(WatchBlog McGee is a fictionalized blogger but reports on actual, flesh and bone, real-life fantasy football leagues. This year, he is embedded deep in the CFFFL, and will be periodically blogging on league matters.)
WatchBlog here again. There were two early games this weekend, and neither one was really close. Let’s get to it.
Back in the Saddle
The PlowBoys were excited to have a rested RB Felix Jones back from a BYE week, and ready to start again - so excited, in fact, they decided to release backup RB Willis McGahee to waivers. This excitement lasted until the 2nd quarter of the Cowboy game, when Jones went out with an ankle injury. The injury contributed to the PlowBoys putting up the 2nd worst final team score in the league this year since the PlowBoys woeful showing in week 3. Even though it wasn’t needed for the win, opponent Leftovers still put up their customary triple digit score. Cindy “I’m just glad I can relax this week” Cook will have some work to do for week 7, as an injury to her backup QB will leave her QB-less due to the BYE week for her starter. If asked how she would account for all the holes in her roster for week 7, she most likely would have said “Have you seen the clown I play, next week? I’m not too worried...”
Correction
The PlowBoys’ domination of record low final scores only lasted a few hours until Hottez wit da bodiez moved past them into the 2nd place for lowest final score with even greater offensive ineptitude. The Hottez did not have the excuse of an injured starting RB, but instead relied on pure inattention to their roster in order to challenge this dubious honor. Turns out the Hottez would have lost anyway even with the best of roster moves, but it is doubtful that was even a consideration for Lauren “Didn’t we just have a BYE to deal with last week?” Cook. The Quail Hunters were impressive again, and will maintain their position as the 5 Cooks Division leader, and 2nd in the league overall. Amanda “Why drop players when you can just draft all awesome ones?” Cook will be putting that division lead on the line next week when she faces off in week 7 against the Cousins.
Seeing 20/20
The remaining 3 games are all still somewhat in question as the lead in each is approximately 20 points and in each game, only the trailing team has remaining players competing on Monday night (and yes, even the Badger has an outside chance for a comeback win, but don’t hold your breath.) Truly exciting stuff. WatchBlog might be a CFFFL nerd, but this is what fake blogging about fake football is all about...
WatchBlog out.
