Week 7 Awards!

Alright now that we are caught up I can make this a little prettier and more detailed. 

Week 7

Top Points ($10)

Quite a competition for this award this week, but yet again that sleek, sexy Italian sportscar Lamborghini Percy rides off with the award again. This week's victim was SUHkkake Ejections as he got leg-whipped 130.10 to 94.12. Lambo got the performance of a lifetime from Josh Freeman as he ran up a Brees-esque 36.10 and could've had an even bigger day if either Vincent Jackson ran a faster 40 than Marc Keller or if it wasn't somehow legal to push a guy out of the back of the end zone. 

Besides Freeman, Lambo got his usual solid performance from the 4 horseman of the apocalypse as Fitzgerald, Harvin, Cruz, and Marshall accounted for 46.8 points against an awesome average of 11.7 per receiver. Lastly JJ Watt and Co. swatted and sacked and intercepted their way to another 20 point performance capping off an incredible 4 week run for this team. 

Winner: Lamborghini Percy

Unique Achievement: "The Colossal Committee Award" ($5)

This award goes to the best collection of starting running backs in this league this week and this one wasn't close. With so many teams on bye having a full stable of starting running backs was a huge advantage. Here is a run-down of the league's performance with notable performances:

12. Choppa - 1.9. Not even sure how this is possible but Richardson got hurt and Jacobs didn't play. Not a banner week for his running backs. 

11. Deep Pockets - 6.9. Also really terrible, but also victim of his RB1 - MoJo getting hurt early on. He's now sitting on three hurt backs - MoJo, Mendenhall, and Benson.

10. Raider Nation - 16.7. This is more like the scores I expected to see at or near the bottom. McCoy on bye was the big hit here. 

9. Mr. Carlson's Class - 17.8. Late minute trade of Lance Moore for Vick Ballard really boosted this team's running back value as Ballard when for double digits. Charles on bye didn't help. 

8. Lamborghini Percy - 21.1. It's obvious this team isn't riding running backs to his top points award week after week. What's most surprising is that he actually got a 10.5 average out of two Saints running backs. 

7. Matty rIce  - 23.8. Couldn't get a great performance out of Ray Rice (5.6) but Alfred Morris has been a stud all year. 

6. SUHkkake Ejections - 29.3. With Mathews on bye, this team had to rely on an underachieving McFadden and a "rejuvenated" Shonn Greene. He can't really be this good can he with back to back double digit games?

5. Call me Brady? - 29.8. Just so obviously wrong about Lynch and Gore. More on that in the power ranking column which i promise is coming. 

4. My Vick in a Box - 32.1. Arian Foster is really good at scoring touchdowns. That is all. 

3. I've Got Gronkchitis!!! - 34.4. With CJ Spiller returning and Ahmad Bradshaw running like an ANGRY man and yelling at his coach and slapping Victor Cruz in the head, this team has a strong corps of running backs. If only Cam Newton wasn't a bust at that price. 

2. Blood, Sweat, and Beers - 39.9. Adrian Peterson finally got back in the end zone and looked really strong against Arizona and that Buffalo run game produced some stats as both Spiller and Fred Jackson went double digits. 

1. The Big Gostkowski - 62.2. What a runaway. Chris Johnson nearly secured this award by himself with 31.8 points. Doug Martin broke out a little with 18 as that Martin for LaFell (who also got in the end zone) and Tate trade was looking like a bust for both sides after a few weeks. Picking up Dwyer was icing on the cake.
