So has Miller given up and checked out of the league? Just wondering, since haven't seen any of the post match commentaries for a few weeks, unless that's just me? Also rostering 3 players on IR, so not sure VietCampo fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Nov 2, 2016 |

 blue squares (temp name) vs Mods Knew With a shockingly bad performance from Tom Brady and all of Mods Knew’s RB corps, not even a combined 48.8 points from tight ends could help surpass Blue’s 161.9 points. Honestly, this is one of the most bizarre team efforts I’ve ever seen in fantasy football. Aside from Kerley shaking off a series of bad weeks, every WR and RB was a complete dud, and yet someone who started two TEs had them both go off. Blue’s team continued its recent upswing in points, with Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson continuing to be an elite pair (despite hilarious failure in reality). I mostly won this game because Bilal Powell got lucky with a TD (only his second of the season) coming off a trick play, plus Demaryius Thomas also managed to overcome horrific QB play, scoring over 20 for only the second time this season.  Fitz Out for Harambe vs Russell Wilsons Libido RWL suffered only the second loss of the season. 133 points would have beaten four teams this week, but not the 155 that Fitz hauled in. Eli Manning’s dumb face aside, he scored a respectable 24 points, but the big winner this week was #1 overall draft pick Antonio Brown. His garbage time yards against the elite Dallas pass defense helped a lot here, too. Tyreek Hill, a rookie I’ve never heard of whose week to week record ranges from 2.7 to 21.5 (mostly closer to the former) went off this week with 20.1 points, making up for lackluster RB play. RWL’s team was dragged way, way down by the second half of his starting lineup. The only thing worse than Tavon Austin’s game was the actual football game in which he participated. Maybe with Jared Goff coming in, Austin will emerge as an elite WR option. (he won’t). Lance Kendricks has been a reliable TE, but he was another Jeff Fisher victim this week.  Personal Breesus vs Purple Grank It’s not every week that the #1 team in the league gets absolutely blown out. Purple won by over SEVENTY POINTS. That’s more than our league commissioner (AKA the bye week) scored total. Even Gronk getting his lung punctured while failing to do much of anything productive didn’t hurt Purple. Purple’s excellent decision earlier last week to pick up the Ravens D against Cleveland payed off with 16 points, but ultimately didn’t matter. He could have run without a D and still soared to an easy win. Also, hats off to Willie Snead (which sounds like the name of a racist cartoon) for his first excellent game since week 1. Why did Breesus lose? Player bye weeks sidelined SIX of his players, including Frank Gore, who has been fanstastic. Seven of his starting players combined for only 31 points. The other three did okay, but it’s very hard to come back from that. Now that Christine Michael has been CUT from the Seahawks, Breesus is going to have to hope Frank Gore continues his production after returning from his bye week. Breesus has a well-timed bye week against the league commissioner to lick his wounds.  My Doctor Prescribed Weed vs RG THREE DICKS Another wide margin of victory, this time coming between two lovely teams with losing records. RG3 scored the highest out of anyone this week, propelled by a monster Seahawks game and Le’Veon Bell thrashing the elite Dallas D for 34.4 points. Even Tyler Boyd being his usual craptastic self didn’t have an effect on RG3’s domination. Weedman’s two-TE play didn’t work out nearly as well as Mods Knew. Lackluster running backs dragged down his score, too. Ultimately, there was nothing Weed could do this week. No one on his bench scored more than 4 points, and two of his bench slots are empty. In a league this deep, its hard to find much fault with a short-staffed bench (there are few worthwhile pickups available), but a 4-6 team should start thinking about reaching for new players if it wants any hope at squeaking into the playoffs.  Genie in a Bortles vs DAB NATION The closest game this week was won by a team whose defense scored negative six points and whose opponent started a WR on a bye week, plus left two players on the bench that scored a combined 58.9. Those two players would have been enough of a difference over their corresponding starters to have won the matchup and helped Dab hold on to a shot at the playoffs. With this loss and Alshon Jeffery getting suspended for the next four games, Dab’s playoff hopes are looking grim. Genie in a Bortles should have lost just for leaving Bortles on the bench in a week when he outscored the starting QB, but Ezekial Elliot, assisted by the elite Dallas O-line, scored an unbelievable 40.9 points. That’s over 30% of the points scored by the entire team. The rest of the team was garbage, no one else even scoring over 17 points, and yet they collectively won the day. Disgusting.  Bang Bang (BYE WEEK) Bang Bang had the week off. His players, in their exhibition match, scored a collective 144.1 points. Ty Montgomery, who went from being a WR to being a RB, had a whopping three carries. Never trust Mike McCarthy run games. Ben Roethlisberger had a nice day despite facing the elite Dallas pass rush, but he could have scored zero points and Bang Bang would still have been fine. Bang Bang needs to win next week to avoid being tied for second place with blue squares, who currently has the edge in points for.

Good writeups, blue squares. Although I would prefer if you would refer to my team as "scrappy underdogs" rather than as a "garbage team". And like I'm supposed to trust loving Bortles.

It's on majority vote, isn't it? If he vanishes completely, I think we can get Leaguesafe to pay it out appropriately. Last year he had it on commissioner decides and he took a while to pay it out, but did eventually.

So I'm guessIng his team In this league hasn't gone the way he was hoping and he's just completely given up on this league.

I had the writeups this week but I was too lazy for pictures so you get a wall of text: Touchdown There vs. Personal Breesus 22.2 vs 146.6 Breesus had the luxury of a BYE week facing our missing in action commissioner TDT, aka the Browns of fantasy. To his credit his team did well with his namesake Drew Brees scoring 19.4 against CAR and throwing to Michael Thomas who scored 11.8. Breesus could have benched the rest of his lineup and still won. Mods Knew vs. Bang Bang 98.9 vs 114.8 Bang Bang extended his record to 8 wins defeating Mods Knew fairly handily. Bang is now in 1 game back in 3rd place and in the hunt for a potential bye. Roethlisberger had a disappointing week capturing only 8.7 points despite playing the Browns, however Bang's WR unit (Evans, Landry, Moncrief) was solid with 16.5, 13.8, and 13.7 points respectively and the team was buoyed by Riddick (16.3) and Ebron's (16.1) performances against Jacksonville. Mods team was carried by Tom Brady (36.4) but he wasn't enough to overcome the rest of the team not scoring more than 13.6 points (Gurley) and 2 straight up duds (Kerley and the Chiefs D). Sorry Mods but quarterbacks aren't always the best. Dab Nation vs. Fitz Out for Harambe 119.3 vs. 114.8 The closest matchups of the week are always fun to look at. It looks like the defenses were the deciding factor in this one with Dab's Raiders scoring 5 points and Fitz' Eagles having 0 against the Seahawks. Probably not a great idea to start any defense against the Seahawks at this point unless you have the Rams. Dab's best player was Mariota (26.5) who lucked out against Indy... aka the TDT of defenses. Ted Ginn JR also exceeded expectations scoring 14.9 and Dab got enough out of Prosise (16.1) before his injury. Fitz started Stafford who gave a Fitzpatrick-like performance (11.1), Brown who was respectable (15.6) as usual and Latavius Murray (14.2) who scored just enough to leave both teams sweating out Monday Night's game. Purple Grank vs. Genie in a Bortles 81.7 vs. 146.1 A blowout for Genie who had 3 wide receivers above 20 points (Rishard Matthews, Steve Smith Sr, Julian Edelman) which is ridiculous. Genie also had Elliott who actually had a down week only scoring 16.4, which tied what Bortles put up against Detroit. Grank's decision to start Alex Smith due to Rivers' bye week actually paid off for 21.4 points, but his team suffered from RB Ryan Matthews suffering injury early and only putting up 3 points and 3 duds with Jesse James (1.5), Crabtree (3.5) and the Ravens defense (-2). Even if Grank had started Sharpe (16.8) who rode his bench over Crabs, Genie's team put the score out of reach. Blue Squares vs. RG Three Dicks 150.1 vs. 174 Blue Squares must have horrible luck because he handed in the 2nd highest score of the week and just happened to go against the highest score. Sorry bro you would have won against literally any other team but instead you took a pounding from RG3's dicks. Squares had no player under 8.7 points (Witten) and only him and Boldin (9.7) were under 10. Aaron Rodgers lead the way with 35.3 pts Sunday night against the Redskins and he rounded out his team with the Vikings Defense and Special teams which both scored a TD aginst Arizona on the way to 22. Meanwhile Three Dicks also had a great defensive week (Lions 20 pts) and had 3 other players above 20 points (Wilson, Bell, Baldwin) before rounding it out with good performances from Beasley, Graham and Tyler Boyd, the latter of which was no doubt helped by AJ Green's injury. I have no idea how Three dicks only had three wins coming into the week considering he also had Freeman on his bench with a bye. Russell Wilsons Libido vs. My Doctor Prescribed Weed 134.3 vs 97.7 Weed might want to refill his prescription to ease his suffering as he lost by 36 points to fall to 4-7. Weed's best player was Amari Cooper (15.7), while Beckham Jr only had 9.6 points and joined 3 other players (Lockett, Julius Thomas, Michael Floyd) under 10 points on the week. Newton (14.4) and the Seahawks defense (7) were also somewha disappointing and underperformed expectations albeit the latter losing points during garbage time against the Eagles. Meanwhile, Libido (my dumb team) cried when AJ Green went down with injury making the team's WR core absolute junk outside of Dez Bryant (26) who had been spotty all year but scored 2 TDs against Baltimore. Martellus Bennett can go gently caress himself after only having 1 catch for 2 points despite Gronk's absence and can join Bortles who is so horrible at this point that Hurns (1.9 pts) is going to be riding my bench moving forward. Fat Rob Kelley (31.7) was my saving grace along with Carr who had another great week (27.6) to ensure the win.
