Week 11 Results:Survival

THIS could've been disasterous. Andre Johnson's 40 point performance is the last thing Kenny wanted to go up against while fighting for his fantasy life. For me, Kenny, and Drew, 1 loss puts an end to our 2012 season. Yet, despite this miracle of a performance Kenny survived and for at least one more week, Kenny's playoff chances are alive. Survival is the name of the game for us. No matter how we do it, how convincing or ugly, you win, take a breath, and survive to see another week. You just hope something unbelievable like THIS, doesn't end your season. Here are the the Week 11 results.

 Poseidon Angry (4-7)              94.50
Dr. Wily's Robots (8-3)             84

Leave it to me and my team to struggle against a team with no real quarterback (Sam Bradford) three guys on bye (Harvin, Lynch, Nicks) and Arian Foster putting on his worst performance of the season. Yet I found a way to make this very interesting. A win is a win they say, but man if this trend continues, I won't stand a chance against Leland next week. Disappointing everywhere on both sides, but mostly upset at my players, because I couldn't for a better situation. Playing against, Sam Bradford, Donnie Avery, Mike Williams, I mean seriously, it should've been a blowout. But alas, it wasn't and outside of Calvin Johnson and I guess Carson Palmer, everyone else was basically shit. Oh, and I lost another running back in LeSean McCoy, which is awesome and probably will lead to m demise, cause I doubt he suits up after suffering a concussion. A.J. Green did his usual thing, and Vernon Davis predictably shut up alllllll the fantasy experts claiming what a bad start he'd be by putting up 17 points against the alleged "stout Bears defense". It got way to close to comfort, my lead cut to as little as 4. Matt Forte has been horrendous and if he's my RB#1, I'm in big time trouble. Gates is shitty Gates again, Steve Smith was bla, just overall mediocrity and I'm legitimately surprised I pulled this win off. For Matt, even with the loss, he officially claims a playoff spot, but he's in the mist of a two game losing streak, and he finally faces real adversity as his bye is in jeopardy and he plays a sneaky Kenny owned team next. As for me, I knocked off the #1 seed, now I'll have to do the same to the #2 seed. My team's a mess, I don't know who to play at QB, nor Tight End, nor defensively, nor at the RB #2 position if McCoy does miss. At least for two more days, I can pretend I'm still in the hunt.

Game MVP


Calvin Johnson (Poseidon Angry)5 receptions,  143 receiving yards, 1 TD, 1 Fumble lost, 20.5 points


Just as Good


A.J. Green (Dr. Wily's Robots) 6 receptions, 91 yards, 1 TD, 18 points


Fantasy Experts Suck


Vernon Davis (Dr. Wily's Robots) 6 receptions, 83 yards, 1 TD, 17 points

Played Like Small Cubs

Chicago Bears Defense (Dr. Wily's Robots) 30 points allowed, 2 sacks, 1 point

He Sucks Again


Antonio Gates (Poseidon Angry) 2 receptions, 17 yards, 2 points



Breaking Bybee (4-7)                    120.5
Bigger Balls (5-6)                          100

Another must win game, and Kenny got the W despite the huge 40 point Andre Johnson game from Mayra.  Kenny got 0 TD's from everyone sans the QB, RGIII who led the way with 4 TD's and 32 points. Roddy White got yardage but no score, while Miles Austin, Danny Amendola, Ray Rice, Jamaal Charles, and Tony Gonzalez were all really bad. Luckily the San Francisco Defense sealed the deal with a 16 point performance. For Mayra, Andre Johnson and Drew Brees accounted for 60% of the scoring. In other words, the rest of her team wasn't so great. Worst of all was surprisingly the Houston Texans. Against the 1 win Jags, they gave up a mind blowing 37 points and finished with zero points. ZERO! Big disappointment there. Only Anquan Boldin managed double digit points besides Brees and Johnson. Kenny's hopes stay alive and he'll take on Matt next, while Mayra's in a little trouble and her last two games are pretty rough taking on Ryan and Matt. 

Game MVP
 
 Andre Johnson (Bigger Balls) 14 receptions, 273 yards, 1 TD, 40 points


But He Helped Get the W


Robert Griffin III (Breaking Bybee) 200 yards passing, 4 passing TD's, 84 rushing yards, 32 points


Sealed The Deal

San Francisco 49ers Defense(Breaking Bybee)- 7 points allowed, 6 sacks, 1 safety, 2 INT, 16 points

Brutal

Houston Texans Defense (Bigger Balls)- 37 points allowed, 2 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 0 points (against Jags)


The Twin Killers (7-4)          96.50
Chardee MacDennis (4-7)     75.00

Drew's hot streak finally came to an end at the hands of Leland this week. Leland was able to overcome Matt Ryan's worst game of the season (5 picks, zero TD's) and three horrible games from his receiving core. How did he win then? Well, Gronk carried the day with 2 TD's and 28.5 points (bad news, he broke his forearm and will miss multiple weeks), while C.J. Spiller and Doug Martin had solid games as well. Drew's team was just a mess without Adrian Peterson. Matthew Stafford regressed back to his sucky self with 2 picks, a fumble, and only 1 TD pass. DeSean Jackson and Denarius Moore combined for 1.5 points TOTAL. Considering Moore was playing against the shitty Saints D, that was beyond disappointing. Drew had to use both Felix Jones and Rashard Mendenhall because of injuries/bye weeks and though Felix was ok, it wasn't nearly enough to help Drew. Baltimore's defense led Drew's team in scoring. Leland is now in hunt for a playoff bye and he'll take me on, while Drew will have to keep his season alive by beating my Dad.

Game MVP


Rob Gronkowski (The Twin Killers) 7 catches, 137 yards, 2 TD's, 28.5 points

Awful QB Play too


Matt Ryan (The Twin Killers) 301 passing yards, 5 INT's, 0 TD Passes, 7 points



Matthew Stafford (Chardee MacDennis) 266 passing yards, 1 Passing TD, 1 INT, 1 fumble lost, 11 points


The Bad Robofies (6-5)                       126
Richard Head (5-6)                                87

The term offensive explosion usually doesn't go with Dad's team, but it sure as hell did this week. Dad scored the most points of the week and also got the biggest blowout of the week easily dispatching of Mike Posey's team. You know what I like about my dad? He doesn't panic at all when dealing with adversity. Unlike me, who tries to trade in every possible scenario, all year Dad has dealt with a pretty bad backfield but has been savvy enough to pluck the right free agent, put them in and have it work well. DeMarco Murray hasn't played in weeks, so Dad's been using such "studs" as Isaac Redman, Shonn Greene, Donald Brown, and Pierre Thomas to fill in and for the most part they've done their jobs. What helps dad is his amazingly deep receiver core. Once again Vincent Jackson (ironically against the guy who dropped him after 1 week) put up 20 points, and waiver wire pick up of the year Randall Cobb added 18. Welker was the "worst" of the bunch with 11.5 points. Dad also doesn't pay attention to fantasy experts or anything like that. He didn't like how the 49ers D was playing, so not only does he drop them, he picks up Green Bay's Defense against the Detroit Lions and missing Charles Woodson and Clay Mathews and it WORKS FOR HIM! I would never have the balls to make that move, but Dad went with his gut, did it, and he reaped the rewards with a 20 point performance. Cam Newton hasn't been 1st round material, but he always provides just enough to help with a win. He had 18 points. For Posey Dez Bryant was the only one who really stood out, as he provided another huge game with 145 and a score for 26 points. Rodgers wasn't bad but two TD's went to Jermichael Finley and Randall Cobb, which were Dad's guys. The rest of Posey's team? Horrible, noone went over 10 points, and that includes Stevan Ridley who had a prime matchup against the Colts, and they put up 58 points. He scored but did little else. Dad can clinch a 2nd consecutive playoff berth if he beats Drew next week, while Mike takes on Albert, with the winner getting a crucial 6th win.

Game MVP
  
Vincent Jackson (The Bad Robofies) 6 receptions, 94 yards, 1 TD, 1 2 PT, 20 points


BALLSY PLAY

Green Bay Packers Defense (The Bad Robofies) 20 points allowed, 5 sacks, 2 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 Defensive TD, 20 points (Against Detroit Lions and dropped 49ers D to play them)

Valiant Effort


Dez Bryant (Richard Head)  12 receptions, 145 yards, 1 TD, 26 points



Hoosier Daddy (7-4)                 105
Channel 4 News Team (5-6)       91

Wow, talk about gutsy, Ryan plays Denario Alexander and he goes off for 96 and 2 TD's and is the main reason Ryan is basically playoff bound this season. He also picked up and played Marcel Reece who almost ended up with 100 and both the ground AND receiving. Two big time waiver picks up that worked out very well for Ryan. Combine that with a typical Peyton Manning 21 points and there is your recipe for a win. Larry Fitzgerald was horrid again (1 catch for 11 yard and his 3 QB this year) and Reggie Bush continues to suck big time (4 points) but luckily it doesn't matter this week but might be a problem in the playoffs. Albert put up a fight as well. Brady finally had a very nice game (330+ and 3 scores) and Trent Richardson provided some scoring punch (16 points) but only Demaryius Thomas and Jimmy Graham got over 10 and they barely got that with 11. What hurt Albert was Dwayne Bowe getting knocked out of the game with an injury. He had 0 points. Ryan is now in the hunt for one of the playoff byes and he'll try to get a win against Mayra, while Albert plays Mike and one of them will leave with win #6.
