Oh, how the mighty have fallen. And I'm not even talking about Aaron Rodgers. (Sorry, David.)
SugaLumps, he of avatar fame and the 4-0 start, has lost two games in a row and is now tied for third place. Let's hope this streak continues ... because he plays the Mullets this week.
SugaLumps' downfall would normally mean NEW AVATAR ALERT. But alas, as league rules (arbitrarily made up by me) stipulate, the avatar is to remain unchanged until one team has sole possession of the top spot. And we have two teams tied for first at 5-1.
(Fun fact: The only loss for both 5-1 teams was to ... SugaLumps.)
KB's Belly Shirts has had a strong showing in his first RWC season, despite missing the first half of the fantasy draft. (I'm learning more and more that autodrafting is not necessarily a bad thing ...) His only loss came to SugaLumps (107-69) in Week 2.
After losing to SugaLumps 109-92 to open the season, Muscular Mathletes has reeled off five straight wins.
Who will take the avatar? We'll see. The two don't play head to head until Week 11, but if things keep going this way that will be a HUGE matchup.
Behind those top two, four teams are tied at 4-2, four more are tied at 3-3, and five are tied at 2-4. And then, well ... yeah ... something witty is 0-6. I've said my piece on this.
Awards
The highest scorer from Week 6 was the aforementioned Muscular Mathletes with 114 points in a HUGE win over There's no 'I' in team, which ...
... won the Sad Trombone Award for this week with a pathetic 42 points.
The crazy thing is only one player in that matchup scored negative points, and it was J-Stew on the Mathletes. But she also had Ingram (25), Bell (25) and the Rams' D (20?!?!). Meanwhile, There's no 'I' in team had only one player — Ben Roethlisberger — score in double digits. He had 11. That's not great.
In an unusual twist this week, the Johnny Football Award for Poor Decisions goes to two teams that played each other: Get Off My Dak and Academic Probation. So. Many. Points. Left on the bench in this one.
Get Off My Dak won 83-73 but Dak left AP (25), Palmer (20) and Crabtree (11) on his bench. In their place, he started Freeman (7), Ryan (11) and Hogan (1). By my math that's 27 points left on the bench. (I'm not messing with decimal points.)
On the other side, Academic Probation left Watson (23), Ivory (13) and Ginn (12) on the bench and started Brady (16), Murray (3) and Garcon (5). That's 24 points on the bench.
Basically, if either had made better decisions this could have been a totally different game.
Finally, the Grumble Grumble Award goes to PerpetualMotionSquad, which lost to Cant Be That Hard 91-88. Sure, it's hard to complain when your kicker scores 18 points on a Monday night game, but all PMS needed was one more friggin' field goal. Ryan, you Succop. (I basically gave this award to make that lame joke. Deal with it.)
This week
I really thought there was a game in London this week but apparently I'm wrong. That's next week. So you just need to worry about bye weeks for the Lions and Texans.
(Next week is gonna be brutal: Six teams are on bye.)
Eleanor's pick of the week
(Nailed it last week, so she's 4-2 on the season.)

The Book of Faces
It was a little quiet this week. Is everyone OK?
Down, set ... HAIKU!
It’s been a long week
Here’s a sad haiku for you
At least there’s football
