Week 8 - MOLW and MOTW

One piece of news: I will be changing the time for trade review from 2 days to 1 day. I believe this will help people who are trying to trade facilitate the trade more quickly and not hold up players while waiting for confirmation. As a reminder, I will be letting basically any trade go through since the agreement between two teams on what looks to be an uneven trade could be due to different valuations by the different managers. Unless there is obvious collusion (which will then be investigated), expect all trades to be allowed.

On to our ridiculous MOLW

MOLW:

Jung vs. Biggie

It all came down to Monday night where Jung just needed 5.7 points from Jimmy Graham. He got oh so close with 5.6 points but the most ridiculous part of that was when Jung was down .52 points, Jimmy caught the ball and proceeded to gain.... 0 yards. Afterwards, he didn't see the field again. However, losing on Monday night was probably better than the alternative: Biggie actually got a stat correction and New England got credit for a blocked kick that earned him an extra 2 points. Imagine going up by a point on Monday night, only to lose it to a stat correction later in the week.

MOTW
1. Microgement vs. 2. BEST TEAM
Was there any other choice? The top 2 teams face off to stay at 1 loss. Both teams have proven they belong here and want to get one step closer (as well as create a cushion) to the bye. Who will reign supreme?

Studs: Wilson vs. Brown

I'm pretty sure any week Dan is in the MOTW, Russell will be his stud but this week should present a great opportunity. A weakened SF defense is exactly what Russell is probably looking to destroy as a bounce back game from last week's loss. Expect 3+ TDs. AJ Brown is entering the elite conversation as any game he plays, he becomes a target monster. Against a Cincy defense that got torn apart by Baker Mayfield, expect a monstrous outing.

Duds: KC offense vs. Carr

KC's offense doesn't suffer from a lack of talent. Instead, they might have too much. As we saw in last week's win over the Broncos, their own success could be the biggest limitation. Expect this game to be over at halftime, limiting the opportunities for Kelce and Hill. Carr faces a pesky defense that can get at the QB. Carr doesn't fare well under pressure and this could be a sub-20 point game for him.

X-Factors: Jefferson vs. Tucker

Justin Jefferson will get involved early and often as the Vikings try to keep up with the Rodgers-led Packers offense. He's become a favorite of Cousins and while the Packers secondary isn't awful, the sheer volume of targets could make for a huge day. Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh is always a bloodbath, usually being decided by the slimmest of margins. I could see a FG battle brewing and see Tucker coming out with 15+ points.

Key Players on Bye:

Dan - Fuller: Losing his WR2/3 will hurt. We'll see if it's the deciding factor.
Mike - None

Winner: Mike

I think the explosivity doesn't show up for Dan's team this week and when push comes to shove, Mike has a more talented fantasy roster. Wilson is the only piece of Dan's team that scares me but top to bottom, I'll have to pick the team with more opportunities for big games.

Good luck to all!
