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%)
