Regular Season Week 8
Week 7 was much better all around, except for the Giants... They were terrible. I went 10-4 on my picks and finally won in fantasy. It helped that I started Aaron Rodgers, who racked up 45 points! I am now 4-3 in my fantasy league, 2nd place in my division and 3rd overall. The Patriots and 49ers are still the only undefeated teams left going into week 7 and the Bengals and Dolphins still haven’t gotten a win.
Here is the recap for week seven.
Chiefs @ Broncos 30-6Patrick Mahomes went out of the game with a displaced knee cap and didn’t return. It was gross. But, even with Mahomes out the Broncos were not able to put pressure on the Chiefs. KC walked all over the Broncos, their defense showed up in a big way. All the experts were saying that Phillip Lindsay was going to have a monsterous game over the Chiefs depleted defense… He put up 4 points for my fantasy team. I thought I was going to have another losing week.
Rams @ Falcons 37-10My fantasy woes continued when I found out that Alvin Kamara would not play for the Saints this week so I frantically drafted Rams RB3 Henderson in a pinch. I figured any points would be better than no points. Henderson gave me another 4 points… It was looking pretty bleak in the fantasy world. As for this game, Jalen Ramsey gave the Rams the defensive boost they were hoping for and the Falcons nightmare continued. Devonta Freeman got ejected from the game after getting into it with Rams Aaron Donald. Matt Ryan left the game early after awkwardly bending his right leg after yet another sack and did not return to the game. Todd Gurley was back from injury for the Rams and was able to get a touchdown, unfortunately for me that touchdown was to the wrong Rams RB.
Dolphins @ Bills 21-31The Bills did not look good at the beginning of this game, and I thought it might be a trap game for them. They actually had to rally from a 5 point deficit to beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins had the lead going into the fourth quarter and then it was like a light switch was flicked and the Bills defense showed up. The Bills scored 22 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Dolphins.
Jaguars @ Bengals 27-17The Jags didn’t need Jalen Ramsey to beat the Bengals, other defenders stepped up. It was Yannick Ngakoue, easy for you to say, who had a pick 6 at the end of the game to seal the win for the Jags.
Vikings @ Lions 42-30
I said that it all depended on which Kirk Cousins showed up for the Vikings. He matched his career high with four touchdown passes as the Vikings beat the Lions. This is why I don’t pick the Lions to win, because when I do, they don’t.
Raiders @ Packers 24-42I’m not gonna lie, I thought about benching Aaron Rodgers and starting Danny Jones in fantasy league because I was sick and tired of Aaron only putting up 8 to 12 points. It’s a good thing I didn’t, because Aaron put up 45 points with 429 throwing yards, 5 passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and a perfect quarterback rating for the day. Thank you Aaron for putting a W in my win column.
Texans @ Colts 23-30The Colts took the number one spot in the AFC South with this win over the Texans. Colts fans are saying Andrew Luck who? Jacoby Brissett is holding his own as the Colts starting QB, having four touchdowns in this win over the Texans.
Cardinals @ NY Giants 27-21The Giants are stupid. This is a game they should have easily won, so obviously they screwed it up. Since gaining the starting job, Danny Jones has had something like 11 interceptions. They should just put Eli back in the lineup if Danny is going to play like this. It isn’t any fun being a Giants fan this season, and I have said that for too many seasons in a row now. NY made the Cardinals look good, really good, too good. They aren’t that great. Thanks Gmen for ruining another weekend.
49ers @ Redskins 9-0This final score was one of the most shocking. I mean, I knew the 49ers would win but I thought they would have at least four touchdowns in doing so. As it turns out, there were just 3 field goals by Robbie Gould to give the 49ers the win. The game looked almost like it was being played in a fish bowl with all the rain that fell.
Chargers @ Titans 20-23Melvin Gordon may be back for the Chargers but it isn’t the same guy the Chargers fans expected, as he could have scored the game winning touchdown from the goal line with 15 seconds left but instead fumbled the ball and the Chargers lost the game.
Saints @ Bears 36-25Mitchell Trubisky was back for the Bears but their offense still needs a lot of work. When they get both offense and defense on the same page they will be unstoppable. On the other hand, the Saints haven’t lost a game since Teddy Bridgewater started for injured Drew Brees. Alvin Kamara also didn’t play in this game but it didn’t seem to matter much. Saints win.
Ravens @ Seahawks 30-16The struggle was real for the Seahawks on Sunday. They couldn’t stop Lamar Jackson, who I believe has more rushing yards than the total of 8 NFL teams. The Ravens defense also scored on a couple of Seahawks turnovers.
Eagles @ Cowboys 10-37The Cowboys slaughtered the Eagles on offense and defense Sunday night. Ezekiel Elliot ran all over the Eagles defense while Carson Wentz had an interception and two of the three lost fumbles for the Eagles. It was embarrassing, yet as a Giants fan, thrilling to watch.
Patriots @ Jets 33-0Speaking of embarrassing… This game was ugly. Jets quarterback, Sam Darnald, looked lost and overwhelmed. In my opinion they should have pulled him, just to give him a break, and to dampen the nightmares that were sure to come after the game if he was even able to sleep at all that night. Darnold had five turnovers in the Patriots shut out of the Jets.
WEEK 8
Thursday, October 24th
Redskins (1-6) @ Vikings (5-2) [8:20pm FOX/NFLN]I’m picking the Vikings to win this game, though I do wonder how it will feel for the Redskins defense to get pressure on their former QB Kirk Cousins, and vice versa with Case Keenum and the Vikings defense.
Sunday, October 27th
Seahawks (5-2) @ Falcons (1-6) [1pm FOX]After another humiliating loss for the Seahawks last week I think they will bounce back and beat the Falcons.
Raiders @ Packers 24-42I’m not gonna lie, I thought about benching Aaron Rodgers and starting Danny Jones in fantasy league because I was sick and tired of Aaron only putting up 8 to 12 points.

Buccaneers (2-4) @ Titans (3-4) [1pm FOX]I’m taking the Titans for the win.
Broncos (2-5) @ Colts (4-2) [1pm CBS]The Broncos have a good defense, sometimes. I’m taking the Colts in this matchup.
