Week 6 Results
Week 6 of the NFL has made our EZ Fantasy Football League a little more competitive. Here are the scores:
DharmaHelper 34 - TURNIPHEAD 42
In a bold move, Turnip Head picked the struggling Miami Dolphins as his supplemental defense with his Rams defense on bye week. TH was up by one after the 1:00 games ended but DH bounced back into the lead thanks to Baltimore's late afternoon game. It all came down to Sunday night action, where the Indianapolis Colts scored enough points on the Patriots to give TH a rematch victory over DH. TH becomes the first team to win with supplemental bye-week picks.
EPIGNOSIS 24 - Metalmarsh89 12
This was a thing of beauty to watch unfold. The Saints looked they were back in top form Thursday night, giving Epi one heck of a start on this match-up. MM's points-heavy Cardinals looked shaky and only put up 13 points against Pittsburgh. With the Bengals giving up 21 points, MM89 found himself in a 55-point hole after the 1:00 games. MM needed his Chargers to score a lot and he needed Epi's Panthers to give up a lot of points. Neither happened to the extent needed, giving Epi his first win of the year and MM his first loss.
G-MAN 45 - MovingPictures07 11
Time was not on MP07's side this week yet again. After the 1:00 games, his teams were all done for the week and he only had 11 points. G-Man's Chiefs only gave up 16 to the Vikings, so he only had a shallow hole to climb out of. The Patriots dug him out of that hole Sunday night and the Eagles piled on more points Monday night, giving him another lop-sided victory.
Golden 0 - LEGGYORLYB 15
Both teams started 3-2 this week and only one came out with a winning record. Golden's Buffalo defense left Golden feeling as deflated as Tom Brady's footballs after the 1:00 games concluded. The Packers raised his spirits during the late afternoon games, however, leaving him just 22 points behind Leggy. His Giants offense averaged 26.4 points per game through Week 5, so he had hope. Leggy got the last laugh and the win though, as the Giants played like the practice squad for most of the game. At the very least, they scored seven points, bringing Golden up to a nice round goose egg.
We had to use NFL tie-breaker rules to settle the Baddie Conference standings this week. The newly victorious Turnip Head edged out DharmaHelper for second place but can he hold onto that spot for another week?
NFL tie-breaking rules also had to be applied to this week's supplemental draft order:
1) DharmaHelper (3-3)- needs an offense
2) Golden (3-3)- needs an offense
3) Leggyorlyb (4-2)- needs an offense
4) Metalmarsh89 (5-1)- needs a defense
Here is a graphic that shows who has already used which teams in bye-week drafts:

Week 5 Results
A week of NFL intrigue keeps things interesting in our league. Here are the Week 5 results:
DharmaHelper 10 - GOLDEN 41
If the league didn't require bye-week substitutions, DharmaHelper could have added to his win column this week. Unfortunately for him, he had to pick a defense after the Atlanta Falcons were snatched up in the supplemental draft. His Ravens and Bears put up solid offensive numbers but his supplemental pick on defense, the Jaguars, proved fatal. We refuse to call this a bye-week blunder because the Jags held their opponents to an average of 18.67, not including their game against the Patriots. Furthermore, none of the available supplemental teams would have led DH to a win. On the flip-side of the game was the opportunistic Golden. He had all three of his drafted teams and they all did their jobs. The Giants and the Packers put up respectable numbers and the Bills held strong against a weak opponent.
Epignosis 12 - TURNIP HEAD 27
Picking bye-week supplemental teams led to two losses so far, but could Epignosis defy the odds? He came close but not close enough. Taking the Atlanta Falcons was a smart choice but they didn't put up the same monster number as recent week. Epi's Saints were the, well, the Saints and struggled. On top of it all, Epi's supplemental Browns defense got a win but they gave up a lot of points to get it. Turnip Head was left sweating by halftime Monday night though. His Colts scored barely enough points to leave him above zero after another iffy performance by his Rams defense. So it all came down to Pittsburgh, who were held to three points by halftime. Epi could win if Pittsburgh could be held to eight points or fewer but it wasn't to be. Pittsburgh opened things up in the second half and added to Epi's heart-breaking season.
G-MAN 51 - Leggyorlyb -2
The Chip Kelly experiment finally produced for G-Man in Week 5. The Patriots did their job and the Eagles lit up the scoreboard. Despite losing at the end, the Chiefs finally looked like the potent defensive team they were last season. On the opposite side of the game, Leggy's Broncos continued to underproduce and the Seahawks couldn't crack the Bengals defense in a meaningful way. Then there's the Detroit Lions defense. This year hasn't been pretty for them and Week 5 only got uglier for them as the Arizona Cardinals used them t get back into their high-flying form.
METALMARSH89 38 - MovingPictures07 17
Leave it to Mr. Perfection to find victory with only two of his three teams. The Arizona Cardinals scored enough points (again) to assure MM the win (again). His Bengals defense let up more than their average points against but MovingPictures07's team just couldn't keep pace. Tampa Bay's offense produced a huge score but the Dallas Cowboys looked more like cow dung, putting up just six points. His Houston Texans defense continued to struggle despite their supposed pedigree. By the end of the day Sunday, MM had a one-point lead with San Diego's offense left to simply increase his margin of victory on Monday Night Football.
Using NFL tie-breaking procedures, we have the following standings after Week 5:
In Week 6, MovingPictures07 needs to draft two supplemental offenses and Turnip Head is in search of a supplemental defense. MP07 will draft first, followed by TH, then MP07 again. This week, we start a two-week stretch of conference play.
WEEK 6 MATCH-UPS:
DharmaHelper (3-2) v. Turnip Head (2-3)
Epignosis (0-5) v. Metalmarsh89 (5-0)
G-Man (3-2) v. MovingPictures07 (1-4)
Golden (3-2) v. Leggyorlyb (3-2)

Week 4 Results
Another intriguing week in the NFL translates to another wild week in our league. G-Man selected the Oakland Raiders for his bye-week substitution and a few players relied on just one of their three teams to help them out. Here are the results and match-up recaps:
DHARMAHELPER 31 - Epignosis 23
DH got the rebound he needed after his first loss of the season last week. All three of his teams won their respective games in Week 4. That marks the third time this season that all three teams on a player's roster won. It should be no surprise then that this is also the third time that such good fortune leads to a win. DH got off to an early start, with the Ravens winning Thursday night and the Jets holding the Dolphins to 14 points early Sunday in London. His formerly hapless Bears found a way to win over the Raiders. DH's gain, however, is Epignosis' loss. Two of his teams won this weekend. He even scored enough total points to beat a few other players in the league- it just wasn't enough to beat the player he was up against. Perhaps Week 5 will hold Epi's first win. Only time will tell.
G-Man 4 - GOLDEN 17
Much like the Miami Dolphins, G-Man looked like a team with promise early on. Week 4 should have been a gimme, what with him playing an opponent with a defense and an offense playing each other. Golden only had the Green Bay Packers to fight for a win. G-Man had a choice to make in a substitute offense. Instead of picking the red-hot Falcons over a seemingly formidable Texans defense, G-Man went with the Oakland Raiders, thinking they would bowl over the Chicago Bears like everyone else has. G-Man's Oakland decision became our first bye-week blunder. Green Bay didn't score many points this weekend but they didn't have to. With their first touchdown of the late afternoon game, Golden had already put the final nail in G-Man's Week 4 coffin.
LEGGYORLYB 23 - MovingPictures07 -5
Could lightning possibly strike twice in one week? The answer is yes. Leggy became the second player this weekend (and the third all season) to win a game despite having two teams canceling each other out. The secret to her success? The utter meltdown of the Houston Texans defense at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. MP07's defense lost him so many points that he couldn't even get back to 0, making him the first player this season to finish a game with negative points. MP07's offenses actually had a good week but his defense did him in.
METALMARSH 31 - Turnip Head 14
Four and oh what a team! MM leaned heavily on his Arizona offense the last two weeks but this week it was San Diego's turn to carry him to victory. The Cardinals lost a tight game but MM's Cincinnati defense came in clutch as well, limiting their opponent to just 21 points. Unfortunately for TH, neither of his offenses showed up in full force. Neither of TH's offenses had their starting QB's this weekend, making it hard to put up the points needed to stay competitive. Can anyone beat MM? Or, now that his Arizona offense has been stopped by one team, is it just a matter of time before Mr. 4-0 is made human again?
With Week 4 in the books, here are the league standings:
In Week 5, Epignosis has an offense and his defense on bye-week. DharmaHelper has his defense on bye-week as well. Because Epignosis has the worst record of the two, he gets to choose first in this weeks supplemental draft.
WEEK 5 MATCH-UPS:
DharmaHelper (3-1) v. Golden (2-2)
Epignosis (0-4) v. Turnip Head (1-3)
G-Man (2-2) v. Leggyorlyb (3-1)
Metalmarsh89 (4-0) v. MovingPictures07 (1-3)
