What a weird week for fantasy football. A few players had monster games, while others who we thought would post good numbers, did zilch. About half the running backs in the league getting hurt didn't help either. Oh well, if you had one of the top QB or RB Champs for Week 7, they almost certainly carried you to a fantasy football victory.
QB Champs
Drew Brees- 33 points
Did anyone out there feel just a little bit bad for the Colts Sunday night? Yeah, me neither, and neither did Drew Brees. People in New Orleans are already planning a parade in his honor (actually, they do that every week). Seriously though, FIVE touchdowns! Aaron Rodgers only had three. Take that A-Rod—you bum!
Aaron Rodgers- 26 points
I’m just kidding, Rodgers; I still love you and your 300+ yards, 3 touchdown standard games every week. I couldn’t be happier that I have you leading my fantasy football team. Too bad my top three running backs are Cedric Benson, Jonathan Stewart, and Ryan Torain…
Tim Tebow- 21 points
Are there other quarterbacks who I could put here? Yes, there are. But Tebow earns this spot for proving many others and myself wrong (at least for this week). For 55 minutes he was awful. Then, just when you think he’s going to lay a big fat zero on the board for those fools who started him at QB, The Chosen One gets two TDs and hands the Fins another loss. Divine intervention? It’s the only explanation.
QB Chumps
Joe Flacco- 8 points
I can’t believe I watched the whole Ravens/Jaguars game Monday night. I deserve a medal… or at least a plaque. What was that out there? Before the game we heard some talk about the Ravens being the best team in the AFC. BREAKING NEWS (courtesy of the Jacksonville Jaguars): They’re the third best team in the AFC North. It all starts with Flacco, who’s got to be taking a lot of flack (zing!) in that locker room. 137 passing yards against a Jags team that's going nowhere this season. Ugh.
Philip Rivers- 9 points
Baffled, befuddled, and completely outmatched in the second half. He commanded a Chargers offense that had no idea what they were doing on their final drive of the game and tossed two more picks, bringing his yearly total to nine (tied for second to last in the league).
RB Champs
Arian Foster- 42 points
Foster’s might be Australian for beer, but it’s American for running all over the Tennessee Titans. A-Fost (he doesn’t have one of those names that you can hyphenate and make sound cool) is back in business. The business of scoring touchdowns and

getting insane amounts of yards from scrimmage that is!
DeMarco Murray- 31 points
It’s not everyday that some random rookie RB averages 10 yards per carry and scores a ridiculous amount of fantasy football points. I’m actually glad he’s not on my team since I probably would’ve started Ryan Torain over him in my flex spot. Actually, that’s a lie; I wish he were on my team. Say goodbye to your job, Felix.
Matt Forte- 25 points
So it looks like Forte is going to have the best selling jersey in London. It seems like he’s pretty good. Yeah, he’s alright. It’s not like he’s the Bears entire offense or anything though. They don’t need to pay the man.
RB Chumps
Darren McFadden- 0 points
Wait, did Run DMC play? He did? Oh, he hurt his foot at the start of the game. What’s the word on that? Oh, the official diagnosis is a “mildly sprained foot.” Great. That’s great. Stay in the game next time, D-Mac. The Raiders couldn’t have done any worse with you in there.
Ryan Mathews- 7 points
The Jets are bad against the run, but Mathews only managed a measly 39 yards on the ground. Just when everyone starts to talk about how he’s in for a breakout season, he goes and does something like this. Tolbert even outplayed him-- bad news for Mathews’ owners.
Ray Rice- 7 points
The second Chump on this list from the Ravens. He should’ve had 100 yards and two touchdowns against the Jags, not 63 total yards and a fumble.
WR Champs
Plaxico Burress- 21 points
Where in the world did that come from? Plax clearly didn’t do any training in prison, so maybe he’s finally back in football form. Santonio Holmes is already starting to complain since he's not getting as many looks. Stop talking, Santonio. Nice work, Plax.
Greg Jennings- 21 points
A-Rod likes to spread the ball around, but one lucky Packers receiver always has around a billion yards and a touchdown. This week, it was Jennings, who the Vikings decided not to cover on a long touchdown pass. Nothing against the Packers #1 wide out, but I could’ve made that catch and jogged/walked it in for a TD.
WR Chumps
Miles Austin- 2 points
The Cowboys scored 34 points and Austin only had 16 yards. How is that possible? It’s possible if your rookie running back goes into berserker mode and runs for 253 yards! Also, if Dez Bryant is better than you and gets more receptions! Yup, that’s what happened.
Reggie Wayne- 4 points
Most wide receivers performed up to expectations this week, so we’ll have to give this second WR Chump spot the Reggie (even though we don’t expect much from him these days). RW doesn’t look too happy whenever they show him on TV. That’s because he isn’t used to being on the worst team in football. He misses his friend.
TE Champs
Jimmy Graham- 17 points
I am creating a new Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps rule: After this week, Graham is no longer allowed to be on this list. He is permanently a champ. (I expect LT to follow this new rule when he returns.)
Fred Davis- 14 points
Goodbye, Santana Moss. Hello, even more touchdowns for Fred Davis. Does anyone remember at the start of the year when Chris Cooley was the Redskins #1 tight end? The times have changed.
TE Chump
Greg Olson- 0 points
He was my bye week filler for Gronk. Thanks a lot, Olson. Way to get ZERO POINTS! I kept checking back on the Bucs/Bears game with the hope of seeing my man catch a ball. Sadly, I missed his one reception for four yards.
Champ Defense
Kansas City Chiefs
Six interceptions (two of which were taken to the house) and they got the shutout.
Chump Defense
Indianapolis Colts
The Saints scored 62 points. A sad face emoticon pretty much sums up the Colts’ defense :(
Champ Kicker
Josh Scobee
Four for four, with two kicks of 54 yards and another of 51 yards. Give this man a game ball.
Have a good week, everyone. Go get a costume for Halloween! Please note that throwing on a football jersey doesn't count as a costume. Dressing up as your favorite team's coach, however, is encouraged.
