Fantasy Football Week 5 Recap (ESPN)
Last week I got talk about winning in both of my leagues but this week I get to talk about losing in both of my leagues. This week was not kind to me at all but that’s how it goes when you’re in fantasy football. You have players that go cold, and sometimes players go hot. In my case my top players were on their bye weeks and the ones I had starting didn’t do me any favors. With that being said here are the results of my games this week.
Grandma and Uncle Jack Memorial League
Hollywood’s World of Sports (53) vs. Team Kris (54)
Starters
Alex Smith- 13

Texans D/ST- 0
Cairo Santos- 3
Bench
Marshawn Lynch- 0
Cam Newton- Bye
Greg Olsen- Bye
Brandon Marshall- Bye

Markus Wheaton- 13
My opponent had 34 points and if I would I have started Wheaton over Crabtree I would have won the matchup. I am now 2-3 in the league and have scored a total of 413 points. Next week I have 3 of my top players back so I am sure things will hopefully be a little bit different
UA GR League
Hollywood’s World of Sports (73) vs. Black Hammer: Shaft (79)

Sam Bradford- 17
DeMarco Murray- 17

Chris Ivory- Bye
Kenny Britt- 0
Anthony Fasano- 0
Rishard Matthews- Bye
Lance Dunbar- 0
Nate Washington- 0
My opponent had 33 points on their bench compared to my obvious 0. Either way you slice it they would have beaten me. I am now 2-3 in this league as well and have scored 395 points in the league. This is a tough league to be in because it has 16 teams and only four playoff spots. You have to maintain a good team and make good moves throughout the season to have a good shot at winning. Check back next week to see how I did in my leagues.
