Congratulations to the Purple People Eaters, who scored an outstanding 158.5 points, 30 points higher than the next highest team. Their leading scorers: 

Kenbrell Thompkins, who led all WR with 46 points (more on him in a bit); 

Christian Ponder, with 40.4 points, thanks to 10 incomplete passes, 3 INTs, 3 Sacks and a lost fumble; and 

Marshawn Lynch, who managed just 43 yards on 17 carries, and dropped a pass for good measure, for a total of 27.1 points. 

The Purple People Eaters also managed only one negative score this week, with the Oakland Raiders Defense somehow only allowing 21 points and less than 300 yards of offense for a total of -3 points. 

Players of the Week!

The best performance this week came from Brandon Weeden, who put up an astounding 6 sacks, 3 interceptions, a fumble, and 27 incomplete passes, for a week-high total of 62 points!

Here are your highest scorers from each position (not on the wire):

QB: Brandon Weeden, 62 points, Hannibal Lechlers

RB: Doug Martin, 54 points (4 dropped passes, 2 fumbles, 24 rushes for 65 yards), Team Williams (not in starting lineup)

WR: Kenbrell Thompkins, 46 points (10 dropped passes on 14 targets, only 42 yards), Purple People Eaters

TE: Ed Dickson, 19 points (4 drops on 5 targets), 2 Girls 1 PUP

K: Randy Bullock, 5 points (1 missed 50+ FG), Dwarf's Penny

P: Bryan Anger, 12 points (11 punts, 1 touchback), Hannibal Lechlers

D/ST: Chargers, 14 points (28 points allowed, 400-449 yards allowed), Golden Showers (not in starting lineup)

The worst performance from an active player was Reggie Wayne, started by yours truly, who had zero dropped passes, 8 catches, 96 yards, and a TD, netting him -17 points. 

News and Notes

Blaine Gabbert, the #2 QB last week, will be out this week, so Chad Henne will get the opportunity to make the Oakland Defense look good. 

Danny Amendola is out, which means Tom Brady will probably throw Kenbrell Thompkins more than he did last week, which hopefully will mean more dropped passes. 

Brandon Jacobs is back in a Giants uniform, which will probably cut into David Wilson's fumble opportunities. If Wilson does lose his job, Jacobs is a great candidate to run into the line 20 times a game.
