Following on the heals of one of the highest scoring weeks in NFL history, week 8 provided a solid dose of low-scoring, defense-oriented affairs.
For the first time all season, no team managed to win a fantasy game they lost in real life.
High score of the week goes to the once again explosive Oakland Raiders, who scored 120 points.
Low score falls to the Seattle Seahawks at 22 points, who were unable to score enough fantasy points to beat the real 33 points the Oakland Raiders scored against them.
After eight weeks of fantasy play, only the Indianapolis Colts remain undefeated at 7-0. Only the Cleveland Browns remain winless at 0-7.
With only 4 weeks remaining in the Creative Misfortune fantasy regular season, no teams have yet clinched a fantasy playoff spot.
The following teams have been eliminated from post-season play (weeks 13-16):
Cleveland Browns (0-7)
