Almost halfway to playoffs gents. I was starting to see a path for how this season was going to play out, but between the brutal injuries and team flipping trades I’m starting to think this is all just a war of attrition. Outlast the turf monster, and devious trade offers from Josh and Max. One thing is certain though.. Dylan will send you an offer that includes Monty.
Short one this week fellas. I know I owe a shotgun - Dylan owes as well. Anyone else that I’ve missed, let’s crack some beers. Aaron - ciders fine.
The Rankings
10 - Aaron [1-5, Week 7 Matchup: Timmy]
Back to the losing column, but it was going to be tough to beat Dylan last week anyways. Tuten and Coker though, it’s nice to see those guys going off. Could be the start of something.
9 - Max [1-5, Week 7 Matchup: Charles]
A rough showing from the boys last week. Just straight up uncharacteristic performances from the boys. It doesn’t matter though, because when I’m looking at all of these single digit scores I see the fat red OFF ROSTER next to their name. We’ll see what the new look squad looks like, I feel honored to be the first to play against them.
8 - Tyler [2-4, Week 7 Matchup: Derek]
On a heater baby. Putting down the reigning champ and previous #1 no less. Some savvy waiver scoops and some consistency from Egbuka have been just what this team has needed. Keep it up, another chance to prove it against a tough team.
7 - Blake [3-3, Week 7 Matchup: Dylan]
God that was a barn burner last week wasn’t it. Congrats on the win though, gets you back to 500 and in striking distance of the playoff picture. The Swift start feels good every week, you just need the rest of the boys to turn in some spike weeks.
6 - Charles [3-3, Week 7 Matchup: Max]
My record reflects my team perfectly, middling. Lot of time in the season to get in a groove and figure it out, but I’ll tell you what the defining decisions for this week will be. Not starting Luther Burden.
5 - Derek [3-3, Week 7 Matchup: Tyler]
Little bit of a slide the last few weeks, but I don’t see you struggling to make playoffs. Kyren scored 8, Bowers scored 9. You had relative letdowns, and still scored 100. The Davonte replacement is already on your roster scoring 20 on a nuts 2026 Packers offense, you’ll be fine.
4 - Timmy [4-2, Week 7 Matchup: Aaron]
You just keep on putting up solid showings. And Ken Walker is going to carry anyways. Taylor might get a new team, it’s gotta feel great watching Loveland go off tonight, and it was kind of a down week for the rest. Burrow back in the lineup for the rest of the year - you’re set.
3 - Josh [3-3, Week 7 Matchup: Emilio]
Fine I’ll put you up here. With how you’ve maneuvered the trade market and won 3 straight you deserve it. You have Gibbs, that’s 1-1/2 players in a start. Nabers is going to keep getting peppered with targets. And shit, you have Josh Allen on a bye resting up. Top guys at every position, top team.
Side note, you’d love dynasty leagues. I can’t imagine you having access to trading 3 years worth of picks.
2 - Emilio [5-1, Week 7 Matchup: Josh]
A letdown was inevitable. It’s still a great freakin team. At full strength it’s going to be hard to beat you. And you have the 2nd best cheat code on your roster, Spencer Shrader.
1 - Dylan [5-1, Week 7 Matchup: Blake]
And the first best cheat code? Will Reichard. And Dylan gets him back this week. Enough said
Good luck everyone
Cheers
Love, your commissioner - Charles Yaeger
