Double Secret Probation vs. Lee H.
Eli Manning never is talked about as one of the better fantasy QBs in the league, and yet he produces some solid scores almost every single week. Week 6 was no exception, as his 17 points was one of the biggest contributions to Double Secret Probation’s 112.4-97.3 win over Lee H. Besides Manning, the rest of DSP’s lineup also had some great scores, led by Arian Foster with 21.7 points and Andre Johnson with 19.8. Lee H. had a couple great scores from Aaron Rodgers and Rashard Mendenhall, but it wasn’t enough to overcome all of the great plays that his opponent had this week.
Hoofhearted vs. Brett M.
Inserting Ben Roethlisberger into a fantasy-starting lineup on his first game of the season would definitely classify as a risky move, but Brett M. reaped the rewards of his gamble by racking up 24.7 points from Roethlisberger and defeating Hoofhearted, 95.8-73.2. Brett M. put even more trust into the Steelers this week by starting both Mike Wallace and the defense as well. He got the same results as he did by starting Big Ben, earning 15 points from Wallace and 19 from the Steelers defense. Meanwhile, Hoofhearted had a week to forgot. Tony Romo’s 26 points was the only meaningful contribution, as players like Kevin Walter and Laurence Maroney failed to deliver much of anything.
Creeping Death vs. Squatter’s Rights
In a week when Creeping Death sat both Calvin Johnson’s 20.6 points and Jeremy Maclin’s 27.9, he still somehow managed to defeat Squatter’s Rights by a score of 84-71.4. Even with the two stud WR’s on the bench, Creeping Death had some solid outings from Joseph Addai, Tom Brady and Ahmad Bradshaw that helped him capture the victory. Miles Austin’s poor game was like a disease for fantasy owners in Week 6, as a lot of games could have ended differently if Austin had a typical Miles Austin score. Unfortunately for Squatter’s Rights, the disease spread to him even in the face of a 24.7 outing from Drew Brees and a 12.3 game from Anquan Boldin.
Meet the Mutts vs. The Warriors (Come Out and Play)
This match came down the wire, with Meet the Mutts winning 110-108.5 over The Warriors. Meet the Mutts didn’t have any outstanding players in this match, but the overall productivity of his players, outside of the rare poor game from Hakeem Nicks, was enough to put together a great week in fantasy and snag the win. The Warriors made a great start at QB by going with Kevin Kolb, who earned 27.1 points. LaDainian Tomlinson also came up huge for him this week, scoring 18.7 points and proving once again to be one of the best value picks this year. In essence, both owners did have a great week, but there can only be one winner.
Buddy’s Watching You vs. Titans
Brandon Jacobs may still have some bad blood with the Giants organization, but that didn’t hurt any of his production on Sunday. He had his best game of the season with 2 TDs, earning him 15.5 fantasy points. He was one of the leading forces for Titans 102.7-74.9 win over Buddy’s Watching You. Coincidentally, Titans other two great scores this week came from Chris Johnson, with 19.1 points, and the Titans defense, with 20 points. Buddy’s Watching You fell way short in this matchup, and one of the main reasons why might have been the curious decision to start Earnest Graham at running back. While Graham was the only other available RB on his roster that wasn’t injured, it earned him 0 points. His team will need to get healthy for him to stay in contention.
Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah Fund vs. Team RamRod
There had to be some sweet satisfaction for RamRod in his 109.9-71.4 win over Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah fund. With a bench full of injuries and handcuffs, he was forced into starting Ryan Torain and Dwayne Bowe. Both players haven’t done much this season, but both decided to have breakout games in the same week, with Torain running for 22.9 points and Bowe catching 2 TDs for 22.8. Surprise games like those pushed RamRod to the win. Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah Fund didn’t have many noteworthy scores in his starting lineup outside of Frank Gore’s 14.9, but he did have 15.8 points from Deion Branch, who sat on the bench. It was Branch’s first game back with the Patriots, so Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah Fund can hope that Branch’s career will be reborn with New England.
