Weekly Awards 2012: Week 8

Well, I know it's been a while, but I'm back, and I'm here to give you the low-down on the Weekly Awards for Week 8. 

Silence of the Rams (I know, predictable, right?)

Top Points ($10)

In Week 8, The Big Gostkowski got excellent production out of two players he acquired via trade earlier this season. QB Tob Brady carved up the St. Louis defense for 36.46 fantasy points, and RB Doug Martin had a huge day, putting up 33.4 fantasy points against the Minnesota Vikings, the 3rd-highest point total for a RB (at that point) this season. At the end of the week, the entire squad amassed 133.96 points.

Winner: The Big Gostkowski
