There were a lot of blowouts this week so Im going with this big upset in the Embarrassment of Riches Bowl. Carter was without the services of Wes Welker and Vernon Davis but was able to pull out a big win regardless. He got a solid start from Drew Brees (28.5) despite the Saints losing to the Jets (Woot Woot!!) Also, Jason Witten (28) finally broke out of his 3 week slump with 8 recs for 102 yds and a TD. But all this pales in comparison to the performance of my Man of the Match Andre Johnson (59). With the Texans new starter Case Keenum (40.5) throwing to him he had by far his best game of the season with a 9/229/3 line and effectively blew this matchup open on SNF. Matt Forte (32.5) put forth a valiant effort for Medlock totaling 179 Yards from scrimmage and a TD on MNF but by then the damage was done.

Best Player: What a week we had for receivers Eh. Of course the aforementioned Andre Johnson (59)
takes the cake this week I must also give some love to TY Hilton (46.5) who in the same game had a 7/121/3 line that was crucial to the Colts comeback against the Texans. He filled in big time for Reggie Wayne in this contest and looks to be the Colts #1 threat down the stretch.

Most Surprising Performance: I usually reserve this section for players who were started but rules
are made to be broken. By far the most surprising performance of the year is Nick Foles (64.5) 7 TD passes against the Raiders. He had arguably the best passing game in the history of the league on Sunday forever etching his name next to the likes of Peyton Manning (2013), YA Tittle (1962), Sid Luckman (1943) and some other old dudes most of us have ever heard of.

Guttsiest Play of the Week: The Browns (9) have one of the most underrated defense units in the
league. Thats why Wong made the switch from the Eagles D (7) to the Browns D (9) at the last minute and was rewarded with a couple extra points. Whoopee!! The Dawg Pound stepped up big against the Ravens recording 2 sacks, a Joe Haden INT and a Forced Fumble. Haden (11) is one of the top cover corners in the league and locked up T Smith (12) all day. He also has a mighty impressive Sneaker collection to Boot. (See what I did there?) Makes sense, I mean what the hell else is there to do in Cleveland?

Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda:
Me: Zac Stacy (41.5) > Arian Foster (0) & Andy Luck (29.5) > RG 3 TDs from the Effin Full Back (18.3) Im not gonna lie I really screwed myself this week. I crunched the numbers and I indeed did cost myself a 167-165.3 victory against Frank. Foster was Highly Questionable coming in and was immediately knocked out of the game after 1 carry. His counterpart Zac Stacy, on the other hand Gutted the Titans Defense for 127 yards and 2 TDs. Luck proved he can still be successful without future hall of famer Reggie Wayne outplaying RG3 for yet another week. Frank: Chris Ivory (23.5) > Jerome Simpson (4) I didnt just beat myself. Frank had something to do with it but he could have alleviated my guilt with this move. Ivory came up big for the Jets against his former team carrying the load with 18 carries for 139 yards and a TD earning a 7.7 YPC. What you think his hands have been soaking in Ivory Liquid?! Voege: Tom Brady (44.8) > Andy Dalton (4) Clearly, Tom Brady just doesnt like being on your team Voege. He must have known you benched him and decided to go off against the Steelers for 432 yards and 4 TDs. Hollaaaa!! All the single BRADYS All the single BRADYS!! Gus: Losing Aaron Rodgers is the final straw here. The Bears shoved him in the Cheese Grader and knocked him out for the next 3 weeks. You basically needed to win out to m ake the playoffs and thats not happening. While I like being guaranteed a new champ this has truly been a miserable season for you and that sucks. Good luck in the Consolation Bracket I Guess. Dr Joey Ds prescription: Dont Auto Draft!!! Kinan: Nick Foles (64.5) > Jason Campbell (32.8) Whered the Eagles confidence go here? Figures youd miss out on Foles break out performance. The good news is you still would have lost so it doesnt cut so deep. That and the Eagles are only 1 game out of the NFC East division lead. Sean: Gronk (33) and Graham (38) finally delivered in the same week and it was worth the wait. This was st Seans plan when drafting these two and it has him tied for 1 place. Gronk got banged up in this game but has a BYE this week so he should have plenty of time to recover for Seans playoff run. A week 13 FLEX matchup between Jameet and Sean may be on the horizon. Nick W: Douche Alert!! Ya really pissed me off this week. I mean ya made a couple moves to set yourself up and there were options at QB to pick up but not setting your lineup is inexcusable. I should also mention that if you had set your lineup and grabbed a QB/LB you would have beat Wong with points to th spare. But instead of 4 wins and 2 in a row you remain in 10 place with very slim playoff hopes. Joes obvious statement of the week: This weeks effort was the opposite of competitive. Thanks for that.

Wong: Well looka here now!! Wong may have been bailed out by Weber this week but a WinsaWinsaWin th and this was his 5 . Wongs season has been the definition of up and down WLWLWLWLW. Is Wong trying to tell us something? Whats the hidden message here? Lets try to play it backwards WLWLWLWLW . Now Im scared!!!

Closing Comments:
We may have had a lot of blowouts this week but its affect on the standings made things even more st rd competitive. Sean and Jameet are still tied for 1 . Frank is the lone 6 win team in 3 . Rich, Me, Dan and Wong all have 5 wins as we battle it out for the 3 remaining playoff spots. With 4 wins Carter and Voege are each just one game back now. Weber cost himself a Win but is still barely alive at 3-6 while once again Kinan (2-7) and Gus (1-8) duke it out for last place. There are 4 very important matchups this week. Voege has come on of late and looks to keep rolling against Medlock. Brady will not be available but Dalton is a formidable backup in a division game with the Ravens. Matt Ryan is on a bit of a downslide and will have to deal with the best secondary in the league Seattle. Wong will look to change things up and go for consecutive wins for the first time this year. He will need big games from RBs AD and Frank Gore if he wants to beat Sean though. Sean has Gronk on BYE but has a few good flex options with his bevy of time-share RBs. Will he choose the right one? Jameet will continue his daunting stretch of potential playoff teams (Sean, Dan, Frank & Me Weeks 8-11) but he has managed to keep his first place crown up until this point. With Jamaal Charles, Danny Amendola and Josh Gordon all on bye his bench will need to step up. He will face Frank who has won 2 in a row and will only be missing Ridley from his starting lineup. Finally, I will take on Alien QB Rich Carter for the first time ever in a Fantasy setting. Injuries have plagued my team but I was my own worst enemy last week. I will look to avoid another slip up this week and hope Double GG will be enough to replace J Cameron. Carter needs a few defensive replacements but his offense seems to be at full strength. Our matchup relies heavily on late game Sunday DAL @ NO as we will both wait for the Cavalry to arrive. Thats how we wrap it up feel free to post any comments, ideas for categories or trophies on the league page or facebook group. And now without further ado here are my Week 10 Predictions: Week 9 Results: 3-2 OVR: 25-20 On quite a roll now! Frank def Jameet Voege def Rich Kinan def Dan M Weber def Gus Wong def Sean Electric Copper Vs the Hot Sauce Gobbler: Joe Vs Carter (You Decide) * Matchup of the week candidate >> **Prop $60: Highest Points scored in any One Week - $60.** Our current leader is: Weber (Ahh Phuck) with 269.3 in Week 1.
