “nailbiter,” the Dudes won their first-ever league championship game 74-72.5 over Dallas. The Dudes also denied the Armadillos on their quest to become the first-ever team to “three-peat” in the Fantasy Bowl.

The 2023 Beach Dudes might be one of the best comeback stories in league history; it’s truly a worst-to-first scenario. In 2022, Orange County had the lowest points of any team.

Third place goes to the Chicago Mud, who defeated top-seeded Miami 63.5-46. The Muffdivers end their playoff run losing back-to-back games for the first time this season. In the other consolation game, the Froglickers capture fifth place with a 71.5-62.5 win over the Blowfish.

With one week remaining in the overall points race, the Mud (1346) are 61.5 points ahead of Miami (1284.5), 66 points ahead of Dallas (1280), and 86.5 points ahead of Frelinghuysen (1259.5). With only 25 points separating teams #2 thru #4, it seems like the remaining drama here is who will win the 2nd-place points prize money.

Coach David Zilberfarb outsmarted the experts to give their team the win over Boxboro Blowfish. That and more in this week’s Around the League report.

You Again?

James Conner and Orange Co. Beach Dudes beat Dallas Armadillos to win Fantasy Bowl XXXII

Losing a close game is tough. Losing a close championship game is brutal. Dallas Armadillos suffered a 74 to 72.5 loss to Orange Co. Beach Dudes. Dallas Armadillos beat Orange Co. Beach Dudes back in week six, so the turnabout this week was fair play.

The win captures the Beach Dude’s first Fantasy Bowl title, and prevents Dallas from a three-peat in the title game.

Dallas Armadillos will finish their season at 9-7. The win makes it five in a row for Orange Co. Beach Dudes, and gives them a record of 11-a5.

James Conner was the key contributor for Orange Co. Beach Dudes, scoring 23.5 points. That’s the most points that he’s scored this year. Conner made some wide receivers jealous with this amazing one-handed touchdown grab.

Meanwhile, there were plenty of chefs cooking up this week’s loss for Dallas Armadillos. Tee Higgins was the worst of a five man group of underperformers, tallying only 0.5 points. That was quite a falloff from last week, when he scored 19.5 points.

I Got This

Justin Fields calls his own number to earn a win

Miami Muffdivers had the best record in the league coming into this game, but unfortunately for Coach Pat landy, the past was not prelude. Miami Muffdivers could not make it much of a game, losing to Chicago Mud 63.5 to 46.

With the loss, Miami Muffdivers will close the season at 11-4. The win brings Chicago Mud to 10-5.

They were led by the trio of Justin Fields, Jonathan Taylor, and David Montgomery, who combined for 69% of their team’s points.

Meanwhile, Miami Muffdivers were having trouble reaching paydirt, getting into the end zone only one time. No other team scored fewer TDs this week.

A perfect lineup would have given Coach Landy a win in this one. He left Geno Smith and Tyler Boyd on the bench in favor of Jared Goff and Odell Beckham Jr., who were both expected to score less.

These decisions cost Miami Muffdivers a total of 3.5 points. If Coach Landy had left Goff and OBJ on the bench and also started Juwan Johnson, Miami Muffdivers would have won the game.

Brainiac at Work

Great coaching decisions and Lamar Jackson’s performance pay off for Frelinghuysen Froglickers

Coach David Zilberfarb felt that they knew their team better than the projection experts, and they were right. They started Dallas Goedert instead of Cole Kmet, despite the experts’ prediction that Kmet should have played.

This great decision gave Frelinghuysen Froglickers a nice 9.5 point bonus and was the difference in the game, as they wound up with a solid victory against Boxboro Blowfish (7-7-1), winning 71.5 to 62.5.

Frelinghuysen Froglickers relied heavily on Lamar Jackson, who racked up 29 points. No other quarterback scored more points than that this week. He all but sealed up the MVP with a dominant five-touchdown performance to beat the Dolphins.

Boxboro Blowfish had never won when Chuba Hubbard failed to hit his expected points, and that held true again this week. Hubbard was one of three big underperformers, combining with Lucas Havrisik and Saquon Barkley to record 8.5 points. That makes it four straight games where Hubbard has underperformed the league average running back.

Our number one and two seeds lost in the semifinals, setting up a Fantasy Bowl where we’ll have a historic first regardless of the outcome. Dallas is looking for the first three-peat in league history, and Orange County is hoping to capture the franchise’s first Fantasy Bowl championship.

The Beach Dudes knocked off top-seeded Miami 66-52.5. Half the Muffdiver’s roster badly underperformed expectations. The Dudes also were short of their projections, but they advance. It’s Orange County’s first-ever berth in the Fantasy Bowl.

The other semifinal game was exactly the opposite: both teams overperformed. Dallas upset second-seeded Chicago 95.5-88.5. The Armadillos trailed the Mud until the second half of the Monday night, but AJ Brown pushed them over the finish line for the win. The Mud can’t help wondering if the outcome would have been different without the early-game injury to Courtland Sutton.

James Conner and Orange Co. Beach Dudes make it four in a row against Miami Muffdivers

Miami Muffdivers finished the regular season #1. Unfortunately, that didn’t count for much this week. They got beat by Orange Co. Beach Dudes, 66 to 52.5. Miami Muffdivers blew out Orange Co. Beach Dudes back in week five, so the turnabout this week was fair play.

The loss brings the season to an end for Miami Muffdivers, who finishes at 11 – 3. With the win, Orange Co. Beach Dudes continues their four-game streak of success, giving them a record of 10 – 5.

Orange Co. Beach Dudes put forth a decent effort Sunday. James Conner led the charge, scoring 14.5 points. That gave him the most points on Orange Co. Beach Dudes for the first time this season.

Meanwhile, Coach Pat landy’s squad was taking a collective personal day. They had five slightly underperforming players, with Jaylen Warren (2.5 points) being the worst. Bad performances are pretty common these days for Warren, who has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in five straight games.

Miami Muffdivers also had to deal with a poor effort from James Cook (5.2 points below expected).

Things were not looking good for Miami Muffdivers heading into Monday night. Coach Landy needed Christian McCaffrey and Odell Beckham Jr. to outscore Deebo Samuel and D’Andre Swift by 15.5 points.

Samuel and Swift did pretty good, scoring 16 points, but that left the door ever so slightly open. Run CMC and OBJ gave a decent effort, but their 18 points weren’t nearly enough.

Puka Nacua (23.5 points) leads Dallas Armadillos to a win over Chicago Mud

Coming into the game, Chicago Mud had scored the second most points of any team over the last three weeks. They got plenty of points again this week, but no win. Coach Ronnie Feldman’s squad just didn’t have enough against Dallas Armadillos, losing 95.5 to 88.5. Chicago Mud blew out Dallas Armadillos back in week thirteen, so the reversal of fortune this week seems fair.

Chicago Mud ends their 2023 campaign with a 9 – 5 mark. The win brings Dallas Armadillos to 9 – 6.

Dallas Armadillos have been relying on CeeDee Lamb all year, and he came through again this week. Lamb was part of a three-man-team, joining with Puka Nacua and Tee Higgins to total 60 points. Lamb’s performance late on Sunday took him from the 6th best player to the 5th best player in the league. He managed to excel against the Dolphins despite dealing with some novel forms of pass defense.

Meanwhile, two players stood out for their poor performance on Chicago Mud, with Courtland Sutton and Alvin Kamara combining to score only 2.5 points. Unfortunately, more bad performances might be on tap for Kamara, who has seen his point total drop in each of the last three weeks. His performances have closely tracked the fortunes of Chicago Mud this season, as they have gone 1 – 3 when he fails to meet his expectations, and 5 – 1 when he meets them.

Top-seeded Miami has chosen to play Orange County in the Fantasy Bowl semi-finals, setting our matchups for this week:

#1 Miami (11-2) vs. #4 Orange County (9-5)
#2 Chicago (9-4) vs. #3 Dallas (8-6)

The wild card round losers — Froglickers (8-6) and Blowfish (7-6-1) — have byes this week and will face each other Week 17 to determine 5th/6th place during championship week.

In the overall points race with three weeks remaining, the Mud (1194) leads the Muffdivers (1186) by a mere 8 points. Dallas (1112) is 82 points back, followed by the Froglickers (1094 – 100 points behind) and the Beach Dudes (1083.5 – 110.5 points behind).

It was a nail-biter for the Orange County Beach Dudes, but a couple key catches in the final drive of the Monday Night Football game by WR D.K. Metcalf propelled the Dudes to a come-from-behind win over the Froglickers, 80.5-75.5.

In the other Wild Card game, the two-time defending champion Dallas Armadillos dispatched the Blowfish 70-52.5.

Top-seeded Miami will now choose their opponent for the semi-final round: Dallas or Orange County.

Second-seed Chicago will play the remaining team in the semi-finals.

Week 15 Scores:

Orange County (9-5) 80.5, Frelinghuysen (8-6) 75.5
Dallas Armadillos (8-6) 70, Boxboro Blowfish (7-6-1) 52.5

Miami (11-2) 105.5 – week 15 bye
Chicago (9-4) 51 – week 15 bye

Non-playoff teams:

Connecticut 91.5
Keystone 77
Oregon 75.5
Mercer 55.5
New Chester 49.5

Bulls-eye!

Perfect lineup and Jaylen Waddle’s performance give Orange Co. Beach Dudes the win

The experts just can’t seem to give Orange Co. Beach Dudes enough credit. They had topped their point total projections for four straight weeks before this game, and did it again this week. Orange Co. Beach Dudes slid by Frelinghuysen Froglickers, winning 80.5 to 75.5. The win helped Orange Co. Beach Dudes halt Frelinghuysen Froglickers’ three game winning streak.

Orange Co. Beach Dudes have now won three games in a row, which brings their record to 9 – 5. Frelinghuysen Froglickers will finish their season at 8 – 6.

Jaylen Waddle was the clear leader on Orange Co. Beach Dudes this week, putting up 21 points. Waddle set his high mark for the season with that effort. A big chunk of his 142 receiving yards came from this impressive 60-yard touchdown.

Meanwhile, it will be difficult for Coach David Zilberfarb to fault any one player for the loss. Frelinghuysen Froglickers were brought down by four underperformers, the worst of whom was Derrick Henry (2 points). King Henry’s performance this week ended a three game streak of beating the experts’ projections. His performances have been a good barometer for Frelinghuysen Froglickers this season, as they have gone 2 – 4 when he fails to meet his expectations, and 6 – 1 when he meets them.

Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler added a perfect lineup to their win, which involved more than just going chalk. They went with Zay Jones over the higher ranked Tyler Lockett.

This decision boosted Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ final score by 3 points. Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler’s perfect lineup was the only one set this week.

Baby Step

Tee Higgins’ 17 points stops the bleeding for Dallas Armadillos

Dallas Armadillos get to go home happy for the first time in six weeks. They got past Boxboro Blowfish without much trouble, winning 70 to 52.5. Dallas Armadillos got some measure of revenge on Boxboro Blowfish for their matchup back in week fourteen, when Dallas Armadillos lost 78.5 to 59.5.

With the loss, Boxboro Blowfish will close the season at 7 – 6. The win brings Dallas Armadillos to 8 – 6.

When Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain entertained thoughts of winning this game, they probably didn’t include the two players that ended up leading the way. Tee Higgins scored 17 points, and Zamir White was close behind with 12.5. Higgins’ performance paced Dallas Armadillos for the 2nd time this year.

Meanwhile, Dak Prescott hadn’t dropped the ball for Boxboro Blowfish since week five’s stinker. Well, that run has come to an end. Dak was the worst of six underperformers, racking up zero points. He is in the midst of a troubling sequence, having seen his point total fall every week for the last three weeks. He didn’t toss a touchdown on Sunday, the first time since Week 6 in which the MVP candidate has failed to throw for multiple scores.

The outcome of this one would have been different if Coach Doug Weaver had gotten all of their lineup picks right. Perhaps scared off by Jalen Hurts’s 2 point performance last week, Coach Weaver left him on the bench in favor of Prescott, despite the experts’ prediction that Hurts should have played.

This decision took a 16 point chunk out of Boxboro Blowfish’s final score. If Coach Weaver had left Prescott on the bench and also started Devin Singletary, Boxboro Blowfish would have won the game.

Connecticut Wildcats won their 4th in a row, while Keystone Longfellows took yet another hit to the loss column. That plus a very lucky win for Mercer Mustangs in this week’s report.

I Like Those Odds

Frelinghuysen Froglickers uses their running backs to show their strength

This was expected to be a blowout, and Frelinghuysen Froglickers (8 – 5) didn’t disappoint. They left tire tracks on New Chester Thorobreds (3 – 10)’ back, winning 80.5 to 36.5.

The game leaves both these teams streaking in opposite directions. The victory makes it three in a row for Frelinghuysen Froglickers. The loss is the 6th straight for New Chester Thorobreds.

Frelinghuysen Froglickers came in with the 3rd best performing running backs. New Chester Thorobreds came in with the worst. The results were unsurprising. Frelinghuysen Froglickers had two different players in the running back group come through, with Raheem Mostert scoring 20.5 points to pace their efforts. That was the most that any running back collected this week.

New Chester Thorobreds had two different players in the running back group come up short, none of whom were worse than Khalil Herbert, who scored zero points. Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic have to be used to bad scores from Herbert, who has been the worst performer on New Chester Thorobreds more times than any other player.

The other players on Frelinghuysen Froglickers kept up with the running backs, coming up with 46.5 points. Of that crew, Lamar Jackson led the way with 24 points. Jackson had no problem making huge plays when it mattered most (even on 3rd and 17).

Better Lucky than Good

Mercer Mustangs and Garrett Wilson get a gift win from Happy Valley Violence

After last week’s blowout, Mercer Mustangs got a big change of pace with this week’s tight contest versus Happy Valley Violence. The result, happily, was the same. They just edged by Happy Valley Violence, winning 43.5 to 42. Big time luck for Mercer Mustangs in this contest, as they would have lost against all but one other team.

The win gets Mercer Mustangs back above .500 at 7 – 6. The loss drops Happy Valley Violence’s record to 4 – 9.

Mercer Mustangs relied heavily on Garrett Wilson, who posted 11.5 points. This is the 2nd time this year that Wilson has paced Mercer Mustangs.

Happy Valley Violence had never won when C.J. Stroud failed to hit his expected points, and that held true again this week. Stroud was the main culprit in Happy Valley Violence’s loss, scoring no points. He posted season lows in passer rating (54.8), yards per attempt (4) and completion percentage (43.5) before exiting the game in the fourth quarter following a head injury.

Predict This!

Desmond Ridder and Philadelphia Griffins flip the script against Chicago Mud this week

This was expected to be a blowout and it was. The surprise was who blew out who. Philadelphia Griffins destroyed Chicago Mud, winning 83 to 58.5. With the win, Philadelphia Griffins put an end to Chicago Mud’s four-game win streak.

The win brings Philadelphia Griffins’ record to 6 – 7, while dropping Chicago Mud to 9 – 4.

Philadelphia Griffins were a picture of symmetry, winning with a very balanced lineup. Desmond Ridder topped the quarterback average by 7.6 points to lead the team, while De’Von Achane fell only 3.4 points short of the average RB in bringing up the rear. Ridder’s 19 point performance made him the top performer on Philadelphia Griffins for the first time this year.

Mike Evans has been clutch for Chicago Mud this year, but failed to show up this week. Evans was the worst of five underperformers, producing 0.5 points. His performance this week broke his four game streak of surpassing his projections. His performance on Sunday was easily his worst of the season, with lows in both receptions (1) and receiving yards (8).

Star of the Show

Evan Engram scores 23.5 points to help put away Dallas Armadillos

Dallas Armadillos came into this week on a four game losing streak, and went ahead and signed up for more punishment. They couldn’t stay with Boxboro Blowfish, losing 78.5 to 59.5. Dallas Armadillos have now failed to top their projections in any of the past four weeks.

The win was Boxboro Blowfish’s 3rd in their last four games, bringing their record to 7 – 5 – 1. The loss drops Dallas Armadillos’ record to 7 – 6.

Evan Engram separated himself from the rest of the crew on Boxboro Blowfish, recording 23.5 points. That topped all but one tight end this season. He stepped into the hole left by Christian Kirk and delivered 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain will find no easy scapegoat for this week’s loss. Dallas Armadillos were brought down by five underperformers, the worst of whom was Gus Edwards (zero points). Edwards has now been the worst starter on his team three times this season.

Dialed In

Keystone Longfellows couldn’t handle James Cook as Miami Muffdivers gets the win

It wasn’t anything to write home about, but Miami Muffdivers got the victory against Keystone Longfellows, winning 53 to 48. The loss makes it twelve in a row for Keystone Longfellows, and puts their record at 1 – 12. The win brings Miami Muffdivers to 11 – 2.

Miami Muffdivers had never lost when James Cook overperformed his expectations, and that held true again this week. Cook joined up with Christian McCaffrey to score 58% of Miami Muffdivers’ points. Cook scored 17.5 points, which is the most he’s gotten this year. It’s hard to say what’s more impressive: his perfect touchdown catch or the front flip into the endzone.

Meanwhile, there’s no pointing fingers in Keystone Longfellows’ loss as they failed all over the place. Jameson Williams was the worst of a six man group of underperformers, racking up zero points. That was the fewest of any wide receiver this week, and marks the 7th straight game that he has failed to surpass the league average wide receiver.

On the coaching front, both sides made mistakes this week. Although his team won, Coach Pat landy didn’t have the best game personally. He went with Tyler Boyd over the higher ranked Odell Beckham Jr..

This terrible decision cost Miami Muffdivers a total of 13 points. Coach Landy’s lineup moves pushed him into negative territory for the season, costing his team 10 points versus what the experts would have done.

Coach Terry Muth’s lineup moves played a huge part in Keystone Longfellows’ loss. They started Jameson Williams instead of Kyle Pitts, despite the experts’ prediction that Pitts should have played.

This terrible decision shaved 9.5 points from Keystone Longfellows’ score, which cost them the game. Coach Muth have now cost their team points in both of the last two weeks.

No Chance

Huge blowout for Connecticut Wildcats as Cooper Kupp scores 18 points

This week featured three blowouts, but this one was the biggest. Connecticut Wildcats left Big Oregon Bang in ruins, winning 96.5 to 50. Connecticut Wildcats set their new high mark for the season with those 96.5 points.

The win brings Connecticut Wildcats’ winning streak to four games, bringing their record to 7 – 6. The loss drops Big Oregon Bang back below .500 at 6 – 7.

Cooper Kupp had been fairly quiet since week six’s performance, but finally awoke from his slumber this week. Although Connecticut Wildcats got a nice group performance in the win, Kupp was the best of the bunch, delivering 18 points.

This week’s loss for Big Oregon Bang was a true group effort. They had five underperformers, with Tua Tagovailoa (3 points) being the worst. That’s the fewest points that he’s scored this year.

^Wild Card

Two teams entered the final weekend of the regular season with “win and they’re in” scenarios and, in the end, they took care of business and we didn’t need to use a single tiebreaker.

The Froglickers (8-5) easily dispatched the Thorobreds 80.5-36.5. The Blowfish (7-5-1) were underdogs coming into the Monday night game, but a combined 38 points from Saquon Barkley and D’Andre Hopkins propelled the Blowfish to a comeback win over Dallas 78.5-59.5.

Mercer (7-6) and Connecticut (7-6) both staged dramatic turnarounds to their seasons and end with winning records but miss the playoffs. The Wildcats won 7 of their last 9 games after an 0-4 start. The Mustangs won 5 of their last 6 games after a 2-5 start to the season.

Playoff Schedule – Week 15

#1 Miami (11-2) – BYE
#2 Chicago (9-4) – BYE

#3 Dallas (7-6) vs. #6 Boxboro (7-5-1)
#4 Orange County (8-5) vs. #5 Frelinghuysen (8-5)

Four of our six playoff spots have been clinched as we enter the final week of the regular season. Two playoff slots remain, and an unprecendented FIVE teams are still in the running for those two slots.

Miami (10-2) is in – the Muffdivers clinched the Cappelletti Division last week and despite a loss this week, they hold the #1 seed.

Chicago (9-3) is in – the Mud clinched the Engle Division this week and will hold the #2 seed.

Dallas (7-5) is in – the Armadillos clinched the Paterno Division this week despite a loss.

Orange County (8-5) is in – the Dudes have clinched a wild card berth.

Frelinghuysen and Boxboro control their own fate. For the Blowfish (6-5-1) it’s clear-cut — win and they’re in, lose and they’re out. The Froglickers (7-5) are in with a win. A loss would drop to them to 7-6 and into tiebreaker scenarios.

Connecticut, Oregon, and Mercer are all 6-6 and have a chance to make the playoffs, but they need to win plus they need other things to happen.

So for the final two playoff spots we have the following scenarios:

Scenario One: FFL and BOX both win this week – both are in.

Scenario Two: FFL wins and BOX loses:
(FFL is in and one playoff spot remains):
A) The Wildcats are in with a win.
B) The Big Bang are in with a win and a MER loss.
C) The Mustangs are in with a win and a CTW loss.

Scenario Three: FFL loses and BOX wins:
(BOX is in and one playoff spot remains)
–OR–
Scenario Four: FFL loses and BOX loses:
(BOX is eliminated and two playoff spots remain)

Under scenarios three and four, tiebreakers will apply.

If two teams are 7-6 the tiebreaker is head-to-head (rule 4.3.1):
A) FFL beat both CTW and BOB, but lost to MER.
B) MER beat both FFL and BOB, but lost to CTW.
C) CTW beat MER, lost to FFL, plays BOB this week.
D) BOB lost to both MER and FFL, plays CTW this week.

If three teams are 7-6 and are not all in the same division (rules 4.3.2 and 4.4) tiebreakers are applied first to teams within the same division, and then applied across other divisions. In this scenario these tiebreakers would be:
A) If FFL, MER, and CTW are all 7-6, CTW would win the first tiebreaker; MER would win the second tiebreaker.
B) If FFL, MER, and BOB are all 7-6, MER would win the first tiebreaker, and FFL would win the second tiebreaker.

Chicago Mud won their 4th in a row, while Keystone Longfellows took yet another hit to the loss column. Meanwhile, Coach David Zilberfarb were winning by setting a perfect lineup. Read all about it in this week’s report.

Bulls-eye!

Perfect lineup and Ja’Marr Chase’s performance give Frelinghuysen Froglickers the win

Frelinghuysen Froglickers came into the game as the biggest favorite this week and proceeded to make the experts look good. They ended up well ahead of Keystone Longfellows, winning 79.5 to 62.

The defeat is the 11th in a row for Keystone Longfellows, dropping their record to 1 – 11. The win brings Frelinghuysen Froglickers to 7 – 5.

Frelinghuysen Froglickers got more than half their points from just two players: Ja’Marr Chase and Derrick Henry. A good performance by Henry has been crucial for Frelinghuysen Froglickers all year, as they have gone 5 – 1 when he exceeds expectations, and 2 – 3 when he doesn’t. Despite leaving Sunday’s matchup with a suspected concussion (he was later cleared), he racked up 102 rushing yards and a pair of rushing scores.

Meanwhile, Emari Demercado and Austin Ekeler were double trouble for Keystone Longfellows, together tallying only 1 point. Underperforming is the new normal for Ekeler, who has gone three straight games without hitting his projected point total. Unfortunately, more bad performances might be on tap for Ekeler, who has seen his point total drop in each of the last four weeks.

Coach David Zilberfarb did their part in the victory, setting a perfect lineup. That took more than just following the experts’ advice. They started Evan McPherson instead of Jason Myers, despite the experts’ prediction that Myers should have played.

This decision netted Coach Zilberfarb an extra 9 points. This is the first time this year that Coach Zilberfarb has set a perfect lineup (slow clap).

I’m Kind of a Big Deal

DK Metcalf and Orange Co. Beach Dudes set the league’s top point mark

Orange Co. Beach Dudes made sure that they didn’t become the 5th straight team to lose to Big Oregon Bang. Orange Co. Beach Dudes completely dismantled Big Oregon Bang, winning 146 to 88. Besides the victory, Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler can brag that they posted the highest score in the league so far.

The win brings Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ record to 8 – 5, while dropping Big Oregon Bang to 6 – 6.

Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler didn’t rely on their All-Stars to pull this one out, instead getting contributions from unexpected quarters. DK Metcalf scored 31 points, Deebo Samuel came up with 28, and James Conner finished with 21. Conner’s performance this week stopped his three game streak of not meeting his projections. Sunday’s contest was a revenge game for him against his former team (as this stiff arm clearly shows).

Big Oregon Bang suffered through poor performances from Jahmyr Gibbs, Romeo Doubs, and Brandon McManus, who collectively scored only 16.5 points. Big Oregon Bang has never won when McManus failed to hit his expected points, going 0 – 3.

On the coaching front, Coach Wayne rupert wound up with a perfect lineup this week, albeit by following the CBSSports projections to the letter. He has now set more perfect lineups than any other coach in the league.

They Shall Not Pass

Chuba Hubbard and Boxboro Blowfish deny pat landy a 5th straight win

This game was expected to be close. Boxboro Blowfish found those expectations insulting. They gave Miami Muffdivers a 86.5 to 44 drubbing. That win stopped Miami Muffdivers’ winning streak at four games.

The win gets Boxboro Blowfish back above .500 at 6 – 5 – 1. The loss drops Miami Muffdivers’ record to 10 – 2.

Chuba Hubbard and Evan Engram were the prime movers for Boxboro Blowfish, totaling 20 and 15.5 points, respectively. Hubbard’s 20 point performance made him the top performer on Boxboro Blowfish for the first time this year. He was dynamite in the red-zone, punching in 1-yard touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters.

Meanwhile, Miami Muffdivers had plenty of duds in the loss. They were brought down by seven underperformers, the worst of whom was Tyler Boyd (1.5 points).1 It’s yet another disappointing day for Boyd, who has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in three straight games.

Boxboro Blowfish will face off against Dallas Armadillos next week. Boxboro Blowfish might be feeling pretty confident about that game, as Dallas Armadillos limps in on a four game losing streak. Meanwhile, Miami Muffdivers will be playing Keystone Longfellows.

Taking the Reins

Mercer Mustangs gets a big effort from Isiah Pacheco this week

After losing four straight games, Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic’s squad figured: ‘Why not another?’ New Chester Thorobreds were on the losing side of a blowout, falling 66 to 42 at the hands of Mercer Mustangs. That point total sent New Chester Thorobreds to the bottom of the points standings for the season.

With the win, Mercer Mustangs have now won four out of their last five games, bringing their record to 6 – 6. The loss drops New Chester Thorobreds’ record to 3 – 9.

Mercer Mustangs were led by the tag team of Isiah Pacheco and Jake Ferguson, who together posted 29.5 points. It’s just another day at the office for Pacheco, who has led Mercer Mustangs more times than any other player.

New Chester Thorobreds, meanwhile, were having a terrible time moving the ball down the field, with the whole team gaining only 232 yards. That was the lowest yards gained total of any team this week.

Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic’s gameday decisions have been some of the worst in the league this season, and this week they showed why. They left Zach Charbonnet and his 6.5 expected points on the bench, favoring Rico Dowdle (2.4 points expected).

This terrible decision took a 10 point chunk out of New Chester Thorobreds’ final score, which ultimately didn’t make a difference in the final outcome. It did make it back-to-back weeks now where Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic have cost their team points.

Winning Ways

Joe Mixon and Connecticut Wildcats beat Happy Valley Violence for their 3rd win in a row

Joe Mixon did about as good for Connecticut Wildcats this week as he did bad last week. Connecticut Wildcats strolled past Happy Valley Violence, winning 59.5 to 41 behind 21 points from Mixon. That’s the most points that he’s scored this year. Mixon scored both of Cincinnati’s first-half touchdowns, racking up season highs in receptions (seven) and receiving yards (49) in the process.

There were five underperformers keeping Connecticut Wildcats from a proper victory, with Justin Herbert (3 points) being the worst of them. Herbert failed to score a touchdown on Sunday, but it turns out when you’re playing the Pats, you don’t need to.

Meanwhile, Happy Valley Violence really lost this game as a team. Terry McLaurin was the worst of a six man group of underperformers, recording zero points. This is the 3rd time this year that he was the worst starter on his team.

Adam Thielen falling 7.2 points short of his expectations didn’t help matters much either. Thielen has now underperformed the league average wide receiver in six straight games. Happy Valley Violence only had one player who gave a passable performance this week, with Tony Pollard scoring 12.5 points.

The win makes it three in a row for Connecticut Wildcats, and gives them a record of 6 – 6. The loss drops Happy Valley Violence’s record to 4 – 8.

Not Even Close

Tyreek Hill led the charge for Chicago Mud in a one sided affair

Last year’s playoff loss at the hands of Dallas Armadillos might still be ringing in Coach Ronnie Feldman’s ears, but he got some measure of revenge this week. Chicago Mud beat Dallas Armadillos Like a drum, winning 125 to 67. That 58 point gap represents the biggest victory margin of the season.

That’s four straight wins for Chicago Mud, for those of you counting, which gives them a 9 – 3 record. This loss brings Dallas Armadillos’ losing streak to four in a row, which leaves them with a 7 – 5 record.

Chicago Mud had a three-man strike force with Tyreek Hill, Mike Evans, and Alvin Kamara combining for 69 points. The Cheetah hasn’t been messing around recently, performing better than any other starter over the last three weeks. He posted 157 receiving yards on Sunday, most of which came from his two touchdowns: one from 78 yards out, the other from 60.

Meanwhile, Dallas Armadillos saw five different players underperform, and while none of them particularly stuck out, Marquise Brown and his zero points was officially the worst. Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain have to be used to bad scores from Brown, who has been the worst performer on Dallas Armadillos more times than any other player. He left Sunday’s game in the third quarter with an ankle injury after failing to bring in all three of his targets.

Next week, Chicago Mud will be playing Philadelphia Griffins. As for Dallas Armadillos, they will square off against Boxboro Blowfish.

Bye: PHI 62.5

by CBS Fantasy Football AI

Big Oregon Bang won their 4th in a row, while Keystone Longfellows took yet another hit to the loss column. That and more in this week’s Around the League report.

Class in Session

Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak and C.J. Stroud deliver victory to Happy Valley Violence

The week was a successful one for Happy Valley Violence, and nobody deserves more credit than Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak. They left Joshua Dobbs and his 14.4 expected points on the bench, favoring C.J. Stroud (10.9 points expected).

This great decision boosted Happy Valley Violence’s final score by 22 points and was the difference in the game, as they had just enough against Philadelphia Griffins (5 – 7), winning 78 to 72.

Happy Valley Violence won with a balanced effort, as four players outperformed their positional averages. Stroud was just a bit ahead of the others, racking up 24 points. After Stroud’s performance this week, he moved up to being the 3rd best quarterback in the league. He beat Justin Herbert’s record for the most passing yards in a player’s first 11 career games thanks to his 304-yard performance on Sunday (he’s up to 3,266 on the season).

Meanwhile, Desmond Ridder loomed large in the loss for Philadelphia Griffins, recording 4 points. That performance was worse than every other player this week.

Back on Track

Raheem Mostert helps Frelinghuysen Froglickers end their four game losing streak

Dallas Armadillos (7 – 4) point total had gotten lower and lower for each of the past three weeks. They broke that streak this week, but it didn’t matter. Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain’s team lost to Frelinghuysen Froglickers (6 – 5), 80.5 to 70. Dallas Armadillos have averaged 57.8 points during their last two games – not what was expected of them as the 2nd highest scoring team going into week eleven.

The game ended one losing steak and started a new one. The win brought Frelinghuysen Froglickers’ four game losing streak to an end. The loss makes it three in a row for Dallas Armadillos.

After coming up with all of 3 points last week, Derrick Henry came up clutch this week. King Henry teamed up with Raheem Mostert to tally 37.5 points. Despite some worries about his availability before the game, Henry still accounted for both of Tennessee’s touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain can look to Gus Edwards and Puka Nacua when passing out blame for the loss. The two combined to score only 3.5 points. Edwards’ performance this week broke his five game streak of surpassing his projections.

These teams will see a difference in the quality of their upcoming opponents. Dallas Armadillos will be going against Chicago Mud next week. Bad timing for Dallas Armadillos, as Chicago Mud will come into the matchup on a three game winning streak. Adding to the difficulty, Dallas Armadillos will have to play without Mark Andrews, who has a bye week.

Meanwhile, Frelinghuysen Froglickers will be playing Keystone Longfellows next week. Frelinghuysen Froglickers will get to face Keystone Longfellows while that squad is in the middle of a ten game losing streak.

Leading the Charge

Nico Collins put Orange Co. Beach Dudes on his back for the win

Orange Co. Beach Dudes didn’t have too much trouble with Keystone Longfellows this week, winning 85.5 to 68. Another defeat makes it ten in a row for Keystone Longfellows, putting their record at 1 – 10. The win brings Orange Co. Beach Dudes to 7 – 5.

Two of the key players in this fight were real-life teammates, as Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ D’Andre Swift squared off against DeVonta Smith. While they were on the same team, they sure didn’t deliver the same result. D’Andre Swift disappointed with a comparatively paltry 6.5 points for Orange Co. Beach Dudes. That’s the 3rd worst game that Swift has produced this year.

Meanwhile DeVonta Smith kept pace with a 16.5 point effort for Coach Terry Muth. That makes it four straight games of overperforming expectations for Smith.

With Swift failing to come through, it was up to the rest of the boys on Orange Co. Beach Dudes. They answered the call, scoring 79 points. That group was led by Nico Collins, who scored 16.5 points. A good performance by Collins has been critical for Orange Co. Beach Dudes this season, as they have gone 4 – 1 when he exceeds his expectations, and 2 – 3 when he doesn’t.

Don’t Count Me Out

Kyren Williams and Big Oregon Bang beat the odds to get the win

Big Oregon Bang didn’t have too many spare points in their win against Boxboro Blowfish, taking this one 73.5 to 66.5. With the win, Big Oregon Bang continues their four-game streak of success, which brings their record to 6 – 5. The loss was Boxboro Blowfish’s 3rd in their last four games, bringing their record to 5 – 5 – 1.

Big Oregon Bang stumbled big time right from the get-go. The tag team of Tua Tagovailoa and Romeo Doubs was good for all of 6.5 points between them. New York’s defense got the best of Tagovailoa, who tossed one TD but allowed three turnovers (including this ugly pick-six).

Meanwhile, Boxboro Blowfish were also doing ok. They were powered by Dak Prescott, who scored 26 points. Prescott tossed four touchdowns on Sunday, including this 34-yard missile in the fourth quarter.

Going into late Sunday, our projections gave Big Oregon Bang only a 9.8% chance of winning. Kyren Williams had other ideas. Williams scored 20.3 points more than he was expected to, which was enough to bring Big Oregon Bang back from the dead and into the winner’s circle.

No Threat

Mike Evans helps Chicago Mud cruise to victory

The experts had Chicago Mud winning this one easy. The experts were all kinds of right. In the only blowout this week, Chicago Mud crushed New Chester Thorobreds, winning 92 to 43.5. With those 92 points, Chicago Mud had the most points in the league for the 3rd straight week.

Chicago Mud have now finished off three straight opponents after this win, giving them a record of 8 – 3. The loss drops New Chester Thorobreds to 3 – 8, and sinks them to the bottom of our internal power rankings.

Tyreek Hill has been coming through for Chicago Mud all year, and this week was no different. The Cheetah joined up with Mike Evans and Jonathan Taylor to total 55.5 points. No surprise there, as Hill is currently the best player in the league. He posted 102 receiving yards (and this touchdown) on Sunday, marking the seventh time in 11 games he’s broken the century mark.

Meanwhile, New Chester Thorobreds were having trouble reaching paydirt, getting into the end zone only one time. That was the lowest TDs total of any team this week.

Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic’s lineup wasn’t any better than their players this week. They went with Brock Purdy over the higher ranked Josh Allen.

This decision cost New Chester Thorobreds a total of 28 points. After their decisions this week, Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic have now cost their team points for the season (25 points worse than the experts).

That’s All Folks

Mercer Mustangs’ run ends with a loss to Christian McCaffrey and Miami Muffdivers

Miami Muffdivers came into this match-up riding high on a three game winning streak. Make it four. They made it past Mercer Mustangs, winning 85.5 to 79.5. Miami Muffdivers’ win ended Mercer Mustangs’ three game winning streak.

The win brings Miami Muffdivers to 10 – 1, and sends them to the top of our internal power rankings. The loss drops Mercer Mustangs back below .500 at 5 – 6.

Christian McCaffrey made it rain for Miami Muffdivers, putting up 23.5 points. That’s all in a day’s work for the 2nd best player in the league. Impossible plays like this led him to 114 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Jake Ferguson was clearly the weakest link for Coach Jim Waugh and the gang as he recorded 0.5 points. Ferguson is in the midst of a troubling sequence, having seen his point total fall every week for the last three weeks.

Although he lost this week, Coach Waugh had a good game on the sidelines. He started Curtis Samuel instead of Rashid Shaheed, despite the experts’ prediction that Shaheed should have played.

This decision gave Mercer Mustangs a nice 10.5 point bonus. Coach Waugh’s lineup moves this week also allowed him to move into positive territory for the year, giving his team 7 points more than the experts would have.

Bye: CTW 53.5 points

We’ve got lots of football over the next 5 days PLUS it’s the trade deadline, so let’s look at where things stand.

TRADE DEADLINE: Kickoff this week is the trade deadline. If you’re going to trade any player, you must do so before that player’s game begins this week. There are 3 Thursday games, a Friday game, several Sunday games and a Monday game this weekend. Plan accordingly – text any trades, questions, etc., to Ron.

PROTECTION CUTOFF: Only players rostered before kickoff week 12 are eligible to be protected; so any player added after this week cannot be protected for 2024 season.

PLAYOFF OUTLOOK:

The Muffdivers (9-1) have clinched the Cappelletti Division and with 3 weeks left is one win away from clinching the overall #1 seed.

Playoff spots are looking pretty good for the Armadillos (7-3) who lead the Paterno Division by two games, and the Mud (7-3) who lead the Engle Division by one game.

After the three division winners, an additional three teams will get wildcard slots. In the past few years, nearly every wild card team had 7 wins, so there is a lot more football to be played and those teams still theoretically in the conversation are the Beach Dudes (6-5), Blowfish (5-4-1), Froglickers, Mustangs, Big Bang (all 5-5), Wildcats and Griffins (both 5-6).

Happy Thanksgiving all!

by CBS Fantasy Football AI

Keystone Longfellows took yet another hit to the loss column, while Miami Muffdivers won their 3rd in a row. That plus a very lucky win for Mercer Mustangs in this week’s report.

Riddled with Talent

Calvin Ridley drops 22.5 points in leading Happy Valley Violence to victory

It’s not that hard to win when you have the league’s top performer for the week, and Calvin Ridley was that player.1 Ridley was the key component as Happy Valley Violence pounded New Chester Thorobreds into submission, winning 87 to 37. His 22.5 point performance made him the top performer on Happy Valley Violence for the first time this year. He hadn’t posted 100+ yards or scored a touchdown in the four games prior to Sunday, but he had no problem snapping both streaks against the Titans.

Happy Valley Violence also got a better-than-expected performance from Tony Pollard, who beat his projections by 6.2 points. Pollard’s performance this week stopped his three game streak of not meeting his projections.

New Chester Thorobreds lost despite the prodigious efforts of Brock Purdy. Purdy scored 21 points, which were good for 2nd place among all quarterbacks this week. Unfortunately for Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic, nobody else really stepped up.

Indeed, this week’s loss was a true group effort. New Chester Thorobreds were brought down by seven underperformers, the worst of whom was Aaron Jones (0.5 points). New Chester Thorobreds has never won when Jones failed to hit his expected points, going 0 – 4.

Happy Valley Violence got their first back-to-back wins of the season, bringing their record to 3 – 7. The loss drops New Chester Thorobreds’ record to an identical 3 – 7.

Too Hot to Handle

21 points from Nathaniel Dell helps give Connecticut Wildcats the win

Coach Ron Yeany earned his team points last week, and decided that he wanted extra points this week as well. He started two players that the experts thought should be riding the pine. One of those picks, Justin Herbert, worked out. The other pick, Keaton Mitchell, did not.

Overall, these decisions netted Connecticut Wildcats a total of 6.5 points, which ended up winning them the game, as Connecticut Wildcats (5 – 6) slid by Orange Co. Beach Dudes (6 – 5), winning 77 to 71.

Nathaniel Dell was the clear leader on Connecticut Wildcats this week, scoring 21 points. That performance was the 4th best of any player this week.2 He added some padding to the Texans’ score right before halftime with this leaping 40-yard TD.

Meanwhile, it will be difficult for Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler to fault any one player for the loss. Jaylen Waddle was the worst of a five man group of underperformers on Orange Co. Beach Dudes, tallying only 4 points. That made him the worst performer on Orange Co. Beach Dudes for the first time this year.

No Threat

Saquon Barkley leads Boxboro Blowfish in an easy win

This was expected to be a blowout, and Boxboro Blowfish didn’t disappoint. They made it look easy against Philadelphia Griffins, winning 91 to 54.

The win gets Boxboro Blowfish back above .500 at 5 – 4 – 1. The loss drops Philadelphia Griffins to the last spot in the Cappelletti division at 5 – 6.

Boxboro Blowfish has been in trouble when it comes to running back performance this year (worst in league). Meanwhile, Philadelphia Griffins has been the 4th best. This week, however, things did not go according to the script. Boxboro Blowfish got good efforts from two different players In the running back group, with Saquon Barkley scoring 22 points to lead the way. Barkley caught two touchdowns on Sunday, one of which was this impossible over-the-shoulder score.

Philadelphia Griffins saw two of their running backs fall well behind, none failing harder than De’Von Achane, who scored only 0.5 points. Just a day after returning from IR, Achane was once again sidelined with a knee injury after only two touches.

The rest of Coach Doug Weaver’s lineup followed their running backs, scoring 45 more points. Of that crew, Amon-Ra St. Brown led the way with 14 points. St. Brown has now gone five weeks without dipping below the average wide receiver’s points.

Beat Down

Tyreek Hill’s 22 points help Chicago Mud crush Keystone Longfellows

Chicago Mud had an atrocious 18% winning percentage all-time against Keystone Longfellows, but that didn’t matter one bit this week. They left Keystone Longfellows wondering where it all went wrong, winning 107.5 to 59. With those 107.5 points, Chicago Mud had the most points in the league for the 2nd straight week.

This loss brings Keystone Longfellows’ losing streak to nine in a row, and puts their record at 1 – 9. The win brings Chicago Mud to 7 – 3.

Chicago Mud had an all-star group lined up for the early Sunday slate, and they came through big time. Tyreek Hill led the way, scoring 22 points. Despite briefly leaving with a hand injury, Hill still secured 10 of 11 targets for 146 yards and this speedy touchdown.

David Montgomery helped early on Sunday as well, scoring 5 more points than expected. Meanwhile, Keystone Longfellows were having a so-so performance. They got a total of 7.5 points from Austin Ekeler and Trey McBride. Ekeler’s performance this week ended a three game streak of beating the experts’ projections.

Chicago Mud were already in good shape going into the Sunday late games. It was over for good after Tyler Bass and George Kittle dropped 31 points. A solid performance for Chicago Mud by Courtland Sutton on Sunday night just put a little bit of salt in Keystone Longfellows’ wounds.

Fortune’s Friend

Davante Adams helps Mercer Mustangs to a lucky win

Mercer Mustangs came into the game as the biggest underdog this week, but they didn’t let that get them down. They got past Dallas Armadillos, winning 49.5 to 45.5. Mercer Mustangs would have only beaten one other team this week, so Coach Jim Waugh got pretty lucky with the schedule.

The victory makes it three in a row for Mercer Mustangs, bringing their record to 5 – 5. After suffering their first back-to-back losses of the season, Dallas Armadillos sits at 7 – 3.

Mercer Mustangs had never lost when Davante Adams overperformed his expectations, and that held true again this week. Adams was the key contributor for Mercer Mustangs, scoring 14.5 points. This is the 2nd time this year that he has led Mercer Mustangs. He returned to the end zone for the first time since Week 3 thanks to this impressive 46-yard TD.

Dallas Armadillos are bound to have a hard time winning when A.J. Brown has a bad week, and that’s just what happened. Brown was the worst of six underperformers, tallying 0.5 points. That’s the fewest points that he’s scored this year.

Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain have to place a big part of the blame for this loss on themself. They started Marquise Brown instead of Puka Nacua, despite the experts’ prediction that Nacua should have played.

This decision took a 11.5 point chunk out of Dallas Armadillos’ final score, which cost them the game. It also made Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain the worst performing gameday coaches this week.

Cruising

Keenan Allen and Miami Muffdivers skate past Frelinghuysen Froglickers

Miami Muffdivers (9 – 1) started week eleven with the best record in the league, and finished week eleven with the best record in the league. They crushed Frelinghuysen Froglickers (5 – 5), winning 81.5 to 55.

The result fits the recent pattern for both of these teams. Miami Muffdivers have now won three games in a row. The loss is the 4th straight for Frelinghuysen Froglickers.

Miami Muffdivers had two main stars in Keenan Allen and Jaylen Warren, who together totaled 37.5 points. Warren scored 18.5 points, which is the most he’s gotten this year. He posted 129 yards on Sunday, over half of which came from this unbelievable 74-yard TD (the only one Pittsburgh scored).

Meanwhile, there were plenty of chefs cooking up this week’s loss for Frelinghuysen Froglickers. They had five underperformers, with Derrick Henry (2.5 points) being the worst.3 King Henry’s 2.5 points made him the worst starter on his team for the 2nd time this season. His performances have closely tracked the fortunes of Frelinghuysen Froglickers this season, as they have gone 2 – 3 when he fails to meet his expectations, and 3 – 1 when he meets them.

Something has to give next week when Miami Muffdivers and Mercer Mustangs clash, as they each come into the game on three game winning streaks. The game will be a rematch from week one, and Coach Pat landy will no doubt be hoping that Stefon Diggs can drop 18 points like he did last time.

Meanwhile, Frelinghuysen Froglickers will be playing Dallas Armadillos next week. That team will limp into the contest having posted only 45.5 points this week. That will be a rematch from week one, when Frelinghuysen Froglickers lost 51 to 39.5.

BYE: BOB 53.5 points

by CBS Fantasy Football AI

Big Oregon Bang won their 3rd in a row, while Frelinghuysen Froglickers took yet another hit to the loss column. That plus a crushing loss for Orange Co. Beach Dudes in this week’s ‘Around the League’ report.

Smooth Operator

Forget the teams, it’s Coach Ron Yeany that is the big winner this week. He left Jaleel McLaughlin and Drake London on the bench in favor of Keaton Mitchell and Zay Flowers, who were both expected to score less.

These great decisions netted Coach Yeany an extra 11.5 points and were the difference in the game, as Connecticut Wildcats (4 – 6) made it past Keystone Longfellows (1 – 8), winning 67 to 59.5.

Justin Herbert did about as good for Connecticut Wildcats this week as he did bad last week. Herbert separated himself from the rest of the crew on Connecticut Wildcats, putting up 22 points. Good performances are nothing new for Herbert, who has been the top performer on Connecticut Wildcats more times than any other player. He showed off his pinpoint precision by tossing this TD right between two defenders.

Meanwhile, Keystone Longfellows can place the blame for this loss squarely on Bryce Young, who managed only 2 points. Coach Terry Muth have to be used to bad scores from Young, who has been the worst performer on Keystone Longfellows more times than any other player. He has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in four straight games.

Next week will see Connecticut Wildcats taking on the 6 – 4 Orange Co. Beach Dudes. Points were in short supply for that team this week, as they could only scrounge up 46 of them. Keystone Longfellows has a difficult three game stretch starting next week against Chicago Mud. Helping things somewhat, Chicago Mud will be without Alvin Kamara, who has a bye.

Out of the Darkness

Coach Nicholas Fisher really needed someone to lend him a hand and help end his five game losing streak. Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler were only too happy to help. Philadelphia Griffins demolished Orange Co. Beach Dudes, winning 76.5 to 46. With the win, Philadelphia Griffins put an end to Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ three-game win streak.

The win evens up Philadelphia Griffins’ record at 5 – 5. The loss drops Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ record to 6 – 4.

Philadelphia Griffins didn’t have any huge performances this week, but also didn’t have anybody who really dropped the ball. Bijan Robinson paced the team by beating the average running back by 6.1 points, while Brandon McManus (5.1 points worse than the average kicker) was the worst on the team. Robinson’s 14.5 points represent the most he’s had this year. A good performance by Robinson has been crucial for Philadelphia Griffins all year, as they have gone 4 – 1 when he exceeds expectations, and 1 – 4 when he doesn’t.

Meanwhile, the loss for Orange Co. Beach Dudes came down to a pretty simple factor: they didn’t go anywhere. Collectively, they only managed to gain 304 yards rushing and receiving. Orange Co. Beach Dudes were practicing their manners as they put every other team ahead of themselves in the RuReYd category this week.

Philadelphia Griffins will face off against Boxboro Blowfish next week. As for Orange Co. Beach Dudes, they will match up with Connecticut Wildcats.

No Streak For You!

After getting knocked out of the playoffs by Dallas Armadillos last year, Coach Pat landy had a chance to exact some revenge, and he took advantage of it. Miami Muffdivers earned a nice victory over Dallas Armadillos, winning 87 to 72.5. The win helped Miami Muffdivers halt Dallas Armadillos’ six game winning streak.

Miami Muffdivers now have the best record in the league at 8 – 1. The loss drops Dallas Armadillos’ record to 7 – 2.

Miami Muffdivers, who were a 9 point favorite coming into the game, had a decent start during the early Sunday games. Chris Boswell’s 12 points were the key contribution.

Meanwhile, Dallas Armadillos decided the whole ‘scoring points’ thing was passe. Mark Andrews and Blake Grupe both did poorly, together coming up with only 6 points. Andrews’ performance this week ended a three game streak of beating the league average.

Going into the Sunday late games, Miami Muffdivers was a heavy favorite. After Keenan Allen scored an incredible 31.5 points, the contest was over.

Come on guys…

Coach Ronnie Feldman has put together the 2nd best group of wide receivers, and they showed their mettle again this week. Chicago Mud used sticky hands to power themselves to a 90.5 to 84 victory over Boxboro Blowfish. Mike Evans scored 20 points, while Courtland Sutton scored 11. Evans’ most impressive catch on Sunday (of which there were many) has to be this 43-yard grab to get his team into the red zone.

Chicago Mud also got a big effort from George Kittle (9.1 points above expected). Kittle has become something of a lodestar for Chicago Mud, as they have never lost when he overperforms his expectations, going 3 – 0.

Meanwhile, Coach Doug Weaver will find no easy scapegoat for this week’s loss. Boxboro Blowfish had five underperformers, with Chuba Hubbard (1 point) being the worst. Hubbard’s 1 point made him the worst starter on his team for the 2nd time this season.

Boxboro Blowfish wound up with their high point total courtesy of three overperformers. Dak Prescott scored 36 points to pace the group. This was Dak’s first venture off the bench, which bodes well for his future playing time.

With the win, Chicago Mud moved to 6 – 3, good for the top spot in the Engle division. The loss drops Boxboro Blowfish’s record to 4 – 4 – 1.

More Please

Big Oregon Bang got past New Chester Thorobreds with points to spare, winning 73.5 to 53.5. The win must seem like deja vu for Big Oregon Bang, who won the last game with New Chester Thorobreds by a 81.5 to 43 margin.

The win makes it three in a row for Big Oregon Bang, giving them a record of 5 – 5. The loss drops New Chester Thorobreds’ record to 3 – 6.

Big Oregon Bang put together a solid Sunday. Jahmyr Gibbs and Chris Olave carried the water, scoring 34.5 points between them. While he couldn’t quite score on this defender-defying rush, Gibbs still posted 112 total yards and two rushing TDs.

Meanwhile, New Chester Thorobreds were sputtering along with a less than stellar performance. Jakobi Meyers was the worst of a four man group of underperformers, scoring only 1 point. Bad performances are pretty common these days for Meyers, who has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in three straight games.

Going into Monday night, New Chester Thorobreds were in a really tough spot. Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic needed Josh Allen to outscore Dalton Kincaid and Jerry Jeudy by 18 points.

Kincaid and Jeudy put up sub-par numbers, scoring 12 points and giving Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic a real chance for a comeback. Unfortunately, Allen had a disappointing game, scoring 10 points, which wasn’t nearly enough.

Leading the Charge

Mercer Mustangs came into the game as the biggest underdog this week, but they didn’t let that get them down. They ended up on top against Frelinghuysen Froglickers, winning 75 to 61. Mercer Mustangs have now scored 149.5 points over the last two weeks, which is quite a turnaround given that they were the lowest scoring team in the league at the beginning of that stretch.

The defeat puts Frelinghuysen Froglickers on a three game losing streak, which gives them a 5 – 4 record. The win brings Mercer Mustangs to 4 – 5.

Mercer Mustangs got good efforts from almost everyone on the squad, with six players topping their positional averages. Sam Howell was the first among equals, racking up 18 points. That makes it three straight games of overperforming expectations for Howell. He had no problem improvising on Sunday, as can be seen in this scrambling 51-yard TD.

Justice Hill has been dead weight throughout Frelinghuysen Froglickers’s losing streak, and this week brought more of the same. Frelinghuysen Froglickers suffered from two goose eggs, with Jahan Dotson and Hill failing to contribute anything. Unfortunately, more bad performances might be on tap for Hill, who has seen his point total drop in each of the last three weeks. Frelinghuysen Froglickers has never won when he failed to hit his expected points, going 0 – 3.

Both teams have a tough upcoming schedule. Next week, Mercer Mustangs will be playing Dallas Armadillos. Dallas Armadillos brings in the best player in the league over the past three weeks: CeeDee Lamb.

Frelinghuysen Froglickers might really want to have this week’s loss to an easy opponent back. The next two games are against winning teams, starting with Miami Muffdivers next week. The contest will see some top shelf RB play, as Raheem Mostert meets up with Christian McCaffrey.

Bye: HVV 61.5 points

Week 9 is in the books and the playoff stretch run is in front of us. Here’s the annual reminder that kickoff week 12 is the trade deadline. This is also the cutoff for protecting 2024 players — they must be rostered continuously after week 12. (In other words, players “added” after kickoff week 12 are not eligible to be protected for 2024 season.)

So with 2 weeks before the trade deadline and 5 weeks left in our regular season, the playoff picture is starting to take shape.

Our two Fantasy Bowl teams from last year — Armadillos and Muffdivers — are both 7-1 this year and share the best record in the league. Mark your calendars for week 10, when Dallas and Miami face off head to head. Miami holds a 2-game lead over the Froglickers (5-3) in the Cappelletti Division. Dallas holds a 3-game lead over the Big Bang (4-5) in the Paterno Division.

This year’s biggest surprise is probably Orange County. For the past two consecutive seasons, the Beach Dudes have had the league’s worst record. But at 6-3, the Dudes hold a 1-game lead over the Mud (5-4) in the Engle Division.

Playoff hopes have mostly slipped away for the Longfellows (1-7), Violence (2-7) and Wildcats (3-6), and the remaining teams — Blowfish (4-3-1), Griffins (4-5), Mustangs and Thorobreds (both 3-5) will need to string together some wins ASAP to be in the playoff conversation.

Dallas Armadillos won their 6th in a row, while Keystone Longfellows took yet another hit to the loss column. Meanwhile, Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler were winning by setting a perfect lineup. Read all about it in this week’s report.

Lineup Nirvana

It wasn’t too close for comfort, but it was still pretty close, as Orange Co. Beach Dudes beat Frelinghuysen Froglickers 57.5 to 52.5. With the win, Orange Co. Beach Dudes moved to 6 – 3, good for the top spot in the Engle division. Frelinghuysen Froglickers are now 5 – 3 after suffering their first back-to-back losses of the season.

Taysom Hill and Nico Collins were the key contributors for Orange Co. Beach Dudes, scoring 15 and 9.5 points, respectively. Hill has now overperformed the experts’ predictions in four straight games.

Meanwhile, Frelinghuysen Froglickers really lost this game as a team. They had six underperformers, with Lamar Jackson (5 points) being the worst.1 Coach David Zilberfarb have to be used to bad scores from Jackson, who has been the worst performer on Frelinghuysen Froglickers more times than any other player. Despite winning a 37-3 blowout, he relied on the run game and posted a modest 187 passing yards on Sunday.

On the coaching front, the difference in tactical skill showed this week. Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler followed the experts’ advice for each position and ended up with a perfect lineup. This is the first time all year that Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler have pulled that off.

Coach Zilberfarb tried to second guess the experts this week when setting their lineup, but it didn’t work out quite as well. They started Justice Hill instead of David Njoku, despite the experts’ prediction that Njoku should have played.

This decision cost Frelinghuysen Froglickers a total of 6 points, which cost them the game. Coach Zilberfarb have been outsmarted by the experts more than any other coach in the league this season, having cost their team 47 points.

On a Tear

Dallas Armadillos had gotten terrible production out their running backs this season (4th worst in the league), but this week it was a whole different story. Dallas Armadillos used a big game from their running backs to take down Connecticut Wildcats 102.5 to 70.5. Rhamondre Stevenson scored 16 points, and Gus Edwards was close behind with 15. Stevenson went the distance on this incredible rushing score, which accounted for 64 of his 87 rushing yards.

CeeDee Lamb helped out as well, exceeding his projected point total by 9.9 points. Lamb’s 20.5 point performance was good for 4th place among all players this week.2

Justin Herbert has been clutch for Connecticut Wildcats this year, but failed to show up this week. Connecticut Wildcats had many underperformers, but Herbert stood out, tallying zero points. No other player scored fewer points than that this week.

Coach Ron Yeany certainly can’t blame the loss on Nathaniel Dell, who scored 23 points. That was the most of any wide receiver this week.

The win brings Dallas Armadillos’ winning streak to six games, and gives them a record of 7 – 1. The loss drops Connecticut Wildcats’ record to 3 – 6.

Relief

Coming into the game, Mercer Mustangs (3 – 5) had scored the second fewest points of any team over the last three weeks. They didn’t dwell on the past this game though, as they put up big numbers. Coach Jim Waugh’s boys got the job done against Philadelphia Griffins (4 – 5), winning 74.5 to 68. The win is part of a larger trend for Mercer Mustangs. In each of the last three weeks they have scored more points than the week before.

The game gave sweet relief to one team, even though both teams needed it. Philadelphia Griffins started this week with a four game losing streak The victory ended Mercer Mustangs’ four game losing streak.

When Coach Waugh entertained thoughts of winning this game, he probably didn’t include the three players that ended up leading the way. Jake Ferguson scored 15.5 points, Najee Harris got 12, and Sam Howell dropped 13. Howell showed off his accuracy on this dime to tie the game at 17.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia Griffins saw six different players underperform, and while none of them particularly stuck out, Jonathan Mingo and his 0.5 points was officially the worst. That makes it seven straight games where Mingo has underperformed the league average wide receiver.

The schedule for Mercer Mustangs brings Frelinghuysen Froglickers around next week. Frelinghuysen Froglickers will have to play without Raheem Mostert, who has a bye week.

Philadelphia Griffins’ next game will be against Orange Co. Beach Dudes in a rematch from week one. Philadelphia Griffins absolutely demolished Orange Co. Beach Dudes, winning by 44.5 points. Coach Nicholas Fisher will no doubt be hoping that Brandon Aiyuk can drop 25 points like he did when he last went against Orange Co. Beach Dudes.

See J. Score

This game was expected to be close. Happy Valley Violence found those expectations insulting. They stomped all over Boxboro Blowfish 84.5 to 48.5. With the win, Happy Valley Violence put an end to Boxboro Blowfish’s three-game win streak.

The win brings Happy Valley Violence’s record to 2 – 7, while dropping Boxboro Blowfish to 4 – 3 – 1.

After coming up with all of 6 points last week, C.J. Stroud came up clutch this week. Stroud made it rain for Happy Valley Violence, delivering 41 points. He topped all quarterbacks this week with that performance. His 470 passing yards smashed the single-game passing-yard record for a rookie, previously held by Andrew Luck’s 433 yard effort in 2012.

Happy Valley Violence also got a better-than-expected performance from Alexander Mattison, who beat his projections by 5.2 points. Mattison’s performance this week ended a three game streak of failing to hit his projections.

Meanwhile, Coach Doug Weaver will have a hard time pinning the blame for this loss on any particular player. Boxboro Blowfish were brought down by five underperformers, the worst of whom was Gabe Davis (zero points).

Leading the Charge

Coach Wayne rupert picked up Chase McLaughlin off the waiver wire this week and he paid immediate dividends. McLaughlin led the way as Big Oregon Bang tightroped past Keystone Longfellows, winning 45.5 to 45. His performance this week ended a three game streak of failing to perform at a league average level.

Despite winning, Big Oregon Bang struggled to score points due to six underperforming players, of whom Keaontay Ingram (zero points) was the worst. That was the fewest of any running back this week.

Meanwhile, there’s no pointing fingers in Keystone Longfellows’ loss as they failed all over the place. Bryce Young was the worst of a six man group of underperformers, dropping only 4 points.1 This is the 2nd time this year that he was the worst starter on his team.

Keystone Longfellows also had to deal with a poor effort from Kenneth Walker III (7.3 points below expected). Unfortunately, more bad performances might be on tap for Walker III, who has seen his point total drop in each of the last three weeks.

Austin Ekeler was the lone bright spot (and a pretty dim one at that) for Keystone Longfellows this week, scoring 16 points. Ekeler broke several tackles to get down to the goal line and then broke a couple more to get across it.

Big Oregon Bang improve to 4 – 5 after winning three out of their last four games. The defeat is the 7th in a row for Keystone Longfellows, which leaves them with a 1 – 7 record.

Taking the Reins

Miami Muffdivers got this win with a little bit in reserve, earning a 55.5 to 45.5 victory over Chicago Mud. The 55.5 points that Miami Muffdivers scored were the fewest they scored this year. The win brings Miami Muffdivers’ record to 7 – 1, while dropping Chicago Mud to 5 – 3.

Miami Muffdivers were led by the two man wrecking crew of Stefon Diggs and Joe Burrow, who combined for 59% of Miami Muffdivers’ points. Burrow racked up 348 yards on Sunday, which probably has something to do with how quickly he can get rid of the ball.

Chicago Mud lost due to the efforts of some repeat offenders this week. Christian Watson scored 0.5 points, Tyler Bass got 4, and Jordan Love dropped 8. It’s yet another disappointing day for Bass, who has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in five straight games. His performances have been a good barometer for Chicago Mud this season, as they have gone 2 – 3 when he fails to meet his expectations, and 3 – 0 when he meets them.

The scoreboard operator might be kept busy when Miami Muffdivers and Dallas Armadillos, the two highest scoring teams in the league, face off next week. Dallas Armadillos have been racking up the points recently also, posting three straight 75+ point games. Meanwhile, Chicago Mud will be playing Boxboro Blowfish next week.

BYE: NCT 73.5 pts

Dallas Armadillos won their 5th in a row, while Philadelphia Griffins took yet another hit to the loss column. Other interesting news such as Miami Muffdivers’ first loss of the season, in this week’s recap.

I’ll Have Another

In a week where there were three blowouts, this was the biggest. Dallas Armadillos crushed Philadelphia Griffins, winning 104.5 to 66.5. With those 104.5 points, Dallas Armadillos had the most points in the league for the 2nd straight week.

Dallas Armadillos have now finished off five straight opponents after this win, bringing their record to 6 – 1. The loss makes it four in a row for Philadelphia Griffins, putting their record at 4 – 4.

Dallas Armadillos have been relying on A.J. Brown all year, and he came through again this week. Brown teamed up with CeeDee Lamb and Gus Edwards to provide 78% of Dallas Armadillos’ points. Brown is on quite a hot streak, performing better than any other starter over the last three weeks. He caught all eight of his targets on Sunday, an incredible accomplishment considering one of them might be the most impressive catch this season.

Desmond Ridder got his first start for Philadelphia Griffins this week, but it might be his last. Ridder was clearly the weakest link for Coach Nicholas Fisher and the gang as he recorded zero points. That made him the worst starter this week. Unfortunately, more bad performances might be on tap for Ridder, who has seen his point total drop in each of the last three weeks.

Looking at lineup decisions, Coach Fisher wound up with a perfect lineup this week, albeit by following the CBSSports projections to the letter. He was the only coach this week to pull that off.

Cya!

Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler probably wanted to take a vacation after last week’s down-to-the-wire contest. They got the rest, and the win. Orange Co. Beach Dudes gave New Chester Thorobreds a 87.5 to 56.5 drubbing. The win brings Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ record to 5 – 3, while dropping New Chester Thorobreds to 3 – 5.

Orange Co. Beach Dudes made a big statement during Sunday’s main action. Jaylen Waddle drove the bus, scoring 18.5 points. Waddle posted a season-high 121 receiving yards on Sunday, which is a bit easier when you’re left totally undefended.

Orange Co. Beach Dudes also got a solid effort from Kareem Hunt (6.9 points above expected). It’s also the 3rd straight week that he has outperformed his projections.

Meanwhile, New Chester Thorobreds were having a so-so performance. The tag team of Christian Kirk and Aaron Jones was good for all of 6 points between them. Underperforming is the new normal for Jones, who has gone three straight games without hitting his projected point total.

A win was looking really unlikely for New Chester Thorobreds going into Sunday night’s game. The door slammed shut for good after D’Onta Foreman dropped only 1.5 points.

Aaaaalvin!

Chicago Mud just outclassed Happy Valley Violence this week, earning a 69.5 to 48.5 victory. The win is more of the same for Chicago Mud, who won the last game with Happy Valley Violence by the score of 95.5 to 45.5. The win brings Chicago Mud’s record to 5 – 2, while dropping Happy Valley Violence to 1 – 7.

Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, league-leaders at the wide receiver and tight end positions, faced off in this one. Only one of them, however, lived up to expectations. The Cheetah did great for Chicago Mud, racking up 18 points. He now has over 1,000 receiving yards on the season, making him the fastest player to reach that mark in the Super Bowl era.

On the flip side, Kelce was not having a typical Travis Kelce week, scoring only 5 points. Kelce’s performance this week broke his three game streak of surpassing his projections.

The other players on Chicago Mud had Hill’s back, coming up with 51.5 points. That group was led by Alvin Kamara, who scored 20 points. Kamara set his high mark for the season with that effort.

Goin Streaking!

Keystone Longfellows came into this week on a five game losing streak, and went ahead and signed up for more punishment. They ended up pretty far behind in this one, losing 93 to 70.5 to Boxboro Blowfish. Despite the poor result, things are looking up for Keystone Longfellows. In each of the last three weeks they have scored more points than the week before.

Boxboro Blowfish have now won three games in a row, which brings their record to 4 – 2 – 1. The loss drops Keystone Longfellows’ record to 1 – 6.

Boxboro Blowfish had all (well, most) hands on deck in this win, with six players beating their positional averages. Jalen Hurts was the best of the bunch, tallying 22 points. That’s all in a day’s work for the 2nd best quarterback in the league. He only posted six rushing yards on Sunday, but his four touchdown, no interception air attack more than made up for it.

Meanwhile, Latavius Murray stuck out as the worst performer for Keystone Longfellows, totaling only 0.5 points. Murray has now failed to top the league average running back in seven straight games.

There’s a favorable schedule ahead for both teams. Although Keystone Longfellows lost this game, on the bright side, Boxboro Blowfish were the hardest test they will face for a while. Their next two games are against sub .500 teams, starting with Big Oregon Bang next week. Big Oregon Bang, who won this week, will be looking for their first back-to-back wins of the season.

Meanwhile, Boxboro Blowfish will collide with Happy Valley Violence next week. That team is not coming in very hot, after finishing this week with only 48.5 points.

End of the Line

Miami Muffdivers came into this week’s match-up on a six-game win streak, but Big Oregon Bang put an end to that. Big Oregon Bang destroyed Miami Muffdivers, winning 104 to 68. Blowouts are the usual for these teams these days. Big Oregon Bang has been involved in two straight blowout games, while this is the 5th straight blowout game for Miami Muffdivers.

This was Miami Muffdivers’ first loss of the season, which gives them a 6 – 1 record.

Jahmyr Gibbs led a very balanced group of five overperformers for Big Oregon Bang this week, totaling 21.5 points. This is the 2nd time this year that Gibbs has paced Big Oregon Bang. He nearly doubled his single-game career high in rushing yards, picking up 152 with a touchdown.

Meanwhile, there were plenty of chefs cooking up this week’s loss for Miami Muffdivers. They were brought down by five underperformers, the worst of whom was Dalton Schultz (1 point). Schultz might be heading back to the waiver wire after getting picked up before this game.

The strength of schedule diverges for these squads next week. Big Oregon Bang have a lucky matchup set for next week. They play Keystone Longfellows, a team currently on a six game losing skid. Big Oregon Bang won’t have Travis Etienne available to start in that contest.

Miami Muffdivers’ loss this week is especially bad as it represented the last easy game they will have for a while. The next three games are against winning teams, starting with Chicago Mud next week. Miami Muffdivers will face off against Tyreek Hill in that game, part of a three game stretch against tough wide receivers which will see them take on A.J. Brown and Ja’Marr Chase in the following weeks.

Special Delivery

The experts predicted that Connecticut Wildcats was going to have the easiest time of any team this week, and that now looks like a good call. They wound up with a solid victory against Mercer Mustangs, winning 69 to 60.5.

The win was Connecticut Wildcats’ 3rd in their last four games, bringing their record to 3 – 5. Another defeat makes it four in a row for Mercer Mustangs, dropping their record to 2 – 5.

Connecticut Wildcats had never lost when Breece Hall overperformed his expectations, and that held true again this week. Hall was part of a three-man-team, joining with Justin Herbert and Joe Mixon to post 45.5 points. That makes it three straight games where Hall has outperformed the league average running back. A bit of rain was no problem for Hall, who put the Jets on the board with this amazing 50-yard score.

Meanwhile, Mercer Mustangs had plenty of duds in the loss. Davante Adams was the worst of a four man group of underperformers, scoring only 0.5 points. That’s the fewest points that he’s scored so far this year. He has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in five straight games.

Coach Ron Yeany’s lineup decisions earned his team points last week, and did again this week. He went with Josh Downs over the higher ranked Josh Palmer.

This decision gave Connecticut Wildcats a nice 6 point bonus. Coach Yeany hardly needs any more motivation to go against the experts, as he has taken more risks that any other coach in the league so far.

Bye Week: FFL 67 points

by CBS Fantasy Football AI

Keystone Longfellows took yet another hit to the loss column, while Miami Muffdivers won their 6th in a row. Meanwhile, Happy Valley Violence finally picked up their first win. Read about how it happened after the jump.

26.5 points from D’Onta Foreman lead New Chester Thorobreds in huge blowout

There were several blowouts this week, but none bigger than this one. New Chester Thorobreds (3 – 4) thoroughly dominated Philadelphia Griffins (4 – 3), winning 87.5 to 31.5. That 56 point win is the biggest blowout so far this season.

The 87.5 points that New Chester Thorobreds dropped were the most they scored this year. In the meantime, Philadelphia Griffins were busy dropping the lowest point total of anyone this season.

Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic didn’t rely on their All-Stars to pull this one out, instead getting contributions from unexpected quarters. D’Onta Foreman scored 26.5 points, while Christian Kirk scored 14. Foreman’s 26.5 point performance was the 2nd best of any player this week.1 He was a huge factor in Chicago’s upset win on Sunday: he posted three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving), leaping over defenders in the process.

Meanwhile, Deshaun Watson was the main culprit in Philadelphia Griffins’ loss, scoring -1 points. That set the new low mark for points in a week this season. Watson’s game on Sunday couldn’t have gone much worse: he completed one of five passes for five yards, tossed this pick, then left the game with an injury (possibly related to his shoulder).

New Chester Thorobreds will face off against Orange Co. Beach Dudes next week. Coaches mike white and Rich Sladic will be happy to see that Orange Co. Beach Dudes is coming into next week’s game having scored less than 55 points in their previous three games.

Philadelphia Griffins’ next game is against Dallas Armadillos (5 – 1), who has pulverized the league so far. Philadelphia Griffins will have long odds to win if Dallas Armadillos scores another 102 points, like they did this week.

Christian McCaffrey and Miami Muffdivers take down Connecticut Wildcats for their 6th win in a row

It’s probably been tough for Coach Pat landy to stay awake while following his recent games. The previous three games were blowouts, and this week’s action was no different. Miami Muffdivers demolished Connecticut Wildcats, winning 75 to 44. Despite the good result, Coach Landy has to be concerned, as this is the 4th straight week that his squad has scored fewer points than the week before.

The victory makes it six in a row for Miami Muffdivers, which gives them a 6 – 0 record. The loss drops Connecticut Wildcats’ record to 2 – 5.

Coach Landy’s squad got off on the right foot early on Sunday. They were powered by James Cook, who scored 12.5 points. That’s the most points that he’s scored so far this year.

Meanwhile, Coach Ron Yeany’s squad just couldn’t quite get it going. They got a total of 11 points from Drake London and Zay Flowers.

Going into the Sunday late games, Connecticut Wildcats were already a fairly long shot to win. After several players, including Keaontay Ingram, scored essentially no fantasy points it was all she wrote.

Jalen Hurts helps Boxboro Blowfish barely triumph over Frelinghuysen Froglickers

Frelinghuysen Froglickers entered this week’s game with a five game winning streak, but couldn’t keep it going against Boxboro Blowfish. Boxboro Blowfish just slipped by Frelinghuysen Froglickers, 73.5 to 72.5. No team this season has had to suffer a closer loss than the one Frelinghuysen Froglickers endured this week.

Boxboro Blowfish are now 3 – 2 – 1 after picking up their first back-to-back wins of the season. The loss drops Frelinghuysen Froglickers’ record to 5 – 2.

Boxboro Blowfish had several players step up in the win, as five starters beat their positional averages. Jalen Hurts was just a bit ahead of the others, delivering 18 points. Hurts has now gone six weeks without dipping below the average quarterback’s points. The Dolphins simply had no answer to Hurts, who threw two TDs and scored another on the ground thanks to Philly’s “Brotherly Shove”.

Meanwhile, Cole Kmet loomed large in the loss for Frelinghuysen Froglickers, dropping zero points. Kmet is in the midst of a troubling sequence, having seen his point total fall every week for the last three weeks. Despite playing 89% of the Bears snaps, he didn’t get a single target on Sunday.

On the coaching front, Coach Doug Weaver followed the experts’ advice for each position this week and ended up with a perfect lineup. They were the only coach this week to pull that off.

Happy Valley Violence finally get a ‘W’ this week

‘We can build on this.’ Happy Valley Violence, who stumbled into week seven with the worst record in the league, better hope so. They had just enough against Keystone Longfellows, winning 68 to 60.5.

Happy Valley Violence (finally!) got off the schneid with this win. They now sit at 1 – 6. The loss is the 5th straight for Keystone Longfellows, and puts their record at 1 – 5.

Happy Valley Violence had a one-man wrecking crew, with Travis Kelce posting 26 points. No other tight end has scored more points than that this season. This Kelce TD marked his 50th touchdown connection with Patrick Mahomes.

Kadarius Toney has been let go by multiple fantasy squads so far this year, and this week he showed why. Toney was the worst of six underperformers, producing 0.5 points. He has yet to give Keystone Longfellows even one week of above average wide receiver play this season.

Happy Valley Violence’s next game will be against Chicago Mud in a rematch from week one. Happy Valley Violence was run off the field in the previous matchup, losing by 50 points. Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak will no doubt be worried that Tyreek Hill will drop another 35.5 points for Chicago Mud like he did last time.

Meanwhile, Keystone Longfellows will take on Boxboro Blowfish next week.

31 points from Patrick Mahomes helps give Dallas Armadillos the win

This contest featured the top performing player this week in Patrick Mahomes, and not surprisingly, he played on the winning team. Dallas Armadillos made it look easy against Big Oregon Bang, winning 102 to 68 behind 31 points from Showtime. His performance this week stopped his four game streak of not meeting his projections. He was back to making the unlikeliest of plays, most notably this improvised 46-yard TD.

A.J. Brown helped out as well, exceeding his projected point total by 8.5 points. That makes it five straight games of overperforming expectations for Brown.

Big Oregon Bang are bound to have a hard time winning when Tua Tagovailoa has a bad week, and that’s just what happened. Tagovailoa was the worst of six underperformers, putting up 6 points.2 Big Oregon Bang has never won when he failed to hit his expected points, going 0 – 4. He fell victim to Philly’s stellar defense on Sunday, recording season-lows in passing yards (216), passer rating (87.5), and yards per attempt (6.8).

Big Oregon Bang did get a couple of good, but ultimately futile, efforts from Jahmyr Gibbs and Travis Etienne, who came up with a total of 34 points. Gibbs scored 17.5 points, which made him the top performer on Big Oregon Bang for the first time this year.

The win brings Dallas Armadillos to 5 – 1, and sends them to the top of our internal power rankings.

Kareem Hunt’s 13 points were key in a tight game

Coming into the game, Orange Co. Beach Dudes had scored the second fewest points of any team over the last three weeks. They didn’t do much better point-wise in this game, but didn’t need to. Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler’s squad squeaked past Mercer Mustangs, winning 46.5 to 44. Orange Co. Beach Dudes got a fairly lucky victory, winning with the 4th lowest point total in the league this week.

The win gets Orange Co. Beach Dudes back above .500 at 4 – 3. The loss drops Mercer Mustangs’ record to 2 – 4.

Kareem Hunt was the key contributor for Orange Co. Beach Dudes, scoring 13 points. There were seven underperformers keeping Orange Co. Beach Dudes from a proper victory, with Elijah Mitchell (zero points) being the worst of them. Bad performances are pretty common these days for Mitchell, who has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in five straight games.

Meanwhile, this week’s loss for Mercer Mustangs was a true group effort. They had five underperformers, with Sam Howell (3 points) being the worst.2 Howell’s performance ended a three game streak of beating the experts’ projections.

Mercer Mustangs also had to deal with a bad performance from Rashod Bateman, who scored only 1 point. Bateman’s performance in this, the first time he made it into the starting lineup, does not augur much for future playing time.

Bye Week: CHI 80.5 points
