Fantasy Football Awards - Week 6

For those of you who follow the blog my love for fantasy football is on display on a regular. Currently I belong to three leagues, two of which I am the commish. Hope the readers enjoyed parto de cinco(spanglish for part 5...duh), now its time for.... the sixth version. Running out of silly names so maybe I will try harder next week. As the familiars might know, two awards will not appear in this article to save the identities of those who had their hearts broken in our nailbiter of the week or for those who suffered the biggest beat down of the week, whoever had the worst luck ending up against Tom Brady and Deangelo Williams. Your rear really hurts from the whooping you took.

Moving on to the awards.





Week 6 Fantasy Football Awards





Our first award this week goes to a man who needs no introduction. With so many experiencing bye weeks and injuries this past week this guy was a huge reach. If you wanted a possibility of points then why not scoop him up. In my opinion he probably won't be starting in real football so you probably shouldn't have him in your fantasy roster, ever! The QB might be getting Young-er, if you get my drift. The crafty ole veteran himself earned himself the...


CHOKE ARTIST OF THE WEEK

Kerry Collins - -4 points (-7 pass yds, 1 int; -1 rush yd, fL)

More then likely if you had him you weren't stupid enough to start him (6% start in Yahoo!) however he totally deserves the award. I don't care if it was snowing, clearly that had no effect on Brady. Collins has to be replaced as the starter by Vince Young. With the team standing at 0-6 it seems like an obvious decision. They need to figure out if Young is the real deal or if they need to burn a draft pick on a QB next year. Odds are that if you rely on Collins your season is over in fantasy and you are planning on hunting him down. Pick up Young as any day now he is or needs to be starting. I know everyone is experiencing bye week drama but unless your league is really deep one QB should still be available. Chad Henne (14% owned in Yahoo!) is out there and has the ability to throw the deep ball. He looked great against the Jets so anything can happen.


NOTABLE PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK


So this award goes to a team/player who does really well just not as well as the MVP of the week. 19% of people in Yahoo! leagues decided to sit him for various reasons. Potent Giants defense, lack of TDs in previous weeks or you forgot to put him in after his bye. Now you get to kick yourself after he makes it rain in New Orleans like Pacman Jones at a strip club. Instead of dollar bills, it was raining TD passes. Normally his numbers might get him MVP honors but due to a man named Brady he couldn't quite do it. However his numbers were still very impressive. Who dat? It's....

Drew Brees 38 points (369 yds, 4 TDs)

While I may have abandoned ship on picking complete shockers, to some this was a complete shock. Out dueling the Giants by 21 points, putting up nearly half a century mark against such a strong defense (even at home) is insane. Certifiably insane. Sean Payton is clearly the offensive genius we thought he was. The Saints offense is clearly the welterweight champion of the NFL, oh yes, it's the Juggernaut people. The Giants learned the hard way and what shocks me the most is that they still aren't ranked number 1 in anyone's power rankings.


MOST VALUABLE PLAYER


There is no point in me even toying with this one. It is blatantly obvious who this week's MVP is.

Tom Brady 51 points (380 yds, 6 TDs)

It was just completely unfair what he did to the Titans. Their defense is poor enough but he could have stopped at 4, even 5. That would have been enough. In classic Belichick form they run up the score, probably because Billy boy has Brady in his fantasy league. Odds are he will have, not a repeat performance, but darn close to last week. The Bucs are another poor defense but the travel across the pond has hindered teams from performing before. Who will it take its toll on this week? My money is on the Bucs.

So there you have it folks. Those of you who I am in the leagues with congrats to the owners who have these players. For the others, thanks for checking out the blog. I apologize for the delay for the awards. Unfortunately for my writing skills I have gotten hooked to those silly Facebook games. Ooooh, I wonder if it's time to pick my crops? Gotta run! Until we BS again.
