Congrats to Top Scorer...TIU
WINNER’S CIRCLE! -
So nice to be among a winning group, with winning ways, winning teams, winning players! You make DFFL a shining example for all those who yearn to understand the makeup of a platinum dynasty fantasy league in these trying fantasy production times! Congratulations to:
(TIU⭐⭐🛡️🛡️), (TMW⭐⭐⭐🛡️), (UGG⭐⭐⭐🦶🛡️), (JWW⭐⭐), (DNF⭐⭐⭐), and (MTT⭐), in order of points scored (Look, Ma, you made it MTT!).
DEATH BY THOUSANDS CUTS -
So sad for those loser teams who are one week closer to rebuilding their loser ways, abandoning loser players, and even changing their loser names than they even realize #loo-oo-oo-sers. Better luck next week for:
(RAF⭐), (KED⭐⭐⭐⭐🦶🛡️), (DMM⭐), (CAB), (PTS🦶), and (NUT🦶)… in order of losing points scored in sad, sad losses (time for nuclear option, NUT?).
(KEY: 🛡️-Top 5 Defense/ST, 🦶-Top 5 Kicker, ⭐-Top 5 Player Q/R/W/T)
AWARDS -
Need a new tire from that blowout?
- TIU(2) with a 76 point win over DMM gets this week’s blowout
Accolades. Honorable mention goes to TMW for his whooping of
KED by over 61 points!
2022: RAF (1), DNF (1), UGG (1), TIU (2)
Historical: JWW 139.88
Need some oil to fix that squeaker?
- JWW (1) beat RAF by just over 12 meager points to achieve the closest win this week. JWW barely beat back a Monday Night Mahomsian slugfest and likely worked “behind the scenes” to ensure Waller stayed out of the game…otherwise this could have been a squeaker going the other way….i digress; save this for W/C/S.
2022: NUT (1), UGG (2), DMM (1), JWW (1)
Historical: CAB and RAF (“the tie”)
Show him the money!
- TIU (1) scored 203.76 to get the high score and $50.00 prize money. This is the highest score of the season so far, besting TMW’s 203.08 score back in Week 2. Congrats to TIU for achieving that feat! Speaking of, TWW gets the honorable mention for scoring barely under 200 points this week.
2022: PTS (1), TMW (1), UGG (2), TIU (1)
Historical: DNF 246.5
RAF-It-Up - When your best not only isn’t good enough, it just plain sucks!
- NUT (1) gets this week’s short bus for traveling to and from Fantasy Football meetings, scoring a simpleton 110.94 points in his loss to MTT this week. As a result, I will not be sending a vignette to PTS, as they blew NUT out of the water with their 120.22 score! This award is much like that Mad TV segment, Lowered Expectations. I might have to change at some point…I hate 2-time Champ RAF franchise was named after this underachiever award…but I digress…again.
2022: TMW (1), JWW (1), PTS (1), MTT (1), NUT (1)
Historical: OIE 66.04 (MTT before MTT)
This ain’t horseshoes or hand grenades.
- RAF (1) with 156.28 gets this participation award, thanklessly achieving the highest score for a losing team. Had Waller, St.Brown, or Conner played even 25% of Sleeper projections things woulda been different…W/C/S.
2022: CAB (1) , PTS (1), DMM (1), TIU (1), RAF (1)
Historical: JWW 200.88
Better lucky?
- MTT (1) posted the lowest score in a win this week, busting NUT…’s score by just under 14 points. Luck goes a long way in DFFL, and particularly among the underachievers division, HOPS. So, I’m telling MTT he has a chance to be a Division winner this year. Best of LUCK!
2022: UGG (1), NUT (1), RAF (1), DMM (1), MTT (1)
Historical: CAB 102.7
Ford, Chevy, or Ram?
- Best pickup or start / sit decision (s)…JWW (3) gets this award an unprecedented third time by starting Cousins over Goff this week. All week long JWW kept Goff at QB, and why wouldn’t he? Goff has been scoring like no tomorrow! Well, that ended in Week 5, and JWW saw it coming. He decided family is more reliable than any Lions QB in October, going with his Cousins to get a close win versus RAF. Congratulations to JWW for becoming a DFFL juggernaut overnight, because, well…he seems to know what he’s doing. This is fast becoming a WonderWorld Award…we’ll see.
2022: NUT (1), UGG (1), JWW (3)
Historical: EJT 58.25 “FitzMagic” (EJT was prior KAK?? PTS??)
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.
- NUT (1) gets this week’s WCS award for NOT listening to Fantasy Gods’ reason and leaving stud running back, BREECE HALL on his bench. If NUT Woulda started Hall, he Coulda got 31.70 more points to go on and win this week’s matchup with MTT. He Shoulda played Hall…but alas, he didn’t; instead going with a litany of gomers that couldn’t get fantasy points if they were handed them. Honorable mention goes to RAF for trusting Amon Ra St. Brown would be full strength, and not on a snap count for ankle injury. Had RAF started Hilliard (RB) and TMW’s favorite TE, Engram, he would have easily surpassed the JWW Sunday night lead.
2022: DMM (1), TMW (1) , JWW (1), MTT (1), PTS (1), TIU (1), NUT (1)
Titanic Deck Chairs (Making “Bold” moves in spite of “assured” disaster…but I’m unsinkable!?!)
Maiden award for those of us who feel the need to make transactions, only to realize it helps/helped us not. This will likely only go to losers with losing records each week, but even winners can achieve this award if the move is #SMH enough.
- RAF (1) and CAB (1) sat down in their evening best, swapped stories of championship lore, and sank, as gentlemen, into the cold dark ocean of fantasy irrelevancy this week. RAF and CAB made an historic trade, or titanic proportions…swapping rising star Jalen Waddle (WR) and The Mahomes (QB) among these storied DFFL franchises. What they couldn’t have known, what seemed unlikely at the time, was that swapping these “deck chairs” aboard flailing Week 5 Loser Teams ultimately meant nothing for surviving the cold October watery grave for which they ultimately descended…glub, glub, glub..
2022: PTS (1), RAF (1), CAB (1)
ON TO NEXT WEEK, FELLOW FEROCIOUS FIGHTING FANTASY FEASTERS!!
~RAF
