Thursday Night Overview/Week 7 Awards

 
If you're one of the 7 teams that have already played Mayra..then you know the helplessness feeling I'm feeling after only one fucking player. It's seriously frustrating playing a well oiled machine. Despite Keenan Allen having this BEST game of his season with 9 catches, 73 yards, and his first TD all season, Antonio Gates...Mayra's 6th or 7th best player depending on your view of Ahmad Bradshaw comes in and scores 2 TD's and overshoots his projection by scoring 19.5 points. A 5 point projected loss is now about 12. Just like that...it wipes away all the good shit Allen did. There's just NOTHING YOU CAN DO. It's gonna be a long ass weekend that's for sure. Matt's guys surrrrrre do love Thursday Nights. A few weeks ago it was Larry Donnell who went off with 3 TD's..this time..Emmanual Sanders just DOMINATED the Chargers for 9 catches, 120 yards, and 3 scores. 34.5 points..man that's not a good sign for Eugene who after a hot start might be looking at 4-4 at the end of this week. Dad can reclaim his "Houdini of Fantasy Football" title as he escaped soooooo many bad situations with Albert. Ronnie Hillman had 2 TD's called back and twice near the goal, Peyton handed it off to Juwan Thompson, who lined up as a fullback, so he can snipe Hillman's TD's. Lucky break doesn't even begin to describe it. Peyton did his usual near 300 yard, 3 TD, thing, but it probably could've been much worse. Hillman also had over 130 total yards, but those TD's would've put this game away. Albert's still the favorite, but the gap has been shortened. It's crazy to think 8 catches for 105 yards could be considered a disappointing game but for Demaryius Thomas..it kinda is. I still think Kenny's fine considering the opponent. Speaking of, Malcolm Floyd could've done a lot more damage had he caught a couple of deep balls thrown his way. He ended up with only 7 points with 58 yards. No worries for Kenny. Talk about disappointing, Drew and Alex have to be  disappointing in their guys. Drew's lucky it's a PPR because Brandon Oliver was terrible yardage wise. His 7 receptions boost his scoring total. More disappointing was Julius Thomas. In a game where 35 points was scored, Drew has to be upset that Julius Thomas only had 2 receptions for 23 yards. Unfortunately for Alex, he didn't have a great start himself. Wes Welker disappeared yet again as he only had 2 receptions for 5 yards. Brutal..but Alex still has a shot at this thanks to Drew's disappointing plays. Onto the Week 7 Awards

Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
Demaryius Thomas (Woe Is Me)
 
The only reason Kenny pulled off the upset win against my Dad. Thanks to Demaryius, Kenny has a small chance (it's a chance nonetheless) to get himself back into the playoff hunt.

Michael Wiley Dud Of The Week
Gio Bernard (The Bad Robofies)
 
Just a crushing loss for Dad, and if Gio would've had even a mediocre game Dad probably wins. His 17 rushing yards and 2 points overall were pathetic and ultimately helped result in the big loss.

Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
Owen Daniels (Arturo's Beans)
It didn't end up mattering, but Daniels was a late second insert for my flex play and he actually played well with 6 catches for 58 yards and a TD.

Tony Romo Bad Decision Award
Dad Plays Tom Brady Over Russell Wilson
 
Sometimes the best decisions happen to be bad ones. Though Russell Wilson has been great so far, most had Tom Brady last week over Russell Wilson because Brady was taking on the shitty Jets. Brady wasn't even bad with 22 points. Wilson was just MAGNIFICENT AGAIN though..with over 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, 2 Passing TD's and a rushing TD for 36 points. Dad had Russell Wilson in his lineup all the way until 2 hours before kickoff. It wasn't a dumb decision, it just ended up being a very costly one as Dad only lost by 5 points.
