Leonard's League 16/17 - Week Nine

Lets take a look at the leaderboard!

Currently at 7-2 and 991.24 points scored, Bobbum Man is our leader.  He won this week's high scoring match up against The Vinegar Strokes with 141.78 points.  Melvin Gordon rushed for 196 yards and a TD, that is one impressive game. By Gordon and Bobbum.


Currently in second place, also with a 7-2 record (though with fewer total points scored 889.84) is Victorious Secret.  She took down Your Wife My Kids with a beautiful performance by Dak Prescott (247 passing yards, 3 TDs and 20 rushing yards).  She did have several players score below expected: Crabtree, Booker, and Barnidge all scored 3 or less.  Ultimately, it didn't matter - the Chiefs brought in 18.90 points with 2 sacks and an interception and Jay Ajayi had a 111 yard night.  Careful Bobbum, Victorious will take you down and smile while she does it.  She means business!


After defeating The Demogorgon, Rozzie Square is on a three win streak.  She also had three players score zero this week.  All that is fitting, since she's in third place.  Mike Evans continues to be a strong part of her lineup, 150 receiving yards and two TDs, for 27 points on Thursday night.  From there things just got better for her, why bother starting players who will play when you have three players score over 21 points?  Three is definitely her lucky number.



Your Wife My Kids lost to Victorious Secret and dropped a spot into 4th.  YWMK didn't really have any standouts this week, his whole team was consistently...Meh.  Although Johnathan Stewart did manage to get only 42 yards from 15 touches.  That is a bit of a standout, just not a good one.  At least he is confident!



The Kiegl Titans used those muscles and jumped up to spots on the leader board to 5th.  In the process she leaped over Mocha's Maniacs by a slim 6.02 margin.  Mike Wallace had 124 yards and a TD for a very respectable 18.40 points - his best game of the year.  And with the Patriots on a bye, the Titans subbed in the lesser Manning for Brady and he brought in 20.88 points.  Why couldn't he do that when The Demogorgon had him?


In Your Endo lost to I'll Drink to That, putting him in into 6th place.  This was a close game only 1.34 points declaring I'll Drink to That as the winner.  The good thing for Endo is that he managed to zip up his perfect lineup, which means he did the best he could.  The sad thing is his best wasn't good enough.  Just like his RB Terrance West, 27 yards on 16 touches?  Your best isn't good enough West!


The Legend dropped into 7th with his loss to the EBDB BnB.  His QB, Jameis Winston (I'll admit I had NO idea who that was till today) had a solid game on behalf of the Buccaneers (oh!  That's why I didn't know him) with 3 TDs and 19.80 points.  His issue this week was underperformance of some normally solid players - Dez Bryant (1.90), Demaryius Thomas (5.60), Emmanual Sanders (4.70).  If its any consolation those 12 points you left with LeSean McCoy on the bench wouldn't have saved you...


I'll Drink to That beat down In Your Endo this week kicking herself up 2 spots into 8th this week.  Her standout this week was Rishard Matthews with 2TDs and 63 rushing yards.  Her win is even more impressive when you realize that she left 5.70 points on the bench by leaving Tyler Lockett out.  I'd call it a Jimmy Graham moment - Vinegar knows all about that this week.


Mocha's Maniacs dropped to 9th in her loss to the Kiegl Titans.  It wasn't a bad week for her 90.66, but it wasn't enough.  Her downfall was starting Derrick Henry...who is out with a strained calf.  Pretty sure she could have picked up an RB capable of making up the 6.02 difference.  Bummer.  9th place officially places the Maniacs on the playoff bubble. Bust out a knife and cut someone...you got this you Maniac you!


Despite a measly 9.60 points from Cam Newton, EBDB BnB defeated The Legend and moved up to 10th place.  Julio Jones had a great game, 111 yards and a TD but nobody is surprised by Julio.  Travis Benjamin's knee injury and 0.50 points was a disappointment.  But 10th place is a rough spot.  EBDB - you can't rely on a diversified business venture to get you through the season.   You've got to focus, where's your drive man?!


The Vinegar Strokes are in eleventh place.  He had a great game this week - seriously - Latavius Miller (30.70), Jimmy Graham (22.30) and Mark Ingram (29.10) all kicked ass.  Did everyone see those one handed catches by Jimmy!?  Pass Interference?  No thanks.  Jimmy will just catch it.  Unfortunately, 136.16 wasn't enough to win Vinegar's match up.  If he'd played anybody else he would have won this week, but he went up against Bobbum Man so....yeah....



Dead last is the Demogorgon.  She went up against Rozzie Square who started TWO players on a bye and one injured player who didn't take the field.  The Demogorgon is 1-8.  Ouch.


Is this a bad time to bring up the fact that playoffs start Week 15 and only the top 8 make it?
