Sunday afternoon, Michael realizes he has a chance at glory. I still can't type on a touchscreen.
After Aaron Rodgers throws a game tying TD to Adams, he's just under 4 points short, but the 49ers get a good return to potentially win on a FG. QB pressure turns into a Beathard interception.
Aaron Rodgers does his usual magic, driving the entire length of the field in 1:07 with no timeouts. With just 7 seconds left in regulation Michael assume's he'll miss 200 by 1.5 points as Crosby kicks the winning FG
Rodgers remembers Crosby's 5 missed kicks last week though, and takes one more shot to get him a little closer, hitting Adams on the sidelines for 18 yards, shattering the 200 point barrier.
Survivor
*Rules change: I realized that we can't have dead teams killing living ones, so the credit for a kill will now go to the highest scoring team of the week. I won't have time to change last week's narrative, but it works for this week by sheer coincidence.*
1 week has gone by, and the groups are all pretty separated now. Zane and Greg are camped out near a large pond, having found a reliable source of fish, the two NFL players still control the largest fresh water stream, and the animal clique (Wampus Cat, Goofy, Snoopy) are deep in the forest.
And the hollywood stars? Well, they've been living a life of luxury on a cliffside some 40 feet above the forest floor. After details about the challenge started to leak on the web, Brooklyn 99 fans and Nacho Libre enthusiasts began assembling care packages and dropping them into the forest with drones. Packaged food, utensils, books, tools, basically everything you could want for a camping trip.
That all changes on day 6, when Andy Samberg receives a new gift from his followers.
Black: "Watcha got there Andy"
Andy (looking at an original gameboy, 12 AA batteries, and a copy of Pokemon Red): "Just some ah.... pebbles. Yeah, like some rocks or whatever."
Black: "Somebody sent you ...rocks?"
Andy: "Yeah dude, some kinda sick joke I guess"
Black: "Can I.. see them?"
Andy: "Nahhh... maybe some other time. I'm pretty busy"
Black (standing up and moving towards Andy): "Yeah I can tell, we've got a lot going on here in the middle of nowhere"
Andy: "Look dude, I'll show you later. Back off"
Minutes go by, but they feel like hours. Jack has to know what's in that stupid box Andy is now sitting on. In a flash, he's on his feet and running towards his ally. Andy picks up the box and moves farther from the tree line, but he's not fast enough. Jack collides with him and they both fall, rolling towards the cliff edge. Jack manages to grab onto a tree root, but Andy is less fortunate, plummeting to the forest floor, Gameboy in hand.
Hours later, when Jack makes his way down to the bottom, he's greeted with a gruesome sight. The Gameboy (being almost indestructible) is in perfect condition. Andy is not. After a minute of silence for his friend, Jack picks up the batteries, pops in the cartridge, and powers on his prize.

Power Rankings
- S Tier
- Eagle Powers: 3 wins in a row, 2 of which were the high scores of the week. James Conner has been the biggest acquisition of the year by far, and this team can continue it's success with Engram and Cook both returning from injury. Devante Adams is also shaping up to be one of the best WRs this year.
- A Tier
- Wampus Cats : Jameis filled in nicely for this team with a big week, and has more good matchups to come. Devonta Freeman going to IR means Coleman continues to be an every week starter, giving this team a crazy amount of options at RB. A healthy TY Hilton would put this team into the S tier.
- Return of the Mack: The main reason I downgraded this team from S to A is the mystifying usage of Jordan Howard. With only one TD on the year and Cohen getting more snaps, it's hard to see him being a top 10 RB this season. Maybe Michel will fill that role.
- B Tier
- Cool Beans: I don't want to make too much of this week's loss because this team was missing it's best 2 players to bye. Still, two straight weeks under 100 knocks you down a level. This team needs a consistent WR2 as Hogan, Nelson, and Fitzgerald are all shaky plays.
- Dakstreet Boys: No movement for the boys. Getting Olsen off waivers could turn out well if he stays healthy, and TJ Yeldon will continue to have a lot of value as long as Fournette is out.
- C Tier
- Goofy Gang: WR woes bring this team down a tier this week. Kupp has an MCL sprain that could keep him out a couple of weeks and Jarvis has been much less productive since the Browns benched Tyrod for Baker. Saquon continues his rise to RB dominance.
- Greg's Grand Team: Things are trending up for GGT. Alshon looks great with Wentz, Mixon is healthy, and Peterson put up 97 yards despite playing through multiple injuries. This elevates the team out of the D tier for the first time in these rankings.
- zane's Team: This team got a big win this week in spite of their RBs combining for 9 points. This team is elite at every other position (QB, WR, TE) but desperately needs someone better to play in those slots.
- D Tier
- Represent 👩🏈🌻: This team should be 2-4 right now, but played an injured player vs Steven last week. There are a lot of players turning in decent scores here (DJ, Keenan Allen, Alex Collins) but only Theilen seems to have the ability to put up a huge week winning score.
- Steven's Team: I have no idea how this team is 3-3. After losing both Bell and Freeman, a starting RB pair of Dion Lewis and J. Allen put up a combined total of 27 rushing yards. Doug Baldwin and Sanders getting back on track definitely helps.
Pickup of the Week
Isiah Crowell (Represent 👩🏈🌻). I'm still not sure what to make of Crowell, he's averaging 25.6 points/game on even numbered weeks, and 4 points/game on odd numbered weeks. If you pick the right weeks to play him, you'll be rewarded nicely. I don't really see any long term every week starts in our last week of transactions, just a lot of defenses and kickers.
