Fantasy Football - Week 3
Luke continues his domination. Can anybody stop him? On the other end of things, Dad continued his winless streak but it wasn't really his fault this week. He scored the second most points in the league but ran into The Mountains.
- The Eagles had 473 yards of offense against the Lions -- in the first half.
- San Francisco has a winning record despite being outscored.
- Carolina staged an 80-yard touchdown drive on which 67 yards were penalties against Atlanta.
- Defending NFC champion Chicago has two offensive touchdowns in three games this season.
- Bonus college stat: Syracuse and Louisville combined for 978 yards passing and 115 yards rushing. More on the Syracuse game at tothemancave.com
- Winners this week were Luke, Ed, and Jim.
- I searched for a picture of Brian Westbrook. I wanted to post a picture of the ugly jersey he wore when he scored 42.6 points, but this was the first result so I used it instead.
- Endzone Dance Award: Jim scored the most points this week. 162.44.
- This Isn't Golf Award: I had the lowest score of not just the week, but the entire season. 70.70.
- Put Me In Coach! Award: Luke didn't need the points, but he benched Ronnie Brown who had a great game: 44.10 points. He found the endzone three times!
- Crystal Ball Award: Nobody even came close to starting the right team. Four of you were three players away and that's as good as it got.
- Deadbeat Award: Technically Tim gets the award this week. He realized while we were camping that he forgot to start somebody in place of the injured Andre Johnson. We tried to fix it over my phone but we couldn't get it to work. Then again, the 0 points he point up was better than the negative points I got from Drew Brees. Ouch.

[UPDATE] I forgot to answer a question about the playoffs. This league is set up so that all 6 teams make the playoffs since we have such a small league. The playoffs take place during weeks 14-16 which is the end of the regular NFL season. It's good to be ranked in the top 2 going into the playoffs because you'll get a bye the first round of the playoffs. From the main league screen above the current standings, there is a button that says Playoffs. Click that to see what the playoff schedule would be if they started now. Teams that lose in the playoffs continue to play for places 3 through 6. The good news for this league is that even if you don't win a single game, you could still win the league championship.
