High 5'n White Guys 8-0 Top 3 - 10 Weeks

Good move on Keenum. Starting Smith would have led to a tie. Trade idea...Hunt for Ryan and Johnson...who says no?

Llamas Fantasy Football Team 6-2 Top 3 - 2 Weeks

Cracking 50 is the surest way to beat the Merry Men. 6th Team in a row to do so.

Bear Poop 5-3 Top 5 - 2 Weeks

Did just enough to get the win over the Eaters, but its weeks like this that make me wonder if they can get hot enough to win two or three games in a row in the playoffs.

Chunky Chickens 5-3 Top 5 - 9 Weeks

In a bit of a slump but have a lot of get right matchups on tap in week 9. This Chickens and Dragons game could see both teams get into the 70's.

Apple Eaters 4-3-1 Top 5 - 8 Weeks

Only winning every other week is allowing Buddies and Thugs to catch up. Will be interesting to see if they can hang on and make the playoffs.

Burger Buddies 4-4

Mike finally gets the complete team effort he has been waiting all year for and it is a terrifying glimpse of the future for the rest of the AFC West.

Memphis Brothers 2-6

Week 8 results in yet another loss by less than 10. Wouldn't be a YFFL season unless the Brothers were letting Bri down one way or another.

Asian Orangutangs 5-3

I've figured out why the 'Tangs lost this week. They started 5 former MM and FM's. Osweiler, Kittle, Reed, Prater, and Moncrief.

Snapdragons 3-5

Despite 3-5 record just a game back in the playoffs. Remember when in the preseason everyone was talking about how superior the NFC was to the AFC?? Certainly not turning out to be the case.
