Smooth Moves by Millennium Falcons

  • You put it all on the Fantasy field and pulled out a Fantasy victory! A Fantasy feeling only rivaled by becoming a real Toyota Hall of Famer.
  • Lean, mean, and haunting your dreams. The Seattle Seahawks Defense was a terror this week, accounting for 23.00 points. It was the highest DEF score of the week and the third-highest score among DEF in the league this season.
  • Rags to riches. That was the name of the game for Tyrell Williams who responded to being picked up by beating his projection by 195.9%, the fifth-highest percentage in the league.
  • There are rumors that the military wants to model a new all-terrain vehicle based off of Devonta Freeman. He had the 10th-highest score among RBs in the league this week with 13.13 points.
  • Michael Thomas scored 11.93 points, the fifth-highest WR score in the league this week.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • Dear, Liberty City Outlaws: Sorry to hear you lost. Toyota Hall of Famers don’t really know how that feels, but surely it can’t feel great. Next week, just win.
  • Did not start Mike Wallace, who beat his scoring projection with 9.67 points against a projected 5.16.
  • Whoever gave you this advice, you might want to lose their number. Picked up and started the New England Patriots Defense, which then scored below their 12.77-point projection with 7.00 points.
  • Martellus Bennett has scored below his projection in every game this season after scoring 2.60 points against a projected 6.60 this week.
  • 8 of the 10 starters scored less than their projected points.

  • Millennium Falcons would be 11-17 if they played every team every week.
  • Besides Millennium Falcons, Liberty City Outlaws would have been defeated by four other teams this week.

  • Liberty City Outlaws would be 1-2 if they played the same schedule as Millennium Falcons.

Game Notes
