Week 7: POWs triumvirate

Not POW QB Rodgers GB

Much of the magic of fantasy football is finding the right guys to play at the right time.

Dah Commish found that out the hard way with QB Rodgers GB's breakout 24-point Finks performance in Week 7. Of course, Dah Commish did not start Rodgers, who up until that week had been disappointing for his rookie Packers coach.

Rodgers' breakout week included 400-plus passing yards and five TD passes.

But Rodgers' non-Finks start led to an interesting three-way tie for Player of the Week honors. Our Finks POWs with 19 points each became RB Cook MIN, QB Cousins MIN and QB Brissett IND. The owners of the MIN players each won while Brissett's owner, Newton's Just a Fantasy, earned the first tie of the season in his match.

The magic of this blog is being able to use a Rodgers headshot since he didn't earn POW. Love the mustache. Too bad Rodgers is not wearing it during this season.

Crossover note: In a crossover Week 7, the Baugh Division topped the Luckman Division 3-1-1. The only Luckman winner was Gaga, a 45-27 winner over Roller.

Upsets come through in Week 5

The last undefeated teams in the Finks League suffered losses in Week 5. Entering Week 6, there are no more undefeated teams in the season and just one winless team remaining.

The focus on Week 6 should be the first place Baugh Division battle between the Jays (4-1) and Eggers (4-1).

The Eggers sufffered their first loss, 48-42, to Roller in Week 5. Roller was boosted by 24 of their 48 points scored by QB Watson HOU in a five TD throwing performance. Gaga also suffered its first loss in Week 5, 43-28, to the Distillers, which earned their first win of the season.

The Jays suffered their only loss of the season in Week 2 to Papa Quags in that intrafamily dual. The Canes won 55-54.

Serkus, serkus: Over the years, the most outspoken Finks League owner has to be Stan Goff of Serkus. Each week, Goff usually has a colorful comment to add with his winning score, as reported to Dah Commish.

Goff's latest:

Good thing I don't gamble on NFL games...I would not ever have predicted the Bears to lose to Raiders, my Cowboys to fall behind GB 31-3 even though Packers top receiver was out, and that the Browns would get destroyed and Chubb would not find the end zone after he lived there last week.

Also, soon as I benched Adam Theilen he has 130 yards and 2 TD, and I don't even think Mike Evans played, so I got ZERO from both receivers.

That all said, I think I somehow managed to win 41-33 thanks mostly to Russell Wilson scoring 17 points on the Thursday game and Leonard Fournette tallying 11 after coming off my bench for the first time this year.

When Just a Fantasy had 3 TD from his two Bears players I was worried and didn't feel any better when my Cowboys kicker missed a couple FG.

But again, did not expect a 49ers blowout last night and just 3 points from Chubb.

Week 4: Close call

Eggers RB Ingram BAL

It always helps to double check your numbers before reporting a Finks League final.

Eggers owner Mike Miazga was ready to concede a one-point loss until he double checked his scoring lineup. Defeat turned to victory when Miazga discovered a two-point conversion run for RB Ingram BAL to beat Serkus, 35-34.

That conversion put the undefeated Eggers over the top to stay with Gaga in the unbeaten ranks. Ingram's two-pointer came after the first score of a 31-point fourth quarter between CLE-BAL. Ingram scored after QB Lamar Jackson's 8-yard TD pass.

"I saw a couple zeroes for you and thought Ingram was a zero as well, but it turns out I lose by his 2-point PAT," Serkus owner Stan Goff emailed Miazga.
