Weekly Awards 2012: Week 3

Week 3's achievements are here!

Top Points ($10)

In Week 3, Rappin Forte was "dismantled" by Gregorovich Little by a final score of 147.80 to 78.78.

All but three of GL's roster positions produced double-digit fantasy points. WOW. In fact, three --THREE!-- position players actually produced 20+ points (M. Ryan, Ca. Johnson, R. Rice). What stood out to me the most, however, was the impact that Gregorovich Little's D/ST, the Arizona Cardinals, had on this match-up. Arizona put THE HURT on Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles, scoring 24 fantasy points for GL, while holding Rappin Forte's QB to a pedestrian 7.48, his lowest point total of the season.

Gregorovich Little is now sporting the highest point total in the league through three weeks (368.82).

Winner: Gregorovich Little

Current Winnings for Gregorovich Little: $10

Update: Bad Beat Award ($30)

Well, the team who look over the "lead" for the Bad Beat Award in Week 2, is still first in the running. And this one just might stick until the end.

Blood Sweat and Beers lost the heartbreaker of all heartbreakers in Week 3, when he was bested by 0.02 points by SUHkkake Ejections. What is that, like 3 rushing or receiving awards from getting the W? Man, oh, man. Heartbreaker indeed.

Blood Sweat & Beers now has a record of 0-3 and has the lowest point total in the league (263.96 points), but his team is getting healthier (Bills RB Fred Jackson has recovered faster than anyone had anticipated), and Arizona RB Ryan Williams might finally be ready to live up to his post-draft hype, as teammate Beanie Wells is headed to IR. Things should be looking up soon.

Next Up
