Season 8 - Week 5

Week 5 is in the books and, while we don’t have a ton of time for a full rankings post, we figured it’d be best to check in after our disastrous CNK Presidential debate two weeks ago.  It’s been an interesting few weeks in our dynasty league.  We had our first COVID breakouts which caused numerous games to get moved or delayed resulting in unexpected bye weeks and player quarantines.  But we did get a few weeks of double-headers on MNF and even a Tuesday game so not all is bad. 

But let’s bring it back closer to home.  South and Lazer were on top of the world but that changed quickly and both are now on losing streaks.  Lehman and Abel looked destined for the #1 seed matchup but now have won 2 straight.  Riley has nosed ahead of everyone in points and sits atop the leaderboard currently.  However, everyone’s still in it as all the records are either 3-2 or 2-3 with only 80 points separating the highest and lowest scores.  Hell, even Abel finally used $10 of FAAB on Frank Gore.  We still have a long ways to go but it seems like we'll get a full season in one way or another.  But what that could look like by season's end is anyone's guess.

We expect the rest of the season to go swimmingly tho...

And now, on with the rankings…

1.       Smells Low – Riley's bathing in fantasy knowledge non-stop while injured and quarantining has really paid off.  

2.       Fuck It Three – South had gotten bored dominating us each year (except Chris) so he's decided to let us back in it and make it interesting.  Then he'll turn his mind to...

3.       I’m Out – Abel is a true contender...

4.       Off Suit 10s – Nobody expected Kyle's team to be any good and it still probably won't be once CMC comes back but here we are.

5.       If We’re Using Logic – After the draft, Chris was like the excited Grandma talking about her grandkids soccer team...

But now that injuries and bye weeks have begun, it's more like...

6.       Ah It’s Early – Now that Dak is hurt and Lockett and Amari have been overtaken, we're about to catch Seth's team going full tank.

7.       Play It Backwards – Mitch planned to be at the top of the standings by now but we're starting to question his so-called fantasy prowess.

8.       Rollin’ 4 Deep – Finken when one of his starters gets hurt in the 1st quarter every single week...
