WHATS LEFT GOING INTO MONDAY!
For the officially finished games...
COLLEEN DEF. JARED, 114-93
We all know how much Colleen really wanted this to be a close, grind it out rivalry for bragging rights, but the truth is, its hard to imagine a scenario where Colleen didn't win this match up. Jared's skill players have sunk to fantasy lows, and after a strong start, it looks as though Jared's team has officially hit the shitter.
It's almost to the point where Colleen probably can't be overly excited or proud about the win, as a win over this kind of a team is just sort of expected. Like an NFL team playing a group of kids with down syndrome.
NEAL DEF. KEVIN, 114-102
Valiant effort by Brennan to storm back in the later part of the day, but in the end it just wasn't enough to knock Neal off the unbeaten pedestal. Neal's undefeated chances took a hit when the Raven's D and Ray Rice combined for a subpar, not very Ray Rice like performance on Thursday. But the Fighting Calvins found a way, behind stupendous efforts from Matt Ryan, AJ Green and Dwayne Bowe. Jordy Nelson was also key in the victory.
Kevin, on the other hand found some strength and even positives in the loss. The Patriots do indeed have a run game with Stevan Ridley... albeit against the Bills woeful defense, which might be the biggest NFL disappointment thus far a quarter the way through the season.
Games essentially over...
ERIC LEADS MONICA, 145-75
In a parallel universe in which Miles Austin gets an automatic 50 points to start the game for being handsome, Monica would at least have a shot. Miles Austin is not a 70+ point player, nor really all that handsome, so Monica is going to fall to Eric for her 4th straight loss. The Triple D's are still looking for their first career win, but she will have to wait another week.
Only two players on Eric's roster scored under 10 points, and San Fransisco's Defense was the highest scoring fantasy play in all of Week 4 (tied with Tom Brady). All three of Eric's running backs were better than 17 points, and a combined 26 point effort from the WR's capped the best overall week by a fantasy team this season in the GDL. Great momentum push going into next week's showdown with Jon.
A Game going down to the wire...
JOSH LEADS JON, 71-62
Both these squads have looked inept, to say the least in Week 4. Nunen holds the 9 point lead going into Monday night, and still gets the Bears' Defense put into play as well. Dez Bryant probably won't provide much buffer for Josh, but he's better than nothing.
Meanwhile, Backus will have to rely on DeMarco Murray and Brandon Marshall to provide the big push to compete for the lead. A win over Josh will go a long way for Jon, as a win would cement a three way tie in the Korn Division with Eric and Jared, with a chance to knock Eric out of it next week...
God I hate my team. Anyone want my players. I don't like them anymore.
