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:
