Weekly Recap (w5)

Beast from the East

Guess who's the #1 runningback in fantasyland?

Week 5 is complete and we have whittled the undefeateds down to one.  "My team -" now stands alone atop first place in the BIG TIME after a 106-93 defeat of the Biggest Fumblers.  A massive part of "the minus"'s success this season has been the dominant Buffalo Bills runningback Fred Jackson.  75 players were chosen ahead of Jackson in our September draft, but the FJ Cruiser has now passed Ray Rice, LeSean McCoy and Darren McFadden as tops at his position.     

WEEK 5: Awards

Owner of the week: FormerlyKnownAsFavre (115pts)

The owner formerly known as Favre was too good for the previously undefeated Hunk Hoisters after getting big games from Vick, the law firm and stupid Pierre Garcon.  Clearly Curtis Painter has Garcon on his fantasy team, but someone needs to tell him that throwing to somebody else and winning one of his actual games might benefit his career a little more.  The genius that is ESPN was exactly 55 points off on their prediction of this game.  Dave is back into the playoff fight at 2-2-1.   

Player of the week: Adrian Peterson, 30pts (Fumblers)

It was almost as if Adrian was toying with us through the first few weeks of the season.  He played just well enough to validate his first round status, but wasn't putting up special numbers.  That all changed against the Cards this weekend, as Adrian Peterson shredded Arizona for 3 touchdowns and 28 of his 30 points in the first quarter.  What could this guy do if he tried to score fantasy points?? I shudder at the thought.  

[Honorable Mention: Ben Roethlisberger aka "Big Benny B", 27pts]

Ben seemed to prefer Hines 57 on his Roethlisberger this week with 2 of his 5 TD passes going to Hines Ward.

2nd Honorable Mention: Dwayne Bowe, 24pts.

You all should NFL.com or youtube Dwayne Bowe's TD catch if you haven't seen it.  There has been better catches; but not many of them.

Double-take Award: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, 26pts (FormerlyKnownAsFavre)

First it was Danny Woodhead, then it was Stevan Ridley.  Many have threatened Green-Ellis' starting role this season, but Bellichick showed confidence in his started giving him the ball 27 times on the ground.  I'll have to admit, I was worried about his role on the offense, but he looked like the top-12 back he was drafted as he tore up the Jets interior defense.

[Honorable Mention: Pierre Garcon, 24pts]

Coaching move of the week: My Team -

"The minus" drafted the 3.9%-owned Steve Breaston and has stuck with him since.  Despite averaging 4 points through the first four weeks, Rick started him versus Indianapolis and was rewarded with 17 points in a week he won by 14.      

Special Teams Award: Sebastian Janikowski, 20pts (Point Machine)

You can't stop him you can only hope to falsely imprison him.  Janikowski has a serious leg and has hit 11 of 12 field goals this season including three 50-yarders on Sunday.  Fortunately for point machine, it doesn't appear Janikowski will serve any suspension time after he was charged with misdememeanor battery and false imprisonment of a woman back in September.

[Honorable Mention: Mason Crosby, 15 pts]

The many faces of Sebastian Janikowski...

No one listens when Janikowski yells

Rumor has it, even the punter beat him up once.

Janikoswki also thinks that if he has 2 bars on his helmet instead of 1, people will think that he's a legitimate position player.

"Gosh I'm beautiful."

The Weekly Haha Award: Darren McFadden, 6pts (Fumblers)

McFadden was the #1 runningback going into the week and ran into a good Texan run defense.  Another performance I wouldn't describe as a choke, but the Fumblers could have used more from him in a close matchup with the minus.

[Dishonorable Mention: Dallas Clark, Mike Williams 0pts]

==========================

Theres a new king-of-the-mountain now.  Lets all go after him in week 6!
