No real close fantasy games this week and a few very big blowouts.
In week 3, both the Atlanta Falcons and the Green Bay Packers managed to win fantasy games they lost in real life.
High score of the week goes to the Carolina Panthers, who scored 120 points when they demolished the New York Giants.
Low score falls to the New York Giants at 11 points. The Giants were unable to score enough fantasy points to beat the real 38 points the Carolina Panthers scored against them. The Giants weren't the only team to get blasted this week. The Arizona Cardinals only managed a mere 29 fantasy points and failed to top the real 31 points the Saints scored against them. Kind of hard to win real football games when you can't even score enough fantasy points to win the game!
Closest Game of the Week: Atlanta Falcons 75, Miami Dolphins 68. The Falcons may not have survived the real fourth quarter comeback by the Dolphins, but they held on in the fantasy world.
Fantasy Stars of the Week: Drew Brees, 31 points; Antonio Brown, 31 points. Always nice to see somebody besides a quarterback named Manning be the star player of the week.
