Week 5 Sleeper Results: “Collie” Card
Posted: October 14, 2009
Ah, Costa Del Sol. The South of Spain… Not a bad life. And 5-10 with a push in a week where I was on a European vacation ain’t too shabby, either. I’m now in London, where my computer access is slightly better, though my ability to catch even one episode of NFL Live is nil. Still, the show must go on, so here are the Sleeper results for Week 5:
QUARTERBACK (1 for 2)
Matt Cassel – Got it going, as expected, despite falling a TD shy of the projection.
Projected: 19-32, 265 yards, 3 TD, 20 rushing yards
Actual: 23-41, 253 yards, 2 TD, 28 rushing yards
Mark Sanchez – Sanchez wasn’t efficient (50% completion percentage), and fell well short of expectations.
Projected: 18-28, 215 yards, 2 TD
Actual: 12-24, 172 yards, 1 TD
RUNNING BACK (1 for 3)
Jerome Harrison – Jamal Lewis took back the workload, and Harrison got bottled up when he got his touches.
Projected: 13-60 rushing, 4-22 receiving, 1 TD
Actual: 8-21 rushing, 0 TD
Jonathan Stewart – Projection had him at 12.9 points, came in at 10.5. Not quite, but useful.
Projected: 12-55 rushing, 2-14 receiving, 1 TD
Actual: 10-39 rushing, 1-6 receiving, 1 TD
Beanie Wells – It always seems like next week’s the week with this guy. Now his coach is even saying so.
Projected: 8-50 rushing, 1-8 receiving, 1 TD
Actual: 7-24 rushing, 0 TD
WIDE RECEIVER (1 for 2, 1 push)
Andre Caldwell – Fell a few yards shy of projection, but still found paydirt. Push.
Projected: 6-65, 1 TD
Actual: 2-33, 1 TD
Bobby Wade – Cassel spread the ball too much for any of his receivers, sans Bowe, to be a fantasy factor.
Projected: 5-60, 1 TD
Actual: 4-42, 0 TD
Austin Collie – Like I said, Garcon got the love, but Collie is getting the job done.
Projected: 5-55, 1 TD
Actual: 8-97, 2 TD
TIGHT END (0 for 1)
Sean Ryan – See Bobby Wade.
Projected: 4-42, 1 TD
Actual: 2-27, 0 TD
KICKER (1 for 1)
Olindo Mare – Same amount of points as projected, just in a different manner.
Projected: 3-3 FG, 2 PAT (1 FG 40+)
Actual: 2-2 FG, 5 PAT (1 FG 40+)
DEFENSE (1 for 1)
Carolina Panthers – Though Clinton Portis scored twice, the Panthers shut the Redskins down most of the day.
Projected: 13 points allowed, 2 sacks, 1 Int, 2 fumble recoveries
Actual: 17 points allowed, 5 sacks, 0 Int, 1 fumble recovery
Scorecard for Week 5: 5 for 10, 1 push
Overall Scorecard for 2009 Season: 23 for 52, 3 pushes (44%)
Welcome to the Shack!
Fantasy Sports Shack is a place for stats, opinions, information and links to the important stuff that will help you win a fantasy title, with a focus on football and baseball.
We want to know what a player has done for the last few years, their trends and projections for this year. We want to know sleepers who are going to make a difference, rookies who will shine and veterans who will bounce back. We want to know about the impact of the latest injuries, retirements and… well, legal issues. We want to know it before the next guy (or girl – the Shack doesn’t discriminate!), and we want to share it with you!
We’re just a group of fans who love fantasy sports. Some of us are new to the game, others have been playing for more than 15 years, on a number of platforms, with a variety of people. And not to boast, but we do okay. We’ve got the 4-time king (including a 3-peat) of an uber-competitive baseball league, a 2-time defending fantasy football champion and a top 3 fantasy football finisher for 6 years running. Just want to let you know we’re not yanking your chain when we offer our opinion. And that’s what we’re here to do, give you our opinion.
Opinion is what the Fantasy Sports Shack is all about. We’ll give you ours, so don’t be afraid to give us yours.
