Some unexpected real-world results - Bills and Lions undefeated - have stayed true in the fantasy standings, but not all results duplicated the NFL's results this past weekend.
In week 3, the Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins all managed to win fantasy games they lost in real life.
High score of the week goes to the Baltimore Ravens, who scored 124 points against the injury-riddled St. Louis Rams.
Low score falls to the St. Louis Rams at 32 points, who were unable to score enough fantasy points to beat the real 37 points the Ravens scored against them.
Closest Game of the Week: Miami Dolphins 63, Cleveland Browns 62. One single fantasy point proved to be the difference between this game ending up with a real-life result.
Fantasy Stars of the Week: New England's Wes Welker and Baltimore's Torrey Smith lit up the scoreboards with their scintillating 34-point performances. While Smith's 34 helped the Ravens to the biggest win of the week, Welker's 34 ended up not being enough against the undefeated Bills.
