Fantasy Fix: Week Five - 5 Up/5 Down
There were record breakers and big-time chokers, and that was just Tony Romo. 18 players scored over 20 points and two had over 35.
With all that said, let's go 5 up/5 down for Week 5 in Fantasy Football.
Five Up
1. The Crown Royal Reign On Player of the Week: Tony Romo, 41.94 fantasy points: Romo went 25-of-36 passes for a franchise-record 506 yards and five touchdowns. He also tossed one very costly interception, but that didn't really surprise anyone. I may not want Tony Romeo on my real football team, but I'll take him on my fake one any day.
2. Peyton Manning, 36.76 points: Manning just keeps piling up touchdowns and leads all fantasy players with 156 points. Manning matched Romo play for play as the Broncos beat the 'Boys in Dallas. Manning completed 33-of-42 passes for 414 yards with five TDs. Four through the air and one rushing. He also threw his first interception of the year. What a disgrace. Trade him to me, please.
3. Alshon Jeffrey, 27.80 points: Alshon who? Jeffrey's line was: 10/218/1. Looks like Jay Cutler can throw to someone not named Brandon Marshall. Jeffrey is currently 65% owned. Not for long.
4. T.Y. Hilton, 26.00 points: Doesn't it just figure that the week you give up on Hilton he goes off for 140 yards and two touchdowns against the NFL's best defense. Oh, you started him? Good for you. I started Kenbrell Thompkins. *hangs head, kicks dirt, walks away*
5. Julius Thomas, 24.20 points: The Broncos tight end caught nine passes for 122 yards with two touchdowns. I suddenly have a craving for an Orange Julius. Be right back.
Five Down
5. Anquan Boldin, 2.10 fantasy points: Boldin caught just two passes for 21 yards. Come to think of it, I want to add Colin Kaepernick to this list of downers, too. Kaep put up just 9 points himself. If you suck do you still "Kaepernick"?
4. Kenbrell Thompkins, 1.60 points: Coming off back-to-back double digit weeks, fantasy ballers were expecting more of the same. Instead we got drops and Tom Brady looking like Tim Tebow.
3. Lamar Miller, 1.50 points: Miller was a disappointment Sunday following a 16 point performance in week 4. He ran seven times for 15 yards. Not so much "ran", more like fell forward a few times.
2. Marques Colston, 1.50 points: Colston caught two passes for 15 yards and has one double digit fantasy week this season. I have one digit for Colston. *flips bird*
1. Ryan Mathews, 0.80 points: Mathews took a knee to head and left with a concussion. Bad news for Mathews owners, good news for Danny Woodhead owners. Can someone get Ryan some Advil and a drool cup?
