What a boring week of fantasy football. The stars of the NFL dropped quite a few duds this past Sunday, which led to many teams underperforming. You might have squeaked out a win scoring 80 fantasy points this week. It's hard to respect that, but I'll take it every single time. Fantasy football is a blood sport, where the weak are herded out to pasture to die. It's now that time of the year, where you either live or die. Make the right moves and you could be a champ. Make some poor decisions and you're going to be looking like fool. The first is a better option. Ladies love a fantasy football champion. 

QB Champs
1. Aaron Rodgers- 23 points

The highest total of fantasy points scored for a QB this week was 23? Yep, it was a sad week overall in fantasy but the odd's of A-Rod making the "champs" list on a weekly basis is about on par with Brad Pitt hanging at Spearmint Rhino in Vegas, and having a minimum of four "workers" offer to do things that are unspeakable on this website. It's pretty much a guarantee. 

2. Josh Freeman- 20 points

Josh Freeman?? I know, I'm in as much shock as you are. If Mike Williams decides to stop dropping balls at a record pace, Freeman could explode. Did anyone see how angry Freebie was with K2? Someone need's to tell Winslow he's not as good as he thinks he is anymore. He blew his chance at greatness by riding a motorcycle without knowing what he was doing. What a shame. His act is old. Freeman should backhand him. 

QB Chumps
1. Donovan McNabb- 7 points

You guy's saw that shot of his Mom leaving her seat after McNabb took about his 4th straight vicious shot before he was benched? Painful to watch. The day's of those two doing Campbell's soup add's seem like a million years ago. I don't know what bothers me more: The fact that McNabb is been thrust into hopeless situations the past two seasons or just thinking about those Campbell's soup advertisements. My God, those were terrible. 

2. Sam Bradford- 10 points

Many a fantasy analyst thought of Bradford as a possible breakout player this year......I was not included in that group. The addition of Lloyd will help going forward, but I see no reason to own this chump any longer as the Rams are horrendous. The Packers pass defense has been shredded like paper by such legends as Kyle Orton this season, yet "I am Sam" couldn't lead a single touchdown scoring drive against them? I've repeatedly said how sorry I feel for Steven Jackson the past few years, and that he deserves to be playing on a winner. Look's like he's going to go out a chump. 

RB Champs

1. Ahmad Bradshaw- 30 points

30 points? Wow, Terry's cousin must have really gotten loose on Buffalo this week!! Wrong. Eli Manning defiantly torched the Buffalo secondary all day long and should have had a minimum of 3 touchdown passes, possibly 4 or 5. Bradshaw just accepted the gift TD opportunities and converted like a good running back is supposed to. Manning owners have to be tearing their hair out over how close some of those were to passing TDs, especially the two that Manningham should had if you happened to own both of them. Wait, that's me. Whyyyyyyyyyy?

2. Michael Turner- 25 points

Everyone is down on the "Burner" this year but I suppose the vaunted Panthers defense had something to do with making number 33 look 5 years younger on Sunday. That defense is really bad. Like Roseanne naked bad!

RB Chumps

1. Adrian Peterson- 9 points

After watching that Sunday night game, you truly have to wonder if every team the Vikings play from here on out will stack everybody in the box. Why wouldn't they? The Vikings offense is a joke. How Bernard Berrian has a job in the NFL over someone like former Jag's first rounder, Reggie Williams, is beyond me. The guy is DONE!! Peterson owner's can't like what they witnessed, and they might be seeing a lot more of the same going forward. It huuuuurts.

2. Ryan Torrain- 2 points

Wait, the Eagles have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL right?? God, it's always nice when you think you made a nice waiver wire pickup in Torrain and plug him in expecting big things, only to basically get skunked. The Redskins looked painfully bad coming off their bye week, which is never a good sign, and Torrain was useless as the Eagles took a quick lead and Shanahan panicked and gave up on the run. If you have no other option, I suppose you have to continue starting him. Good luck with that. 

WR Champs

1. Devin Hester- 21 points

In return leagues, Hest-Daddy put up even more numbers, adding to his nice receiving day. Wouldn't it be nice if he could catch the ball like this on a consistent basis and you could actually, you know, feel comfortable even owning the guy in fantasy leagues? With his talent, Hester should be a guaranteed 70 plus  yards a week receiving but it just hasn't clicked. It may never, but for this week Hester leads the "Champ" wide outs. Kudos to you if you started  him. 

2. Marques Colston- 17 points

Mr. reliable returns! Just as you could count on Carlton stealing the show on "The Fresh Prince," you can count on Colston to lead the Saints receivers in receiving if he is anything close to healthy. Robert Meachem has once again faded into obscurity, further baffling people such as myself, who believe him to be supremely talented. Oh well, I give up. If you swindled Colston for cheap, or better yet some peon dropped him in your league and you were the benefactor, consider yourself lucky. And in the world of fantasy football, it's better to be lucky than good. Story of my life. 

WR Chumps

1. Dez Bryant/Miles Austin- 7 points each

Are you kidding me? You have the best starting wide-out tandem of any team in the league and you can't get a good game out of either one of them against one of the league's worst secondaries, and worst defenses period? I must put much of this blame on Romo, who was much worse than his numbers show. I noticed Bryant was open multiple times, and was not even looked upon in the second half. Truly mind blowing. Let your play makers make plays. It's pretty simple. Another blown game that the "Boys" should have finished off. 

2. Roddy White- 2 points

This is getting out of hand! Roddy looks worse than Buster Douglas, after he Ko'd Tyson and put on 80 lbs before his next fight. Real sloppy. The dropped balls are getting a little absurd. What happened to this dude? Going against Carolina, gave White the opportunity for a big game, one that would get his season on track. Instead he pulled a Ralph Macchio and disappeared. 

TE Champ


1. Jimmy Graham- 12 points

Another game with over 100 yards? This man-beast is the best receiving tight in the game at this point, and that's a fact. Finley has been bricking more often than Dennis Rodman at the free throw line and Vernon Davis has Alex Smith as his starting QB, making Graham-cracker the best out there, bar-none. What a freak. 


TE Chump
1. Vernon Davis- 0 points

How does your best receiving option only receive 2 targets and have 8 yards receiving in your team's biggest game in the last 5 years? It's astonishing. It truly is. The fact that Davis doesn't get 10 targets a week is asinine in my opinion, but hey they got the win right? Davis serves mostly as a decoy and a blocker on Sunday as Detroit seemingly focused their entire pass defense towards him. I can't blame them as Davis is God's son, but 0 points? C'MON MAN!!!!! That's embarrassing. 

Tune in next week for another in depth look into who dominated and who played like RuPaul...
