Well Thursday night's game was supposed to provide a buffet of fantasy points. Eh, it did to a point, but not as much as was expected, especially how the pace of the game started. 2nd half slowed down, but there were still some good performances. Mike vs Ryan this week is probably equivalent to Broncos/Jags. Thursday helped solidify that with Brandon Marshall's MONSTER game. 80+ yards and 2 TD's. This has the making of a route of epic proportions. Dad got another nice performance from Reuben Randle (though he did make a couple of boneheaded plays as well) as he scored another TD and put up 75 yards. Good start for Dad's #3 receiver. Marty B also chipped in a respectable 9 points. Leland's decision to play Jay Cutler over Matthew Stafford seems so far to a be a good one. Cutler put 262 and 2 scores for 20 points. Unfortunately for Leland, seems like Gronk is going to be out AGAIN. Don't know who Leland will turn to at TE, since it's pretty thin. After a huge game last week, Alshon Jeffery came back to earth in a big way. He only had a 27 yard catch and 15 rushing yards. Not a great start. Hakeem Nicks wasn't great, but wasn't horrible. He still had 70 yards receiving. The big story is Mark and his quest to remain undefeated. His two best players played and both were a little underwhelming to say the least. Victor Cruz only had 68 yards and though Matt Forte had over 100 total yards, it's still disappointing he didn't find the end zone. This is a great start for Mayra, as Mark's two best players are down. Calvin Johnson is still a game time decision though and losing him would be hard to overcome. Onto the Week 5 Awards!
Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
Tony Romo (Passion ofthe Puente)
506 passing yards, 5 Passing TD's, 1 INT, 1 2 pt conversion, 40.5 points
Real Life Wins or Losses don't matter in the fantasy game. Romo's 40.5 points are the 2nd highest individual scoring points this season.
Michael Wiley Dud of The Week
Matt Schaub (Springville-Warrior)
173 Passing Yards, 3 INT, 1.5 points
Cam Newton was also a honorable mention, but my backup was Carson Palmer and he actually played WORSE than Cam, so no matter what QB I use, I lose. Eugene curiously rode with Matt Schaub and it was a dreadful as you can get. Worst performance by a QB this season. Under 200 yards passsing, no scores, 3 picks, and a benching. Ugh. The main reason Eugene lost to Mayra.
Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
Jacquizz Rodgers (The Bad Robofies)
43 rushing yards, 2 rushing TD's, 4 receptions, 15 yards, 19 points
That picture will haunt me forever. Dad had no choice but to use Jacquizz after Darren McFadden was ruled out of Week 5. It was the ultimate spot start as because of his 19 points, Dad beat me by 5 points.
Tony Romo Bad Decision Of The Week
Eugene benching Russell Wilson in favor of Matt Schaub
Just look at the explanation above with Matt Schaub. Eugene lost by 6.5. Russell Wilson-22.5 Matt Schaub-1.5. Brutal
