FANTASY FOOTBALL 2020 WEEK 8 RECAP – STUDS AND DUDS

WEEK 8 FANTASY FOOTBALL RE-CAP

NON PPR AKA STANDARD SCORING STUDS AND DUDS OF THE WEEK

Cam Newton fumbled away the game, and the Patriots lost to Buffalo 24-21. New England is on a 4 game losing streak, and rumor has it that they will start trading away their good players. The Lost Wages Raiders beat down the Browns 16-6 in the most boring game of the day. Old man Phillip Rivers threw 3 TDs, and the Colts beat the hapless Lions 41-21. The Bears are a fraud. They lost to the Saints 26-23 in overtime. The Eagles are atop the NFC East at 3-4 as they beat down the Cowboys 23-9 on Sunday Night Football. Tom Brady and the Bucs squeaked out a 25-23 win over Danny Dimes and the New York Giants on MNF.

Lamar can’t win the Big one!

The Steelers are now 7-0 for the first time since 1978 as they beat the Ravens 28-24. Former Steeler Le’Veon Bell didn’t do much against the team that cut him three weeks ago. It didn’t matter because Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are making it look too easy. He threw for 416 yards and 5 TDs against the Jets. The Chiefs improve to 7-1 and the Jets fall to 0-8.

No linemen, No Problem

Cincinnati was missing four offensive linemen and their starting running back Joe Mixon, but the Bengals still upset the Tennessee Titans 31-20 behind overall #1 draft pick Joe Burrow. The NFL’s other prized rookie QB Justin Herbert and The Chargers find new ways to lose every week. They blew a 16 point lead against Denver. Drew Lock led a crazy comeback as he threw a game-winning touchdown from the one-yard line with one second left on the clock. Broncos 31 Chargers 30. It’s Tua time down in Miami. The prized rookie QB didn’t do much, but the Dolphins defense bitch slapped Jared Goff and the Rams, making them look really bad. They had 4 turnovers in the first half alone. The Fins are now 3-3, and the Lambs fall to 5-3.

Dalvin Cook goes nuclear on Packers!

In a must-win game for Minnesota, Dalvin Cook went nuclear against the Green Bay defense by scoring 4 touchdowns, and the Vikings beat the Packers 28-22.  The Seahawks took over 1st place in the NFC West, winning 37-27 over the 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo and George Kittle had to leave the game due to injuries, and DK Metcalf had 2 TDs and over 100 yards for Seattle.
