Another fairly stable week of fantasy action in the NFL has come to an end.
Only one week remains in Creative Misfortune's fantasy season! Week 12 matchups remain critical as 18 out of 32 teams still have a chance to claim a playoff spot.
In week 11, both the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans managed to win fantasy games they lost in real life.
High score of the week goes to the Buffalo Bills, who dropped 122 points on the hapless Cincinnati Bengals.
Low score falls to the Oakland Raiders at 18 points, who didn't even score enough fantasy points to beat the real 35 points the Pittsburgh Steelers laid on them. Also deserving honorable mention, the 20 fantasy points the San Francisco 49ers scored that wasn't enough to beat the real 21 points Tampa Bay scored against them.
The following teams have clinched a Creative Misfortune playoff spot (weeks 13-16):
Indianapolis Colts (clinched the AFC South division)
San Diego Chargers (clinched the AFC West division)
New Orleans Saints (clinched the NFC South division and the NFC's #1 Overall Seed)
