Ladies and Gentlemen, in what was a complete upset, I like David vs Goliath was able to beat the odds and win another week of my Fantasy football league. Not only that I was able to knock down the top player who had a record of 5-1 going into our game. Now I am 4-4, which puts me in the perfect spot to try and make a run for playoffs.

Though who is responsible for an albeit very close win of 130-128, well three players on my team carried me to victory, while some of my opponents players also helped, by doing nothing or being benched! More Specifically big shoutout to my friend Neeko for benching Gabe Davis, who had a stellar 23 point game. And also big shout-out to Tampa who didn't really throw or use Mike Evans.

Now onto my big three, first and foremost the VIP of the week goes to CeeDee Lamb! He was on fire with 12/14 targets for 158yard and two touchdowns! 41 points. Without him I would have lost this week and gotten my butt kicked. Also all aboard the Gus Bus! Cause Edwards put up 29 points! These two players accounted for half of my total points. Last but not least was a wild pick that I took a risk on and it played off. Dalton Kincaid is the only TE on the Bills after some pretty heavy injuries, but he showed that he can be the one man army with 17 points! I know it's a very.... very, very VERY long shot, but I hope next week these guys put up similar numbers in week 9.

Now let's talk about the losers of my week. Surprisingly my very own QB is on this list, as Patrick on gave me 5 points. Yes I know he was sick and that might have affected him, but if that's the case I wish I knew he was sick on Saturday. Even Sunday morning would have been okay. Instead we got a hour or so before gametime when most of the other free QB's had already played. Also where CeeDee Lamb succeeded, The two Rams players just did alright. It's sad as Puka has been one of my top players each week. Though I hope for these players to make a comeback in week 9.

I have one benched player now out for the season and a shaky situation in both the RB and TE spot, which is why I need your help. Let me know your fantasy football advice down below! Let's win this thing!

5 Best Personalities in the NFL Right Now

We can talk about the best quarterbacks or coaches or running backs in the NFL until we're blue in the face. But, what makes the game really exciting to watch are the personalities behind those players and staffers. Of course, having a fun personality isn't all there is in the NFL. We love watching these guys go at it on the field and witnessing their athleticism. We also love seeing expert coaches leading their teams to victories. But, having a really cool, larger-than-life personality certainly helps. So, what players have the best personalities in the NFL right now?

Before we get to our current list, let's look at some of the most best personalities in the NFL of all time. Bleacherreport.com has a listicle out of the players with the most colorful personalities of all time. Topping that list is Terrell Owens. "Love him or hate him, T.O. has the most colorful personality," they state in the article. "Over his career, he's shown all the qualities: arrogance/confidence, drama (all of 2005 in Philadelphia), excitement, unpredictably, crying (that Tony Romo press conference) and humor." That's a good call. Coming in at No. 2 is the legendary Joe Namath. "Who else could get away with wearing sunglasses on the sideline?" they exclaim. "With the long hair, the occasional Fu Manchu and the playboy attitude, he was the most compelling figure in sports during the late 1960s and early 1970s."

So, what about right now? I looked at the current season and picked a range of roles, from quarterback to coach to tight end. These guys have stood out this season for either their larger-than-life personalities or situations. Also, we discuss the current NFL in the latest episode of my podcast, "The Squad with Anne Erickson," which you can listen to below. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He's considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it's because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

Dan Campbell

All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That's not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

Bill Belichick

Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we'll introduce him anyway. He's the head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He's had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He's incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he's known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He's a major contender and personality.
