3YKffl Midseason Week #9

Horwitch 105    Fienberg 13
In over a decade of playing fantasy football, I'm not sure I've seen as lopsided a score as Horwitch's blasting of Fienberg in Week 9. Peyton Hillis was a monster for Horwitch, who sit tied atop the NFC standings, scoring 42 points, and Michael Vick (18), Ahmad Bradshaw (17) also made positive contributions. Fienberg, who is still in contention with a 5-4 record, got 10 points from Matt Ryan, three from Mike Nugent, and zero from his six other players. Better times are certainly ahead for Fienberg, but last week's performance will sting for a long time to come. 

Meyers 85    Goldston 64
In a battle of 4-4 teams, Meyers held a comfortable 62-29 lead heading into the Sunday night game between the Packers and Cowboys. Goldston narrowed the margin considerable with the Packers D/ST putting up 17 points and Greg Jennings chipping in 9, but Meyers got 12 from Brandon Jackson in a breakout game, to hold a 74-55 lead going into Monday night. Jeff Reed outscored Cedric Benson 11 points to 9 on MNF, allowing Meyers to pull away for the much needed victory. 

Steele 128    Berman 87
Things just keep getting worse for Berman. Powered Aaron Rodger's 27 points and Ray Rice's 21, Berman trailed by just five points going into the Monday night game between the Bengals and Steelers. He had a chance with Hines Ward still left to play, but Rashard Mendenhall (18) and Terrell Owens (24) both had monster games to propel Steele to the week's highest point total. Arian Foster went off for 36 and Philip Rivers had 25 in the winning effort. Steele now tops the AFC standings with a 6-3 record, while Berman falls to a disappointing 2-7.

Freedman 67    Chaiken 36
Yawn. The NFC division-leading Chaiken matched up with bottom-feeder Freedman in what proved to be a snooze-fest in Week 9. Michael Turner and Drew Brees combined for 34 points, which was only two less than Chaiken's entire team posted. BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Beanie Wells, Brandon Tate and the Vikings D/ST all posted goose-eggs, and Mike Williams and Nick Folk were the only players in double figures. The bench didn't fare much better, meaning it was just one of those weeks for Chaiken. Freedman picked up his second win on the year in the low-scoring affair.
