Week 7 Results (2011) ~ "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..."

After a bunch of defensive contests last week where no teams scored over 100, this week the offenses exploded in some games and four separate teams - the Saints, Cowboys, Texans and Steelers - all eclipsed the century mark.

In week 7, no teams managed to win a fantasy game they lost in real life.

High score of the week goes to the New Orleans Saints, who scored 139 points against the Indianapolis Colts.

Low score falls to the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans. Both only managed 16 total points and were unable to even touch the 62 and 41 real points laid on them by the Saints and the Texans.

The St. Louis Rams also checked in with fewer fantasy points (32) than the real number of points (34) the Dallas Cowboys scored against them.

Closest Game of the Week: Denver Broncos 61, Miami Dolphins 58. Sure the game itself was terrible until the last five minutes when Tim Tebow emerged as the greatest non-traditional quarterback to take the field since sliced bread.

Fantasy Stars of the Week: Arian Foster, 40 points. He outscored the Colts and the Titans himself by a full 8 fantasy points this week.
