The Snoodler vs. The Chefs
How the false mighty have fallen - let me tell you grandchildren, there was a time when the leaves were still green when a mighty team called the Snoodlers roamed the earth at 2-0, but then winter came and the hearts of good men froze, and with it, the Snoodlers disappeared into the woods of mediocre seasons, never to be seen again. The Chefs are the champion to choose this week.
Gone in 30 Mintues vs. Chewbacca DST
With the resurgence of Paul's team, suddenly these matchups of middling records make all the difference. Anything past five losses puts any team at a serious disadvantage of making the top five so a win this week for either is crucial. Ryan has a clear QB advantage, but Paul's RBs are better and the WRs are roughly equal with the exception that Mike Wallace actually did something and Amendola can't tie his shoelaces without hurting himself - and that's sadly the difference-maker here - Ryan squeezes by this week.
The Lonesome Kicker vs. Dirty D
Bye weeks have been a real bitch for Ian - they've turned a normally sturdy fantasy team inside out - and this week continues the trend. With the likes of Moreno, Decker and Cruz tunnelling their noses through mountains of cocaine this weekend, Miller has to ride Tolbert and Heward-Bey - poster children of barely there football. Dennis also has to replace some players, but the decline is clearly not as steep as Thomas and Jones are dependable replacements, if only for a week. Miller's team continues to take a fantasy beating.
Ngata Chance vs. Downs Burns
This up and down season is the most entertaining of roller coasters, and while some winners are now suffering, some people who struggled out of the gate are now seeing success. Take Wayne for instance - with Newton's annual slow start over, his team is truly looking good - even Manning's general shittiness is not as bad now. That said, Lindsay isn't hit quite as hard with bye weeks and only loses Jones Drew and Fitzgerald, not exactly players to weep about. Other than the wildcard with Geno Smith, the rest of team is reasonably solid, especially when playing a guy with only one running back. It's a close one because Wayne's ceiling is higher, but he's hurt by the lack of running backs - Lindsay wins.
Breesus Christ Superstars vs The North
Now the younger Miller takes on unsteady Larry in another important who's moving up and who's moving down matchup. Without Manning, Larry team is clearly not the same - and if it was any other opponent, he'd probably have a chance since the rest of his team isn't bad. That said, the rest of Bryan's team other than decent QBs is pretty good, if not great of late. While it's no walk in the park, I think Bryan's team goes all Mighty Morphin on Larry this week.
