2021 - Week 4 Recap
Good day to you all.
Well, well, well. I won again. Wait...
Son of a bitch. I lost again. Whatever.
I'll be honest, I did not pay attention to football very closely this past weekend. So, that's my excuse if this recap sucks more than normal. Winky face
Also, I'm not proofreading this one (like normal). _Full disclaimer_
Interesting Tidbits
Four weeks in, let's see how things are shaping up.
There are 5(!) teams at 1-3. I don't know if this has ever happened in our league.
One of those teams is the Champ-Champ.
Three of those teams are at the bottom of the Points For category.
Enough about those losers. (I'm one of 'em.)
Three teams scored in the 140s. Two of those teams played one another.
Let's talk about who's ranked #1.
(Looks at who is ranked #1)
Nevermind
Notable Injuries
I didn't bother with injuries this week.
Leader and Loser
Points Leader: Not shaving my legs for this(146.2)
Well, go ahead there, Not shaving, withcha bad self. Look at what happens when Saquon does Saquon things. Looks like he's warming up. Hmm. It's either that or the fact that he played the Falcons last week. Haha. I do remember in Week 2's Recap that I said if Saquon can get healthy and you stop facing the Points Leader then you can bounce back. Looks like it finally paid off.
Dud: The Tay(77.72)
NOT ME THIS TIME. Wahoo! It was The Dud Abides. ;) Looks like Mike Williams couldn't sync up with his QB and Thielen only brought in three of his eight targets. Prior to Week 4, Mike Williams and Thielen were averaging 21.4 and 16.5 per game, respectively. In this bout, they totaled 7.3 points.
Oof. Better luck next time. Well, not next time. You play me next time. You know what I meant though. You know what? Just...just nevermind.
Week 4 Game Notes


Remember when I dropped Mike Gesicki after Week 2? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
First two weeks, this numbnuts averages 2.65 a game and then the next two weeks, he averages 13.15 a game. That had no bearing on this game because Jared Cook got me 15.4 but I pointed it out to let you all know I'm really good at managing Fantasy Football and totally know exactly when to drop a player. Oh, and I picked up the Raiders defense after Week 2 and they've scored a total of 5.0 points since (0 while playing against Little Giants).
I'm like, really good at Fantasy Football.
The difference in this game is the Little Giant's team simply performed by having only one player, Marvin Jones, not do well.
How the Hell does Tom Brady average 28.82 a game for three weeks, then scores only 11.06 when I'm playing the Little Giants, and the Bucs still win? I wish the Patriots had made that field goal. Haha. DOINK.
Whatever. Good job, Little Giants. Now go to your room.



Damn, I hate to admit it but the Rev. is the first person to break 600 Points For and he's ahead by a solid margin. He was damn near the Points Leader. He's averaging 153.55.
I was told to give credit when credit is due. So, the Rev. you're kicki...
You know what, just read what I wrote above. Shut up.
Not much can be said in one that was so lopsided. Heg's team had solid performances from pretty much you would expect to have good games and shit, well, The Couple had a bunch of people underperform, just like I did.
Speaking of underperforming, The Couple has had a rough go so far and are one of the three teams at the bottom of Points For, along with me and Champ-Champ. We'll all turn things around soon, right? ....Right?


This one was boringly more interesting than the previous game I just discussed. I mean, what a snooze fest.
But seriously, it looks like Dalvin still isn't over that ankle injury and honestly, that would worry most team owners in starting him again. I mean, don't get me wrong, people will still start him but in the back of their heads, they'll be worried. Haha. I already discussed the woes of Williams and Thielen. When you have all that going for you then tack on that Kelce hands in a whopping 3.9, you're going to have a bad time. Better luck next time, man. Wait, wait. No, nevermind. ;)
What's up Champ-Champ? Having some performance issues, buddy? Don't become the chump-chump double pump on us. Haha. But really, though, Nyheim with -0.1 points? That's lame. Has anyone else had a player you started turn in negative points for you this season?
And you would think with Mac Attack still not playing, Chubba would be producing more but it looks like they aren't going to utilize him like we all probably thought. I know I tried to go after him. I was hoping to snag him in a Mike Davis type of thing from last year.


Well, damn, Vu, you're undefeated still. Look at that shit. You're frigging 6th in Points For, though. How the Hell does that work?
You're still being carried by Mahomies and the breakout performance from Cordarelle (31.6) gave you the edge over Two Words. I'm thankful for this. :)
Watch out, though. Your average margin of victory is only 13.45 a game. That's largely in part due to beating Not shaving by 38.88 a game. You take that game away and your average margin of victory drops to 4.97.
Are you getting worried your luck will run out soon? I mean, you do play the Rev. in Week 5...
Oh, and Pioli, I didn't forget about you. Just imagine me making a fart noise at you with my butt or mouth. Choice is yours.


You know, it really sucks when you score enough to beat seven or eight other teams but you happen to face one of the top two scores that week and still lose. I think we've all been there, watching our team kick ass, and we end up losing. Hell, I remember something like that happening with me and Heg a couple years ago when he was hanging at my place. I got a strong lead and laughed and laughed and laughed and then boom, my team started to just...lose. Haha. And lose I did.
Sucks, nice TE, but I'm happy for you Not shaving! Maybe you're back to Racheling people?!
I'm not going to break this matchup all the way down but I will point out that it's funny the key difference in this game was defense. Not shaving had the Bills score her 21 while nice TE had his defense do normal defense things by scoring 4. That's a tough pill to swallow when you score 144.26 and expect the W.
And by W, I mean a wrister from the Rev.
What a barnburner this one was.

Side Pieces
Welp, after four weeks, we have two undefeated teams, five at 1-3, and a few in between.
Hey, not trying to be all optimistic on you losers at the bottom, but with half the league in your same position and six teams that go to the Winner's Bracket, there's still plenty of time for us to gut one another and solidify a playoff spot.
Matchup(s) to Watch
I know I was talking shit but, somehow Vu finds a way. Anyone care to take a bet on this one?

Looks like the rivalry will be continuing between me and The Tay.
As always, good luck to you all (not all of you) in Week 5. The Tay...
