Golden Showers Fantasy Football League Week 8

Week 8 recap

Rico (5-3) vs Josh (2-6)

This was a high-powered offensive match up. Rico's top scorer Julio Jones needed overtime to put up 32.20 points and Alshon Jeffrey added another 27.60 points. Rico's third receiver Julian Edelman added another 27.10 points. His running backs Mark Ingram and Marshall Lynch where his lowest scorers who got 15.90 and 10.20 points. It what was a huge disappointment for the Denver defense this week, they were held to single digits for the first time. Josh's team is led by QB Carson Palmer who had 374 passing yards and 4 touchdowns with your aunt and 30.56 points. Todd Gurley and Stefon Diggs both got over 20 points. Ben Watson, a bye week pick up, had nine catches 147 yards and a touchdown got him 29.70 points. Josh had his highest point total of the year and would have beaten anyone else this week. Rico gets the big win 168.58 - 156.76.

AJ (4-4) vs Matt H (6-2)

This matchup started on Thursday night Matt had Dion Lewis score 23.20 points and AJ had Rishard Matthews score 13.20 points. Matt's top receiver DeAndre Hopkins scored 23.40 points on 8 catches 94 yards and a touchdown. And that was the last of the good news for Matt. Corey Ivory scored 7.10 points and Donte Moncrief only had 3.80 points. AJ's top receiver Odelle Beckham Jr had 8 catches 130 yards and three touchdowns which gave him 39 points. Aaron Rodgers who came back from a bye was shut down on Sunday night and only scored 6.18 points. In that same game CJ Anderson had his best game of the season with 17.60 points. Everyone else did decent for AJ but it was Justin Tucker in the kicker spot that scored 20 points to put the match out of reach. Matt has a losing streak. AJ wins 147.18 - 113.78.

Mike (2-6) vs Julian (4-4)

Juliens week started a good Rob Gronkowski scored 23.30 points on six catches 113 yards and a touchdown. The rest of the week was not so good. Seven of the eight remaining players wear under the projected totals. Only the kicker went over his projection. Both receivers underperforming, both RBs underperformed. The all Bengals offensive attack let Julian down this week. Between Mike's defense the Jets and his flex position James Jones they combined for total of .20 points. In the fantasy game of the week with the Giants vs the Saints Mike had Saints top receiver Brandin Cooks scored 26.50 points and Giants quarterback Eli Manning who scored 38.00 points. Mike's outing was decent enough but compared to Julian's dismal performance Mike gets the win 113.70 - 84.84.

Chris (3-5) vs Gino (5-3)

Chris's top score Tom Brady had another great week with 30.34 points. His receivers Mike Evans and Martavis Bryant both were under the projected totals as well as his running backs Danny Woodhead and Duke Johnson Jr. Luckily the Rams defense help Chris out by putting up 12 points. Gino's quarterback Philip Rivers put up a modest 24.04 points and saw his receiver Brandon Marshall put up 19.80 points. On Sunday night Gino saw Demerius Thomas have eight catches for 168 yards which scored 24.80 points. Gino took a three point lead into Monday night. Chris had Panthers TE Greg Olsen and Gino had Colts top WR TY Hilton. Chris outscores Gino 19.90 to 2.50 points on Monday night. Chris pulls off the upset and wins 123.84 - 108.74.

Matt M (6-2) vs Reuben (3-5)

This weeks biggest blowout was not even fair. Matt had top score Drew Brees who through for seven touchdowns and over 500 yards and got 46.30 points. Matt's kicker and defense also crushed their projected totals this week. Keenan Allen had a short day who left the game early but not after catching five passes for 35 yards and a touchdown but with a lacerated kidney he is done for the year. Reuben saw not one, not two, but three of his players to go down with injury to be lost for the year. Reggie Bush didn't score a point after being taken out by the shotty Rams stadium. LeVeon Bell was bent the wrong way and he left early only scoring 7.80 points. And Steve Smith tore his Achilles but not after he had 13.20 points so that's some good news. AJ Green was a bright spot for Reuben at 11 catches 118 yards and a touchdown and score 28.80 points. None of that was close enough as Reuben is the victim of the biggest blowout for the third time in the last four weeks. Matt cruises 153.40 - 87.20.
