Week 8 Recap

So yeah, I'm lazy and I didn't do recaps for week 8.  Whatever.

Alright, week 8 had some interesting results.  Things definitely got mixed up.  From the top:

CENTERVILLE PSYCHOS (Scott) @ SLC SOVIETS (Shane)
112-69

Megatron, sweet Megatron.  36 points for Shane in one of the best fantasy performances by a receiver ever.  Shane's roster had otherwise "meh" performances.  Usually solid Chiefs D/ST recorded a season low 4 points.  Meanwhile, Dad's "play Austin Collie because he is cool" strategy didn't work again, much to the surprise of nobody ever.  Good players under-performing was the theme here.

MINNEAPOLIS MARAUDERS (Jake) @ PROVO BEGINNER'S LUCK (Rachel)
79-62

Pretty close matchup here, especially considering Rachel had Jordy Nelson and Emmanuel Sanders on her bench scoring 24 and 16 respectively.  If she had shuffled things around, it could have easily gone the other way.  Interestingly, Jake's backup QB Andy Dalton scored a whopping 31 points on his bench, which was 9 more than Peyton Manning.  I'd say other than swapping players for her benchwarmers, Rachel's biggest problem here was an underperforming QB and D/ST.

CHICAGO CLOVERS (Holly) @ NORTHERN QUILTERS (Wendy)
119-88

THE QUEEN IS DEAD!  Holly got her first win in a HUGE way, being the first one to beat Mom since week ONE.  Drew Brees and the Bengals D/ST had big performances for Holly, while Mom suffered from poor RB and WR performances.  Interesting note, Holly's bench scored a whopping 1 point.  How's that for starting your studs?

WEBER COUNTY JACKALS (Jake S) @ OGDEN CATS (Heidi)
57-74

Ok.  Seriously.  Heidi got on board the luck express (not the Andrew variety) once again.  She could have done just about anything and won this one.  Jake had 3 players out that week whom he left on his starting lineup and didn't even play a defense.  A bold strategy or just plain neglect?  Probably don't have to call Toronto to figure that one out.

C-VILLE SLAYAS (Kyle) @ PROVO CRUNCH TIME (Spike)
60-123

Wow.  Dat Crunch Time.  Spike had a huge game thanks to Matthew Stafford and solid RB and WR performances.  Even his kicker had a huge game.  Meanwhile Kyle has another off-week, this time thanks to Michael Vick getting injured and leaving him with an awesome -1 point.  Told ya to play Cam, bro.



Ok yeah, I know this one is short.  I'll try and have a full week 9 recap up soon, hopefully before the weekend.  BUT NO PROMISES.
