The Week 5 Scores

The Standings

Awesemo finally lost his first week of the season to Pat “ThePME” Mayo, who rode a 41-point Michael Thomas performance to victory. Not sure if Pat was getting his fantasy advice from Tim Andercust this week or what, but he left 65 points sitting on that bench (D.J. Chark, Josh Jacobs), in favor of Geronimo Allison and Wayne Gallman. I’m guessing those two will feature heavily in Pat Mayo’s lineup moving forward.

Biggest Blowout

Manny “I selected DeAndre Hopkins ahead of Christian McCaffrey” Lora, just laying down the hammer right now with a dominating 198.5-point performance over J.J. Zachariason, who never had a chance. Manny is tied for first with our own Alex ‘Awesemo’ Baker.

Worst Beat

Poor Chris Spags would have beaten all but two teams this week with his 163 points. Unfortunately Spags went up against juggernaut Nolan “RollinWithNolan” Kelly whose team features too many good running backs to play week in and week out. Better luck next week, Spags!

Trade Discussions

Six weeks in and not a trade to speak of. Rumors spread last week of a possible deal between Nolan Kelly and Evan Silva—with Silva stacked at receiver and Nolan at running back, but Silva kiboshed them, stating outright that he’s not looking to deal neither Tyreek Hill nor Odell “The Human Fumble” Beckham Jr. for a running back.

This league can’t go an entire year without someone pulling the trigger, can it???

Wide Receivers are GOLD in this league. That was my main takeaway from the draft. Currently there are only TWO wide receivers on the waiver wire who have more than 15% Yahoo ownership.

Last Week’s Waiver Wire

Much ado about nothing — just three moves in total. I may have overbid for A.J. Brown, but it’s six bucks, so I’m not gonna lose any sleep. That Philadelphia defense did me goooooood though.
