Thursday/Saturday Night Overview/Round 2 Awards

Jordan Matthews #81 of the Philadelphia Eagles runs past Dashon Goldson #38 of the Washington Redskins to score a touchdown in the fourth quarter on December 26, 2015 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Redskins defeated the Eagles 38-24. 
Well, Mark better hope the Thursday and Saturday Night games weren't a preview of things to come, because already he's in a hole. Combined with the fact that Alshon Jeffrey won't be playing this week and Mark's chances to win get slimmer by the minute. Mark kicked off things Christmas Eve with Derek Carr and just like all season Carr followed up a great Week 15 with a disappointing Week 16. A TD saved his day, but overall it wasn't a great performance. He didn't even get 17 points. It was Leland's turn Saturday Night as he plugged in 2nd round disappointment Jordan Matthews, who did anything but disappoint. Matthews is a funny story, because his stats actually look great, but a ton of it comes from garbage time, and most of the season he was unstartable. Nevertheless, points are points and in the fantasy game they're indistinguishable so Matthews put up a great start for Leland with 6 catches for 104 yards and a TD. 19.4 points from your WR #3 is not a bad start at all. Leland's advantage seems to be gaining, but again, each guy's only had 1 player apiece and there's plenty of football to still be played. Here's the final edition of this season's weekly awards.

Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
David Johnson (No Soup For You)

David Johnson #31 of the Arizona Cardinals carries the ball as Mychal Kendricks #95 of the Philadelphia Eagles defends in the fourth quarter at Lincoln Financial Field on December 20, 2015 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
Johnson was AMAZING at the right time, as he put on a playoff masterpiece. Nearly 43 points really helped seal the deal to get Leland to his 2nd Wane McGarity Bowl appearance.

Michael Wiley Dud Of The Week
Calvin Johnson (No Soup For You)
Calvin Johnson #81 of the Detroit Lions participates in warmups prior to a game against the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on December 21, 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana. 
Leland's really playing with fire as this is the 2nd straight Calvin Johnson could've been a season killer. Luckily, Leland's team has been able to mask how horrible Calvin has been. Against the worst defense in the league, Calvin Johnson was held to 1 catch for 19 yards. So far, in Leland's two games in the fantasy playoffs, Calvin's been held to two catches for 35 yards COMBINED. How Leland survived this..TWICE..just shows how balanced his roster is. Can Leland survive another game from Calvin like this, in the championship no less? We'll certainly find out this week.

No Bad Decision or Sneaky Surprise Awards this week
