Something to Celebrate: Victory!

Before we get into last week's results, we should let you know that there's a new poll up. This one concerns Nate Washington, whose Tennessee Titans will face the San Diego Padres on Friday night. (Yes, on Christmas Day.) Nate currently sits in our starting lineup. Your votes will determine if he stays there. If you vote to bench him, Austin Collie will take his spot, at least temporarily.

Now, on to last week. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and he's given the People's Pigskin a chance to play for the title of "Best of the Rest."

The Internet's favorite fantasy football team hung on Monday night to seal a 150-126 victory over the Houston Wreckin' Crew. Here's a breakdown of last week's portion of the results.

Kurt Warner, QB. The stats: 23 of 37 passing, 233 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception, 2 rushes for minus-2 yards, 1 fumble and 13 fantasy points. The turnovers remain a concern, but Warner remains upright, and that's the important thing for Arizona Cardinals fans and fantasy football players.

Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB. The stats: 17 rushes for 110 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 reception for 13 yards and 18 fantasy points. Wells has settled nicely into the Cardinals lineup, and his value is sure to skyrocket in fantasy drafts next year.

Julius Jones, RB. The stats: 12 rushes, 65 yards and 6 fantasy points. ESPN also credits Jones with 2 receptions, but it also says he gained 0 yards on those catches. If a player gets the ball and doesn't go anywhere, did he really make a catch?

Greg Jennings, Flex. The stats: 5 receptions for 118 yards, 1 touchdown and 17 fantasy  points. What's more amazing: Jennings putting up those numbers against the Pittsburgh Steelers, or the fact that a receiver puts up those numbers against the Steelers is no longer surprising?

Chad Ochocinco, WR. The stats: 1 rush for 26 yards, 3 receptions for 79 yards, 1 touchdown and 15 fantasy points. Frankly, he should get an extra point for the way he paid tribute to Chris Henry in the end zone.

Austin Collie, WR. The stats: 1 rush for 2 yards, 3 receptions for 27 yards, 1 touchdown and 8 fantasy points. That's about as low a point total as you can generate in a game where you score a touchdown.

Kevin Boss, TE. The stats: 3 receptions, 57 yards and 5 fantasy points. He didn't get one of the dozens of touchdowns the New York Giants scored against the Washington Redskins, but at least he wasn't scratched.

Jay Feely, K. The stats: 0 for 2 on field goals, 1 for 1 on PATs and minus-1 fantasy points. How many of you would have voted differently in our kicker poll if you had known Feely would react the way he did to Henry's death?

Philadelphia Eagles, D/ST. The stats: 3 interceptions, 1 fumble recovery, 3 sacks, 13 points allowed and 15 fantasy points. This defense may be the real key to the NFC East title.

Bench. Matt Cassel scored 22 points. (Who knew?) Derrick Ward scored 12. Nate Washington scored 9, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh scored 7.

We'll be back tomorrow with a preview of our next matchup.
