PAC-10 Week 6 Recap

Summary

Why do we even play fantasy football? What’s the meaning of all this? Why are we here? We put our hearts and souls into a children’s game? For what? Here’s a fun fact for y’all: my team has the same record as the 1-5 Patriots. Times like these make me yearn for the glory days of 2020, when I could trade my way to the top and bulldoze through this league of bums. Anyways, this week saw several exciting matchups come down to the wire. With AJ being the outlier (as he often is), fantasy scores across the board hit an all time low, allowing Lorcan and Kiran to pull off remarkable upsets over Dean and Ian. In fact, all three of the 4-1 teams were beaten this week as the scriptwriters continue to spice things up for the playoff race. Could the scriptwriters have Aidan running the table and winning it all? Unlikely but not impossible. I give my team a better shot than the Pats.

Aidan v. AJ

Aidan put up a respectable 130 points with his new-look team and saw huge performances from Raheem Mostert and Cooper Kupp. Unfortunately, this was also the week Aayush’s group of bums decided to actually play and put up 174 in total. Amon-ra finally looked like the top WR Aayush traded for, and his 30 points actually outmatched his trading counterpart Cooper Kupp’s 27. Aidan was hindered by lackluster quarterback play, two missed Jake Moody field goals, and new acquisition Deebo going down early. It seems that Aidan’s team will continue to build off this upward momentum next week against Dean. When asked by reporters after the game, Aidan said “don’t let us get one” Even with this big win, did AJ do enough to crack the top 5 in the power rankings? TBD…

Dean v. Lorcan

In his first performance after being named PR1, Dean regressed to his former fraudulent ways. I asked this guy to not let me down and he did with 119 points. Where was Jamarr Chase? Why was he starting Jake Ferguson? Dean’s QB played like they were from MIDdletown, Delaware while Dak was sitting on his bench with 24. With the exception of Dalvin Cook, Lorkizzy turned in an all-round solid performance to improve to 3-3. If Stefon Diggs keeps up his elite pace and Kyle Pitts continues to score TDs, this squad might be scary in December.

Ian v. Kiran

In a matchup with a Giordano’s deep dish pizza on the line, Ian’s team looked crusty as hell while Kiran walked away with the big cheese. In an early Sunday morning move, Kiran arose from his slumber to sub in Chuba Hubbard, an elite managerial play that ultimately gave him the win. Hubbard delivered 16 points, Michael Pittman drizzled a golden shower of 20 points, and Harrison Butker added 17 because why the fuck not. Overall, it was a huge win for Kiran as he looks to avoid the deep dark pit of Sacko despair. After such an ugly performance from Ian, the fanbase has started to wonder: does Ian pee sitting down? Does he paint his nails? To be determined.

Nikith v. Vamsi

I’m not sure if this is accurate but I’m gonna call this game the Battle of the Brahmins. Once again, Vamsi has proven he is a Mickey Mouse Brahmin who continues to fall in the caste system. His 98 points was one of the most dogshit performances of the season and we can pretty much already count this guy out of the playoff race. Nikith’s march to take all our money continues, but 118 points isn’t gonna cut it against some of the fiercer competition in the league. The health of his top RBs, CMC and Kyren Williams, will be very important to monitor over the coming weeks.

Saagar v. Pete

In a matchup between future NY roommates, Saagar outlasted Pete with one arm behind his back and Justin Jefferzyn out. Even with Justzyn Fields getting a boo-boo on his little thumb, Saagar’s huge games from Thielen, Tua, and CeeDee were too much for Pete to handle. Pete did tickle Saagar’s nutsack with his mustache as the game came down to the wire on Monday night, but Saagar’s One World Trade Center was ultimately too explosive.
