EDOTLOCCA's Corner: 2016.5 - Week 5

Hello! I’ve returned! Some of you may have wondered where exactly it is that I went. Well, I might have been training in the skills of fantasy football writing with Tibetan monks… or I might have forgotten, like completely forgotten. But that is the past, everyone knows that Week 4 is the most boring week anyway, so let us hit Week 5 with a bang! Things are starting to heat up here in the LOC, no one is unbeaten, no one is… err… all-beaten and, at this early stage, it looks like we are shaping up for the closest LOC year yet. Buckle up boys.

Coaches Award

Big decisions is how coaches make this section of the article. Winning close games is how coaches make this section of the articles. If you told Coach Leach he would be starting a backup RB and a former Pro Bowl MVP by Week 4 at the start of the season, I imagine he would have been unhappy, but they just bought him a statement win. Plus, it always looks better when you do it on Monday night, well played indeed!
Honourable mention: Coach Merritt has taken a rag tag group and somehow squeaked a win out of them, whilst playing against a receiver that put up 300 yards, impressive stuff.

Wooden Spoon

This team looked unstoppable in the first two weeks, but since then they have looked thoroughly stopped. I am not going as far as to say the wheels have come off, but there are still lots of strong players in this team, but losing to a team that only put up 75 points doesn’t look too great. Coach Stubbs Sr. will turn it around, no doubts there.

Bold predictions

I got one! Hook line and sinker! We are 1-17 and cooking on gas people! Predicting Matt Ryan to more than triple Ryan Fitzpatrick’s score did become easier when Fitz put up -2.28 points of course, at least someone won from that horror show, well me and Marcus Peters of course. And now, we shall ride this wave of success into Week 5:

IKNAN vs. Forge Flyers: What a draft bargain Will Fuller has been, serious value pick there, Minnesota are too good though, he spends his game on the bench watching the former Pro Bowl MVP score two TDs.

Cash4Gould vs. Gridiron Gang: The rookie stands alone at the top after Week 5, the only team on 4-1, he still only makes it to spot 8 on the power rankings however.

The Dream Team vs. ADRZ: A close one goes The Dream Team’s way for once! Olsen steals it late Monday night, resulting in a 5 point win.

Patistan vs. The Bunch: Coach Nunn forgets to change his team name and logo back to The Brady Bunch – and forgets to play Brady. More Pick Sixpatrick to come!

Bear Necessities vs. Burdettinators: Starting Prescott, Sproles and White, anyone see that one coming? The three combine for a pitiful 22 points and Terrelle Pryor makes the start next week.

Tom’s Tyrants vs. The Tuckfards: A first and second round RB combo get outscored by a late rounder and waiver wire addition… yeah this one hurts.

And there you have it, your Bold Predictions for the week, fresh out the oven and now resting on the window sill, a cartoon-esque waft attracting all the eager LOC coaches. Well, get ‘em while their hot lads! See you next week! (Unless I forget again…..).
