Good morning everyone, I hope this finds you well. We have the Week 7 Recap, Dr. Tilt’s weekly prescription, more HOT NEWS, and that is followed with the Week 8 Power Rankings. Let’s review the week.
The Game of the Week, a lot on the line, the who’s who of top tier teams.
Pistol against Daddy Wombat.
v.
Pistol started one of the three 50 point QBs this weekend. Boston Scott came through with a solid week, so did Kareem the dream Hunt. Big ouch losing OBJ for the year and Mikey T is confusing all of us. Pistol had points, but not enough. Daddy Wombat has Russ in the kitchen wrist twistin’ like a stir fry, absolutely chef boy are dee. Russ with 43, Gurley made a great fantasy play to get 21 points, D-Hop 19, Kamara 18, and even Zane Gonzalez beat out Will Lutz by 5. Daddy Wombat got it done, 146.8 to 130.5. Daddy Wombat stays at the top.
PeePaw against Mush’s Mongrels.
v.
PeePaw played it right, just wasn’t enough. This scoring total beats Mush a lot of other weeks. Perine with a score to get a dozen. Aiyuk 14.5, A.J. Brown with 24. And we have a fully healthy Davante Adams who will now maybe lose some targets to Seth Roberts, with 38.1 points. Sheesh. Do defenses not understand that he is the only guy to guard? Mush had his guys do just enough. James Robinson put up almost 30, Diontae Johnson with 24.5, Gibby with 18.8, and Clyde added 12.8. Gallup put up 0 points. These teams had a lot of highs and lows, Mush’s Mongrels mush by PeePaw 149.9 to 133.34.
Bottom Bunk takes on Bruce.
v.
This game was tough to watch. Bottom Bunk has traded for J.D. McKissic, Mike Williams, Keelan Cole, and Kendrick Bourne. Those four combined for 8.7 points. Jamaal Williams was the great start getting 19.4, David Johnson adding 14.4 helped nudge B.B. by Bruce. Bruce, the draft day drama is still looming. Bruce is seeing it firsthand. QB play he gets it wrong because he does not have an A-1 Day 1 starter in Mahomes, and Zeke is failing under a weird Cowboys team. Tyler Boyd added 22.5 and Chris Godwin, who now has a broken finger, added 19.3. Joey B threw for 47 on the sidelines this week. Bottom Bunk bests Bruce 114.35 to 101.5.
Trashman takes on Batman.
v.
I screwed up and said tell Batman to say hi in the preview, he did. Someone tell Trashman to say hi, we miss him. Trashman is finding his groove with Carson Wentz who put up almost 38 points. Kenny G, Golden Tate, and Curtis Samuel put up 14, 10, and 14 to give Trashman a good base in this matchup. Batman’s pick of the draft Davonta Freeman didn’t score a full pint, and that is what really cost him. Ronny Jones added 10, D-Swift with 12.8, and James Conner a dozen point six. Juju found something and put up a baker’s dozen, and Waller got another point ending with 14. The QB play was the difference this week. Trashman beats Batman 131.4 to 120.
CrossFit has his way with Touchdown Guy.
v.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Touchdown Guy is third in points but “7th” in app rankings. It doesn’t look pretty, but CrossFit gets it done. Tom Brady put up a cool 51.85 to lead the league at QB. T.J. Yeldon was out, but it didn’t matter. CrossFit has Lockett who added a casual 45.86 points. Cole Beasley threw in 16 and some others added normal scores to boost CrossFit to a victory. Touchdown Guy has faced CrossFit twice, both times CrossFit put up 170, the scheduling change right after the draft causes a lot of speculation of why some teams look to have easier schedules. TDG added 10 points to his week 1 matchup, but it’s not enough. Ridley and Julio put up a combined 30, Christian Kirk added 19, Keenan Allen with 17.5, and D-Train put up 14. A solid week, but CrossFit beats Touchdown Guy 173.41 to 143.75
Teach took JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons to school.
v.
Teach had a much needed bounce back week, and that was led by Aaron Rodgers with 40 and D.J. Moore with a Jumpman. Higgins, Hill, and Hockenson were his Generation X giving the Joyful Demons the suck it sign putting up 16, 14, and 14. The Chris Carson injury was the only bad thing about Teach this week. JonnyDIII has rented out a space in his head to multiple managers. Second guessing pulling the trigger on Herbert over Mahomes, he leaves a 50 burg on his bench. It wouldn’t matter, but it’s a cool thing to brag about. Chase Edmonds the now healthy starter for the Cards put up 18, Scary Terry matched, and Corey Davis added 12.5. JonnyDIII got passed the 100 point watch with Mooney, who for the love of a higher power can someone complete a deep ball to this guy. Teach wins 164.35 to 104.04.
Now we have some pick recaps.

Cleveland Browns -3 @ Cincinnati Bengals
PUSH, push it. Parkey missed PAT costs Dr. Tilt BIG.
Buffalo Bills -13.5 @ New York Jets (just keep betting against the Jets until they cover)
Miss, Jets finally covered.
Carolina Panthers +7.5 @ New Orleans Saints
Teddy2Gloves gets some love, this one was the big winner this week.
Dr. Tilt was on a great streak, a push on the week is still better than a loss.
Last Week: 1-1-1 Overall: 17-5-1
Hot off the presses we have our first three way, Touchdown Guy wanted to give up Le’Veon Bell for a Second, PeePaw and JonnyDIII were both interested. JonnyDIII has some picks, and needed an RB. PeePaw wanted to spice up his RB with a bigger name that will hopefully provide more upside and scoring potential. With Bell winning football games, I think he takes a team friendly deal with a big name next year. The three got together and made some moves. TDG sends Bell to PeePaw who sends Devin Singletary to JonnyDIII who sends a Second and Fifth to TDG. Big trade, a good trade for all involved.
Some drama before the power rankings, JonnyDIII wanted to drop Auden Tate, but the app, which cost multiple managers chances on big name free agents earlier in the year, wouldn’t let JonnyDIII drop Tate. So JonnyDIII selected Chris Thompson as the drop person being his only realistic option. Immediately reached out to PeePaw and TDG about it, they acknowledged it. JonnyDIII then reaches out to the one person who can control these things and that person says no. This same person has had the most favorable schedule, has the third least amount of points. App ranks him in first, doesn’t follow the taxi rules, makes up rules about having to start certain players and so on. JonnyDIII requests a reasoning, says he can’t explain why but refuses to correct it. Unreal. However, the 11 other managers seem to have agreed that this is something that the commissioner should handle, but are willing to allow JonnyDIII put in a $1 claim to pick up Thompson drop Tate on Thursday when Thompson’s waiver goes through. It’s good to know there are still good people out there.
Now the Power Rankings.
Teach rejoins CrossFit and Daddy Wombat back at the top, last week proving to be a fluke. Touchdown Guy gets a little love, but is going to need to prove it going forward. Bruce is back on the bottom, really in a league of his own.
That does it for this week, I will see you tomorrow for the Week 8 Preview. I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
