A ton of injuries over the weekend impacted the results of both real and fantasy games across the NFL.
In week 7, the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans all managed to win fantasy games they lost in real life. The Houston Texans had the biggest fantasy victory of the weekend, knocking off the lone remaining undefeated team in the fantasy world, the surprising Kansas City Chiefs.
High score of the week goes to the Washington Redskins, who scored 98 points against the Chicago Bears.
Low score falls to the Minnesota Vikings at 30 points, who played absolutely terrible on Monday night against the New York Giants. The Vikings did manage to at least score enough fantasy points to beat the 23 real points the Giants scored against them.
Closest Game of the Week: Baltimore Ravens 54, Pittsburgh Steelers 53. It took every fantasy point the Ravens had in order to steal a fantasy victory from the Steelers.
Fantasy Star of the Week: Andrew Luck, 29 points. Going head-to-head against the Hall of Fame quarterback he replaced in Indianapolis, Luck emerged as this week's highest fantasy scorer, however the victory was marred by the loss of Reggie Wayne to an ACL injury. Unfortunately one of Luck's passes to his number one wide receiver was low and Wayne's knee buckled beneath him when he tried to awkwardly catch the errant throw. A fluke of a play to be sure, but one that will haunt Luck and the Colts the rest of the season.
