Week 4 Fantasy Football

Such is the life a Fantasy Footballer. Especially if you play long enough.

An average of 134.25 points scored a week and being the 5th highest scoring team in the league by this point should be a 3-1 or at least 2-2 record. Not me, I'm 1-3 right now. See, having the 3rd most points scored against you (and then only by 5 points) will do that.

My top 3 this week were Peyton Manning (33.65), Buccaneers DST (28), and Adrian Peterson (18) for 79.65

His top 3 were Ronnie Brown (35.1), LT (29.6), and Roethlisberger (22.8) for 87.5

The other stud RB's

Gore - 11.1 (50.3 season total)
Alexander - 8.3 (60.8 season total)
Rudi - out because he is hurt (39.7 season total)
Parker - 6.6 (71.8 season total)

Peyton went for 33.65 bringing his season total to 110.9, that's nearly 40 points higher than Willie Parker who leads the list of other stud running backs not named LT, LJ, S-Jax, and Addai (all taken before I took Peyton).

Here is a rundown of the first 10 picks and their season total for points (some trends are starting to emerge now that 1/4 of the season is done):

LT......................71.3
S-Jax.................33.5 (already injured)
LJ......................43.7
Addai................92.1 (already injured)
Peyton.............110.5
Gore.................50.3
Alexander.......60.8
Rudi.................39.7 (already injured)
Parker.............71.8
Maroney.........30.5 (already injured)

Who's the highest scorer on that list?

My 2 running backs of Adrian Peterson (82.6 total points) and DeShaun Foster (53.0 total points) would be 3rd and 6th on that list respectively for highest scorer. Throw in Roy Williams (88.6) my 3rd round pick and he is 3rd on the list with AP coming in 4th.


My record is 1-3 due to the flukiness of Fantasy Football, and not because I chose to Do the Opposite.
