We got 2 teams trying to stay undefeated and 2 teams trying to get their first win..and everyone else in between. Here's this week's matchups and predictions
Easy Beasley (2-1) vs
Catch My Javelin! (0-3)
All Time Record: Kenny leads series 6-5
Key Players
Easy Beasley: Marcus Mariota (Texans) Antonio Brown (Ravens) Jarvis Landry (Saints) Jay Ajayi (Saints) Christian McCaffrey (Patriots) Travis Kelce (Redskins)
Catch My Javelin!: Alshon Jeffrey (Chargers) Doug Baldwin* (Colts) Odell Beckham Jr. (Bucs) Kareem Hunt (Redskins) Jordan Howard (Packers) Jordan Reed* (Chiefs)
Wild Cards
Easy Beasley: None really
Catch My Javelin: Difficult matchup for Alshon Jeffrey. Doug Baldwin's health. Jordan Reed's health. Jordan Howard's Health. Thursday Night Plays.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: I win
I Say: Kenny wins. The narrative for this matchup is so obvious and predictable it's eye rolling to be honest. Kenny's coming off a 61 point week and this is the obvious rebound week with all his players having prime matchups. If you really think Jay Ajayi is going to have 3.5 points against the SAINTS..yeah fucking right. Combine that with a slew of injuries on my side, two Thursday Night Plays (which has historically fucked me in the past) a dart throw at QB (DeShaun Watson) and the possibility the Alshon Jeffrey gets shut down again by an elite CB and I just don't see how I win this week in a MUST WIN SITUATION. 0-4. Sucks for me I guess.
BABY CARROTS (3-0) Vs
Channel 4 News Team (2-1)
All Time Record: Albert Leads Series 8-3
Key Players
BABY CARROTS: Emmanuel Sanders (Raiders) Devante Parker (Saints) Todd Gurley (Cowboys) Dalvin Cook (Lions) Chris Carson (Colts)
Channel 4 News Team: Derek Carr (Broncos) Amari Cooper (Broncos) Golden Tate (Vikings) Stefon Diggs (Lions) Carlos Hyde (Cardinals) LeSean McCoy (Falcons) Ty Montgomery (Bears)
Wild Cards
BABY CARROTS: Cam at QB? Is Chris Carson the Real Deal?
Channel 4 News Team: Tough Matchups for Carr/Cooper/Hyde.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Albert wins
I Say: Drew wins. At first glance I was going to give this to Albert, because there's no way I can see this team starting 1-3...but damn the more I look at Drew's team I think he can pull of the W and stay undefeated. Here's the big wild card. Chris Carson. If he's legit, then Drew has a scary 3 man trio at Running Back. Drew's only weakness is at QB, but if his other guys can mask that weakness, he might be able to pull of the win. This should definitely be a close one.
Hoosier Daddy (3-0) vs
BigBadBob (1-2)
All Time Record: Dad Leads Series 4-3
Key Players
Hoosier Daddy: Kirk Cousins (Chiefs) Michael Crabtree (Broncos) Ezekiel Elliott (Rams) Leonard Fournette (Jets) DeSean Jackson (Giants)
BigBadBob: Aaron Rodgers (Bears) DeAndre Hopkins (Titans) Devante Adams (Bears) Devonta Freeman (Bills)
Wild Cards
Hoosier Daddy: Willie Snead's return. Tight End Play.
BigBadBob: Is Crowell any good? Tight End Play.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Dad wins
I Say: Ryan wins. Dad is a .06 favorite so it's really close, but I'm go with Ryan staying undefeated. I just think Ryan has the slightly better team and his team as a whole will get the job done.
SCLSU MudDogs (1-2) vs
No Soup For You (1-2)
All Time Record: Series is tied 2-2
Key Players
SCLSU MudDogs: Drew Brees (Dolphins) Larry Fitzgerald (49ers) Sammy Watkins* (Cowboys) Le'Veon Bell (Ravens) Marshawn Lynch (Broncos)
No Soup For You: Matt Ryan (Bills) A.J. Green (Browns) Keenan Allen (Eagles) Michael Thomas (Dolphins) Lamar Miller (Titans)
Wild Cards
SCLSU MudDogs: Sammy Watkins health. Can all the receivers produce at a high level again?
No Soup For You: Running Back Production
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Leland wins
I Say: Leland wins. This is another super close matchup with Leland having the receivers advantage, but Alex having the running back advantage and both having strong QB's. I'll take Leland's time by a hair though. Super important matchup as one of these teams in guaranteed to fall to 1-3.
Rocket Man (2-1) vs
Shock The Monkey (2-1)
All Time Record: Series is tied 2-2
Key Players
Rocket Man: Matthew Stafford (Vikings) Julio Jones (Bills) Kelvin Benjamin*(Patriots) Melvin Gordon (Eagles) C.J. Anderson (Raiders) Rob Gronkowski (Panthers)
Shock The Monkey: Russell Wilson (Colts) Brandin Cooks (Panthers) Tyreek Hill (Redskins) DeMarco Murray (Texans)
Wild Cards
Rocket Man: Will Kelvin Benjamin play?
Shock The Monkey: Playing Two Bills at the same time. DeMarco Murray fully back?
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Eugene Wins.
I Say: Eugene wins. A lot of close matchups with most teams evenly matched this week. I dunno, I feel like Marc has more bustable players than Eugene does (Gilislee is TD or bust, Jordan Mathews and Charles Clay play in such a low scoring offense, will Cooks have another monster game or disappear etc) so I'll give the edge to Eugene this week.
Light's Broken Bots (2-1) vs
Woe Is You (0-3)
All Time Record: Matt leads series 4-3
Key Players
Light's Broken Bots: Tom Brady (Panthers) Dez Bryant (Rams) Jordy Nelson (Bears) Demaryius Thomas (Raiders) Martavis Bryant (Ravens)
Woe Is You: Jameis Winston (Giants) Mike Evans (Giants)
Wild Cards
Light's Broken Bots: RB and Tight End Play
Woe Is You: Basically his entire team outside of Winston/Evans
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Matt wins
I Say: Matt wins. Matt's in such a perfect spot to pad that record as he gets to play Mike's mess of a team. I don't know what to expect from Mike's team this week, maybe they go off and shock the world, but with Tom Brady playing how he's been playing and those receivers, I don't think this will be close at all.
