Well, that was ridiculous and sad. I did not crest a hundred points...and yet for the second time this season I have beaten the top-ranked team. Beyond unlikely.
All you have to know is
Derrick Henry had a monster game with 228 yards of offense and a pair of TDs in Tennessee's beating of Houston for
35.30 points. I had nobody else make double digits, including QB
Daniel Jones who I picked up off of the waiver wire like dogdirt on the lawn while Herbert and The Chargers were on BYE.
Mostert and the running game were barely involved in Miami's big win, Saint
Taysom Hill ceded all of his work to Kamara who was back in 2019 form,
Gus Edwards was looking good for Baltimore until he strained his hamstring after a 22-yard run, and on and on.
I was done after the 4:00pm Sunday window and managed only 91.72 total points. On the other side, Titletown had some crap results too, including an unlikely 0.70 from Davante Adams. But he had TWO players left for MNF - Bengals star QB Joe Burrow and kicker Evan McPherson. He needed 34.83 points between them. Might have made for a tight night especially as Burrow's last two fantasy totals were 45.24 against Arizona and 38.50 against New Orleans. Those of you who watched the Halloween game know Cleveland absolutely dominated the line. After the first half Joe had barely a point after an interception, losing a fumble, and suffering sack after sack. He got some late garbage positives when the game was well out of hand but still finished with only 17.48 points in the rout. McPherson was even worse, making only one extra point.
I won 91.72 to 75.38. So I am back to .500 at 4-4. Ugly.
I would have liked it to be much closer, for Burrow to have a more Burrow-like showing. In my other league it was down to my QB versus my opponent's, at a near tie going into MNF. He had Jacoby Brissett starting in place of Herbert and I had Burrow. I lost 119.42 to 116.38. I needed one more drive by Cincy. Had I pulled it out I would have been in first place all by myself. Now I drop down to third. Ugly again.
