Week 12 brought one of my favourite events of the fantasy year. It also saw a continued slide for at least 2 teams, even more confusion about the middle, a return to form for others, and a glimpse of hope for some.
Let's get to the summary:
Average score jumped to 100.4 points from last week's 83.3, while the average margin expanded slightly to 22.1 points. 6 Teams made it into triple digits and just one team below 70 (more on this special case to follow).
Performer of The Week:
With 6 teams in triple digits, there were lots of performances to choose from. Taking the glory this week is Eric/Pat/Sunny. That's right, EPS put up 129.7. With 30 coming from one senor Victor Cruz. Honourable mentions to Jeff (127.4 in a loss - more on this shortly), Gregor (125.5), Ashby (Ugh - 125), Hauser (113.3 in a loss), and Harris (111.4). It certainly is nice to be done with the bye weeks.
Senorita Of The Week:
For the third week in a row, Mike D. has wowed us all with his team's awful-ness. This week was a little better than last with 45.1 points, but still bad. Of course, his Defence was slapped with the -10 for letting New Orleans put up 49. I truly love this penalty and await its once a year arrival like a child on Christmas. Schadenfreude perhaps, but I like it.
The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:
This one goes out to the Eric/Pat/Sunny win over Jeff Alls. Monday Night Football proved to be a most dramatic finish as Jeff was trailing by about 30 points and the ESPN computer was projecting a finishing score within a point of each other. Brees put up 50.4 and his kicker 7, but Senor Victor Cruz put up 30 to eek out the win by 2.3 points. Very emotional.
8-3-1 Club:
Devo remains the sole squatter in the leaders lounge. Fortunately, the crowd that was outside the lounge has been dispersed a little by pepper spray (a food product!). But lurking in the area still are Ashby (7-4-1) and Gregor (7-5), plus a gang of shady looking youths down the street at 6-6.
The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
Hillis over Gore could have helped Alls - The only roster change that could have change the tables.
