Week 15 will go down in history of the week that made and broke so many fantasy football hearts.  Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford, Ryan Matthews and Calvin Johnson brought great joy and success to some teams while Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Ray Rice and Jordy Nelson broke others hearts.  In a week that saw the Colts get their first win of the season and the Packers their first loss, it has been proven that on any given week anything can happen.  Let’s break it down game by game and seen how it all went down:

Notes

Tashard Choice is playing quite a bit on 3rd down passing situations

Fitzpatrick continues to be horrific ever since getting his contract extension

Brandon Marshall continues to be plagued with dropped passes which kills his value at times

CJ Spiller picked up decent yardage all game long but did not get the carries he should be

Injuries

Key Plays

Johnny Knox carted off with severe back injury

Lynch TD runs of 2,3 yards

Mike Williams broken ankle

Bears defense falls on fumble for TD

 

Seahawks defense scores on 2 INT returns

Notes

Seahawks miss 3 opportunities on goal line but get bailed out on penalty on FG attempt. Lynch scores from 2

Caleb Hanie is just awful. Bears had every opportunity to win this game but Hanie just gave it up.

Seahawks have waited way too long to get Zach Miller involved in their offense this year.

Khail Bell was use far more than Marion Barber today. Probably worth a desperation pickup next week.

Gerhart TD catches of 10, 16 yards

 

Moore TD catches of 5,47 yards

Notes

Adrian Peterson was in and out of this game as it appeared the Vikings were limiting his touches today.

Drew Brees couldn’t miss in this game.  The Saints as a whole are so much better in a dome than outdoors.

Jimmy Graham had less snaps late in this game possibly due to sore back.

Darren Sproles had a 14 yard TD catch overruled as down at the 1 yard line, which Thomas ran in for TD.

Rams might shut Sam Bradford down for year

Cedric Benson 4 yard TD run

 

Danario Alexander 25 yard TD catch

Notes

Kellen Clemens wasn’t too bad but also wasn’t asked to do much of anything either.

The Bengals are playing bad football and are trying to do all they can to blow a playoff chance this year.

Scott vultures a TD from Benson late in the third quarter.

Benson fumbled the ball 3 times in this game but each time the Bengals recovered.

Injuries

Key Plays

 

Orlovsky to Wayne to give the Colts the lead

 

Indy INT broke the Titans spirit

 

Jared Cook fumble early in 4th quarter to stall a drive

Notes

Hasselbeck benched again in favor of Locker, should be starter in the last two weeks

Nate Washington needs to be started in the last two weeks

Don’t trust Jared Cook based on this performance

I like Donald Brown in the last two weeks, but no Colts receiver should be started

Injuries

Key Plays

Two packer offensive linemen went down

Leonard Pope “catch” wasn’t challenged led to KC FG

 

Jackie Battle TD to put Chiefs ahead to stay

 

Chiefs able to run out the clock due to the poor D of GB

Notes

Orton not fantasy worthy even with decent performance

Dwayne Bowe is flex at BEST with poor Chiefs passing game

Tough to start Packer receivers right now without Jennings, Finley is best start

Loss could make the Packer players viable for another week if SF wins, GB won’t clinch home field

Notes

Mark Sanchez is too inconsistent to count on.

LeSean McCoy  the number one running back in fantasy this season

Sit DeSean Jackson the rest of the season

Don’t trust Brent Celek because of this game
