That said, congrats on being the last man standing undefeated.
Best of luck the rest of the season!
GFL NEWS
Mahomes Magic: Patrick Mahomes is the chosen one. His final drive against the Broncos this Monday was magical. Even against Jacksonville, I like his chances to put up a good stat line.
Every Rose has it's Fournette: Leonard Fournette, elite talent, terrible legs.
Overtime Winners and losers: Frank Reich's bold choice to go for it on 4th down in OT cost the Colts a much needed victory while in Tennessee, Mike Vrabel's decision to throw and move down the field worked out as the Titans upset the Eagles like I called!
Waiver Wire Wonders
Walsh loves Keke, drops $25: Keke Coutee, the slot receiver for the Houston Texans had a breakout game in Indianapolis putting up 21.7 fantasy points on an insane 15 targets. His day benefitted from Will Fuller being sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Goose needs Yeldon, spends $20: After trading for Fournette, Goose needed his handcuff in T.J. Yeldon and paid a decent chunk of change. Yeldon has been productive, putting up 23 points last week against the New York Jets.
Phil prefers Hines: Phil spends $10 on Colts rookie halfback Nyheim Hines, as a Colts fan, I can vouch for Hines being a solid change of pace PPR investment. He could be this years Alvin Kamara but I say that lightly
Since, this segment is about all the waiver pickups, I've decided to consolidate the smaller moves in this area.
Nic: Spent $6 on Tarik Cohen and $4 on Cameron Brate, and TE Vance McDonald
Walsh: $1 on Tennessee defense and $1 on WR Dede Westbrook also kicker Brett Maher
BUFFALO WILD WINGS GAME OF THE WEEK
WHAT BIKE? (4-0) @ Marshawn of the Dead (3-1)
Projected winner: Bike 142-135
BIKE top 3: Todd Gurley, Davante Adams, Ben Roethlisberger
Marshawn top 3: Kirk Cousins, Melvin Gordon, Julio Jones
BIKE DANGER ZONE: Dion Lewis. If there's any fault in Bike's team, it's his lack of a true RB2, Dion Lewis is a volatile of an RB2 as their is but when you're loaded with front talent and Todd Gurley, I guess it's not the end of the world for Mr. 4-0.
Marshawn DANGER ZONE: Vikings defense. The Vikings defense is no longer elite. Did you see what Jared Goff did to them. You might not have a better option but just remember, they got you a -3.00 last week.
This one will be done before Monday with Ebron and James White being a key matchup for this Thursday's game between the Colts and Patriots. I'd like to see Tyler pull off the upset but you never know with Bike, they could dominate yet again.

Gretchen Whitmer (1-3) @ Bill Schuette (2-2)
Projected winner: Schuette 152-135
Whitmer's top 3: Philip Rivers, DeAndre Hopkins, James Conner
Schuette top 3: Deshaun Watson, Alvin Kamara, Christian McCaffery
Whitmer's DANGER ZONE: Buck Allen. WHY CAN'T I QUIT YOU BUCK ALLEN. You're a mediocre runner but you catch a couple passes and get in the end zone and all is forgiven. It helps Alex Collins is blowing every chance he gets.
Schuette DANGER ZONE: Vance McDonald. Though he can't help it, Nic is going to start Vance McDonald and hope for a decent game. This is really the only flaw in his team and all I can give him as a negative.
THEME WEEK! Nic Kaminski and Eric Walsh (yours truly) have always had a fun rivalry in the GFL and when Nic changed his team name to Bill Schuette, I reluctantly but humorously changed mine to Gretchen Whitmer to mimic the Michigan Governor race. As for the game, I have to wait for Alvin Kamara to put the proverbial nail in the coffin on Monday, but here's hoping I might have a cushion...
Lil Skeet Skeet (1-3) @ Shri Returns (3-1)
Projected winner: Shri 148-102
Skeet Top 3: Andrew Luck, Zeke Elliott, Travis Kelce
Skeet DANGER ZONE: Sammy Watkins. Watkins hurt his hamstring this Monday against the Broncos and on a short week might be unavailable to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars and even if he plays, IT'S JACKSONVILLE!
Shri DANGER ZONE: Rob Gronkowski. Gronk might not play Thursday, Will. So I would consider stashing a backup TE juust in case he's a no go for a short week. I almost considered putting Mahomes here but he's matchup proof for the time being.
Phil at the time of this article has not put in Nyheim Hines and replaced his bye week players so his projection will change but this is an utter mismatch for Lil Skeet Skeet. It will take a lot of high ceiling play from his star players to not get Shri'd.
KZOO River Monsters (3-1) @ Shady Draft Strats (0-4)
Projected winner: Shady 136-113
KZOO Top 3: Drew Brees, A.J. Green, Juju Smith-Schuster
KZOO DANGER ZONE: Lamar Miller. Lamar Miller has been dreadful for the Texans, he had 10 yards last week in Indianapolis. He is the reason Deshaun Watson is throwing so much. Much like Bike, an elite team hampered by the lack of RB finesse.
Shady DANGER ZONE: Keenan Allen. I know it's probably shocking to see a big name on here but let's face it...he's not putting up WR1 numbers. Last week, he had 13.3 now that's not terrible but it's not great. This should be a solid bounce back game though, it's the hapless Raiders.
I expect Jeff to plug in Jordan Reed over David Njoku and rely on both Reed and Brees to take the victory on Monday night. It sure would be nice if Goose could get the win though. We're all rootinf for him this week...well except for Jeff.

Captain Insano (2-2) @ OBJs give me a Chubb (1-3)
Projected winner: OBJs 131-127
Insano top 3: Antonio Brown, Carson Wentz, Golden Tate
OBJs top 3: Aaron Rodgers, Odell Beckham Jr., Kareem Hunt
Insano DANGER ZONE: Alex Collins. Ryan, Alex Collins is a problem. He has fumblitis. He chokes when he's near the end zone. He's the reason Buck Allen is so reliable in PPR. All you can hope is that he gets it all together by the end of the season.
OBJs DANGER ZONE: Tevin Coleman. Devonta Freeman will be back this week which will limit Coleman's appeal. He's still going to be a fine play as a flex but don't expect RB2 numbers.
NFL GAME PICKS
Indianapolis @ New England: Indianapolis is going to be banged up defensively and Andrew Luck needs to not throw over 60 times for his arms sake.
Tennessee @ Buffalo: The Bills somehow beat the Vikings but then got shut out by the Packers. The Titans are coming off an inspiring win against the defending champs. Titans got fuel for their fire.
Miami @ Cincinnati: Dolphins were fools gold and couldn't beat the Patriots for the good of the NFL, so now they'll probably lose to Cincy too.
Baltimore @ Cleveland: Everyone loves a good underdog story and the Browns are that and Baker Mayfield is fun to watch but Baltimore is on a hot streak and will continue to do so.
Green Bay @ Detroit: Aaron Rodgers even on one leg can beat the Detroit Lions. I expect a shootout that ends with A-Aron leaving the Motor City crying.
Jacksonville @ Kansas City: Okay, so I was wrong about Denver but Pat Mahomes has to show some human qualities against the best defense in the league, right? RIGHT?
Denver @ NY Jets: This one could go either way. But I like Denver more than the Jets and expect Von Miller to get to Sam Darnold.
Atlanta @ Pittsburgh: Like I've said before, Atlanta is decimated with injuries, Pittsburgh has a good offense and should bounce back after their loss to Baltimore.
NY Giants @ Carolina: Cam Newton > Eli Manning and the fact the Giants haven't scored over 20 points in forever.
Oakland @ LA Chargers: I like the Chargers to take care of the lackluster Raiders defense which Philip Rivers should feast on.
Minnesota @ Philadelphia: Jalen Mills gets burned by everyone in the NFL and I expect Kirk Cousins to target either Thielen or Diggs depending on who he's covering.
Arizona @ San Francisco: It hurts me to see the Arizona Cardinals fail so badly :( but until they show something, I'll always vote for their opposition.
LA Rams @ Seattle: The Rams look like Super Bowl contenders and the Seahawks look like pretenders.
Dallas @ Houston: This one is a coin flip for me but I prefer Deshaun Watson to come up in the clutch over Dak Prescott.
Washington @ New Orleans: Saints win and Brees passes Peyton Manning in passing yards all time in another mediocre broadcast of Monday Night Football.
Good luck everyone and be back for Week 6.
