For what was supposed to be a high scoring game, Falcons-Saints was a bit of a let down with a 17-13 final. For some teams in the hunt it was a huge letdown and possibly detrimental to their playoff chances. The one hurt by this the most has to be Matt. Roddy White and Marques Colston didn't even combine for 10 points. When you combine that with today's news that Denarius Moore has been ruled out and that Jordan Reed will be more than likely ruled out as well, things are not looking good for Matt. Ryan in his spoiler bid has to be a little disappointed as well. Kenny Stills was basically a non-factor with only 3 points, while Harry Douglas beat his projection with 9 catches with 79 yards, a TD would've been a nice capper. I don't get why the Saints didn't utilize Pierre Thomas even more, especially with Darren Sproles out. When he touches the ball he's dynamic. He had 73 rushing yards and 5 receptions for 57 yards. That's solid, but with more touches he could've done more and how Tony Gonzalez played for Mike (4 catches for 43 yards) he could've used it. The Tony Gonzalez play dampened the night for Mike, but Mayra didn't get to play Sproles so he should still be the favorite to win. The Kenny-Mark matchup got a little interesting as well. Yes, Drew Brees still put up 19 points, but considering the matchup, it's a letdown. Mark also got a better than expected performance from Steven Jackson as he had 60+ rushing yards and a score. Mark's still got a mountain to climb, but honestly you can't ask for a better start and that's the kind of performances you need from your questionably plays like Jackson. There was one team that was 100% satsified with his Thursday Night Play. Jimmy Graham was his usual dominant self with 100 and a score. He scored 18.5 points and if there was even a .01 percent chance anyone thought that was losing this week, you can forget it. Now on to the Week 11 awards!
Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
Ben Roethlisberger (Bigger Balls)
367 Passing Yards, 4 Passing TD's, 12 rushing yards, 31 points
It gets boring giving this to Calvin every week (he was a prime candidate yet again) but because of the significance of Mayra's win, I'll give the nod to Mayra's QB. Who needs Aaron Rodgers when Big Ben goes off like this? Ok...yes Rodgers would be nice, but if Big Ben can put up solid stats for a couple more week, Mayra might not only make the playoffs, but become a big time contender if Aaron Rodgers returns.
Michael Wiley Dud Of The Week
A.J. Green (Channel 4 News Team)
2 receptions, 7 receiving yards, 1 point
The face of Albert's disappointing Week 11. A.J. Green held to 7 yards and 1 fantasy point. 1. Just wow. A big letdown in a huge game with playoff implications.
There are no Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise or Tony Romo Bad Decision Awards for Week 11.
