VOL. 2022, ISSUE: 10
Sorry for my absence. Was, and still am, pretty busy with life, but I trust this meme makes up for it...
... and if not, these pictures I found at my mom's from our 8th grade "prom" should do the trick
We're well over half way through the season now, and a lot has happened! We've had more than one trade, the playoff picture is taking shape, and DWeb actually was silent in the chat for more than 24 hours
Here are a few highlights of what was missed:
Papa TIM with the PumpSlam
MARCO with a beautiful meme
If it's too small, Marco is referencing a message from DWeb, who said Marco couldn't pin down the Draft Wizard and that he didn't have Championship DNA
And ALEX moved right into NTMVRZ and made himself at home
We also had some history made!
In week 3, ERIC set a new bottom 5 lowest score, with 52.9. That put me down with the 3rd worst score in league history, knocking EDWARD's 57.3 out of the bottom 5, removing the shame from his name...
... and then two weeks later, EDWARD wanted his spot back, and scored worse than that, with 51.3, re-taking a place in the bottom 5 lol. ANDREAS came thisclose to making the bottom 5, as he is currently 6th with a score of 56 in week 7, but for now, he's untarnished. Here is the current Bottom 5 in historically low scores:
You might have made a baby, TIM, but GEOFF made HISTORY. And not the bad kind of history we're used to seeing from a Harris, but a good history. Like a new Top 5 highest score kind of history. The kind of history that knock's Marco's 5th place score off the board! (Granted, MARCO still has the top overall score, but history all the same). Congrats, GEOFF! You were also 1 player away from the elusive Nonuple-Double (Javonte Williams scored 9).
Here is the new top 5 highest scores in Nightmoverz History:
Move of the Past Few Weeks:
BRANDON - Deon Jackson (23.1). I don't remember which week it was, but I wanted to point it out because Brandon beat DWeb after picking up the player that started in place of an injured Jonathan Taylor, (JT was DWeb's 1st round pick). And yet, beating an opponent with that opponent's own handcuff is only Brandon's 2nd greatest move... A few seasons ago, he filmed the TD in real life that got him the win. Excellent movage, Dirty Commish.
DWeb - In an event that shall heretofore be known as the The Week 8 Dick Swing, DWeb beat me without a QB, and now you'll be hearing him reference The Week 8 Dick Swing for years. Sorry everyone.
Honorable mention
I dunno, there've been a lot of good moves, probably
Dishonorable mention
Some combination of TOM, EDWARD, ALEX and ERIC. You don't get to 3-7 or worse without making some bad moves. Also those of you who have started injured and bye week players, with the exception of The Week 8 Dick Swing.
PUMP of the Week:
MARCO - for that time Joe Mixon scored like 50 points
GEOFF - during the history week, Lamar Jackson scored like 40, and the Bucs D scored like 25
Dishonorable Mention:
Some combination of TOM, EDWARD, ALEX and ERIC
This week it’s good to be:
MARCO - The only team that's 8-2, and with every other team in your division having a losing record, you're all but assured a spot in the playoffz
Honorable Mention
GEOFF - must be nice to be winning despite not drafting Saquon Barkley the year he actually does well. Also congrats on playing the literal only team you could've beaten this week
This week it sucks to be:
Some combination of TOM, EDWARD, ALEX and ERIC
A little over halfway through the season, here's how things stand:
MARCO is all alone at the top of the Tops. And it is going to suck being the one deserving person in the Power Bottoms who loses out on the playoffz to a team in the Tops with a losing record. (I believe the playoffs is the top two from each division? Maybe BRANDON can clarify, since I can't remember what we decided, and if there's a wild card, etc.) The Actual Bottoms is looking like GEOFF and ANDREAS will be making the playoffz, but GABE isn't quite out of it yet.
Also, for further proof of the Schedule Warlock being more powerful than the Draft Wizard, MARCO has the fewest points-against by far, with 877.6. (GABE is the only other team under 900, with 894.5). EDWARD is the team with most points-against, with 1227.9. That is 131.7 more points-against than the next team, ERIC, with 1096.2.
In points-for land, which might matter for playoffz, GEOFF and ANDREAS are the only teams above 1100 (ANDREAS by .4 lol; MARCO is close behind with 1092.8)
Charts 'N Shit
For playoff oddz, keep in mind that this is FantasyPros basing it off just the Top 6 teams. In reality, it will come down to division standings, too, meaning a less deserving team may get in over a more deserving one. You also have to factor in bribes to the #DirtyCommish.
