2025 Week 8 LoL FFL Post

BROUGHT TO YOU BY NAZ THIS WEEK SINCE KCOS DECIDED TO SIT IN JACUZZI ALL WEEK... But I am also busy, so it'll be short and sweet this week. Apologies in advance!

Parth v Ahsan

Baker Mayfield, a top 10 QB this year averaging 17.5 points/game, only has 4.0 points against New Orleans?! How does that happen??? Bo Nix, on the other hand, against Dallas: exactly as you'd expect it to go, 23.7 points! Derrick Henry did what he could for Parth, giving him almost 20 points and accounting for 35% of the team's total. Another rough week at the helm for Parth, garnering the week's low, 58.0 points. Not much production from anyone else in this matchup, except for the explosion that is a boom or bust player like no other: James Cook, with 33.6 points against the abysmal Carolina defense. He provided more than enough to get Ahsan the win this week and didn't need Saquon...

Chris v Rimmel

Chris easily replaced Warren with Gadsen and produced 16.2 points, but subpar games from everyone else except Daniel Jones, meant that it wasn't enough. The Cowboys allowed for Troy Franklin of all people to just go off for almost 24 points. That along with the double TE play that worked out this week for Rimmel allowed for another win, benefiting from another matchup in his favor, taking advantage of the 4th least points scored against on the season. No Amon-Ra and no JSN, an injured Pacheco and Judkins... no problem, the team finds a way!

Kcos v Humza

CMC with only 8.3 points?! Absurd! Breece Hall with 31.7 points?! Bijan with only 4.3. points?! Joe Flacco with 24.2 points?! What a weird week... All that along with Humza's defense and kicker combining for 32 points carried him to victory and $10. Not much else to mention here.

Yas v Sean

The lack of WR's producing all year and the straight 0.0 points from Jake Ferguson after 6 straight double digit weeks was a tough pill to swallow for Yaseer. The QB, RBs, and K showed up but it wasn't enough against the absolute massive 29.8 points from Tucker Kraft. Sean literally said I'll take a -9 from my defense and still win, NEGATIVE NINE. I don't think I've ever seen that low of a score. I actually didn't think it was possible for a defense to give up between 35-45 points, 500+ yards, and not record a single turnover or sack... What an all-time performance by the Bengals defense. Nevertheless, a win is a win, and Sean gets a big division win to put him in 2nd in the division and Yaseer in last place in the division.

Ali v Alex

Ali's post trade team put up a solid fight but it wasn't enough against Alex. A 20 point outburst from Vidal and Boswell allowed for everyone else to just do their job and secure the win. A solid double digit game from everyone else except Kincaid provided their support. Even with bench replacements or with JJ still on the team, it wouldn't have been enough for Ali to get the win. Ali is headed towards a last place matchup with Parth and Alex looks poised for a playoff push.

Naz v Colten

SKATTEBOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Barkley and Taylor absolutely go off and carry my team, but a brutal season ending injury for my guy. Thoughts and prayers!
