Week 11 Results (2014) ~ "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..."

With just one week remaining in the fantasy football regular season, all of the division titles in the AFC have been clinched. Only two of the NFC titles have been clinched. On the AFC side, three teams remain in the chase for the Wild Card spots - the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Miami Dolphins. Five teams are still chasing Wild Card and Division titles spots in the NFC - Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, and the San Francisco 49ers.

In week 11, the Carolina Panthers and the Seattle Seahawks both managed to win fantasy games they lost in real life.

High score of the week goes to the Green Bay Packers, who scored 128 points against the Philadelphia Eagles. Only one other team, the New England Patriots, managed to hit the century mark when they scored an even 100 points against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.

Low score falls to the Oakland Raiders at 36 points.

Closest Game of the Week: Carolina Panthers 69, Atlanta Falcons 68. The Falcons may have moved into first place in their division with their real-world win over the Panthers on Sunday, but Carolina took home the prize this week in fantasy points. The game did not matter, however, as the New Orleans Saints clinched the fantasy division title last week.

Fantasy Star of the Week: Jonas Gray, 43 points. Gray became just the third running back in New England Patriots' history to rush for more than 200 yards. His four touchdowns, the first four of his career, also helped his monster breakout night.
