Wilmington Wookies vs. Jordan.
Two Indianapolis Colts fueled the Jordans’ 126-113 win over the Wookies. Jacob Tamme, who has had to fill the considerable shoes of Dallas Clark, led all starters in this game with 37, while Reggie Wayne, one of the few healthy wide receivers available to Peyton Manning, scored 19. Dez Bryant, maybe the only bright spot on the Dallas Cowboys at this points, contributed 23 points to the Jordans cause. James Jones of the Green Bay Packers put up a team-high 36 points for the Wookies, but Brandon Tate’s lack of production (2 points) clearly hurt the Wookies as much as it hurt the New England Patriots. Heck, the Jordans didn’t even need the 39 points Eli Manning scored on the bench.
Compton Colons vs. Manning to Nicks.
The Colons rode a pair of “Holy crap!!” performances to a 179-136 victory over the Nicks. Peyton Hillis rode roughshod over the New England Patriots and put up 46 points for the Colons, and Steve Johnson, in yet another gallant but losing effort for the Buffalo Bills, scored 35. As a result, the Colons were able to brush off the single point they got from Carolina’s Steve Smith, whose fantasy hopes seem to be fading with each passing week. The Nicks got some healthy performances of its own. One of its namesakes, Hakeem Nicks, led the way with 34 points, followed closely by another New Yorker, Mark Sanchez (33).
FKAR vs. Montclair Moonshiners.
It’s never a good thing to have your top starter produce only 15 points. For the FKARs, that honor went to Tony Gonzalez. No fewer than five Moonshiners outscored Mr. Gonzalez in a 143-82 pounding of the FKARs. Michael Turner and Mike Wallace tied for the honor of top Moonshiner scorer with 32 points each in important wins over division rivals. Brandon Jackson contributed 22 points. Matt Schaub added 18 points to the cause, while Dwayne Bowe (who is quickly becoming a touchdown specialist for the surprising Kansas City Chiefs) scored 17 points.
Franchise 4 Kicking Your Ass vs. Tigris Tigris.
Normally, getting 40 points from your quarterback, as the Tigris did this week from Aaron Rodgers, would be enough to ensure a fantasy win. However, the Franchise’s Arian Foster trumped Rodgers with a 45-point outburst. In fact, Foster was one of six double-digit starters for the Franchise, which prevailed over the Tigris by a score of 122-109. Getting 15 points from Matt Ryan and 14 from Steve Smith of the New York Giants allowed the Franchise to overlook Brent Celek’s fantasy donut. The Tigris, on the other hand, could not afford Calvin Johnson’s getting lost on Revis Island and emerging with only 2 points.
Dreshertown Dragons vs. Columbus Clobber Knockers.
Most fantasy football teams that get a single point from one of its running backs (Felix Jones) and minus-1 point from another (Beanie Wells) would be in trouble. But Terrell Owens’ 46-point Monday night explosion more than made up for the lack of ground production for the Dragons, who defeated the Knockers by a score of 147-115. Drew Brees also helped the Dragons cause by scoring 30 points in a pounding of the woeful Carolina Panthers. Philip Rivers led the Knockers scoring with 43 points, followed by Ray Rice with 24. But the Knockers got only a single point from Darren Sproles, who is becoming the forgotten man in the San Diego Chargers offense.
The Best Team Ever (For real this time.) vs. Kibera Welder.
Every single point made a difference in this game, which the Welders took by a score of 117-116. Adrian Peterson led the Best Team scoring with 30 points, followed by Larry Fitzgerald with 27. However, lineup choices cost the Best Team dearly. They could have pulled out the win by starting Greg Olsen (11 points) instead of Kellen Winslow (6) or by using the Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams (14) instead of the New England Patriots (0). The Welders got 33 points from DeSean “Concussion? What Concussion?” Jackson, 32 points from the Green Bay Packers defense/special teams and 23 points from Peyton Manning.
