Mr. Fantasy Week 6

By Michael Weber- Semolina Pilchards

 

Jaguars –12 vs. Sandbaggers

Last week, the Jags dropped their game by 2 points

even though they scored over 100 points. The

Sandbaggers lost to Division foe, the Undertakers, who

have quietly snapped up first place in their Division.

Jags have seen their Minny players start coming on

lately, so they have been piling up the points as they

move up in the Power Rankings. As far as the Baggers

go, this is one of 3 ultra pathetic teams belonging in

the same Division. Baggers, Pilchards, and Point are

easily the league doormats right now, which should

allow the Undertakers to rapidly gain control of the

Division. Jags put Minny QB and Cris Carter up

against Baggers tandem of Denver QB and Eddie Kennison

who has probably been the biggest free agent bust of

the season. Baggers benched Moulds this week who had

a great Thursday and will put up Mathis against

probably Toomer for the Jags. RB game goes the Jags

way again. Sandbaggers are so hurting at RB, I won’t

even bother going over their game. Jags will easily

send the Baggers to another loss this week as they

again break 100 and win 104- 92.

 

Show Me the Money – 8 vs. Semolina Pilchards

How can Mr. Fantasy go against Show Me, when they are

riding a 3 game winning streak. On the opposite end,

the Pilchards are riding a 3 game losing streak.

Pilchards and TNT Explosion, both of who started 2-0

and have now both dropped to 2-3, made a blockbuster

trade in an attempt to improve both teams (see

transactions for details). Pilchards have averaged 4

points a week over the last 3 weeks from their QB

position while TNT had been weak in their Kicker and

WR positions. Pilchards put 3 new players on the

table against Show Me this week. Show Me pits Warner

against new Pilchard QB, Grbac. Advantage: Show Me.

At RB, Show Me has Dayne and Alstott up against the

Edge and Tomlinson, who is now entering the tough part

of his schedule. At WR, Show Me’s main guy Owens is

off and the Pilchards main guy Bruce is traded.

Pilchards already played J. Smith on Thursday and of

course, he was pathetic. Kicker and Defensive battle

continues to swing Show Me’s way, as they knock off the

Putrid Pilchards in a close battle, 88-80.

 

Undertakers –12 vs. C&D TD Makers

Undertakers ride a three game win streak against C&D’s

2 game win streak. Both teams lose critical players

this week. Undertakers who have again started with

Chapter 13, "Your team Sucks" have flat out stated

that "they would kick C&D’s ass even if they had half

their team on a bye". C&D responded by saying, "Nah,

Nah" and sticking out their tongue at the Undertakers.

McNair goes up against Vinny this week which should

be a wash. At virtually every other position, the

Undertakers blow away C&D especially since Faulk is

injured for C&D, and they were beaten out for Faulk’s

backup by TNT in the Free Agent pickups. Undertakers

will ride a 4 game win streak into next week’s

Divisional battles, as they win 70-58.

 

Mighty Caesars –17 vs. What’s the Point

Mighty Caesars lead their Division as they bring the

league’s highest scoring team up against the Point.

The Point got their highest scoring game of the year

last week against the Pilchards, as their team was way

overdue to score. Of course, in this league, it is

virtually a tradition at this point for teams to have

their best week when they play the Pilchards. Caesars

have McNabb going up against the TB QB’s for the

Point.  While their QB broke out of their funk last week, Mr.

Fantasy knows that the QB will be right back to

sucking this week, as the Point are NOT playing the

Pilchards. McNabb has been good for at least 20

points a week it seems like. At RB, the Point have

continued their annual tradition of crucial mistakes

costing them games, in that 3 of their 4 RB’s are

either on a bye or are injured this week. At WR, the

Point may have a chance to do something as the Caesars

lose their main guy to a bye this week. Either way,

the Caesar’s continue to find ways to score every

week, and this week will be no exception as they beat

the Point, 99-82.

 

TNT Explosion –22 vs. Dragon Slayers

TNT was involved in a 4 player trade with the

Pilchards, after their three game losing streak, and

pit 3 of them against the Slayers this week. Dragon Slayers

lead the league with 4 wins and lead the Power

Rankings chart. This week, TNT put Brooks up against

Favre at the QB position. Favre has obviously been

worth that first round pick this year. TNT’s newest

RB, Mike Anderson goes up against the #1 fantasy RB,

Curtis Martin. At WR, TNT again puts up a player

received in trade, Isaac Bruce, against more weak

players for the Slayers, although it seems like

Freeman may be getting back into the swing of things.

Again at Kicker, TNT puts up Wilkins (received in a

trade) against another weaker player. All in all, TNT

will have enough firepower this week to beat the #1

Slayers, as the teams go all out in a tremendous

battle with TNT winning, 112-90.

 

TBFC –14 vs. Suicide Kings

TBFC are one of the top teams in the league, while the

Kings have dropped their last two to fall to last

place in their Division. Looks like this week, the

Kings are gonna get crowned again by TBFC. Kings get

back their QB, Manning this week, while TBFC loses

Gannon so they must play NE’s Brady against the Kings.

Based on the last game between Indy and the Pat’s,

this could quite possibly be an even battle. At RB,

TBFC blows away the Kings on paper, although so far

they have gotten the worst of the deal in trading away

Dunn for A. Green. Both teams pit strong WR corps

against each other, with TBFC using Marvin Harrison to

offset the Kings QB, but at Kicker and Defense, TBFC

again overpowers the Kings. TBFC wins this game and

pulls into a tie in their Division with 4 wins, when

they beat the Kings, 96-92.
