Week 7 gave Jim the scoring crown, Kurt a convincing comeback, and Carol just enough room to keep her winning streak alive. The top four teams all won, Eric remains first overall in Soleil, and the NFC\u2019s leaders are making everyone else work to keep up. Glen, meanwhile, would probably like a second opinion on what qualifies as \u201cSunday Funday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2-Min Drill (Jim Meeder)<\/strong> earned Week 7\u2019s scoring honors with 129.28 points<\/strong>, the highest total across both Soleil conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jim collected his sixth consecutive victory<\/strong>, improved to 6-1<\/strong>, and remains second in both the NFC and the overall standings with 850.28 season points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He edged AFC scoring leader Jim\u2019s Fantasy Force (Jim Kappes)<\/strong> by just 0.64 points<\/strong> for Soleil\u2019s weekly crown. Two Jims, one scoring title, and less than a point separating the bragging rights. Meeder gets this round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jim also trimmed Eric\u2019s season scoring lead from 56.00 to 31.20 points<\/strong>. That two-minute drill is getting closer to the end zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Super Bowl or Bust (Kurt)<\/strong> defeated Chris on 3, 125.00\u201373.30<\/strong>, delivering the NFC\u2019s largest victory at 51.70 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was also the biggest margin across both Soleil conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kurt snapped a four-game losing streak, improved to 3-4<\/strong>, and climbed from tenth to eighth place<\/strong>. After several weeks leaning toward \u201cBust,\u201d the other half of the team name finally made an appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris fell to 1-6<\/strong> with a sixth straight defeat and remains eleventh. Scoring 73.30<\/strong> against 125.00<\/strong> leaves little room for a dramatic finish. Chris may want to call a team meeting\u2014and make attendance in the end zone mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ground & Pound (Carol Stack)<\/strong> edged Sunday Funday (Glen), 86.72\u201385.22<\/strong>, in Week 7\u2019s closest NFC matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 1.50-point margin<\/strong> was the smallest across both Soleil conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carol earned her fifth straight victory<\/strong>, improved to 6-1<\/strong>, and remains third in the NFC and fourth overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ground & Pound continues to squeeze impressive mileage out of modest scores. Carol isn\u2019t wasting points on unnecessary luxuries, such as comfortable margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glen fell to 2-5<\/strong> with a second consecutive loss. Last week the Dawgs interrupted Sunday Funday; this week Carol left him 1.50 points<\/strong> short. Glen might want to try Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buzzing Jackets (Eric Strevel)<\/strong> scored 104.48 points<\/strong>, earning his third consecutive victory and improving to 6-1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eric remains first in the NFC and first overall in Soleil<\/strong>, with 881.48 season points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jim Meeder is now just 31.20 points<\/strong> behind, so the Jackets\u2019 lead comes with company. Eric still has the best view in the standings, but Jim is getting close enough to ask about the seating arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Eric, Jim, and Carol all winning again, the NFC\u2019s three-way tie at the top remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FowlBall (John Fowler)<\/strong> scored 95.52 points<\/strong>, earning his fourth straight win<\/strong> and improving to 5-2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John remains fourth in the NFC with 752.88 season points<\/strong>, just one game behind the leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Four straight victories suggest FowlBall has found a flight plan worth keeping. The teams ahead may want to check their mirrors for incoming feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Senior Football (David McCleskey)<\/strong> scored 111.40 points<\/strong>, snapping a two-game losing streak and improving to 4-3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n David moved from sixth to fifth place<\/strong>, with 761.58 season points<\/strong>. Senior Football supplied the NFC\u2019s fourth-highest score of the week and a welcome reminder that there\u2019s still plenty of offense left in the playbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serenity Now (Howard \/ David)<\/strong> scored 73.62 points<\/strong> and suffered a third consecutive loss, falling to 4-3<\/strong> and sixth place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three losses after a 4-0 start will test any team\u2019s commitment to serenity. Howard and David may need to add a relaxation exercise to the weekly lineup routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barking Dawgs (Michael Parker)<\/strong> posted 123.74 points<\/strong>, the NFC\u2019s third-highest score, but still took a loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michael\u2019s two-game winning streak ended, dropping him to 3-4<\/strong>. He remains seventh, just 3.00 season points<\/strong> ahead of Kurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After spoiling other teams\u2019 plans for two weeks, the Dawgs joined the \u201cgreat score, wrong opponent\u201d club. Plenty of bark, plenty of points, and somehow no biscuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tony Pollard<\/strong> led the NFC\u2019s player highlights with 35.00 fantasy points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That was also higher than the AFC\u2019s leading player total, Joe Burrow\u2019s 28.88<\/strong>. Pollard gave his managers the kind of performance that makes checking the score a pleasant habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trevor Lawrence<\/strong> was listed at 0<\/strong> in the NFC\u2019s lowest-player highlight, one week after leading both conferences with 28.34 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the top of the highlights to a zero on the scoreboard in one week. Fantasy football certainly doesn\u2019t offer much time to enjoy last week\u2019s headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any Given Pam<\/strong> scored 47.20 points<\/strong>, the NFC\u2019s lowest total of Week 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pam fell to 2-5<\/strong> and slipped from eighth to tenth place<\/strong>. After scoring 115.14<\/strong> in last week\u2019s victory, this was a much quieter Sunday. \u201cAny Given Pam\u201d would probably prefer not to give this particular performance again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Waddle we talking about here (Dan Gillis)<\/strong> scored 94.42 points<\/strong>, a 36.20-point improvement<\/strong> over last week, but remains 0-7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dan is still twelfth in the NFC and Soleil\u2019s only manager seeking a first victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scoring improved, but the celebration remains on hold. Keep the party supplies handy, Dan\u2014at this point, that first win deserves more than a polite handshake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buzzing Jackets, 2-Min Drill, and Ground & Pound<\/strong> lead at 6-1<\/strong>, ranked in that order by season points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FowlBall<\/strong> follows at 5-2<\/strong>, while Senior Football and Serenity Now<\/strong> sit at 4-3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barking Dawgs and Super Bowl or Bust<\/strong> are 3-4<\/strong>, followed by Sunday Funday and Any Given Pam<\/strong> at 2-5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris on 3<\/strong> is 1-6<\/strong>, and Waddle we talking about here<\/strong> remains 0-7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jim has won six straight, Carol five straight, John four straight, and Eric three straight. The NFC\u2019s top four are turning winning streaks into a group activity\u2014and nobody seems eager to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jim takes the scoring crown, Kurt delivers the biggest victory, and Carol survives the closest finish. Eric keeps first overall, John makes it four straight, and David gets Senior Football back into the win column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Week 8 offers another chance to close the gaps and change the conversation. Check those lineups, watch the bye weeks, and keep the friendly trash talk coming. Glen may need an extra 1.51 points<\/strong> set aside for emergencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week 7 gave Jim the scoring crown, Kurt a convincing comeback, and Carol just enough room to keep her winning streak alive.
