Going into MNF: Week 7

[joeday]

Gotham City Rogues (PPR): -25.35 with Matt Ryan vs. no players (lost Melvin, Bilal and Breida but Hunt gave me a chance)
Wonder Wharf Wonderdogs (PPR): -28.70 with OBJ, Evan Engram, Giorgio Tavecchio vs. Julio Jones, Sterling Shepard (Not loving my chances but I guess anything is possible)
Klunebergs (PPR): +32.55 with no players vs. Ito Smith, Calvin Ridley (byes and injuries hurt me this week but I still have a chance)
Kegel the Elf (PPR): -28.70 with Saquon Barkley, Tevin Coleman, Julio Jones vs. Matt Ryan (need a big game from Barkley to close the gap)
Burger Boss 3 (PPR): +14.85 with Saquon Barkley vs. Tevin Coleman (should be ok here)
West Mifflin Smart Watch (PPR): +41.60 with OBJ vs. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones (If Julio and OBJ cancel each other out I should be ok)

In the leagues already completed (or in control one way or the other) I am 14-2. I think I could realistically go 17-5 this week. How is everyone else looking this week?

Fist of Damocles (5-0) [stand scoring]: -4.08 with Saquon Barkley -vs- no one {feel pretty good here as only Barkley missing the flight to ATL would likely keep him this low in scoring!}

Sword of Damocles (3-3) [stand scoring]: +27.96 with no one -vs- Julio Jones {any other WR I'd feel great but Julio is a guy who can explode, as long as he stays out of the end zone I should be ok}

Ninja Kittens (2-4) [PPR]: -19.00 with Odell Beckham -vs- no one {in previous years this should be a lock for a win, this year a coin flip}

Jolly Rogers (3-3) [PPR]: -33.00 with Odell Beckham -vs- no one {sadly I'll need a miracle here and I don't believe in Eli! lol}

Crouching Kittens (5-1) [stand scoring,low IDP scoring,miscue penalties]: +36.55 with no one -vs- Tevin Coleman, Evan Engram & Brian Poole {hard to say here, if Coleman/Engram have reasonably productive nights I'm probably finished unless one of them fumbles, for now it's a coin flip}

Banzai Runners (4-2) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: +70.38 with no one -vs- Saquon Barkley, Calvin Ridley & Alec Ogletree {Ridley will probably be the key here, if he has a big day I'll lose otherwise I'll probably win}

Norse of Course (4-2) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: -12.26 with Janoris Jenkins -vs- Takk McKinley {given the scoring I need Takk to have a modest day and Jenkins to have a good one, a single sack by Takk will probably end it for me, likely a loss}

Men In Black (3-3) [0.5PPR w/ret yds & avg IDP]: -19.65 with Foyesade Oluokun -vs- no one {given the def scoring Oluokun would have to have a whale of a game for this to be a win, expecting a loss here}

Midwest Dragonmasters (5-1) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: +9.04 with no one -vs- Brian Poole {all but over already, only way I win this is if they bench Poole!}

Yankee Meteors (3-3) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: +16.36 with no one -vs- Grady Jarrett {another coin flip, if Jarrett is back to speed this week I'll likely lose, if he is still less than 100% I may manage to steal a win}

I play in 24 leagues {mix of redraft, keeper and dynasty}, in leagues that are final or out of hand I'm looking at 10-4, in the contested games it doesn't look that great 2-4 with 4 coin flips, feels like an average week overall for me, but that's the way the season has been going so no new tale to tell there! lol

Will be an interesting one, and I need the Giants to play well for once

I'm down by 17 with OBJ and Barkley left. Unfortunately he also has Julio remaining, as well as Falcons D (with higher scoring and higher chance of 0 points)

I think I need Barkley to take out that 17 point deficit and Falcons D, and OBJ to flat out outscore Julio or be within 5 if Falcons D allows 24+ points and no more than 1 turnover and 2 sacks

[Jigga94]

26.5 from Barkley. I'm confident

[JJRules]

I need 33 points from Ito Smith, so I'm almost certainly headed to 2-5 :/

[grooner]

Not a great week from me. 1-4 in games already decided (one is a rebuild so a lose is like a win so maybe 2-3?)

In the one game still undecided I am down 19.06 points with Ryan left. Should be close but he has eclipsed that in 4/6, so hoping he does. If I had just started Luck I would have already won:(

[Blueboy]

Almost no time left, and I'm up 143.90 vs 143.80. He's got Ridley, I've got Shepard.

[Jigga94]

Almost no time left, and I'm up 143.90 vs 143.80. He's got Ridley, I've got Shepard.

Good luck! Need 2 more from Barkley...

[Blueboy]

Almost no time left, and I'm up 143.90 vs 143.80. He's got Ridley, I've got Shepard.

Good luck! Need 2 more from Barkley...

Man, I am lucky that Shepard is as good as he is.

[Jigga94]

Almost no time left, and I'm up 143.90 vs 143.80. He's got Ridley, I've got Shepard.

Good luck! Need 2 more from Barkley...

Man, I am lucky that Shepard is as good as he is.

Hes great! Barkley won it for me by 0.1 on that 2 pt conversion. Congrats to both of us haha

Made it with that OBJ touchdown at 5 sec remaining after Elis two qb sneak failures

[KCLep20]

I lost by 0.4 points and broke my winning streak...son of a!!

[BlackOmega]

Fist of Damocles (5-0) [stand scoring]: -4.08 with Saquon Barkley -vs- no one {feel pretty good here as only Barkley missing the flight to ATL would likely keep him this low in scoring!}
= started to wonder on this but finally took the lead just before halftime and then hovered there most of the game as Barkley gained and lost yards until near the end, win by 13 points

Sword of Damocles (3-3) [stand scoring]: +27.96 with no one -vs- Julio Jones {any other WR I'd feel great but Julio is a guy who can explode, as long as he stays out of the end zone I should be ok}
=quiet night for Julio so won here by 20 points

Ninja Kittens (2-4) [PPR]: -19.00 with Odell Beckham -vs- no one {in previous years this should be a lock for a win, this year a coin flip}
=looked bleak as the minutes ticked down but OBJ catching the 15 yarder near the end of the game just sealed the 9 point win

Jolly Rogers (3-3) [PPR]: -33.00 with Odell Beckham -vs- no one {sadly I'll need a miracle here and I don't believe in Eli! lol}
=actually came closer than I thought, only lost by 5 at the end

Crouching Kittens (5-1) [stand scoring,low IDP scoring,miscue penalties]: +36.55 with no one -vs- Tevin Coleman, Evan Engram & Brian Poole {hard to say here, if Coleman/Engram have reasonably productive nights I'm probably finished unless one of them fumbles, for now it's a coin flip}
=modest night by all three kept me ahead for a 19 point win

Banzai Runners (4-2) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: +70.38 with no one -vs- Saquon Barkley, Calvin Ridley & Alec Ogletree {Ridley will probably be the key here, if he has a big day I'll lose otherwise I'll probably win}
=again modest days {relatively speaking} from all three players left me with a 27 point win

Norse of Course (4-2) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: -12.26 with Janoris Jenkins -vs- Takk McKinley {given the scoring I need Takk to have a modest day and Jenkins to have a good one, a single sack by Takk will probably end it for me, likely a loss}
=game over mid 2nd quarter when Takk got a sack, Jenkins played well and in the end the score didn't budge, 13 point loss

Men In Black (3-3) [0.5PPR w/ret yds & avg IDP]: -19.65 with Foyesade Oluokun -vs- no one {given the def scoring Oluokun would have to have a whale of a game for this to be a win, expecting a loss here}
=as expected the rookie played ok but this league scoring still left me with a 15 point loss

Midwest Dragonmasters (5-1) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: +9.04 with no one -vs- Brian Poole {all but over already, only way I win this is if they bench Poole!}
=amazingly held on to a 4 point win, makes me a little nervous for a stat correction but so far so good

Yankee Meteors (3-3) [PPR w/ret yds & balanced IDP]: +16.36 with no one -vs- Grady Jarrett {another coin flip, if Jarrett is back to speed this week I'll likely lose, if he is still less than 100% I may manage to steal a win}
=this was over fast as Jarrett got a sack early in the first quarter and followed it with another late in the 2nd quarter, ended up losing by 10 to a previously 0-6 team!

I play in 24 leagues {mix of redraft, keeper and dynasty}, in leagues that are final or out of hand I'm looking at 10-4, in the contested games it doesn't look that great 2-4 with 4 coin flips, feels like an average week overall for me, but that's the way the season has been going so no new tale to tell there! lol

after the dust of the close games cleared I finished the week 16-8 which is one of my better weeks this year, for the season I stand at 105-65 across all leagues

[SteelLake]

Was down 21 with Hooper and Giorgio left. Won on the 56 yard fg . Pretty important since we are fighting each other for playoff spot.

[joeday]

Gotham City Rogues (PPR): -25.35 with Matt Ryan vs. no players (lost Melvin, Bilal and Breida but Hunt gave me a chance) lost by less than 3...that play action to Smith toward the end of the game probably would have won it for me.

Wonder Wharf Wonderdogs (PPR): -28.70 with OBJ, Evan Engram, Giorgio Tavecchio vs. Julio Jones, Sterling Shepard (Not loving my chances but I guess anything is possible) lost by 19...never got much traction

Klunebergs (PPR): +32.55 with no players vs. Ito Smith, Calvin Ridley (byes and injuries hurt me this week but I still have a chance) Pulled this one out with some breathing room

Kegel the Elf (PPR): -28.70 with Saquon Barkley, Tevin Coleman, Julio Jones vs. Matt Ryan (need a big game from Barkley to close the gap) shocked I was able to pull this one out...everyone did what they needed to.

Burger Boss 3 (PPR): +14.85 with Saquon Barkley vs. Tevin Coleman (should be ok here) had this one wrapped up easily

West Mifflin Smart Watch (PPR): +41.60 with OBJ vs. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones (If Julio and OBJ cancel each other out I should be ok) same with this one

In the leagues already completed (or in control one way or the other) I am 14-2. I think I could realistically go 17-5 this week. How is everyone else looking this week?

Ended up going 18-4
