Wayne McGarrity Stud of the Week
Matthew Stafford (The_Twin_Killers)
At the beginning of their game against the Panthers, Stafford looked like he could be a prime candidate for Dud of the Week, as he started with 2 straight picks. Then he just went OFF, with over 300 yards passing and 5 TD's. He was a big part of Leland's win over Kenny this week and as long as he's healthy, he'll remain an elite fantasy option the rest of the year.
Michael Wiley Dud of the Week
Dr. Wily's Robots
Sorry Matt, but for the 2nd time this season, your team as a whole gets the honor. After narrowly escaping Cindy and beating her by 3, Matt looked ready for a big playoff push, especially considering his next opponent, Ryan, had three of his best players on bye. Ryan, who Matt beat by 82, stood no chance and even started off terrible getting 0 points by Eric Decker. It wouldn't matter because Ryan's guys ended up going off. Even so, Matt's guys didn't even bother to show up as Matt ended up scoring a league low (not counting Zach cause his team wasn't complete) 47 points. How a team with Eli Manning, Brandon Marshall, Adrian Peterson, and Fred Jackson could only muster 47 points is beyond me. Peterson gets a semi pass because he did score a TD before he left with an injury. Jackson got hurt too, but he was ineffective when he was in. The rest of the team was just plain horrible, including zero points from Brandon Marshall and -1 from the Bills defense. Unfortunately for Matt, his playoff hopes are diminishing by the day as he'll be without Peterson and Fred Jackson this week against my dad. Just bad luck for a team at the beginning of the season I thought could win it all.
Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
New England Patriots Defense (RuggedRaymontHarris)
The minute I heard Cassel was out for the season, and Tyler Palko was going to be the starter, I snapped up the Patriots defense as fast as I could. Was I crazy for picking a defense that was ranked dead last? They had been playing better, and I figured it was Tyler Palko, surely they could feast on him right? Then things got real, I was down 11 points going into Monday night and I started second guessing myself. Could this defense really pull off a miracle? They did, and did with authority. 3 picks, 3 points allowed, 3 sacks, and a Punt Return TD for a game winning 21 points. This defense saved my season. Their reward? I promptly dropped them, mission accomplished.
Tony Romo Bad Decision Award
Dad starts Mark Sanchez over Jay Cutler and David Nelson over Torrey Smith
Dad's lucky this didn't hurt him at all, but it would've been nice to have the points he sorely needs. Dad went with Mark Sanchez over Cutler and while Cutler ended up with 25 fantasy points, Sanchez didn't throw a TD pass and ended up with 9 points. Dad had picked up Torrey Smith and then inexplicably dropped him for David Nelson. The result? Torrey Smith goes for over 150 and a score while David Nelson didn't catch a single pass. That's right a big fat 0. Again, this was against Albert and it still didn't matter. Dad definitely has the football gods on his side.
