The Week in Review...

The Week in Review…
What an explosive week in fantasy as we say welcome back to the stud running backs led by LT who carried many owners to victory this with AP & LJ and a myriad of others who all had great days on the gridiron. But it wasn’t just the running backs as the QB’s also went wild led by Tom “I am so money” Brady, Derek Anderson & Brian Gresie who all went crazy through the air. The WR’s were led by Housh and Braylon Edwards who both continued to climb the ladder to fantasy stardom. We also lost a few more QB’s in Young & Warner who was already filling in for Leinhart at the RB position Sammy Morris who was subbing for Lawerence Maroney left the game and did not return, but enough with the chitter-chatter lets see what happened in the games.
The Games:
Texans 17 @ The Jags 37
MJD followed up his solid week last week with another fabulous performance rushing for a buck twenty five and finding paydirt twice and one was from 57 so that is a bonus. Garrard threw for two TD’s and over 200 yards so if he was your bye-week replacement that worked out well for you. Andre Davis owners have to be upset as he fumbled a score away at the goaline and was a non-factor in the contest as was Schwab who finished the game on the bench. Ahman Green found no room against the Jags front four and the Texans performer was Kevin Walter who caught 12 balls for a 160 yards but could not find the endzone.
Redskins 14 @ The Pack 17
It was a low scoring contest as the game featured two of the leagues best defenses. The Pack only scored one offensive touchdown and that was by Deshaun Wynn who should be picked up if he is on your waiver wire. Jason Campbell was involved in both TD’s for the skins running for one and passing for another finding Chris Cooley for a score. Brett Favre and his merry band of receivers were held in check but look for them to return in two weeks as the Pack has a bye next week.
Spineless Fish 31 @ The Dawg Pound 41
Make room Peyton & Marvin as Derek and Braylon went wild against the Fish hooking up three separate times and continue to bring it every week. I think Braylon clearly belong in your line-up every week regardless of the match-up and if you have Derek on your team and don’t have a Brady, Manning or Romo you could do worse. The fish were led by fill in QB Cleo Lemon who threw for two and ran for two more. Fantasy superstar Ronnie Brown broke the century mark but could not find the end zone.
Vikes 34 @ Da Bears 31
Wow!! What a performance by Adrian Peterson who ran wild against the once vanted Bears defense heading to the house 3 times from 73,67 & 35 yards away totaling 224 yards. He was not the only one who put up big numbers as Brian Gresie threw 381 yards and 3 TD’s one each to Muhammad, Berrian & Hester who ran back another punt return for a score. If you caught our video show last week and need a bye week replacement I hope you grabbed Mr. Gresie for your squad.
Hornless Rams 3 @ The Ravens 22
This was an ugly game plain and simple. Gus Frerrote who was filling in for Bulger threw 5 INT’s rendering the Rams harmless. The Ravens were led by Matt Stover who kicked 5 FG’s and Willis McGahee who finally found pay dirt. A boring game plain and simple.
Titans 10 @ Bucs 13
The Titans looked lost without their leader Vince Young who left the game and did not return forcing Billy Volek to take the healm. This game was as the score suggests a defensive battle as the Titans got their touchdown from Lindale White who carried it 25 times for the run heavy team from Tennessee. Jeff Garcia found Joey Galloway in the end zone for a score and Matt Bryant kicked 2 through the uprights but this game was boring.
Eagles 16 @ J.E.T.S (Just End The Season) 9
Well it is time to say good-bye to another of our playoff teams from last season proving a 5th place schedule can do wonders as the Jets laid an egg at home against the Eagles failing to reach the end zone at all. The only player who produced points was kicker Mike Nugent who kicked three through the uprights. The once vaunted Eagle offense did just enough to bring home the victory as McNabb hooked up on a 75 yard screen pass to Kevin Curtis who took it to the house. McNabb did throw for 278 and even found Reggie Brown 6 times for 89 yards so maybe not all is lost Brown owners. Brian Westbrook crossed the century mark in his return to the line-up.
Bungles 20 @ Hail to The Chiefs 27
Welcome back LJ as he ran for over a 100 and found the end zone this week his schedule will continue to get better so get ready to ride the gravy train for a while. Tony Gonzalez also enjoyed a nice afternoon as he caught 9 balls two of which were touchdowns and crossed the century mark as well. Carson Palmer and Housh hooked up twice in the end zone as Carlson threw for 300 yards in the loss to the Chiefs. Ocho Cinco was unable to perform his end zone dance this week but he did catch 8 balls for 83 yards.
Pats 48 @ The Boys 27
Tom Brady threw for 388 yards and 5 TD’s to lead the Pats to victory against the Cowboys leaving the Pats and Colts as the only undefeated teams left in the NFL. Tom’s main targets were Wes Welker who caught 11 balls for 124 yards and 2 TD’s and Donte Stallworth who went for 136 and a TD. Randy Moss had a modest day but still found the end zone and about the only bad news for the Pats was the loss of Sammy Morris who left the field early in the 2nd half and did not return. The Cowboys and the offensive machine were led by Romo who threw for 199 and 2 TD’s one of which was to Owens and the other to Crayton who is quickly becoming a mainstay in the Dallas offense.
The Raiders 14 @ LT & The Chargers 28
LT is back folks as he explodes for 4 TD’s and 198 yards on the ground against the Silver and Black which always seem to bring out the best in him. The Bolts Defense also stood out in this game causing 3 turnover while sacking Culpepper 6 times. The Silver and Black found it tough going getting only one TD from their offense as Culpepper found rookie Zach Miller alone in the back of the end zone for a score.
Old Man Testaverde 25 @ The QB Less Cards 10
Vinny Old Man Testaverde says move over George Blanda and leads the Panthers to victory against the QB less Cards who lost Kurt Warner early in the game and had to turn to journeyman Tim Rattay who proceeded to stink it up against the energize Panther defense. Vinny found Steve Smith for a 65 yard bomb and threw for over 200 yards so one might wonder if we will see David Carr behind center next week even if he is healthy. Edge continued to be a focal point for the Cards offense and managed to find the end zone to go along with 80 yards on the ground.
Ain’t Winless No More 28 @ The Hawks 17
We say welcome to the win column to the New Orleans Saints who rode an early special teams touchdown and Drew Brees arm to their first victory who threw two TD’s one to Colston and one his security blanket Eric Johnson. Fantasy owners just want to know was this an anomaly or are the Saints back as even Reggie Bush seemed to get on track. The Seahawks were missing Dieon Branch and never seemed to be able to get on track but still threw two TD’s one to Burleson and the other Obomanu who both had good days in an attempt to replace Branch.
