Week 9 Bench player of the week:Joe Flacco MOS 32.8

Potent Notables: Injuries strike again in our league.  I lose TE Tucker Kraft for the season ,Boomer loses Jayden Daniels for a while. 
The trade deadline is today.  A few minor deals have been recorded . We are awaiting the Steelers to see if they can make a move for a second WR to go with DK Metcalf.  Jakobi Meyers, Calvin Ridley and even Jaylen Waddle should be available if Omar Khan is willing to pay the price. Potential trades will alter fantasy rosters with underused players getting a chance and others getting a boost if they end up on the right teams.
The LFFL trade deadline is Sunday November 17 at 1pm.  We usually don't have many player for player trades.   
High point winners so far ($14 per week): GGC, BCC 2, CK, MOS 2, BTR, BK, ADU

The Steelers pull off a big win against the previously one loss Colts.  The defense forced 6 turnovers.  The Colts had only 4 turnovers all season heading into this one.  The offense did what it had to but wasn't particularly impressive despite scoring 27 points.  TJ watt earned hi dough this week with a game turning strip sack forced fumble and recovery.  This week the team travels to LA to take on the Chargers at SoFi.  This year LAC is living through the pass with Justin Herbert throwing to Quentin Johnson, Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey as well as rookie TE Orande Gadsden.  They need to keep the pass rush going and get some more offense out of their running game.
