Rock Crushers Starches Forte Shades of Jay, Rises to Second Place

Forte Shades of Jay should probably lay low the next time they meet Rock Crushers. They’ve been blown out both times the teams have faced each other, this time by a final score of 123.02 to 63.80. This week, Latavius Murray was the team leader, picking up 35.27 points. It was even more than the 23.93 points Corey Coleman got the last time these teams played. Rock Crushers won 130.97 to 76.78 in Week 2, and now has a 56.70-point average margin of victory over Forte Shades of Jay..

Smooth Moves by Rock Crushers

  • Outscoring your opponent is a sure-fire way to win each week. You can thank the Toyota Hall of Fame for that valuable insight.
  • Not quite the best, but pretty darn effective. Latavius Murray had the third-highest RB score of the week and the ninth-highest RB score in the league this season with 35.27 points.
  • Aaron Rodgers ranked eighth in the league in scoring with 30.18 points against a projected 23.36 and has now overachieved in three straight games.
  • Look, there in the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s just Michael Thomas posterizing opponents. He had the fourth-highest score of any WR in the league this week with 16.87 points.
  • With 9.47 points, Greg Olsen had the fourth-highest score of any TE in the league this week.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • Some teams are destined to beat teams like Forte Shades of Jay and move on to Toyota Hall of Fame greatness. Ironically, you are included in that destiny, because you played yourself.
  • With 0.53 points against a projected 7.87, DeVante Parker was last on the team in scoring and has now scored below his projection in five straight games.
  • Whoever gave you this advice, you might want to lose their number. Picked up and started Dan Bailey, who then scored below his 10.43-point projection with 5.00 points.
  • 8 of the starters on Forte Shades of Jay underperformed versus their projections.
  • With 3.00 points against a projected 7.31, Brandon Marshall did not meet his projection for the fourth straight game.

What If

  • Rock Crushers would be 8-1 if they played Forte Shades of Jay every week.
  • Rock Crushers would have beaten three other teams besides Forte Shades of Jay this week.

Georgia Bullies Gets Upset over Liberty City Outlaws to Grab Sixth Place

Georgia Bullies, with “Eye of the Tiger” playing in the background, accumulated the highest score this week and beat Liberty City Outlaws 129.32 to 106.06, overcoming a 24.77-point spread. This shocker was revenge for a Week 2 112.38 to 96.35 loss to Liberty City Outlaws. Drew Brees led Liberty City Outlaws with 29.72 points while Ezekiel Elliott racked up 20.53. Georgia Bullies showed some mercy in the win, starting a player with zero points (Derrick Henry). Georgia Bullies (4-5, 917.93 points) climbs into sixth place and Liberty City Outlaws (7-2, 1,072.36 points) stays in first place.

  • With 7.50 points, Ryan Mathews, who Georgia Bullies picked up this week, beat his 3.92-point projection by 91.3%.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • Some teams are destined to beat teams like Liberty City Outlaws and move on to Toyota Hall of Fame greatness. Ironically, you are included in that destiny, because you played yourself.
  • Should have started Jordan Matthews, who underachieved, but still had the most points of any WR on the team with 5.87 against a projected 7.51.
  • T.Y. Hilton, who Liberty City Outlaws traded for this week, scored below his 12.06-point projection with 5.47 points.
  • Dez Bryant was last in the matchup in scoring, finishing below his projection for the second time this season with 1.27 points against a projected 8.34.
  • Liberty City Outlaws could have used more points at WR, where Georgia Bullies outscored them 39.60 – 11.14.

  • Georgia Bullies would have beaten every other team in the league this week.

  • The margin of victory of 23.26 points was the biggest of the season for Georgia Bullies.
  • We don’t condone cheating, but this group of wide receivers might want to spray Stickum on their gloves. The 11.14 total points by the WRs on Liberty City Outlaws was their lowest WR output this season.
  • The loss snapped a four-game win streak by Liberty City Outlaws.
  • Not going to name names, but some people here aren’t pulling their weight. Forget it, Jarvis Landry needs to step it up! He scored 2.20 points against a projected 8.80 in the win, and has now scored below his projection in five straight games.

Smooth Moves by Hulk Smash

  • A higher score than your opponent is a guaranteed way to win each week. Thank the Toyota Hall of Fame for that valuable insight.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • Missed an opportunity by leaving Marcus Mariota on the bench. He scored 32.92 points, the fifth-highest score in the league this week.
  • Mason Crosby has now failed to reach his projection for three straight games. This week he scored 8.00 points versus a projected 11.06.

Syracuse Express Snatches Win from Millennium Falcons for Third Consecutive Win

Syracuse Express recorded the second-highest point total this week on the way to their third win in as many matchups when they beat Millennium Falcons 128.89 to 118.00 in a Monday night comeback. The streak has provided big momentum for Syracuse Express. They’ve climbed from fifth place to third since Week 7. They’re doing it by scoring a lot of points and they own the second-highest overall point total in the league, averaging 118.67 points per matchup. Millennium Falcons goes to 3-6 and falls to seventh place. Syracuse Express has now steamrolled Hulk Smash (114.48 to 106.82) and Rock Crushers (136.62 to 96.30).

Smooth Moves by Syracuse Express

  • Syracuse Express scored massive brownie points with the Toyota Hall of Fame this week. Too bad brownie points don’t count as real points. Not that you need help.
  • Best in the world: Jimmy Graham can claim that at least for one week after his 23.87 point performance. It was highest score for any TE this week, as well as the third-highest TE score in the league this season.
  • Expect to see some trade offers for Matt Ryan. He ranked sixth in the league in scoring with 31.76 points.
  • DeMarco Murray put the team on his back with 13.03 points, the ninth-highest score among RBs in the league this week.
  • What do Apache helicopters, F-117 Nighthawks and Jordy Nelson have in common? They are all dangerous aerial weapons. He ranked sixth in the league in scoring among WRs this week with 12.27 points.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • It’s okay to regret not taking a sick day to study the Toyota Hall of Fame’s articles. But it’s not okay to do it again.
  • Whoever gave you this advice, you might want to lose their number. Picked up and started Darren Sproles, who then scored below his 9.59-point projection with 6.63 points.
  • Terrance West was last in the matchup in scoring, finishing below his projection for the third time this season with 1.50 points against a projected 10.54.
  • At the QB position, Millennium Falcons got outscored 31.76 – 11.60 by Syracuse Express.
  • The TE position was a letdown for Millennium Falcons, where they were outscored 23.87 – 6.07 by Syracuse Express.

What If

  • Syracuse Express would be 7-2 if they played Millennium Falcons every week.
  • Besides Millennium Falcons, Syracuse Express would have defeated five other teams this week.
  • Were they resting their players for this week? Syracuse Express would have defeated Millennium Falcons 136.62 – 121.03 had they played each other last week.
  • If they played the same schedule as Millennium Falcons, Syracuse Express would be 3-4.
  • Syracuse Express would be 39-24 if they played every team every week.
  • Millennium Falcons would have lost to three other teams besides Syracuse Express this week.
  • If they played the same schedule as Syracuse Express, Millennium Falcons would be 2-5.

  • Le’Veon Bell scored a season-low 5.73 points and underachieved for the fourth straight week.

  • At 10.89 points, the margin of victory was the tightest of the week.
  • Millennium Falcons falls to 1-2 in comeback games this season.
