Week 6

The Domination of the Week:  Jeff 156.66  --  74.00 Heath

Futility of the Week:  Brian for barely surpassing 100 points in a losing effort to DJ

Rivalry week is in the books and Jeff, Derek, DJ, Jake, and Evan all experienced sweet victory.  Jake's win against Barr means Barr better bust out the wallet for that shipping label for the umbrella he will ship back to Jake.  The weekend games were prefaced by a frenzy of trade action after Heath traded the farm in David Johnson for fantasy pocket change to the already stacked East Dillon Lions.  In an attempt to keep pace, Brian traded his 2017 first round draft pick to Jeff for Demarco Murray, but it was little help at least immediately.  Jeff also acquired an additional second round 2017 pick from Heath for Julian Edelman.  And in the spirit of fantasy football, he still managed to secure a very convincing victory and rack up the 2nd most points of the week despite trading away two of his top players for next to no immediate returns.

With Derek's and DJ's wins, and losses by Brian and Barr, the top of the standings come together as all four hold 4-2 records.  Evan and Heath both have 3-3 records while the rest of the league is rounded out by 2-4 records.  This apparent parity of the league figures to disperse as the talent difference of teams looks as uneven as its ever been.  To make matters worse for the competition at the top of the league, Barr suffered some potentially crippling injuries this week with Eddie Lacy and Big Ben, an injury that is sure to also impact Brian's team with Antonio Brown.  It appears as if this season is Derek's to lose, despite the unpredictable nature of the sport itself.

The Thursday game saw the Packers win easily against the Bears and a few teams had players in that matchup.  The most notable performance was by Davante Adams, who sits comfortably on the waiver wire.  Cobb turned in the next best performance for Heath who is seeking redemption this week.  Montgomery also put up solid numbers and exceeded his projection, however,  Howard, Jeffery, Nelson, and Meredith all put in sub-par performances.

Week 7 will get us over the hump of the season and a week closer to the playoffs.  The matchup of the week is 2nd place Barr vs 3rd place Brian as each cling to the upper tier of the league.
