2025 Week Six Recap

Let's jump right into seeing how the first North vs South rivalry week went... Oh, wait a second. The north didn't win a single matchup? Is it really a rivalry when the South is currently 11-3 against North opponents? It's disgusting how the North can shit the bed, time and time again, and there will still be a team or two that makes it to the playoffs. Meanwhile, the South has to fucking brawl with each other in hopes of sneaking out a win. This feels like one of the years where the South just runs the league, yet a North team will get hot in the playoffs and steal the championship. I'll be sick if that happens.

This week was actually a pretty boring week of fantasy. Only one close game, no exciting finishes or major upsets.. The only surprise was Ryan scoring 190pts, which might have totaled his five previous weeks combined. We currently have a team that is 5-7 that would go to the playoffs, hate that, but that's what happens when you have 6 teams advancing in a pool of 10.

Let's just jump right into it this week.

WEEK 6 PAYOUT WINNER Best Loser - Team that loses their weekly matchup with the highest point total

Cheeno, 136.54

Surprised, but not surprised. Cheeno continues to find ways to lose, but still scores respectable points. The issue is, he has already played the entire North Division and is still 5-7. He still has a handful of games against the South, which, as mentioned previously, are not easy matchups. A well-earned $20 goes to Cheeno.

START OF THE WEEK

Ryan's Entire Team (Minus Bo Nix)

Ryan's team has taken a beating through the first five weeks. Not because they're seriously injured, just because he has been shit on in the recaps week after week. I always said that Ryan's team has solid players; they just haven't hit their stride yet. Well, it finally happened this week. Ryan's team popped off for 190pts and a much-needed win after a rough start. Does this signal he's on his way up? Doubtful but frisky. Although he did use some of the FAAB this week, which shows a sign of life.

Update: Andddd... As I am writing this, the one time Ryan uses the waiver wire, he picks up a guy who just entered the concussion protocol. Just a tough look.

BLUNDER OF THE WEEK

Spencer, Miami Def - -.25pts

The easier choice would have been picking on Cheeno's Eagles Def, which had -3.75pts, but not sure anyone expected the Eagles to get blown out the way they did. Making a decision to start Miami's defense was... a decision... Incredibly ignorant to think that Miami's defense would just roll the Chargers. It takes one minute of research to find out that Miami has one of the worst defenses in the league this year. Shit, they gave up 21 points to the Jets who look like they're trying to avoid scoring. Just a tough look for a guy who is leading the North, and another reason why any team in the North cannot be trusted right now.

GAME-CHANGING PLAY OF THE WEEK

Breakout Game

There wasn't a big play of the week that makes sense here, but we have to stick to the script and pick a game-changing play. Once again, Cheeno takes a close loss, this time due to a rookie who finally had his breakout game. Tetairoa McMillan was electric when he was at Arizona, and he has already flashed in 2025, but has yet to get his TD. This week was a quiet week from Tet, but he managed to find the end zone twice - finishing with 3 catches for 29 yards. Those TDs were the difference in this week's matchup.

THE LEAGUE POWER RANKINGS

1) Goodell 2.0: Powerhouse right now.

2) Me & Mahomies ▲1: Consistent & healthy team.

3) LBJ = GOAT ▼1: Still starting Fields is wild...

4) PAC 2 Champion: Holding on to the North, for now.

5) Meat Log ▲1: Big win puts him into playoff convo.

6) Aiyuken ▲1: Allergic to wins, but still frisky.

7) El Cap ▼2: Pretender confirmed.

8) Mile High Magic ▲1: Didn't expect him to bounce back.

9) Footsteps Falco ▼1: Tough look for a promising team.

10) Romo's Reckoning: No pulse.

MATCH-UP FOR WEEK 7

All of them.

Such a good list of matchups. You have Commish vs. Lesser Commish (Worzie also Commish's a keeper league). We have Nick vs. Jon, better known as Batman vs Joker. The Forell Bros match up against each other in a Big Bro-Lil Bro rivalry. Nathan and Justin compete in almost everything, and also enjoy some type of homoerotic relationship; naturally, a perfect matchup. Lastly, a battle of the Ryans. While Probst is better known as Probst, he is still a Ryan. May the best Ryan win.

Week 7 Predictions

Commish went 3-2 in week six, overall 15-10.

Commish vs. Worzie: Commish

Jon vs. Nick: Jon

Spencer vs. Jared: Jared Cheeno vs. Nathan: Cheeno Ryan vs. Probst: Probst

WEEK 7 WEEKLY PAYOUT

Blackjack - Team with a starter closest to 21 points without going over

Still my favorite payout of the year. Every starting player is eligible, and as I have done in the past, should a player land directly on 21, I will payout $50. Man of the people.

Last week to make a statement before the mid-season awards come out. Recency bias is a real thing.

Good luck to everyone in week 7, except you, Worzie. Just another week to continue my dominant start and create separation in the South. Bolt up, bitches.
