Week 7 Results: In The Thick Of It All

7th week of the season is in the books and by the looks of it, and for the most the playoff race is really tight. Only Mark really has a substantial lead over the pack. We have two 5-2 teams, 4 4-3 teams, 1 3-4 team, and a couple 2-5 teams. On the other end of the specturm, only Leland seems to be out of the playoff race. Every week is crucial and critical especially with so many byes during weeks 8 and 9. Here's the week 7 results.



Channel 4 News Team (4-3)             115.5
Tebow4President (1-6)                        77.5

Yeah this was never close as Leland just really didn't have the firepower that Albert has. I'm sure every other team is looking on the schedule to see if Leland is still on the horizon. 77.5 points is actually Leland's 2nd highest scoring output of the season. It's been THAT bad. Of course, the way this season has went, Leland sat on Gronk for 6 weeks, traded him for Witten, and Gronk is Gronk again while Witten had a mediocre game. Just not in the cards this week. No more waiting, C.J. Spiller is a bust and officially the worst 1st round pick in league history. He does NOTHING. He finished 2.5 points and once again like all season was outperformed by Fred Jackson. Matthew Stafford did have a nice game with 357 and 3 TD's and Steve Smith and Danny Woodhead chipped in TD's but the rest of the team is just meh and inconsistent. Albert got his typical Peyton Manning 25 point performance and A.J. Green was spectacular again with 155 yards and a score. Frank Gore continues to defy father time and he added 2 more TD's to his season total. The only bad news here is that Albert will lose Jermichael Finley for a long while as he suffered a scary head injury. With TE as weak as it is, that's a huge loss. Albert will take on Matt next week, while the Battle Of The Lawrence Brothers takes place next week as Leland takes on his brother Eugene.

Game MVP
Peyton Manning (Channel 4 News Team)
386 passing yards, 3 passing TD's, 1 INT, 1 Fumble Loss, 25.5 points
 

Danny's Little Giants (4-3)          100
Springville-Warrior (3-4)              83.5

I'm gonna take it, but geez what an uninspiring win. Outside of Vincent Jackson who was a BEAST with 10 catches for 138 yards and TD's, and surprisingly RYAN MATHEWS with 100 rushing yards and a score, my team was pretty average.  LeSean McCoy had his worst yardage game of the season. Pierre Garcon, Brandon Marshall, Torrey Smith all had 10 or less points and once again QB play was sketchy for the 4th straight week as Eli just game managed and only threw one TD pass against a SHITTY ASS Vikings Defense. I only have 3 TD passes in 4 weeks....reminds me of last season. For Eugene, Russell Wilson had a great Thursday night, but like me only Eric Decker (who had a HUGE SUNDAY NIGHT GAME WITH 150 yards and a TD) and Fred Jackson (who scored a TD) showed up. Too many inconsistent plays like Julian Edelman and Chris Givens and Kenbrell Thompkins combined with quiet Geo Bernard and Antonio Gates games did Eugene in. Lucky for him, he plays his brother and he can definitely have a solid chance at getting his win back. As for me, well all I have to do is beat a team that has only lost 1 game this season. I'll be without two receivers too. No big deal right? 

Game MVP
Vincent Jackson (Danny's Little Giants)
10 receptions, 138 receiving yards, 2 receiving TD's, 30 points
 

The Bad Robofies (5-2)                88
Dr. Light's Robots (2-5)                84

The Houdini of Fantasy Football escapes AGAIN.  Dad's last 3 wins; 5 points, .5 point, and now 4 points. That's right Dad's won 3 games by a total of 9.5 points. Doesn't matter though cause at the end of the day it's a win and Dad's 5-2 and still in the race for the bye. Guess who did Matt in? JACQUIZZ RODGERS. Yep he did it again. Two more TD's and 21 total points. Colin Kaepernick was finally decent as he added 68 rushing yards and a rush TD to his 199 passing yards. Matt was up 5.5 with Dad having Rueben Randle left and Randle scored (and did nothing else really) and took the game. The rest of dad's team though AWFUL. Ray Rice is brutally bad, no Jimmy Graham, and it once again doesn't matter. Matt's biggest mistake. Playing Nick Foles over RGIII. It was defensible because you would think if Foles could shred Tampa, he could shred Dallas just as easy. NOPE. He had 80 passing yards....yes that's right 80. He ended up getting concussed at finished with 5.5 points. RGIII, 25.5. Yep 20 point difference. Matt would've cruised to a 16 point lead. Not fun. The news got even WORSE for Matt cause he lost Reggie Wayne for the year. With Roddy White's nagging injuries and now no Wayne and MJD just sucking, it's not looking good for Matt.  Jordan Reed looks like a TE stud, him and Griffin hooked up for a TD and Reed had 23.5 points and Jamaal Charles continues to be dominant as he added another TD and had 16.5 points. Don't know what Matt's going to do, but in all reality he can probably only afford to lose one more time if he wants a chance at the playoffs. He'll take on Albert next, while Dad takes on Mike in what should be a tough matchup.

Game MVP
Jacquizz Rodgers (The Bad Robofies)
16 rushing yards, 8 receptions, 46 receiving yards, 2 receiving TD's, 21 points
 

Not Even Lying (4-3)            83.5
Passion ofthe Puente (5-2)    73.5

A huge win for Kenny as he was taking on a 1 loss Mike team and was in danger in falling below .500 had he lost to what looked like was going to be the better team. The Calvin Johnson trade paid off HUGE dividends for Kenny as he was the Megatron we all know and love. 2 TD's, 155 receiving yards for 31.5 points. The biggest reason Kenny pulled off the win, because outside of Demaryius Thomas and his TD and 16 point performance, Kenny's team was pretty awful. Those running backs...man they are horrid. Trent Richardson is a bust and so is Doug Martin. Even worse? Kenny loses Doug Martin for the season more than likely due to a torn labrum. Don't know how Kenny's going to handle his RB's now. Philip Rivers was OK, but far from Drew Brees with only 15 points. Charles Clay chipped in a TD but only had 7 yards. The biggest blow for Mike? Losing Arian Foster early. He left with a hamstring injury and only had 1 point. That basically did him in. Romo had another meh game with only 1 TD pass, Josh Gordon was bad, Tony Gonzalez was REALLY disappointing, and Wes Welker waited to long to finally show up. Only bright spot was Jarret Boykin who filled in for Randall Cobb and James Jones nicely with 103 yards and a TD. Don't know if that can keep up. Foster is on bye, so hopefully for Mike it's not that serious of an injury. Mike takes on Dad next, while Kenny takes on a sneaky good Ryan team next week.

Game MVP
Calvin Johnson (Not Even Lying)
9 receptions, 155 receiving yards, 2 receiving TD's, 31.5 points


Shock The Monkey (6-1)             95.5
I'm A Paul Heyman Guy (2-5)     86.5

If Dad is the Houdini of Fantasy, Mark is the David Copperfield. Mark escapes another week with another week and reclaims his #1 record beating Drew by 9 points. It was very disappointing for Drew who was down 14 points, with Hakeem Nicks, Adrian Peterson, and Kyle Rudolph still to go while Mark had Victor Cruz. Cruz almost outscored all 3. Cruz had 7.5, Drew's trio had 11.5. Terrible. Andrew Luck was really the only guy to show up for Drew's squad and he showed up big with 3 passing TD's and 1 rushing TD. Jordan Cameron did catch a TD pass as well. Reggie Bush wasn't effective either. It's kind of boom or bust with Drew's receivers and that's what really hurts week in and week out. Just not knowing the production. Mark looks like a genius picking Matt Forte at #8. He is absolutely tearing up the league. 91 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD's. Now he even gets the goalline TD's. I wish I had this Forte last year. Matt Ryan proved he didn't need Roddy White, Julio, or Tony Gonzalez to be effective. He threw for 3 TD passes. Gronk is already officially back as well with 8 catches for 114 yards. Mark got a 0 from Bilal Powell and it still didn't matter. Mark's back on track and he takes me on next. It doesn't get any easier for Drew. He now has to face Mayra in what's basically a 100% must win for him.

Game MVP
Matt Forte (Shock The Monkey)
91 rushing yards, 3 rushing TD's, 2 receptions, 18 receiving yards, 29 points




Hoosier Daddy (2-5)      95
Bigger Balls (4-3)          86.5

Two weeks ago, this would be a MAJOR upset. Now though, a mild upset to say the least. Ryan's team is leaps and bounds better than it was a couple weeks ago, and that's why it's not unbelievably shocking that Ryan pulled off the win this week. That Stevan Ridley/Eddie Lacy Combo has been great two weeks in a row as they combined for two scores and 30.5 points. How bout Harry Douglas who was a throw in in the Fitz/Torrey Smith trade? 149 receiving yards and a score. Julius Thomas scored yet another TD and that's where the bulk of Ryan's points came from. He survived medicore games from DeSean Jackson, Larry Fitzgerald and Cam Newton. For Mayra, Aaron Rodgers was Ok yardage wise, and did throw 3 TD passes, but most of her team was underwhelming. Dez had yardage but no scores, Knowshon had a score but barely any yardage and  Vernon Davis and Antonio Brown didn't do much with only 8 points a piece. It's a huge loss for Mayra, as a win here could've gotten her in the thick of things for the bye. Now she's in the middle of the pack, and she takes on an unpredictable Drew team next. Ryan could play spoiler again as he has an excellent shot of beating Kenny who has both of his running backs on bye.

Game MVP
Harry Douglas (Hoosier Daddy)
7 receptions, 149 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 23.5 points
