Week 6 Re-cap: Oh Bring Us Some Diggsy Pudding

What. A. Week. The Niners beat the Rams, the Texans beat the Chiefs, the Refs beat the Lions, and Sam Darnold beat mono. From a fantasy perspective, this was the week Stefon Diggs finally broke out (RIP trade rumors), Jared Goff died, and teams with the Pat’s D/ST kept on rolling. While it is still too early to tell which teams will bring home the championships, the good teams have started to separate themselves from the bad. The standings have begun to take a less ambiguous shape, but it’s not too late to pull your 1–5 team out of the gutter. It’s happened before.

Games of the Week

Dictator League

MTautkus v. Swandog

• When you leave Diggs on your bench and Goff in your starting line-up, you’re going to have a bad time. Especially when you’re going up against DeShaun Watson and a healthy Tyreek Hill. Dictator league is definitely weird, but one of the lesser-known quirks is the fact that you get -1 for a fumble and -2 for a fumble loss. Meaning if you lose a fumble, it’s really -3. Meaning Jared Goff’s fumble was so bad that it actually put him in the negative. I would have been better off starting no one. This creation of mine has gotten out of control.

Dynasty League

Born for This v. Big Bold Burly Babies

• Born for This is now on a three week stretch of game of the week victories bringing their record to a pristine 6–0. They are clearly the dominant force in this league and are cruising towards another championship. And just to let us know that we are merely peasants against a king, Joey dropped a whopping 52 points in the basketball game. The dominance of this team makes a pretty good argument to move to an ‘Empire League’; a league where if a team wins two years in a row, the entire league is re-drafted.

Keeper League

Loser City v. My Team Has CTE

• Bing. Bang. Boom. Odhran told Mark to eat a Diggs sandwich and dropped almost 200 points in Keeper. It was an unfortunate match-up for Mark who has been trying to maneuver his way out of the bottom of the standings. Odhran started a perfect line-up (because his bench is trash) and only his D/ST scored under 13 points. Kyler “Calamari” Murray and last week’s trivia answer Miles Sanders both had career weeks that helped put Odhran way over the top.

Trivia

• This player reached the highest top speed on any offensive play in Week 6. (Bonus points if you guess the speed within .05mph)
