Week 7 Sleeper Results: Stuck in the Mud
Posted: October 27, 2009
Week 7 was better than Week 6, but the outcome was still a mess. There were a couple decent picks, but the lone bright spot was Pittsburgh receiver Mike Wallace, who slightly exceeded expectations. Here are the results for Week 7:
QUARTERBACK (0 for 2)
Chad Henne – Nearly right on the yards, but it took 12 more pass attempts and resulted in 2 less TD and 1 more Int.
Projected: 16-24, 220 yards, 2 TD 1 Int
Actual: 18-36, 211 yards, 2 Int
Shaun Hill – Hill out, Smith in. Second straight week with a QB benched at the half.
Projected: 17-27, 210 yards, 1 TD
Actual: 6-11, 45 yards, 1-2 rushing
RUNNING BACK (1 for 3)
Michael Bush – Shoulda trusted the trends and rode Fargas in this one.
Projected: 12-46 rushing, 1-8 receiving, 1 TD
Actual: 8-25 rushing, 1-6 receiving
Mike Bell – Surprisingly, maybe, got more touches than Pierre Thomas. Is it a trend? Hmm…
Projected: 9-33 rushing, 1 TD
Actual: 12-80 rushing
Kevin Faulk – Nearly invisible in London. We’ll blame jet lag.
Projected: 5-24 rushing, 4-41 receiving
Actual: 2-19 rushing, 2-5 receiving
WIDE RECEIVER (1 for 3)
Lance Moore – Disappeared amongst the Saints‘ weapons.
Projected: 5-59, 1 TD
Actual: 2-18
Mike Wallace – Had the 3 catches and the score, and put up bigger yardage numbers than expected.
Projected: 3-55, 1 TD
Actual: 3-72 receiving, 2-19 rushing, 1 TD
Mohamed Massaquoi – Got targeted a fair amount (8 times), but it didn’t amount to much.
Projected: 6-91
Actual: 1-22
TIGHT END (o for 1)
Zach Miller – The Raiders‘ jinx strikes again.
Projected: 5-71, 1 TD
Actual: 2-15
KICKER (0 for 1)
Joe Nedney – Not quite the “ample opportunity” I had anticipated.
Projected: 3 FG, 2 PAT, (1 FG 50+)
Actual: 3 PAT
DEFENSE (1 for 1)
Carolina Panthers – Another week, another decent showing for a defense.
Projected: 17 points allowed, 3 sacks, 1 Int, 1 fumble recovery
Actual: 20 points allowed, 2 sacks, 1 safety
Scorecard for Week 7: 3 for 11
Overall Scorecard for 2009 Season: 27 for 74, 3 pushes (36%)
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.
