Menace Mashup 2018: Week 6

Wow.  One week of radio silence and it seems like the world is going to end.  OK, maybe I exaggerate a little bit, but I once again was reminded this weekend how much the world needs the mashup.  So I decided to give myself a trophy:

Yeah that's probably the only trophy my team will win this year.  Can't blame it on injuries or bad luck this time.  I just got a bad team worthy of a bronze commode.  It just goes to show that fantasy football is fickle one.  One year, David Johnson is the Fantasy MVP.  The next...he's everyday street trash.  Patrick Mahomes...whoa.  Where did this kid come from?  The more you know.....

How did the champ do? The 2017 and 2015 champs squared off in a battle of wits...and the fantasy teams didn't exactly impress.  Zach is gonna ride DeShaun Watson like a rented mule, even if he puts up a negative 3 like he did on Sunday.  Fortunately the slack was picked up by Julio, Latavius, and the Seattle D who nearly pitched a shutout on the pitch of Wembley.  JP countered with Jalen Ramsey's Jags...and he was lucky they didn't go negative.  34 from Matty Ice wasn't enough as the Bucs lost a heartbreaker in Atlanta, and Zach survives by a score of 112-88 in an underwhelming week to pull to 3-3.

Game of the week Tom put his trash talk to the test up against old nemesis Kent, and left speechless.  Todd Gurley made his case for back to back MVP awards droppin' 2 bills on the Broncs and half a point short of a 40-burger.  3 more 20-point scores from Luck, Manny, and a guy who moonlights as a tennis player pushed Kent to a nearly high score of the week.  Tom figured that his strategy of trash talk and self-written mashup items would lead his team to success on the fantasy field.  Oddly enough, that hasn't happened.  4 losses later and Tom is...yeah.  Kent is 4-2 thanks to 18 from Harrison Buttkicker and a 170-105 dismissal of the Backster.

Blowout of the Week Why didn't 170-105 qualify as the blowout of the week?  Try 201-76 (yes folks that is not a typo). Chris once again starts to dominate the regular season with this destruction of Dewey.  This year if you own a Kansas City Chief, you're probably gonna be happy.  This year, Chris kept Tyreek Hill who just doesn't get tackled.  Ever.  He got some help too from 4 more 20-point scores including 27 from the Houston defense, who took advantage of Buffalo the way the Minnesota Vikings couldn't.....ahem.  What did Dewey get?  45 combined from Zeke Elliot and the Rapist...and nothing else.  Dewey was looking like he was going to recreate some magic from his 2016 championship campaign, but this week put an end to any of those thoughts.

Toilet Bowl Alvin Kamara was on bye...and so was the rest of the commissioner's squad.  I think the commish has a knack for drafting guys who are allergic to paint.  That can be the only reason why the guys on his squad can never seem to find the end zone.  For his part, Sean underperformed dramatically despite a 130 point projection, but Brady, Brown, and Sony Pictures Television did their job and that was more than enough to the the K-bosh on the commish, earning his chocolate commode and pretty much ending any and all hopes of getting his name engraved on the real Menace trophy.  Sean wins 109-85.

This week's other results:
Bruce (4-2) defeated Nate (4-2) 146-121
Jeff (2-4) defeated Patrick (2-4) 149-137
Weekly pot winner: Chris (201 points...yikes).

Yeah so about that thing I said about having KC Chiefs and feeling good?  Even Mahomes and Hunt were not good enough for Nate to get by Bruce.  See you next week.
