The Week in Review...

The Week in Review…
Another high scoring week for Brady owners as the Patriot QB topped his performance from last week with 6TD’s against the Fish. Again this week we saw a kicker go crazy as Rob Bironas put 8 through the uprights though he is only owned by an average of 3 percent of all owners so I doubt he did much to swing the balance of this weeks fantasy results. Finally the week had a few more fantasy starters get dinged including Ronnie Brown who has been a consistent performer this fantasy season but overall a healthier week then normal in fantasyville.
The Games:
Titans 38 @ The Texans 36
The Titans looked like they were on their way to a dominating victory before Matt Schaub got hurt and Sage Rosenfels came into relieve him and throw for just under 300 yards and 4 scores. He found four different receivers including a long one to Andre Davis and once to Kevin Walter as well. The Titans were led by their kicker who had 8FG’s but the trend that Fantasy owners have to be most excited about is that Lindale White scored again and this time topped 100 yards as well so make sure to keep him active in your line-ups.
Pats 49 @ The Fish 28
Brady did it again as he through for 6 TD’s throwing 2 to Moss and Welker who is quickly becoming a must start moving forward as the Pats show no signs of putting the ball on the ground. The fish were blown out by the end of the 1st half and may have lost Ronnie Brown for a while so check your injury reports as if Brown is dinged up I doubt he will see the field as the Fish have nothing to play for anymore.
49ers 15 @ The G-Men 33
The Giants continued their surge behind the legs of Brandon Jacobs who ran for a 100 yards + a score and Eli Manning threw 2 more scores one to Shockey and the other to Toomer who has all of the sudden returned to fantasy relevance. The Giants defense also continued to put points on the board as they ran one back and sacked the QB 6 more times. The 49ers struggled offensively yet again and Frank Gore owners are suffering because of it. DJax finally found the end zone towards the final minutes of the game so hopefully they can build upon that.
Dirty Birds 16 @ Da Saints 22
Drew Brees and company did not put up a ton of points but did enough to get victory number two and along the way through 2 scores as well. Brees was about the only performer worth mentioning on the Saints side and well the Falcons were looking good behind Bryon Leftwich until he turned his ankle and had to finish the rest of the game on the pine. Roddy White continued along his breakout season being targeted 8 times for over a 100 yards and a score.
The Bucs 16 @ The Lions 23
The Mike Martz Air show has been grounded but now worries Kevin Jones is back to carry the load for the Lions as he broke the century mark and found the end zone for the third time this season. This is a good sign for the Lions overall as the more the running game produces the better off the passing game will be long term. The Bucs were led by Garcia who threw for 316 yards + 2 scores as the the running game has become less of a factor for this team as the injuries to the line may be too much for them to overcome.
Cards 19 @ Skins 21
Jason Campbell disappointed many fantasy football owners who expected him to at least match the 44 year old QB wonder from the Panthers but produced bubkas throwing for less then a 100 yards and no TD’s. Clinton Portis however did cross the goal line twice but only managed to gain 43 yards on the ground. The Cards are a hurting bunch right now and against the tough D of the skins they struggled on offense. Anquan Boldin however returned to the field and found the end zone in his first day back.
Ravens 14 @ Bills 19
The Ravens went into Buffalo expecting an easy time against the Bills of Buffalo but only found it hard to get their offense going. McGahee broke off a long one on his way to a 114 yard day and Boller found Mason for a score as Derek continues to be a regular producer for the Ravens. The Bills were led by rookie RB Marshawn Lynch who found the end zone yet again and is the most consistent performer in their line-up other then their kicker Mr. Lindell.
Chiefs 12 @ Raiders 10
LJ did it again as he found the end zone for the second time in two weeks and also went for a 100 yards so LJ owners should feel good about putting him in their line-up the rest of the way. LJ was about all there was to talk about in this one as both teams struggled to put up points.
Bungles 38 @ J.E.T.S 31
Kenny Watson was the story in this one as the one-time sub filled in quite admirably for Rudi Johnson find the end zone three separate times for the Bungles who desperately needed a win. The Housh remained Carlson Palmer’s primary target hauling in 4 balls and including one for a score. Chad Pennington may have just done just enough to hold to his job as he found Coles two times and Cotchery once on his way to a 3TD performance.
The Hapless Rams 6 @ Seahawks 33
Who will win first that is the question will it be the Rams or the Dolphins who knows but what we do know is that the Fish still put up points and the Rams do not do so regularly so be wary when playing your Rams. The Seahawks are still waiting for Alexander to wake up but in the meantime they are leaning on the arm of Matt Hasselback who found back-up TE Will Heller twice in the end zone for the only two offensive touchdowns in this game. The rest of the offense came from the kickers and the defense in what must have been a boring contest for everyone but the Seahawk fans.
Vikes 14 @ The Cowboys 24
Adrian Peterson is human as he only found the end zone one time could muster only 63 yards against the defense of the Boys. The other Vikings score came from their defense on a fumble return and they continue to remain a must start moving forward. The Cowboys also got a score from their defense in addition to one the ground from Barber and one through the air from Romo who found T.O in the back of the end zone.
Bears 19 @ The Birds 16
The Brian Gresie led Bears found a way to win again primarily behind 4 FG’s from Robbie Gould and through Brian did throw for 322 yards and a score to Mushin Muhammad. The once vaunted Eagles offense is vaunted no more as maybe that knee is really bothering Donovan Mcnabb as he continues to struggle to find consistency with his wide receiving core as both Brown and Curtis were shut down this week and it looks like those folks who drafted Brown need to begin to find alternative options as he is clearly a bust.
The Steelers 28 @ Broncos 31
The Sunday night game was an exciting one as a Jason Elam last second field goal was the difference in this one. In this game both QB’s played well as Big Ben threw for 4TD’s and Mr. Cutler threw for 3 more in a game where you would have expected the running games to dominate. While Jay spread the ball around Big Ben found his two favorite targets in Heath Miller who grabbed two and Santonio Holmes who found pay dirt once.
