Awards
The 2006 LaDanian Tomlinson Top Performing Team of the Week: Favre's Old Balls (136.42 points) took the week with 7 of 9 players earning double digit points and DeSean Jackson putting forth a monster effort.
The 2009 JaMarcus Russell/Derek Anderson Low Performing Team of the Week: Pitino Spamortion registered slightly more than 55 points. Strangely it was more about his guys under performing than anything else. Other than starting the Bears D instead of the Dolphins D, a move that cost him 16 points and given the match ups made a ton of sense, there's not much he could have done.

Owner of the Best Overall Player: Pitino Spamortion's Adrian Peterson threw up 18 points to hold down the top spot. It should be noted that Matt Schaub of Stan Mikita's Donuts had a similar week. In the process he moved up to #2 in the rankings and took the overall points lead. Can anyone knock Peterson out of that top spot?
Owner of the Worst Overall Player: Another back to back winner - LenDale White. And I only put him here again because he got the start in his bye week with a ranking of 1464. On the plus side he couldn't lose points in his bye week. I should note that I have a dangerous number of low ranked guys. They're on the bench, but it might be time to drop them regardless.
Call Out of the Week: This week brought up a question I never thought I'd ask - Is it better to start a player in his bye week or a player who recently had surgery and will not be on the field for several weeks? I tend to think the answer is neither and you should find someone else. But for whatever reason the latter continues to work for Stan Mikita's Donuts. Meanwhile, OBI WAN CANOLI and Rogue Trader decided to go 7 vs. 7 in week 7. Maybe it is better to have a blank roster spot instead of throwing Derek Andersen out there. Still I think it's bad for the competitive balance of the league. Of course writing a round up of a fantasy sports league is a sign that I may be taking this whole thing too seriously. So what do I know?
The 2007 Derek Anderson He's Ranked What? Award: He was frequently drafted somewhere around the 121st pick right after Laurence Maroney and Tim Hightower and well behind Beanie Wells, yet has risen to the 18th in the rankings. That's right Ricky Freaking Williams. And let the record show I never faulted Williams for walking away from an organization that seemed determined throughout the 2003 and 2004 seasons to prevent him from ever walking after his 40th birthday. Throw in his Texas carries and there's no way Williams is still around if he doesn't take some time off.
Matchup to Watch in Week 7: Once again That's a Tasty Burger gets the nod, sharing the spotlight with Rogue Trader this time around. They're tied at 5-2, battling for control of the league and as always they hate each other.
If the Season Ended Today...: Awkward Silences, That's a Tasty Burger, Rogue Trader and Bad Newz Kennels would make the playoffs. When it's all said and done I think Favre's Old Balls and Move it up 5 will bump those last 2.
