Week 8
HAIL MARY!
Daniels drops back, scrambles, buys time, throws it deep… and Tyrique Stevenson is taunting to the crowd! Keep your head in the game… or you are going to be forced to take to Twitter/X to publicly apologize for your lack of awareness. At least he isn’t fighting his teammates on the sideline like they are doing in Seattle! The Commanders are 6-2 and leading the NFC East. Some unlikely teams leading the divisions in the NFC and the AFC has 7 teams with 2 wins or fewer. Who saw the Commanders coming?!
The Niners beat the Boys, Jameis goes for over 300 yds, the Jets blow a lead, and the Lions are scoring over 50 points! Jared Goff has 85 yds and 3 TD passes in a game that they didn’t even score in the 4th quarter. The Rams kicked things off on TNF with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back in the lineup to take down a strong Vikings team. Kyren WIlliams has scored at least 1 TD in every game this year and it even dates back to last year for 10 games in a row. Anthony Richardson is tapping out of the game in a divisional matchup with Houston and overall goes 10 for 32 and takes 5 sacks. You gotta be in shape brother, it’s Week 8! You know who stayed in shape? BRANDON MCMANUS! Two weeks in a row with game winning field goals for Green Bay and some Dubtown members think the Packers are the best team in the NFL! Foolish.
It was National Tight End Day in the NFL and it paid off big time. We are a far cry from the slow start to the season for tight ends. 177 catches is the most by TEs on any day in history. Here are all the tight ends that scored on Sunday:
Kyle Pitts (twice)
Cade Otton (twice)
Tyler Conklin
Brock Wright
Sam LaPorta
Mark Andrews
Tucker Kraft
David Njoku
Evan Engram
Dalton Kincaid
Adam Trautman
Nate Adkins
Travis Kelce
George Kittle
Tons of FF points this week and the Dubtown low point on the week is in the 90’s! Jalen Hurts rushes 3 in and throws for another, CeeDee Lamb gets 2 in the 4th quarter, and Ladd McConkey has a break out game! All of these top players are getting their FF owners in the win column this week. Kirk Cousins has another big game - we grind, we scrap, we fight, NO CAP! You can take the Minnesota out of the boy, but you can never take the whiteness out of Kirk Cousins. Marvin Harrison Jr. broke out of his slump, but he can’t break into a FF lineup. When your back is against the wall, you gotta start throwing punches, not ducking and covering.
Amari Cooper is still getting settled up there in Buffalo. Jordan Mason goes out with an injury and that could be the end of his year as the 49ers see a BYE next week and potentially get CMC back in Week 10. Thank you for your service, sir. Stefon Diggs could be out for the year which is just another win for Kirby - some guys have it all. Davante Adams doesn’t quite seem like an elite WR anymore and Geno Smith had a rough game without D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett felt the effects. With all that being said, it was a very good week for fantasy football starters and studs.
MATCHUP OF THE WEEK
King Joffrey once said, “Everyone is mine to torment!” and I believe A, B, Cee Deez Nuts 👑 took that to heart. The East Division are like the Northerners to Kirby and he has no respect for the East, but we are proud descendants of the First Men and we’ve been here for 6,000 years. Little Kirby has merely been here for a cup of coffee. He likes to keep his hands wrapped around the warm mug to keep the blood flowing in his little appendages. He finds comfort in knowing that he can turn to Cee Dee Lamb and Kirk Cousins when things get scary. Its cold in the East and we fight for our keep. We understand that we need to save our energy and we need to store our materials, our assets, and our meals come once they have been earned. There is still work to do… be careful… don’t drink the poisoned wine, Kirby. Winter is coming. The North remembers.
I digress! Kenny Walker was benched once the game got out of hand and Jordan Mason went out of the game early. It looked like that could ruin the whole FF week, but it was the Kirk Cousins and Cee Dee Lamb show, what’s new? The Cowboys are riding the coattails of Lamb right now and 2 garbage time touchdowns were good enough for Deez Nuts in Week 8. Trey McBride is looking really good this year and Boswell is a major asset at kicker, even giving Aubrey a run for his money.
Nico Suave without Nico is like the Dolphins without Tua. You’ve still got stars, but it really just doesn’t matter and you’re gonna lose every game without him. Cedric Tillman was the big brain play in Week 8 for this team and Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a FIRECRACKER! But he does no good for Nico Suave when he is on the bench and he really does no good when he is concussed and missing weeks. This team is all in on the Vikings and that’s likely the kiss of death.

OVERREACTION OF THE WEEK
The Lions are going to win the NFC. They will play the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and Patrick Mahomes will win in a 3-peat. Tell me that I am wrong. The Lions are completely rounded out from Offense to Defense to Special Teams and they are all buying in for their coaching staff. The Wild Card round will be fun but it’s always the conference winners who get the BYE and move onto the Championship games, they are just so much better than the scrappy teams.
Swag Dahdi is rolling people over in the Dubtown league and Cream Slingers are quietly putting together a winning streak. We are into the second half of the season and while some teams are out of contention, it’s still going to be a fight for the 5 and 6 seeds. Enjoy the winning streaks while they are here because the losing streaks can come just as quickly. Friendly reminder that points for matter for tie breaker scenarios.
