This Week’s Top Team: “I want 150! I want it, I want it. Like Jessica Simpson wants high def, I want this.” 157 my people, finally busted out the 150 mark… This is how I did it, with Mr. Brees leading the way.
QB: Drew Brees: My main fantasy point slanging man broke down some barriers this week against Dallas, as he outperformed the 2nd highest scoring QB by 15 points. How many did Drew accumulate? 45. Championship!
RB: Ladell Betts: Betts finished with 171 rushing yards, and couldn’t’ even touch the Top 10 this week. What a day for running backs. Betts took me home 18 fantasy points, which is close to what I expected from him. A score would have been nice, but honestly, picky freaking picky.
RB: LaDainian Tomlinson: “The Broncos struggle with All World guys, as it seems to crush their spirits. LT is a SpiritCrusher!” Actually, until the last moments of the game, LT was having a relatively normal RB outing. And then he scored two touchdowns in a couple minutes, giving him 28 fantasy points, and the season touchdown record with 3 more games to go.
WR: Terrell Owens: TO is struggling, but luckily, struggling for this extremely talented donkey comes in the form of 56 yards and a score, good enough for 11 fantasy points. Nice drop on that bomb though.
WR: Darrell Jackson: “But it you want flat out consistency in points from the receiver spot, there’s not a better cat in the league than Jackson.” Jack wasn’t the dominate force, but his 60 yards and a score gave him 12 points, which happens to be very consistent.
TE: Antonio Gates: “Best tight end in the league, bar none. Gotta take him here.” Somehow (7 catches, 104 yards, 2 scores… maybe?) Gates etched out the best week by a tight end. Weird. 22 points for the big fella.
K: Josh Brown: I’d curse the Hawks for not giving Josh a chance, but hell, my normal kicker put up -1, so 3 points here doesn’t look as bad all of a sudden.
D: Bengals: Not the 25+ points I was looking for, but Cincinnati haulted the Raiders (no problem) stacking up 18 fantasy points for good Ol’ Lucky.
LUCKY’S Week 14 SLEEPERS
Jake Delhomme and Tony Romo: Jake didn’t play, and Tony had a terrible day. Romo’s touchdown was a sure interception that slipped through the defender. As good as I was with my main picks, I was that bad with these two sleeper hopefuls. 11 for Tony, and DNP for Jake.
Alex Smith: Smith only had 10 fantasy points, and basically couldn’t get it done for his squad of marry men. His 48% completion rate and 2 interceptions were like daggers in the hearts of Niner fans. Mine too.
Steven Jackson: Steven Jackson won my fantasy playoff game for me, his 25 points on 81 rushing yards, and 58 receiving yards, plus a score in both category, pushed me over the top. Good man, that Stee-Jack.
Maurice Drew: “Mo is the most explosive player on the Jaguars’ squad. He has to get more touches in the biggest game of Jacksonville’s season. Touches are all this youngster needs to show people what he’s all about.” Okay, can I call these big days from backs or what? Mo only had 15 carries, but he took them for 166 yards and two touchdowns. He had 15 yards receiving on one catch, and he took a kickoff return 93 yards to the house. That was good for 35 fantasy points in my league that also awards 6 for a return score. Yeehaw!
Javon Walker: 5 points for J-Walk, besides my running backs and defensive sleepers, J Walk had a pretty nice game for this group.
Matt Jones: Nothing. As the Jaguar running game dominated, Matt had a couple nice blocks. No points for those, though.
Ben Watson: Benny caught on to my sleeper sickness, scoring 0 points for the Pats, who got blanked by the Dolphins 21-0.
Chicago Bears DST: 19 points, but as a defense, they weren’t Bear-like at all. Thanks to Devin Hester’s two return touchdowns, though, Chicago once again finished as a top 5 defense in Week 14.
LUCKY’S Week 14 Moss’S
Brad Johnson: Brad was lucky he got the call on a short goal-line touchdown run, because other than the 6 points he got for the rushing score in my league, his passing totals only gave him 5 fantasy points. 11 total for Brutal Brad.
Joseph Addai: 11 carries, 22 yards. Is that good? Don’t ask Edgerrin James in Arizona, he’ll call that shizzy average.
Eddie Kennisson: EK-G needed and EKG this week, as his 13 yards on one catch might have helped end the Chiefs run at a playoff spot.
Randy Moss: Randy’s ankle hurts after his 1 fantasy point performance. An ouchie per point, not bad for Mr. Moss himself.
