Week 5 Rewind
Purple People Eaters dominate, Big Black Zeke claims 1st
The fierce competition continues with Jason being the only 3–1 team from last week to claim a victory and 1st place. The next 11 teams are still jockeying for position with seven 3–2 teams and four 2–3 teams. Down at the bottom at 1–4 are Lando and Tani, but with 8 more weeks to go in the fantasy regular season, there’s still hope for them to turn it around. Anton finally got his weekly high score after coming close a couple of other weeks, and Kurtis gets his second lowest weekly score in three weeks.
Mikey and Kevin have both bounced back from their 0–2 start, and are tied for the longest winning streak at 3 games. With JR’s Week 5 win, Orlando is in sole possession on the longest losing streak, at 4 games.
Super short recap of the matchups below. Played too much 2K last night instead of doing my commish duties ;)
