  Week 8 Bench player of the week: With Bye mageddon in week 8 most benches were empty but no player would have meant victory if he played.  
  NFL Picks: Ron, Ed, Kelly and Boomer topped the week ,all going 8-5.  Denny remains 5 games clear of Gary and Boomer overall. 
  Potent Notables: Last week was Byemegeddon in the NFL.  Looking at the lineups for our league and the available guys on the bench, it was a struggle for most teams to field a lineup.  This week's bye week teams include the Bucs, Jets, Browns and Eagles.  It was also National Tight End week.  Tucker Kraft was the top scorer in our league with Travis Kelce, Dallas Goedert and Oronde Gadsden scoring over 15. George Kittle returned as well.  
  QB's are normally dominant in top scorers for Fantasy leagues.  Our league is no different with 8 of the top 10 scorers lining up behind center.  However the overall top scorer so far has been Jonathan Taylor having an MVP season with 204.1 points for a 25.52 weekly average. Patrick Mahomes has returned to the top of the QB scoring, second overall with 199.96 pts a 25 average.  
  The Steelers took another one on the chin this past weekend against the Packers. Jordan Love picked the Steeler secondary apart.  He was the #1 Fantasy QB this week with 11 QB's topping 20 points.  The Steel Curtain is melting. They couldn't stop Tucker Kraft or any slant pattern.  This week the challenge is even more difficult as the team travels to Indianapolis to take on the top NFL team in the 7-1 Colts led by Danny 'Indiana' Jones and league first half MVP Jonathan Taylor.
