Victory!! A week ago, I said there wasn’t much sweeter than going into the Sunday night game, knowing you had a win in hand. Well that feeling is topped by going into Sunday period, fairly comfortable you’re going to win and clinch a playoff spot.
I didn’t really plan it this way, but I had two fantasy players in each of Thanksgiving Day’s three NFL games:
- Robert Griffin III lit up Dallas, and delivered 35 fantasy points.
- Miles Austin, thanks for nothing
- Arian Foster, got his usual 20+, 26 in fact, befitting the #1 overall pick
- Shayne Graham, got the benefit of overtime for 11 points out of the kicker position
- Stevan Ridley, picked up some garbage points in New England’s shellacking of the Jets, delivering 15.7 fantasy points
- I learned my lesson last week about the New England DEF and they rewarded me this week with 25 in the bank
Rolled into Sunday with 113 points on the board, and 2 players left. Going into Sunday night, Aaron Rodgers would have needed a historic fantasy performance without giving up much to Randall Cobb, who I was starting. Neither did particular well, which was fine by me.
That’s three wins in a row. And if my math’s correct, I’m back in the fantasy playoffs.
