It's crunch time in the fantasy football regular season. With only two weeks remaining, teams are doing everything they can to punch their ticket to the postseason!
In week 10, the Buffalo Bills and the New Orleans Saints both managed to win fantasy games they lost in real life.
High score of the week goes to the Green Bay Packers, who scored 136 points against the Chicago Bears. The Denver Broncos (118) and the Philadelphia Eagles (114) also eclipsed the century mark this week en route to decisive fantasy football victories.
Low score falls to the Cincinnati Bengals at 13 points, who were unable to score enough fantasy points to beat the real 24 points the Cleveland Browns scored against them. The Chicago Bears also failed to score more fantasy points (50) than the real number of points (55) the Green Bay Packers scored against them.
Closest Game of the Week: Buffalo Bills 60, Kansas City Chiefs 56. Though they lost in real life, the Buffalo Bills snatched a fantasy football victory from the Chiefs and have moved right into the thick of things in the AFC Wild Card chase.
Fantasy Star of the Week: Marshawn Lynch, 40 points. On a day when Peyton Manning threw five touchdowns and Aaron Rodgers threw six, Marshawn Lynch's four rushing touchdowns and 140 yards proved to be the height of individual player fantasy football scoring this week.
