WHO'S LEADING THE LEAGUE IN WEEK 9?
...ghost-buster.

It's week Eight in the Subsim Fantasy Football League, and while we can look around at the end of week results and ask "who", its becoming a season for some teams of "why".

What's the frequency Kenneth? Stand by as we get ready to go around the grounds and find out what happened and how it happened, right after this message.

DONATE TO SUBSIM...AND NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

The first of the English bound games this week had the Helmand Nighthawks hosting the Wasted Potential. Mister Chris has struggled to find his dominating stance this year, not from anything he has done wrong, but the guy can't get a break this year. Like one of other teams, plagued with in game injuries the Nighthawks have not been able to soar. Coach Casey has been in and out of the waiver wire with his new team, anchored by (King) Derrick Henry (RB). The scores are beginning to get larger (finally) so the chase for Mister Chris on Monday night came down to Deandre Hopkins (WR) and Travis Kelce (TE). Kelce (TE) must have caught the first five passes of the game and I thought was headed for 100 yards receiving...until he fumbled. The run back for the Nighthawks was just too far even for Hopkins (WR) and the Nighthawks fall to the Waste 155 - 148.

In Oregon, the toilet bowl game of the worst teams in the league (how the mighty have fallen) saw the Who Dat Nation Rises hosting the Banter Brigade. Now, the Banter have knocked off the (then) two leading teams in the league, but no one else. And it was about to be another win today. In a pitiful low scoring offense lead by Kyler Murray (QB) who only scored 3 points, the Banter barely scored enough to exceed the Nations Josh Allen (QB) personal score of 28 points. This wasn't even close, and you can't blame the rain. The Who Dat Nation Rises flush the Banter Brigade 106 - 48.

The most interesting game of the week being conducted in the daylight savings change - they got to play one hour of their game a second time. For a pair of 3-5 times this was an intriguing match up knowing the results of the earlier games in England. The Monkeys were unable to capitalize on their earlier form, only Joe Nixon (RB) showing up to score 23 points. Jaylen Hurts (QB) did the job for the Cats but it can't go without mentioning that the Cats defense of the Jets (DEF) scored 14 points. Black Cats were able to purr past the Drunk Monkeys to defeat them 119 - 100.

Our match of the day and second English game this week was the Boss team hosting the Australian Taipans. The dumpster fire that was the Taipans in the first four weeks have somehow slithered up the ladder to be in contention for the divisional lead. Meanwhile, the Boss team has methodically just worked their ghostly way through the season to put up some respectable numbers. The Taipans have made wholesale changes at every position but are still afflicted by continuing injuries robbing them of greatness. The Boss team, who started as 10 point favorites this week, even with Chris Goodwin (WR) out for the season but listed as a starter. The Taipans would have won it too had they played anyone other than Denver (DEF) who scored, - 3points. The final score in Twickenham has the Bosses defeating the Taipans 144.2 - 142.3, but its the cascading effects of that game that interests the league the most.

So where does that leave the league log jam? Get your picks out, we'll push through this and get down to the nitty gritty sawdust.

Sole possession of the league lead at 7-2 is given to the Boss team. They've managed to scale to the top through adversity, but I wouldn't say they were the favorites.

The loss by the Taipans and the win by the Wasted Potential have them at 6-3 battling for the divisional title.

Then it gets a little more complicated.

At 4-5 we have an unexpected group headed by the Helmand Nighthawks. The Nighthawks are sub .500% at week 9 - I'm hoping the Royal Family don't bring pressure to bear and Mister Chris finds himself out of coaching job. Equal record with the Nighthawks are the Who Dat Nation and the Black Cats, two teams vastly inferior, but sticking it to the Nighthawks. Behind them at 3-6 are the Drunk Monkeys and the Banter Brigade at 2-7.

Next week, our broadcast crew stays in England to move across town for our match of the day between the Helmand Nighthawks and the Australian Taipans. In their only regular season meeting this year, the two expected cross paths with very different agendas - the Nighthawks needing a win just to stay in consideration, the Taipans wanting the win to eliminate a divisional rival from the playoffs. And we'll be there for all the details - although it may be a late publication next week as I'll be in different timezone non conducive to any Monday night games. I don't even know if my hotel carries the broadcast.

Each week the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their team's performance.

We mentioned him earlier and given the chase that followed, it was this player who solidified the win. For the effort of 106 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns, 1 reception for 27 yards, for a total of 32.30 points, the Week Nine MVT goes to Derrick Henry (RB) of the Wasted Potential.
