Week 6 Recap: Stros pummels TPD
Morgans survive in low scoring mega-matchup
Brock dominates rival while scoring 106
McCoy wins due to rival missteps
UB blow-ups against down on luck TDs
Week 7
1. The Perpetual Dynasty (4-2) vs The Glorious Morgans (5-1)
TPD was destroyed last week as they scored a horrible 66 points. It was a poor showing for a team trying to move past the Beckham injury. They simply cannot find any production from their RBs. They made more trades this week to try and bring new talent into the fold, but it is anyones guess as to how they will perform. Still, this team is way better than they showed last week and they will have a chance to prove it this week against the best team in the league. They will hope for bounce back performances from everyone on their roster, especially their studs.
The Morgans have won 4 straight games. They have the most points in the league and are currently in 1st place. The life of their roster, their RBs, continue to play at a pace that is hard to believe. Fournette has scored a TD in every game this season and Hunt continues to perform each week. When they have had bye weeks their bench players have stepped up in key spots. Players love playing for this manager and this team. Their WRs have not performed at the level expected of them but they still have depth there. Their victory over Loco last week proved they are the top dog entering week 7.
This is a huge East division showdown. TPD has a few players on bye while the Morgans look fully loaded. It is not often that TPD is the underdog but that is the case here based on how each squad is performing entering this week. The Morgans will want to win as many games as possible, because as the proved last year, a season's fortunes can change at any moment. TPD wants to keep pace with the pack and gain confidence in a team that just scored 66 points. The Morgans have better match-ups.
Matchup ratings:
TPD- Poor (+, ---, ====)
Morg- Good to Great (+++++, -, ==)
Key Battle:
(Kelce vs Jenkins) The TEs may tip the scale for this match-up.
2. Unstopa-Bo (2-4) vs The Real McCoy (3-3)
UB came to play last week and their squad now has some life to it. They had huge performances from their RBs and their WRs. Their starting lineup looks strong if they can keep the momentum for week 7. This may have been a sign of things to come for a team with multiple good players, though the margin for error is slim based on their early stumbles.
McCoy finally had a big week from their roster and their fortunes are pointing up as well. They enter week 7 at a very respectable (3-3), even though they are 2nd to last in points scored. McCoy finds ways to win every season, but last week was something different entirely. They won by 10 points, but their opponent failed to start two players, their QB and defense. It was an unforgivable error on Tavon's part, but one that McCoy will certainly take. The jury is still out on McCoy, but being (3-3) is a godsend for a team that knows how to put good players on the field.
Both teams need to keep winning. This is a big West division battle. Whoever can carrying the momentum from last week will win this match-up.

3. El Pollo Loco (4-1-1) vs Tavon and Only (2-4)
Loco lost in last week's top match-up. While the loss hurts, they are more upset by how the team performed in a winnable game. The Zeke chronicles continue to be a cloud over this franchise, but that was always going to be the case when they drafted him. They are hoping beyond belief that Zeke is not suspended during crucial late season games, but that is out of their hands. The hot start has been huge for this team and they continue to hold sway in the West division, as one of the best teams in the league. Last week was a tiny stumble against the league's best.
Tavon inexplicably failed to start two players last week. It is a tarnishing look for a previous champion.
Matchup ratings:
Loco- Good (+++++, --, =)
Tav- Poor (++, -----, =)
Key Battle:
(Elliott vs Gordon)
4. I Love Brock N' Roll (2-4) vs Imposing Monstrosity (2-3-1)
Brock gained a massive victory over their rival in week 6. They have fought admirably after losing their star RB. Their free agent pickups and roster maneuvering have allowed them to stay competitive. The season still remains an uphill battle.
Stros had the biggest win in the franchise's young history last week over TPD. They dominated their new rival. They have great depth at RB but their WRs have been suffering injuries as of late. They will need to string a few wins together to keep pace but this team will compete all season. Bell is their one true firepower star, they will need to rely on him the rest of the way. McKinnon has played great after being thrust into the lead role.
Stros has some good matchups for this week.
Matchup ratings:
Brock- Average to Good (+++, -, ====)
Stros- Great (+++++, ===)
Key Battle:
(Allen vs McKinnon)
5. La Flama Blanca (4-2) vs ShowMeYourTDs (1-5)
LFB has two straight weeks of scoring in the 60's. They lost the heart of their team last week, Rodgers, to injury. They will still compete but they have to turn it around somehow. The fact that they are (4-2) is unbelievable.
TDs cannot catch a break. They are 5th in total points but sit dead last in the standings. Look for them to be a giant killer down the stretch. They need to remember the Morgans from a year ago, there is still hope.
Matchup ratings:
LFB- Good (+++++, --, =)
TDs- Average (+++, --, ===)
Ket battle:
(Prescott vs Wentz) Two of the best QBs and neither were drafted.
