2nd Round Playoff Awards

Wayne McGarrity Stud of the Week
 Calvin Johnson (Channel 4 News Team)
Megatron had a disappointing last few games as of late, but more than made up for it when it counted the most. Calvin's 200+ yard, 2 TD performance helped Albert advance to his 2nd straight fantasy football championship.

Michael Wiley Dud of The Week
Mike Williams (The_Twin_Killers)
In a matchup as close as the one between me and Leland, every point counted and Mike Williams provided 0 points. He had not one catch against the Cowboys. In a matchup that was decided by 3 points, this was a huge blow.

Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
Seattle Seahawks Defense
Even though he lost, you can't fault Ryan's guys for putting points up. Ryan smartly took a risk and sat his Texans defense for the Seahawks who were playing Caleb Heine and the Bears. It wound up being his best play of the week as the Seahawks provided a jaw dropping 30 points. 

Tony Romo Bad Decision of the Week
Leland Playing Mike Williams
Like I said earlier, every move and decision is critical, especially when you lose a close one. It's easy to play the what if game when the game is over, but it's those decisions that can win you or lose you the game, and in the case, it lost Leland a chance at the title. If Leland had played either Mario Manningham or Torrey Smith, I'd be fighting for 3rd place and twenty bucks. Instead he chose Mike Williams (which trust me, as a Cowboys fan, I thought would've been a decent play cause our secondary is THAT BAD), and his reward was 0 points. I won by 3 points, so playing Manningham (5 points) or Smith (13) would've sealed the deal. It's always difficult to survive a  zero, but it's a little harder to swallow knowing that you had the players to avoid that zero.
