Fantasy Football Week Nine

Week 9: Nick Foles, The Legend of



Bleacher Report


Perfect passer rating and seven TDs.  Chip Kelly has finally brought college football to the NFL.


Unlike last week, this week was crazy good!  Seneca Wallace leading a top rushing team to a home loss against a McCown led Bears?  NFC north a 3 way tie?  Cowboys stave off a fourth quarter collapse while the Chargers succumb to their third of the year?  Case Keenum’s ridiculous second game is overshadowed by Luck being Luck?  Tom Brady’s fantasy vengeance?  Jason Campbell emerges as the best Browns QB without utilizing the Known Franchise Tools™?  Seahawks nearly get stomped by the Bucs?  Rex and the Jets beat his brother and possibly the best NFC team?  CJ2k is back?  Jeez is that all the games?  Oh wait I missed one.  NBC just flexed KC@DEN into primetime week 11.  Watch-yoselves-- next week we’re getting some Chiefs Chat.  



Trying to figure out my week 10 lineup…






Oh, hmm, let me check my team...

Well then, @NFL, let’s rumble!





Top Players



TEAM KAPLAN
QB
Tom Brady, NE QB
33.2


Tom’s back!  My week zero prediction that he’d be fine this year was merely on a 8 week delay.  Much like my appreciation of indie games.  Obviously the week leader was Nick Foles.  Shame on all of us for letting this best performance by a QB ever go wasted on the wire.



GIANT PROBLEM
RB
Zac Stacy, StL RB  P
29.8


Hey welcome to the headlines Zac!  Way to be what I thought Daryl Richardson was going to be in the draft.  At least I’m passed the point of regretting not trading him for Bowe.  Now they’re both hanging out on the wire.



SOPO MURDERERS
WR
T.Y. Hilton, Ind WR
30.1
TY Hilton, already doing pretty well now gets to fill the void Reggie Wayne left.  Luck has to win somehow, and it ain’t gonna be TRich.  Andre Johnson was on the Tom Brady Train back to Relevance this week too but who could have guessed it at this point?  Case Keenum.



JUST HAVIN' FUN OUT THERE
TE
Jimmy Graham, NO TE  Q
23.6


Matt you might wanna just write “Care of Jimmy Graham” on my check this year.



CHERRY LOZENGES
D/ST
22


The Jimmy Graham of defenses.  I’m saving my energy for next week.  Don’t you worry.



THIS ONE'S FOR COACH (PURSE)


Almost feels like the kicker should have more in a 55 pt game.  Number 1 kicker!!



Weekly Prizes


Winning team with fewest points by a kicker.
Winner:  Romocops to the Rescue!  Rian Lindell with 6 points!


Next Week:  Longest Reception (any position) (starter)



Internet GIF of the Week




I'm not even mad.

Fantasy Football Week Eight

Week 8:  And the Emmy goes to… Matthew Stafford!


The second Stafford QB sneak to make the headline image.  AP FTW Blog




Clock!  Clock clock clock clock!  Clock it!  Clock it!  Clock clock.  Clock.  Clock.





Were there any other exciting moments of week 8?  I guess the first quarter or so of WAS@DEN.  Other than that?  Yeah I dunno.



Top Players



THIS ONE'S FOR COACH (PURSE)
QB
Drew Brees, NO QB
33.2


The third 30+ point week for Breesus, followed this week by Andy Dalton of all people.



CHERRY LOZENGES
RB
22.2



Hey signs of life for the Cardinals and it ain’t Carson Palmer’s garbage time.  Ellington got 15 carries this week, over twice as many as any other week.  The ol’ give the ball to the guy that’s actually good strategy.  Good to see Arizona stumble onto it.




SOPO MURDERERS
WR
Calvin Johnson, Det WR  
36.9
The master returns to his throne.  Just shy of the all time yards per game record.  It makes me wonder how good Stafford actually is when Megatron can just jump into a swarm of DBs and come up with the ball like it was nothing.  Also Dallas losing right at the end never gets old, amirite?



JUST HAVIN' FUN OUT THERE 
TE
Jimmy Graham, NO TE  Q
15.7


Foot’s hurt.  On a limited snap count.  3 targets.


3 catches.  2 touchdowns.  Wins the week.



ROMOCOP TO THE RESCUE
D/ST
24


Wait, are the Jets good, or not?  Anyway, this would be sweeter if my Week 9 crystal ball didn’t tell me Geno Atkins hurt his something-C-L and is out for the year.  :(  Queue the Browns comeback music.



TEAM KAPLAN
K
Josh Brown, NYG K

Scored 100% of his team’s points in a winning effort, hard to argue with that!



Weekly Prizes


Best QB Completion % (min 20 attempts)
Winner:  SoPo Murderers!  Aaron Rodgers 24/29 = 82.6% !


Next Week:  Winning team with fewest points from a Kicker
