NDHFFL Week 8 In-Review

Da Schwam had a bad weekend all-the-way-around ... 1st losing week in Pigskin Pick 'Em (went 6-7 this weekend, against the spread) ... 1-3 in my FFL Predictions (17-15 in 2009) ... And the Shogunate fell to 2-6 for the season, which means I pretty much need to run the table these next 5 weeks to have a chance at the playoffs!

Snapp outlast Da Gun (117-96) -- UUUGGGGHHHH! Good game for Snapp as he is now firmly entrenched in the playoff picture (5-3) after his victory over my struggling fantasy squad.

J$ destroys the Phockers (149-76) -- "Welcome back to fantasy relevance, Chris Johnson!" ... Talk about a return to glory for Jilbert's boyz ... 7 starters in double-digits ... Jennings comes back to life ... I'm still not a big fan of his QB situation, but Jilbert should remain in the hunt with his backfield. The Phockers loss still leaves me 2 games out of the playoff pic, so that is good, i guess?!?

Raiders dealt crushing loss at the hands of Mad Dog (109-88) -- Wes's previous iron-clad grip atop the league table, seems to be fading quickly, as his lead has slipped to a mere 1-game (with four 5-3 teams nipping at his heels). It's not that Murphy had a great weekend, but more that Raiders' chinks are starting to show ... Manningham was inactive this past Sunday ... Owen Daniels is out for the season ... Wes picked up Holt on Sunday morning, but then played him instead of Shiancoe (when he shoulda started Holt in place of Manny, as his inactive status was known on Sunday morning, prior to 10am).

SoCal Strikers crush Burtonics (110-63) -- Burton does his best Dan Snyder impression by making a huge trade for Bulger & Slaton and then doesn't spend the time on Sunday to place them in the lineup ... Now I know it wouldn't have made a difference in the end score, but it does show a level of fantasy incompetence. If Burton loses this weekend (Week 9), he may be all but mathematically out of the playoff pic.

Gellis is the division leader after his defeat of the Demmelitions (123-105) -- This victory was won with the wiley pick-up of CHI D on Sunday morning by Gellis ... On the flipside, Demmel may have lost this weekend with his last minute move to pick-up Fitzpatrick (over Sanchez ... REALLY?!?!).

Anyway, that's it for this week (... good riddance) ... Now onto Week 9!
