1. Hasta Laviska Baby (4-2) +5
Make it 3 straight for the fightin’ Laviskas, and it’s been a strong 3 weeks indeed. Over the course of the winning streak, this squad has averaged 147 points per week including 2 crushing victories of 60 and 48.5 point margins of victory, respectively. Throw in that John has recently added DeAndre Hopkins and RB stash Austin Ekeler, and there’s a lot to like about this team right now. That being said, with Adam Thielen (12.5) on bye in Week 7 and both Godwin (6.5) and Hopkins (8) hampered with injuries, it will be an interesting matchup with Christian in the coming days.
2. The Washington Fantasy Team (4-2) -1
In a tumultuous week that saw Dalvin sitting out to injury and a possible Falcons shutdown which would cost him Calvin Ridley and Hayden Hurst, Murph was still able to guide the squad to their 4th W of the year. Ridley (15) and Hurst (13) did in fact play while Aaron Jones (11.5) and James Robinson (13) were both serviceable in Cook’s absence. In Week 7, a big matchup with Andy will be on the schedule and he will have to do so without Cook and Lamar Jackson.
3. Mickey Mouse Club (4-2) -2
It was a bye-stricken week for Labeck the elder, but it still feels good all the same. Andy was without Darren Waller, Josh Jacobs, and Tyler Lockett, all of whom have been crucial to this team’s success. So Andy turned to the likes of Jerry Jeudy (4), DJ Chark (7.5) and David Montgomery (11) who were all fine but not what was needed to contend with this week’s high scorer. Darren Fells (17) was a nice surprise, though. Aaron Rodgers (4) however, looked absolutely flummoxed by Tampa’s defense leading to one of his worst games of his career. Andy will be back at full strength against Dan in Week 7 as the two division leaders duke it out in the MATCHUP OF THE WEEK!
4. Wet Ass P-Words (4-2) +1
Frank was dealt a heartbreaking 4 point loss in Week 5, so naturally he narrowly escapes defeat the following week by...4 points. Fantasy football is quite often very weird and random and I hate it.
Frank enjoyed another big game from Will Fuller (29) as Deshaun Watson seems to have found his groove, while QB stream Ryan Fitzpatrick (16) was okay and Miles Sanders (16.5) was good but succumbed to an injury and will miss Week 7 because of it. At least AJ Brown (19.5) has strung together a few good games and new addition TJ Hockenson (8) can fill the void Noah Fant has left at TE for the time being. This team is currently in 4th place overall, but still can’t seem to break out of the bottom half of points scored. We’ll see if the paint chips a bit in his Week 7 matchup with Drew who is coming off a statement win.
5. Dirty D (4-2) -3
I’ve been hyping this team up a lot lately and the house of cards finally fell. Mike was riding high on his winning streak before he faced off with John, and this team did not come through for him. Deshaun Watson (41) is finally looking like the QB Mike drafted him to be, while Mike Davis (11) continues to be one of the best waiver wire grabs of the season. Tyler Boyd (9.5) and Preston Williams (8) were both fine and Darrel Henderson (9) was as well but something tells me this team missed Chris Carson a whole lot in that slot. With Le’Veon moving to the best offense in the league, Carson coming off bye and Michael Thomas possibly returning, Mike will try to right the ship in Week 7 against Steve.
6. Chicken Finger Poops (3-3) -2
This team is hard to pin down. Currently 2nd in points scored, Christian is the unhappy owner of a pedestrian 3-3 record despite solid play. While his other 2 losses were well fought, this one was just a top to bottom mess. Missing both Alvin Kamara to bye and Melvin Gordon catching a charge, Christian looked to Robby Anderson (9.5), TY Hilton (1.5) and Devin Singletary (5.5) to lead the way and none of them did so. Quick TY Hilton update, he is currently WR74, averages 5.4 points per game, and is on par with Darnell Mooney in terms of production. I don’t have anything against you, Christian. I just fucking hate TY Hilton for the grief he has caused me.
Christian will have his hands full in Week 7 with a very hot squad in John’s team on its way.
7. Revenge of the Mack (3-3) +1
It was a close call for the Bogelier, snatching a victory with just a 4.5 margin over Steve. Kyler Murray (32) expectedly motorboated Dallas’ defense while old pal Sleepy Clyde (25) enjoyed what may be his last productive game of the year before Le’Veon starts siphoning his touches. Clyde will have plenty of time to snooze once Bell is on board taking the majority of snaps.
Kenny Golladay (17) has been quite helpful when he actually plays and Terry McLaurin (10.5) had a decent bounce back. Let’s see if he can put the squad over .500 when he takes on LiMonta.
8. Bogle’s Team Stinks (3-3) -1
Bogle’s team may stink, but by the transitive property, sir, your team also stinks. And what an odor it is, as this team has dropped to 6th in points scored, thanks in large part to an average of 93 points per week over the last 3 weeks. Did I mention all 3 were losses? Because they were.
With Russel Wilson on bye, Steve looked to Cam Newton (18.5) who has been great in his own rite this season, and Derrick Henry (49) continues to banish defenders to the shadow realm with his trucking and stiff arm abilities. And while Stefon Diggs (13) is enjoying an excellent season, the same can not be said for JuJu (1) who has only topped double digits twice and is entering the dreaded TY Hilton Zone of Production. Also, Raheem Mostert (9.5) is yet again hurt and Zach Ertz (5) is still terrible. We’ll see what Steve can cook up in his matchup with Mike.
9. DeVante’s Inferno (2-4) +1
I don’t know if a season has ever given me a range of emotions like this one has. In the last 3 weeks, I have gone from “I am the greatest man alive, beware my singing wrath” to “I am quitting fantasy football forever” to “Eh, this isn’t so bad”. I guess that’s what happens when you score 200, then your QB steps on an IED, and then you’re the week’s top scorer again. SNIP SNAP SNIP SNAP.
While backup and bonafide hunk Tom Brady (15) was a bit of a letdown in Dak’s stead, a nice game from Joe Mixon (14) and another studly performance from Ronald Jones (31) were a welcome sight. Meanwhile, Cooper Kupp (2.5) and Marquise Brown (7) never got their shoes tied and Jonnu Smith (1.5) exited with an ankle injury. Also, Justin Jefferson (42.5) is a fickle god who only gives me less than 5 points or more than 40 depending on his mood that day, and Korea Bae Younghoe Koo (20) is happy to be back in the fold. The commish will get a crack at Johnny O in Week 7 who will be without both Jonathan Taylor and Myles Gashkin.
10. Drake’s New Favorite Team (2-4) -1
It’s been a frustrating season for the reigning champ, as he can’t seem to nail down consistent performance or a winning streak. It’s now been 2 straight weeks of iffy games from Josh Allen (15) while Davante Adams (9) had one glorious week and has either been hurt or invisible since. Adrian Peterson (12.5) is still clinging to relevance but is looking to be soon supplanted by DeAndre Swift, and DJ Moore (11.5) has been good but in no way a league-winner. At least Julio (37.5) finally had his Julio week. Hopefully that’s a sign of good things to come for LiMonta’s 2nd rounder. He’ll get a crack at Rob in Week 7.
11. Andrew Andrews AA (2-4) +1
A win? I did not prepare any jokes for a Drew victory so bear with me on this.
Drew pulled off the upset in Week 6, riding performances from Kenyan Drake (38), David Johnson (13.5), Brandin Cooks (16.5) and Chase Claypool (15) to victory. Drake’s performance was the spearhead, as this was by far his best week in a very disappointing season for the 1st rounder. Andy Dalton (13) looked every bit like Andy Dalton we all thought he was, but at least Carson Wentz (30) might be locking in? I’ll believe it when I see it.
Drew has already effectively tapped out on 2020, but he’s still managing to make strides to stay out of the basement. A week 7 victory over Frank would be a sight to see.
12. The DK Crew (1-5) -1
Speaking of the basement, here’s this team.
Olc was handed his 5th loss of the year, his 3rd straight, each of which the squad failed to top the century mark. And this one was in heartbreaking fashion, with only 4 points making the difference in the matchup.
Joe Burrow (23) had a nice bounceback week while Jonathan Taylor (14) and the Gash man (15) were both adequate and Robert Woods (11) salvaged his week with a TD. The rest of the squad was basically a letdown except for Tucker (16) and it was obvious the squad was sorely missing the likes of DK Metcalf and Keenan Allen. In week 7, it’s the RB’s turn to go on bye, as both Gaskin and Taylor will be out of the lineup. Hopefully Metcalf and Allen can succeed in week 7 where the rest of the team failed in Week 6.
