Week #7

Week 7 restored some offense after last week's collapse. The league averaged 133.86 pts, ProfessorMJ won with 165.25, and the distance from first to last was 62 pts. The standings supplied the larger story. OldNo7's 4th-place finish moved it into first overall with 58 rank pts, BeaudoinBrothers slipped to 2nd with 56.5, and Prof's victory carried it from 4th to 3rd with 55. The GloriousBastards completed the less fashionable first-to-last double, finishing 11th for the week and falling to 4th overall. Ballers, meanwhile, scored 150 after managing 68 last week. Apparently the roster was not dead; it was merely conducting an extremely thorough impersonation.

7 weeks, 7 different winners; ProfessorMJ won Week 7 with 165.25 and pushed past Bas in the standings. Tony Pollard ran for 129 yards and three TDs, added three catches for 26 yards, and scored a whopping 33.5 to come back from dead and explode from RB29 in the PQBFL prior to this week to now a more respectable RB18. Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards and three TDs on MNF, added a successful two-point conversion, and supplied another 27.5 to seal the win. Rookie Omar Cooper Jr. caught five passes for 115 yards and a TD for 15.75 and is now surprisingly the best offensive rookie in the PQBFL, second overall behind rookie LB Trotter (Old).  Meanwhile Malik Nabers added 12.5 on seven catches for 111 yards. Dalton Kincaid was on bye but he was not missed because Kyle Pitts Sr. answered with 11 and a TD. Prof moves into 3rd overall with 55 rank pts.

WaxOnWaxOff reached 154.75 and 2nd behind the week's best quarterback and linebacker scores. Joe Burrow threw for 292 yards and four TDs without an interception for 32.5. Blake Cashman produced 27 with 12 combined tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss, three QB hits, and four passes defended. Cashman now ranks LB1 at a 14.7-point average.  Not bad for who was the very last LB drafted, in the final 20th round.  Seems very similar to Bobby Wagner a couple of years ago who was also drafted in the last round by FE and had a stellar season.  Bucky Irving added 19.5 with 106 rushing yards and two TDs, and Jaylen Warren contributed 137 scrimmage yards for 13.5. Wax climbs from 6th to 5th overall with 48.5 rank pts.

Ballers produced the week's most startling result: 150 pts, 3rd place, and an 82-point improvement over Week 6.  Jameson Williams caught five passes for 91 yards and two TDs for 21.5, Quinshon Judkins ran for 96 yards and two TDs for 20.25, and Puka Nacua added 17.75 with eight catches, 68 receiving yards, a TD, and 10 rushing yards. Nakobe Dean scored 17 with 12 combined tackles and an interception, while RB Ollie Gordon II contributed 15.25. Ball could have finished higher if not for having an incomplete lineup with two injured rookies and the third Cole Payton holding the clipboard.  Ballers remains 11th overall with 19 rank pts, but now has a chance to get out of the hole, only three behind FlyEaglesFly.

OldNo7 finished 4th with 148.75 and took over first place overall. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 150 yards and a TD, added 13 rushing yards, and scored 24; he remains WR1 with a 22.0-point average.  He is unstoppable and currently the league MVP, leading all other WRs by at least 4.7 pts per game which is the biggest margin of any position.  Javonte Williams ran for 155 yards and a TD for 20.5 on MNF to beat Dec and FE and extract two valuable rank-points at the last minute, Jared Goff threw for 303 yards and two TDs for 19, and Amon-Ra St. Brown added 16.5 on nine catches for 153 yards. Cameron Dicker's bye was covered by Will Reichard's nine, although Carolina's defense contributed a less heroic minus-2.5. Caleb Williams outscored Goff 24.75 to 19 on the bench so Old could have beaten Ball with a better QB choice.  Anyway Old now has 58 rank pts and the league lead; perfection remains optional when nearly everyone else is busy tripping over the furniture, mostly Beaud and Bas.

The Decepticons rebounded to 146.25 and 5th, powered by five offensive starters scoring at least 15. Zay Flowers caught eight passes for 137 yards and a TD for 22.75, Trey McBride posted 10 catches, 111 yards, and a TD for 20.5, and Jonathan Taylor supplied 110 scrimmage yards and a TD for 18, waiting in the wings to be traded to greener pastures and out of Indy. Drake London scored 17.25 and Kyren Williams added 15 despite losing a fumble. The result was strong and could have been even better with lots of great performances on the bench: Geno Smith's 25.5, Jessie Bates III's 18.5, Cam Skattebo's 18, and Patrick Queen's 15.5, leaving Dec at a league-low 75.5% efficiency among the top six finishers. Dec stays 6th overall with 48 rank pts, half a point behind Wax.

FlyingElvis followed its Week 6 victory with a steady 142.75 and 6th. Drake Maye threw for 321 yards and two TDs, ran for another score, and overcame one interception to post 29.5. Seattle's defense added 16.5, Josh Jacobs scored 16 on 91 scrimmage yards and a receiving TD after coming back from his suspension and providing a needed boost, while Ashton Jeanty produced 13.5 with eight catches, 61 receiving yards, and a score. There was no repeat win and no dramatic collapse, merely another useful week from a team that has scored between 141.75 and 154.5 in four straight outings. FE rises from 8th to 7th overall with 40 rank pts, which is how boring competence quietly becomes relevant.

The BeaudoinBrothers scored 131.75 and finished 7th, surrendering the overall lead despite entering the week without a previous starter being on bye so it was a lost opportunity to distance the competition. CeeDee Lamb caught five passes for 74 yards and two TDs on MNF to salvage the week with 19.5, Matthew Stafford threw three TDs for 19.25, and D'Andre Swift added 14. The lineup was respectable; the bench was running a rival franchise. Tampa Bay's defense scored 25 behind five sacks, two interceptions, two recoveries, a blocked kick, and a TD, while Minnesota scored 12.5. Rhamondre Stevenson outscored Chuba Hubbard 19.5 to seven, and Tre Tucker outscored A.J. Brown 17 to 5.25. Beaud registered a very poor 66.4% coaching efficiency this week and wasted the league-high 198.5-point maximum possible if starting roster had been perfect.   Beaud falls to 2nd overall with 56.5 rank pts. The depth chart had answers. It simply kept them to itself.

FlyEaglesFly reached 113.75 and 8th while three Week 6 starters sat on bye: Keon Coleman, Travon Walker, and college player Julian Sayin. Even with a perfect starting lineup FEF would have only scored 129.25 points so there was little hope. Rookie Makai Lemon led the team with 15.25 on seven catches for 67 yards and a TD. Christian McCaffrey and Blake Corum each scored 15, Jamien Sherwood added 13, and Cairo Santos made field goals from 43, 31, and 58 yards for 11.5 despite missing from 53. FEF messed up during the draft by selecting two college players from Ohio State so obviously they had the same bye week so FEF scored a goose egg at the position.  Also Philadelphia's defense added another numeric zero but due to suckness.  In fact the entire Eagles team is in shambles with injuries and what not so FEF's heavy concentration on Eagles players is backfiring in a major fashion.  FEF remains 10th overall with 22 rank pts.

BetterBallers finished 9th with 111.75, missing previous starters James Cook III and Ventrell Miller, both on bye. Luther Burden III led the lineup with 17.75 on four catches for 130 yards and a TD, Jacoby Brissett scored 15.25, rookie RJ Harvey added 14, and Pittsburgh's defense and Drue Tranquill each scored 12.  There were better backups on the bench such as Malik Willis who scored 27.75 behind Brissett, and Tee Higgins supplied 19.25 from the bench.  Bett remains 9th overall with 28 rank pts.

The Admirals absorbed five byes from players who started one week ago which was rough as expected, and Adm finished 10th with 104.25. Rachaad White, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and Josh Hines-Allen were all on bye but the most impactful was not having league-leading QB Josh Allen. Alex Singleton did his best to cover the wreckage, scoring 24 with 19 combined tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, and two QB hits. He is the reason why Adm did not finish last this week.  C.J. Stroud added 17.25 with two passing TDs and a successful two-point conversion so it was a respectable performance in replacement for Josh Allen, while Jahmyr Gibbs produced 143 scrimmage yards but lost a fumble and finished at 11.25 which is low by his own standards (avg 21.7).  The Admirals fall to 8th overall with 38 rank pts; bye weeks remain undefeated against roster depth.

The GloriousBastards finished last with 103.25, a shockingly bad result for the team who was sitting pretty in first place after week #5 which is now a distant memory. Eleven rostered players were on bye, but only Terrel Bernard had started in Week 6, so the calendar cannot accept the entire blame. Fred Warner scored 15 with 13 combined tackles and two tackles for loss. Ja'Marr Chase and rookie Demetrius Knight Jr. each scored 13, while Bijan Robinson added 12 on 122 scrimmage yards. Brock Purdy threw for 288 yards but managed one TD and two interceptions for 8.75; Bo Nix scored 27.75 on the bench, a 19-point hindsight swing all by himself. Bas still leads the league in cumulative scoring by half a point over Beaud (1052.75 vs 1052.25) so it is clear that huge inconsistency of this team is the reason why they are not higher in the standings despite having the best team.  Consecutive 9th- and 11th-place finishes have dropped the team to 4th overall with 49 rank pts. The throne was apparently rented by the week.
