Thursday Night Overview/Week 10 Awards

For the most part, last night's Colts/Titans wasn't close to fantasy barrage of points, but it did have it moments. Chris Johnson continues to be the weirdest running back in the league. Some games he has it, some games he doesn't and you never know when you'll get the old CJ2K. He managed to be both awesome and shitty in the same game this time around! Johnson had 2 TD's and 70 yards IN THE 1ST QUARTER. I was expecting a gigantic monster game, but he only finished with 16 more yards the rest of the way. Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative, but damn, I was expecting a little more consistency. Oh well, 20.5 points is a damn good start, hopefully the rest of my team will follow suit. The biggest story was Dad. All week Dad was going to go with Donald Brown once again in his starting lineup. Then after catching a glimpse of Erik Kusillias and Shaun King talk about Ray Rice on NBC Sports' Fantasy Football Live he got cold feet and switched Brown out for Ray Rice. It was a major mistake. Brown had 2 TD's and 80 yards all on Dad's bench. It would've bid a huge start for another huge win for Dad. Instead, he'll hope Ray Rice at least meets his projections on Sunday. At least he survived T.Y. Hilton who only had 44 receiving yards. That's a huge break for Dad. Unfortunately for Leland, his playoff hopes got just a little smaller as both Andrew Luck and Kendall Wright exceeded projections for Drew. Leland thrives on opponent's underperformances, but if Drew's go all off, it might be a blowout of epic proportions. On to the Week 10 Awards!

Wane McGarity Stud of The Week
Demaryius Thomas (Not Even Lying)
7 receptions, 108 receiving yards, 3 receiving TD's, 31.5 points
 
Kenny's big guns all provided huge games for his win against Albert, but Demaryius was the best of the bunch. Proof that maybe all you need is 3 studs to win it all.

Michael Wiley Dud of The Week
Dez Bryant (Bigger Balls)
1 reception, 44 receiving yards, 4.5 points
  
Mayra lost by 4.5 points and once again Dez Bryant came up as small as can be. He's helping tank Mayra's playoff hopes. Mayra needs him to step it up if she wants a shot at staying in the hunt.

Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
Donald Brown (The Bad Robofies)
5 receptions, 64 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD, 14.5 points
 
So once again Dad has running back troubles as Darren McFadden is sidelined and he has no real backups so he turns to Donald Brown and hopes for miracle. He delivers. Though he had -1 rushing yards, Brown did his damage in the receiving game. This play helped Dad narrowly beat Ryan by 2.

Tony Romo Bad Decision Award
Eugene plays Fred Jackson over Gio Bernard
 
 Whyyy would you bench your most electric running back?? Yes, he was coming off a minor injury, but he was going to play. Maybe Eugene didn't have faith Bernard would produce so he went safe. Unfortunately, safe cost Eugene not only a loss, but his playoffs hope as he lost by 5.5. If he played Bernard, he would've won by double digits.
