Khalil Herbert smashed for the Bears this weekend. His 29.9 fantasy points was a career best and the second highest score on the week. Sadly for Jolly Roger, his manager, Herbert is on the taxi squad so the points did not count.
In the closest game of the week Adam just barely squeaked past the Wildcats winning by 0.06 points. Just one more yard would have changed the outcome for the Wildcats, but it was all too much for Melvin Gordon and Brandon Aiyuk. One measly yard.
Power rankings
Even a down week with a loss wasn’t enough to dislodge Jolly Roger from the top of the power rankings. And with the loss we are down to a single undefeated team - Wizard Of Oz stands alone. The lower half of the rankings saw quite a bit of shuffling around. Joe Dubya’s good week saw him move up to fourth, his highest rank this season.

Survivor pool
I forgot to reset the survivor pool last week, so no one could actually enter. But it is ready to go now, so get your picks in!
Blunder of the week
Jason wins the honor of the blunder of the week for starting Darrell Henderson over Isaiah McKenzie. Henderson, the backup in LA, had four carries for just 17 yards. McKenzie, a starter, had seven receptions for 76 yards. That would have been enough to get Jason a win over GS all by itself, but McKenzie also scored a touchdown and had a rush for six yards.
