Herban Fire (Derek Carr) v. Victorious Secret (Tom Brady): Herban Fire lights up the leader board, jumping up into third place.
Herban Fire is quietly dominating the League right now. Just like Derek Carr. Oh you don't know who Derek Carr is - ME NEITHER! Turns out, he is the QB for the Oakland Raiders, and he gets either a few points in a game or 22+, this man does not know what hey diddle diddle right down the middle means. Not sure I do either...anyway...he is all or nothing, and this week was an all week. BUT. He's from Oakland so obviously we don't pay any attention to him until we realize he is awesome.
Victorious Secret has had a difficult season, she's made some mistakes this season, but that just means she has a chip on her shoulder and something to prove. Case in point: Tom Brady. The Patriots went up against the Redskins on Sunday and Brady threw an interception. In stead of crying in the locker room and plotting elaborate cheating schemes (that's a strictly post game ritual), he got in position and tackled Keenan Robinson himself! Yeah, so I messed up, but at least I took you out in the process.
Bobbum Man (McCluster) v. Vinegar Strokes (Antonio Brown): Not sure if quality or quantity won this match up but the Strokes take the win with big numbers from 3 players.
Dexter McCluster has been one of Bobbum Man's most consistent players. He can be counted on to get over 13 points...since November 1st. But he just hurt his ankle and if nothing else, his name illustrates what Bobbum Man has dealt with all season. His season has been an absolute Cluster of Ducks. This week is a perfect example - finally breaking the 75 point barrier for the first time since week 3 (yay!), but a couple injuries, and one player riding the pine. An absolute ClusterDuck.
You can't have a post about standout players and not mention Antonio Brown this week. He put up a career high, Pittsburg Steeler franchise record for 284 receiving yards and 22 rushing yards. Sure he fumbled, but he still put up big numbers and won the game. The Vinegar Strokes did the same 3 players with 71% of his score, he stumbled with some of his lineup but he put up big numbers where it counted and won the game.
Not in my Hauschka (Lamar Miller) v. Rozzie Square (Gronk): Rozzie Square? Not in my Hauschka!!
Rozzie Square is all over the board. Sometime she kicks ass, sometimes she forgets to set her lineup. Rob Gronkowski knows something about being all over the map. He has ranged from 27.40 points (week 1) to 4.70 points (week 9). It be easier if this were a steady decline, but its not. Gronk is literally all over the map, just like Rozzie Square - seriously, someone point that out to me on a map.
Not in my Hauschka is excelling. She picked up in week 7 and things have turned around. Lamar Miller rushed for 44 yards, received another 97 and scored 2 touchdowns. That's worth 26.10 points in case you were wondering.
Kiegl Titans (Brees) v. Canning Queen (Lesser Manning): The Titans blow past the Queen on a brisk Fall Brees.
The Kiegl Titans' QB, Drew Brees has not been a guy you depend on this season, and the Titans' - up until recently that is - have been a guaranteed win for her opponent. But just like the Titans, Brees seems to have turned it around. Brees threw for 3 TDs and 387 yards, its looking like Brees, and the Titans may be back in action.
I've been all about the Manning brothers for some time, clearly the Greater Manning (Peyton) is my favorite, but lesser Manning (Eli) has really been impressing me lately. Unfortunately, its tough to get out from under someone's shadow. Canning Queen has been a lot like lesser Manning, she's good...just not enough to outshine her opponent. Eli threw for 213 yards and 2 TDs, which was enough for a NY win, but only brought the Queen 12.42 points.
Clitboner (Bye Week) v. Bout That Action (Brandon Cooks): Clear winner here: Bout That Action
For Bout that Action it has been all about finding her stride. Brandon Cooks started out the 15/16 season on a decidedly slow note, but in the last couple weeks he has found his way to consistency. This week he caught 4 of his 6 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. It's not just about being good enough, its about getting your poop in a group and figuring out how to play the game every week.
Clitboner's case in point was a tough call. Should it be Marshawn Lynch? He was on a bye week. Or maybe Russell Wilson? He was on a bye week. No, it should definitely be Eric Ebron - he was on a bye week too. Case In Point: Bye week players bring you zero points.
Eskimo Brothers (Poke in the Eye) v. The Legend (Adrian Peterson): The Legend sings his redemption song.
The Legend was looking to redeem his status this week, Adrian Peterson has been about redemption all season. And they've both made good progress this week. Peterson had his season high carry for 125 yards, the Minnesota QB, Teddy Bridgewater, went down mid game with a concussion, bringing in a fresh QB and setting Peterson up to handle most of Minnesota's offense. 20.30 points for the game, great way to say "Yeah, I think I'm back!"
The Eskimo Brothers are trying to figure out what happened this week. And to be fair so is pretty much his entire team. 2 RBs, 3 WR and a TE brought 24.5 points back to the igloo. Ouch. Sure his defense brought in 22.20 points, but when the Broncos CB Aqib Talib decided to poke Dwayne Allen in the eyeball - ruining any opportunity for Denver to come back - you have to wonder, what just happened?
