Wilmington Wookies vs. Columbus Clobber Knockers
This one sided affair was highlighted by the play of Knockers’ Week 7 leaders Phillip Rivers and Mike Williams, as they notched 27 and 25 points. Even on an off day Rivers was serviceable, proving that he is a top 5 fantasy quarterback. Ray Rice and Cedric Benson had weak performances with eight points each, but it didn’t really matter thanks an awful week by Wookies. Roy Williams, Brandon Lloyd and Chris Johnson combined for 13 points, Alex Smith had an anemic 11 point game before getting pulled and Davonne Bess was the only player over 15 points with 18. A league low on Wookies part made this an easy win for Knockers.
Compton Colons vs. Kibera Weider
Putting together one of the strongest efforts of the week, Colons relied on 51 combined points between Ahmad Bradshaw and Steven Jackson to defeat Weider. Steve Johnson scored more than starters Santana Moss and Steve Smith by himself and is someone that Colons should consider starting next week. Big time games from Joe Flacco, who had 38 points and Jason Witten with his 26 points helped Weider stay competitive, but Marion Barber, Derrick Mason and Devery Henderson combining for 11 points led to the defeat.
FKAR vs. Jordan
Despite watching a 40-point game from Eli go to waste, Jordan had no trouble in defeating FKAR. Big Ben held his own with 34 points and his favorite target Hines Ward made an impact with 36 points of his own. Maurice Jones Drew still isn’t reaching his potential, but had a decent total of 22 points. Ben Watson stuck out like a sore thumb with only two points, although it had no real impact on the one sided outcome. FKAR had 5 players under 10 points, so a strong 18 point effort from its Seattle D was basically negated. Kyle Orton returned back to Earth with 17 points, as this team was outmatched at every position but team defense.
Manning to Nicks vs. Franchise 4 kicking your ass
The league’s best team was tested in Week 7 and did just enough to secure its sixth victory. Nicks’ name makes perfect sense, as it was the North Carolina graduate who scored 41 points to help it win. Starting Brett Favre over Carson Palmer was a mistake, as Palmer outscored the vet by 32 points. Frank Gore made up for the bad decision, scoring 29 points while his quarterbacks struggled. Matt Ryan gave Franchise 4 a good chance to win by scoring 39 and Nick’s teammate Steve Smith didn’t come up short with 35. Maclin and Moss didn’t have their best games, combining for 21 points, which may have been the difference. Benching Lee Evans’ 44 points didn’t help either.
Dreshertown Dragons vs. Montclair Moonshiners
It’s hard to believe that a league leader would have Matt Hassleback and Brandon Jackson on its roster, but Roddy White’s 55-point eruption helped the Moonshiners complete one of its best weeks to date. Jackson and David Akers chipped in with 18 and 15 points, but Moonshiners was also helped by the Falcons running game. White’ teammate Michael Turner was one of the top running backs this week, scoring 38 points. The Dragons didn’t have a bad week, getting 37 from Marques Colston and 28 points from his quarterback, but the White Turner tandem was almost impossible to defeat this week.
The Best Team Ever vs. Tigris Tigers
The Best team ever didn’t play like it this week, suffering a 30-point defeat to the Tigris Tigers. Chad Ochocino’s 36 points and AP’s 35 points were the highest totals in the contest, but the Tigers consistency sealed the victory. Tigris benched 55-point man Darren McFadden but it didn’t matter. Aaron Rodgers, Thomas Jones, Knowshon Moreno and Ryan Torain all scored over 20 points while Greg Jennings fell just short with 19. Too many players with solid point totals was impossible to overcome and injured Tony Romo’s seven point dud certainly hurt as well. Larry Fitzgerald continues to disappoint TBTE, starting Donald Driver may not be a bad idea.
