Week 9 Sleeper Results: Back in Business
Posted: November 11, 2009
After a few down weeks in Sleepertown, the Shack has pulled out of the projection recession and is back in business. Here are the results for Week 9:
QUARTERBACK (2 for 2)
Alex Smith – From a fantasy points perspective, Smith was nearly in line with his projection.
Projected: 22-34, 235 yards, 2 TD, 1 Int
Actual: 29-45, 286 yards, 2 TD, 3 Int, 1 fumble lost, 2-11 rushing
Matt Cassel – A 4th quarter rally (that fell short) boosted Cassel’s numbers considerably.
Projected: 19-33, 205 yards, 2 TD
Actual: 23-39, 262 yards, 2 TD
RUNNING BACK (1 for 2, 1 push)
Jamaal Charles – 20 touches seemed a lock, but he ended with just 9 because the Chiefs were forced to throw.
Projected: 18-85 rushing, 4-23 receiving, 1 TD
Actual: 6-36 rushing, 3-19 receiving, 2-pt conversion
Ryan Moats – The fantasy numbers were a mere point off, aside from the fumble.
Projected: 12-47 rushing, 2-16 receiving, 1 TD
Actual: 16-38 rushing, 3-15 receiving, 1 TD, 1 fumble lost

Actual: DNP
WIDE RECEIVER (0 for 3)
Michael Crabtree – Was targeted 8 times, but hauled in far fewer than expected.
Projected: 6-74, TD

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.
