Sometimes It Just Comes Together

It's too early to soak ourselves in champagne, but winning like this does feel good.

The People's Pigskin recorded a resounding 133-77 victory over the VinSethVaughn Bears. The Internet's favorite fantasy football team now sports a 2-1 record.

Let's dissect the results.

Eli Manning, QB: 16 of 23 passing for 254 yards, 3 rushes for minus-3 yards, 4 touchdowns and 26 fantasy points. It certainly helped that Victor Cruz picked this week to announce himself to fantasy players.

Ray Rice, RB: 9 rushes for 81 yards, 5 receptions for 83 yards and 16 fantasy points. Rice didn't score any touchdowns, but the Baltimore Ravens didn't need him to.

Joseph Addai, RB: 17 rushes for 86 yards, 1 reception for 2 yards, 1 touchdown and 14 fantasy points. The only possible silver lining to the quarterback problems in Indianapolis is that Addai (who scored the Colts' only offensive touchdown Sunday night) may get more of the workload.

Larry Fitzgerald, WR: 5 receptions for 64 yards, 1 touchdown and 12 fantasy points. Yet another Pigskin player scored the only touchdown for his team's offense.

Percy Harvin, WR: 2 rushes for 41 yards, 3 receptions for 47 yards and 8 fantasy points. This score certainly would have been higher if Harvin didn't lose his pregame meal late in the game.

Wes Welker, Flex: 1 rush for 19 yards, 16 receptions for 217 yards, 2 touchdowns and 34 fantasy points. With his career outing, Welker gave the New England Patriots everything except a win.

Jason Witten, TE: 6 receptions, 60 yards and 6 fantasy points. Witten made the most of an evening where Tony Romo's biggest problem may have been his center instead of his ribs.

Pittsburgh Steelers, D/ST: 1 touchdown scored, 1 fumble recovery, 1 sack, 20 points allowed and 11 fantasy points. That defensive touchdown alone would have made this a successful fantasy outing.

John Kasay, K: 1 for 1 on field goals, 3 for 3 on extra points and 6 fantasy points. Kasay was one of the beneficiaries of a fourth-quarter scoring bonanza in New Orleans.

Bench: Some weeks, having three bench players score 11 points each (Michael Bush, Plaxico Burress and Brandon Pettigrew) would be a problem. And then there are weeks like this one.

Now, it's time to put that game in the rear mirror and turn our attention to this week's matchup against the t-bay jacks Young'ry Buccs. The polls are now open and will remain open through Saturday night. So please get those votes in, so we can keep this winning streak going.
