Week 6 Preview
I wish you all knew the pain of losing your best player or starting the wrong player and costing yourself a win. You'll never know the pain I'm feeling right now....
Update on Winless Team
Logan:
Why is he 0-5? 1% Injuries. 1% Underperforming players. 1% Bad starts. 97% Bad Luck.
Will he turn it around? I don't want to say it's too late, but man the window is closing quickly.
Worst Coach of the Week
Nominees:
Brady starting Richardson over Cousins.
Rusty starting Smith over Watson.
Everyone that didn't bid on Jaleel McLaughlin.
Your winner: No one can blame Rusty for that decision. I do find it weird that some of you with basically no RBs put 0 bids down on McLaughlin even if you thought it was a 1 week fill-in. But I take the award for worst decision easily. Lost my undefeated season because I trusted a rookie QB made of glass.
Biggest Busts
QB - Anthony Richardson - Hasn't finished a game all season. Scored less than 8 points while Cousins sat on my bench with 29.
RB - Miles Sanders - What a bust. RB1 on a team that needed an RB and he puts up 1.2. The Panthers and Cord should drop the guy.
WR - Devonte Smith - In the words of the Fantasy Footballers and Matthew Berry, "This looks like a Smith game instead of an AJ Brown game." Man were they wrong. Dude cost Rusty his game singlehandedly.
TE - Jake Ferguson - I should probably give it to Hunter Henry since he scored 0 points, but Ferguson was expected to be better than 4.3 points. Dom still got the win though.
Kicker/ Defense - TIE Cowboys and Patriots - Two of the top touted defenses combined for 0 points. Dallas was considered the top defense and got dominated the entire game. Patriots made the worst offense in the league look like the week 3 Dolphins.

Week 6 Games of the Week:
Aron (5-0) vs Brady (4-1)
I won't want to do this. Trust me. The only two options were Top Dawg vs Top Dawg on the two divisions or Logan vs Clint in a playoff elimination game (not technically but pretty close).
It's a pretty even matchup on paper. ESPN has it within 6 points. I just lost me best player and Aron's best player just found his footing finally.
I think the WRs and TEs cancel each other out this week, so this one comes down to the RBs. Etienne and Montgomery look like totally different players than we saw last year. Bijan could be the best RB in the league if his coach wasn't the worst coach in the league and Mostert will probably get a big load with Achane out for a few weeks.
I didn't pick myself last week and I lost...
Commissioner's Pick (5-0): Brady
