Match-Up Build-Up Week 10

 

1. The Perpetual Dynasty (4-5) vs The Glorious Morgans (5-4)

TPD's insertion of McCaffrey into his starting lineup was just as explosive as others predicted. They scored 180 points and sent a shot across the bow of every other team. TPD is 2nd in points on the season but only sit 6th in the standings. They've only scored below 120 points twice all season, but it hasn't helped them secure wins consistently, as they have been missing out on the good fortune others have been benefiting from. The talent is real, but the clock is ticking. They have to keep winning in order to make the playoffs. The fact that four teams sit with records of (6-3) or better is hurting their efforts. Every other playoff combatant is praying that this team does not make the playoffs. 

After three straight weeks of scoring below 120 points, The Morgans blew up last week securing a huge victory over Stros. This team seems to go as Josh Allen goes. They still lead the league in points scored, but much of that production came early in the season. The jury is still out on them, but a win this week against TPD would be huge for their playoff hopes. They are running low on waiver cash, which may hurt them down the stretch. 

This game has massive playoff implications, with the loser perhaps being on the negative side of chances. The top two point scoring teams in the league will put on a show come Sunday. This is a blue blood match-up you never want to miss. 

2. Unstopa-Bo (6-3) vs Imposing Monstrosity (7-2)

UB has won 5 out of 6 games. They are averaging a respectable 125 ppg during that stretch but have slowed a bit, only averaging 113 ppg in their last four contests. Their best player this year is on bye this week, Kelce, and without Jackson being superman it is pretty remarkable they sit 2nd in the overall standings. If they can maneuver the byes this week they have a solid chance at victory, but no team has been as hit or miss as this one all season. Stay tuned. 

Stros' fortunate wins during the first half of the season are paying off, as the team is struggling mightily currently. They have scored over 122 points just once in their last six games, and over the last two weeks they have produced 94 and 104 point totals. They're 6th in total points scored but 1st overall standings. Holding them back has been the below average play of Taylor, a player they were hoping would ascend to top 5 RB heights. D.J. Moore has been a disappointment as well. It is hard to tell which direction they will turn, but they are still in a great spot considering their overall record. This is a huge game for them. 

3. Coop and McCoy are heavy favorites in their match-ups. A loss for either one of them would be disappointing, considering how tight the playoff race is.
