Well, Lumbergh Effed Her - Week 7 Summaries

by Scott Zlotnick

Little Miss Sunshine vs. Bull Bus LAIn a blowout, Bull Bus LA defeated Little Miss Sunshine, improving their
record to 5-2. Although player scored over 20 points, every player on the team had a
least 10 points. The top scorer on the team this week was Hines Ward, who is
clearly enjoying having Big Ben back at QB. His TD this week was spectacular,
eluding two Dolphins CB’s to get in the end zone. Look for his production to stay
consistent now that Roethlisberger is back and the Steelers go back to a pass
oriented offense. Not only did Little Miss Sunshine lose this week, they lost Tony
Romo for more than likely the rest of the season. They know turn it over to Ryan
Fitzpatrick, who has been a revelation this season in Buffalo. Fitzpatrick has come in
and energized the offense, leading to big plays and big points. He is a top-5 fantasy
QB right now.

Sex Panther vs. aTouchofDowns
In another blowout, Sex Panther beat aTouchofDowns, moving their record to
4-3. Sex Panther got a huge week from the Redskins defense and by defense I mean
Deangelo Hall. His 4 interceptions and a touchdown were huge for the defense,
which dominated the Bears and Jay Cutler all day. ATouchofDowns got a big week
from Joe Flacco and the 49ers defense but received little production from the rest of
their team. After his big return game to the Patriots, Deion Branch came back to
earth this week and struggled to get anything going. The same could be said for the
man he replaced in New England, Randy Moss, who was clearly frustrated with the
lack of passes he was getting from Brett Favre.

Trailer Trashers vs. The Original Suburban Hood Rats
For the third time, we have another blowout, with the Trailer Trashers
defeating The Original Suburban Hood Rats, moving them a game closer to .500.
Leading the way was Roddy White, who has become the best receiver in the league
this season. Despite a fumble that led to a Bengals TD, White had 32 points. His
ability to run after the catch with his size has made him a force this season and he
has been the number one fantasy receiver this season, taking over for Andre
Johnson. The Hood Rats had one of the most unfortunate weeks you could have,
benching both Darren McFadden and Kenny Britt, who combined for 83 points. If
those two had played instead of Michael Crabtree and Ryan Torain, we would have
been talking about a Hood Rats victory.

Asstoria Brown Storm vs. Chachi in ChargeFinally, a close game. The Asstoria Brown Storm edged out Chachi in Charge,
moving into sole possession of first place at 6-1. Leading the charge was Michael
Turner, who finally appears healthy and back to the player fantasy owners expect
him to be. Turner should only get stronger as the season goes on, especially with the
way Roddy White is playing. Teams will be forced to decide how they will cover a
team featuring Turner, White, and Tony Gonzalez, who doesn’t appear to be losing a
step. Things should open up in the front seven and lead to holes in the defense. The
Brown Storm were hurt by having Steve Johnson on the bench, where he put up 21
points and would have led the team to victory had they played him over Larry
Fitzgerald, who is becoming almost irreverent. Without a legitimate QB and Anquan
Boldin, Fitzgerald has really struggled to get going this season. At almost the 2/3
mark of the regular season, it is time to consider benching Fitzgerald. With Ryan
Fitzpatrick at QB, Johnson is a much safer play and is a speedy receiver who is
capable of gaining big chunks of yards quickly.

Frank and Bean’s vs. Tiger’s Used $%@&*
Tiger’s Used Pussy improved their record this week to 5-2 with their defeat of
Frank and Bean’s, whose record dropped to 4-3. Tiger was led by the Giants duo of
Eli Manning and Hakeem Nicks. While it is always a risk to play a QB/WR combo,
there may be not better combination going in the NFL right now. Nicks has become
a top-flight WR who uses his combination of size and speed to dominate smaller
CB’s. Frank and Bean’s were hurt by the poor play of Rashard Mendenhall, whose
role appears to be shrinking with the return of Big Ben. Although Rashard is still a
must play, his numbers are surely to be lower than the first four weeks when Big
Ben was suspended.

OGs vs. WhoDat-TasteMyGoldenSpray
In the lowest scoring but closest scoring game of the week, WhoDat defeated
the OG’s, improving their record to 5-2. WhoDat was led by the strong performance
of Matt Ryan, who had a big bounce back week after a rough game in Philadelphia.
The connection of Ryan to White is becoming what Schaub to Johnson was last
season, an unstoppable duo. There’s only so much you can do to contain them. Next
week, it may be smart to play Thomas Jones over Ryan Mathews, who has not had
the season people expected of him. The OG’s lost this week due to the poor
production of their WR’s. It will be interesting to see how Miles Austin adjusts to Jon
Kitna and how long it will take to build chemistry between the two.
