A lot of close fantasy games this week... probably a record number of 1-pt games in Creative Misfortune's "If Real football Used Fantasy Scoring..." history. How did your team play? Mine lost, by one point in both fantasy and real life. More's the pity, I say.
In week 2, only the Detroit Lions managed to win a fantasy game they lost in real life.
High score of the week goes to the Green Bay Packers, who scored an impressive 132 points against the Washington Redskins.
Low score falls to the San Francisco 49ers at 21 points. Completely clobbered by their division rivals, the 49ers were unable to score enough fantasy points to beat the real 29 points the Seattle Seahawks scored against them.
Closest Games of the Week:
Kansas City Chiefs 67, Dallas Cowboys 66
Detroit Lions 69, Arizona Cardinals 68
San Diego Chargers 105, Philadelphia Eagles 104
Fantasy Star of the Week: Aaron Rodgers, 35 points. Who needs a defense when your offense can score as often as the Packers.
