WaxOnWaxOff's
resurgence continued this week as the team won for the first time of
the season despite scoring only 144.5 pts in a low-scoring week.
Wax leaps from 5th to 3rd in the standings. A Luck's injury
turned out to be a blessing in disguise because he is a tough player to
bench, but so far Eli Manning has outproduced Luck. That
continued this week with Manning scoring and impressive 25 pts against
a decent defense on the road in Buffalo. L Bell has confirmed
that Wax's struggles in week #1-2 were temporary and that Wax's lineup
is different with his presence. Bell scored 18.5 pts and he has
the best point per game average of all RBs after 4 weeks.
The Decepticons had their lowest scoring week of the year by far, but
salvaged the results by narrowly beating Old and Adm. Similar to
the QB position for Wax, Dec did not miss a beat with Big Ben
sidelined. Rivers threw for 3 TDs and over 350 yards against the
lowly Browns. Julio Jones had a bit of a down week with only 4-38
but Hopkins picked up the slack with 9-157. The Decepticons are
very happy to escape this week with second place with star rookie
Mariota on bye and having their only healthy kicker on bye as well.
Old finished in the middle of a tight pack between Dec-Old-Adm with
127.5 pts and third place. Nobody on Old's team was able to carry
the team to a better result; Newton was the top scorer but only managed
16.25 pts. However on the flip side, nobody on Old's starting
squad had a bad game except perhaps Kelce with only 4.25 pts.
Otherwise most key players scored at least 7 pts. Old had a
decent contribution from defense with 52 pts in total from the
Seahawks, Liuget, Timmons, Kirksey, and Mathieu combined. This
was second this week behind Wax's 53 pts on defense.
Adm got out of the red for the first time this year with 4th place but
deserved a better result after falling short of beating Old and
Dec. Brees had by far his best game of the year with 24.5
pts. C Ivory continues to surprise, adding 18.75 pts this
week. He is currently 3rd best RB in the PQBFL behind L Bell
(Wax) and J Charles (Dec) but at a fraction of the cost. One
player who has not been worth his cost so far is Jimmy Graham. He
scored 5.25 pts and through 4 weeks ranks 9th of 17 TEs. Adm
would have finished higher if not for poor play on defense with only 31
pts total. It does not help when the coach makes the bone head
move of starting Chandler Jones on bye and backup Ansah scores 15 pts
from the bench.
The BeaudoinBrothers had their worst score of the year by a stunning
56.5 pt difference compared to their previous weekly low. It did
not help that Gronkowski was on bye, Julius Thomas injured, and Dwayne
Allen who was drafted for the only purpose of starting in week #4 at
home against the weak Jaguars during Gronk's bye, could not make it to
the field like a pussy because of a tiny bit of soreness in his ankle
after practicing all week. The wimp should be banned from the
NFL. To make matters worse, the backup TE in Indy lit up the
scoreboard with 9-83-1
Arian Foster made his debut but the BeaudoinBrothers' coach was too
quick in pulling the trigger. Foster was ineffective with only 10
rushing yards and a fumble.
FlyingElvis finished dead last this week, barely reaching the century
mark. Brady's absence was felt with P Manning only scoring 6 pts
due to 2 INTs. Marshawn Lynch's injury is taking his toll.
This week, backup RB Ryan Mathews only had 5 carries and fumbled one of
them. Having very little to show for this week, the FlyingElvis
coach was ecstatic about his kicker named something like Katanzorro's 5
FGs in addition to this dude even getting two tackles on special
teams. He is aiming for FE MVP this year.
