<p style='text-align: justify;]Canton Bulldogs (142) def Team Stowie (102)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canton continued their winning ways in a dominant performance to go atop the NFC standings at 5-2, whilst Team Stowie slips to 3-4 in the AFC
<p style='text-align: justify;].
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canton Bulldogs - Outside of Hilton (2 pts) and the Bengals D/ST (-1 FFS), Canton were outstanding all over the ground. Peyton returned to Indy to post brilliant Fantasy points (25) again (much to Irsays delight I imagine as his Indy devoured the previously undefeated Bronco's) with 3 TD passes and 386 yards. But he was ably supported by Flacco (13 - 215 yards, TD), Beastmode (15 on 91 yards, TD - should have been more, enough with you carrying the ball Rusty, just FEED THE BEAST), and Moreno (10 - 40 yards, TD). But the real story was the performances of Vinny Jackson (25 - 138 yards, 2 TDs) who has developed a lovely relationship with Glennon out in Tampa, Jordan Reed (19 - a buck thirty-four yards, TD), who is closing in on Jordan Cameron as rookie TE of the year, and Matt Forte, who stepped up in Cutlers absence to post 3 TD and 91 yards for the day (28). Jeffery, whilst cozy on the pine for Canton, continued his hot-cold streak with 105 yards in the Bears loss to Washington to further emphasize the strength of this squad. How Forte and Jeffer<a name='_GoBack][/url]y deal with Cutlers absence will be an intriguing feature for the weeks ahead for Canton.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Team Stowie - Topped 100 points and had some very good performances, but not enough top line scores to trouble Canton at their home ground. QB's Smith (15 - 240 yards and a rushing TD, bizarre as it was!) and Newton (14 - 204 yards, TD) were good leading their teams to win, and Julius Thomas (10 - 41 yards, TD), Freddy Jackson (13 - 36 yards, TD) and Hauschka (13) continued their good form for the year. The Panthers D (17) were exceptional against a Bradford-less Rams outfit, but the efforts of Stowie's Miami boys, Miller (4 - 43 yards) and Wallace (8 - 76 yards), along with Sanders scoring zilch and Mendenhall not reaching double figures despite a TD, put a dampener on proceedings. The good news is The Gronk got through unscathed, and was Brady's favourite receiver, and surely comes in next week for Stowie, and the word is Harvin is getting closer to a return to a Seahawks outfit that is crying out for a big time wideout.

<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canuck Warriors (63) lost to Jimbos Juggernaut (101)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Somewhat of a blowout as an Andrew Luck led Juggernaut rolled over Canuck.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canuck Warriors - Outside of RGIII (25 - 298 yards, 2 TD), Ridley (11 - 50 yards, TD) and Eli (12 - 200 yards, TD), this was a very ugly scorecard for Canuck. Foster (1) limped off with a hamstring injury after a measly 11 yards, Fitz (1 - 17 yards) was blanketed by Sherman on TNF, Allen (6 - 67 yards) showed us the ups and downs that mark a young wideouts early career with a return to earth, and the TE combo of Gates (3- 30 yards) and Gonzalez (3 - 31 yards) failed to add much to the scorecard. The Bronco's D/ST (1) was picked apart by Luck (and even kicker Macafee got in on the act, charging over to the sidelines to knock Holiday on his rear end!), and to make matters worse, Canuck had the Cowboys D/ST sitting on the pine scoring 15 in their win over Philly. A week to forget for Canuck, though it looks like the very good pick up of Stacy will pay dividends next week when Foster moves to the bench to rehab and Stacy comes in as a solid replacement.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Jimbo's Juggernaut - SNF was meant to be all about Peyton, but in reality, it was all about Luck (29), the heir apparent dominating with 228 yards and 4 TD's. Romo (12 - 317 yards, TD) got the better of a Vick-less Eagles, Charles continued his candidacy quest for MVP (15 - 86 yards, TD), though the fumble looked ordinary, and Woodhead, despite posting poor run numbers (26 yards), scored a TD to provide a respectable total (12). With McCoy (7 - 55 yards) and Cruz (5 - 50 yards) both putting in sub-par performances, I am sure Jimbo is relieved to have got away with this one, and he'll be asking for more from Bennett (6 - 7 yards, TD), Brown (5 - 50 yards) and the Rams D/ST - much like the Rams in reality, as with Bradford's demise, and with back-up QB's being slim pickings in the NFL at the moment it seems, the Ram's D/ST will need to be very good for the Rams to be a chance in their games whoever comes in at QB in future weeks.

<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Brady's Bunch (65) lost to The Jug-O-Naughts (73)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]The Jug-O-Naughts sneak home out in Brady land, as Matty Ice has a big day out in Tampa and the Jug-O-Naughts move to 4-3 and a tie for top seed in a crowded AFC leaderboard.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Brady's Bunch - A rather mediocre performance from the Bunch, with only Rivers (15 - 285 yards, TD), Big Ben (12 - 160 yards, TD), Nelson (10, 42 yards, TD) and the Pats D (10) reaching double figures, and with Geno's 20 sitting on the bench, the Bunch will been keep to move on from an ordinary performance. MJD (37 yards) and Ray Rice (45 yards) combined for 10 points in total, Boldin caught some passes but couldn't connect for a TD, leaving him stranded on 7 (74 yards) and Thomkins (1 - 16 yards) and Daniels (0 - 0 yards) might as well have not suited up, which Hartley in fact did do (or didn't do, it was the Saints bye, you get the picture). The Bunch have a funny squad, lots of potential, but a lot of inconsistency outside of their two main QB's, this writer is not sure where they are at to be honest.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]The Jug-O-Naughts - The O-Naughts were kinda lucky the Bunch had such a bad game, as they didn't fare too brilliantly themselves in a low-scoring shindig. Matty Ice (22) was the man for the O-Naughts, 273 yards and 3 TDs for Atlanta in their win over the Buc's. Way back on TNF, the Seahawks (13) got the scoring going with a strong defensive game, but outside of these two, the rest did little to get excited about. Brady (7 - 228 yards, INT) started off well, but the Jets D ramped it up after half time and Tom Terrific looked more mortal than we are used too. Reggie (9) ran for 50 yards and received another 40+, Andre Johnson (8) couldn't find the endzone, but was good against a strong Chiefs D and without much of a QB, and elsewhere, things looked decidedly vulgar. AP (2 - 27 yards) struggled, Powell couldn't reach 10 yards, and Mike Williams (3 - 32 yards) and Rudolph (2 - 27 yards) played as well as one might expect to be honest. The O-Naughts will look forward to Colston returning next week, and AP somehow returning to a semblance of himself in what is sure to be a very difficult time for the fella.

<p style='text-align: justify;]Kings of Karlos (116) def So Long Mr Wallace (68)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]The KOK continue their rise from a pre-season marked by squad upheaval and investing in RB's full to the brim of youth and excitement, and the dividends are paying of nicely (and earlier than expected perhaps).
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Kings of Karlos - Locker (21 - 326 yards, 2 TD) starred in his surprising return to Tennessee, throwing over 300 yards and 2 TDs, whilst Glennon (17 - 256 yards, 2 TD) continued his good form for Tampa and the 49ers D/ST (13) posted some nice numbers up against a Titans offence not considered a league heavy. One of the blue chip investments added to his stocks in the Packers win over the Browns, Lacy running superbly for 82 yards and a TD in his score of 19, whilst Decker (21) went very big against Indy (a buck fifty and a TD for the day). With under-par - or realistically, non TD - scores from Gio (5 - 27 yards), Welker (9 - 96 yards), Davis (6 - 62 yards) and Gordon (2 - 21 yards), there is a lot to be excited about for KOK. Brees sitting this week out and Bell (9) resting his heels despite showing much improvement for the Steelers recently, KOK continue to heap pressure on Rigil and Canton in the NFC.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]So Long Mr Wallace - When only 2 of your squad reach double figures, you know you're in trouble, and so it was for SLMW, with Rusty Wilson (19 - 235 yards, 3 TD) and Chris &amp;lsquo;I can't even reach 1000 yards' Johnson (16 - 39 yards, receiving TD) being the pick of a very ordinary bunch. Lewis contributed 7 (202 yards, and an INT), but that is probably where he is at in his development. Spiller (1 - still trying to overcome an ankle injury, by playing though, give the boy a rest Buffalo!), Blackmon (5 - 58 yards) and Marshall (7 - 75 yards) on the other hand are required to produce more. Clearly for Marshall, Cutler going out of the game significantly hurts his chances to make big plays, and for Blackmon, the Jags are terrible, so it is a week-to-week proposition I imagine for him and his mate Shorts on the bench. Fortunately, Clay scored a TD to make his scoreline look ok considering he recorded 7 yards for the day, and the Browns D, well, they played the Packers with Rodgers in ominous form, so nothing redeemable for them as they went -1 for the day. SLMW will get Graham back next week which helps, but more consistency across the board is required if they want to make a serious charge at the Superbowl this year.

<p style='text-align: justify;]Billy Bass (107) def Waito's Warriors (75)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]The team formerly known as Back-to-Back contenders, put in a dismal showing, with questions surrounding their coach and team harmony as Billy Bass put the former champs to the sword to record a strong victory at home
<p style='text-align: justify;].
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Billy Bass - 3 scores in the 20's got the job done for Billy, Rodgers (23) was very impressive throwing 260 yards and 3 TDs, Dalton (26) perhaps even more so (or at least, more surprisingly), throwing 3 TDs himself and over 300 yards, and of course, if Dalton racks up big numbers, who else but AJ Green dines out on his 24-34 passing, AJ going for 155 yards and a TD in his 21. Small contributions from Tolbert (9 - 36 yards, TD), Brown (6 - 23 yards rushing, plus some receiving), Garcon (5 - 58 yards) and Floyd (7 - 71 yards), helped the cause, but it was the Rodgers, Ranga and AJ show for Billy Bass. With Sproles to return next week, and Roddy unlikely to post a donut again, things are looking up for Billy Bass.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Waito's Warriors - Where to begin with the former Champs?? We know their QB's are weak, but 5 and an injury to Foles hurts, and Weeden (9 - 149 yards, TD, INT) continuing to struggle for the Browns is not ideal, but little is expected from the Warriors QB's anyway. It's their other issues that are at the heart of this losing streak. Richardson can't get it together in Indy and the trade by the Browns is looking better by the week (nothing says &amp;lsquo;poor form' better than a fumbling RB), The Muscle Hamster is having a terrible case of 2nd year blues (and suffered a possible season-ending injury in Tampa's loss to the Falcons when hit very hard by a Falcons safety), and Morris, despite posting a very respectable 95 yards, and looking great at times with the ball in hand, couldn't find the endzone in his team 45-41 routing of the Bears - how is that even possible (a hypothetical, I know how, his name is Helu Jnr). More bad news to come, but some spots of good stuff, Steve Smith went all vengeful of Jenkins and contributed a solid 12, Demaryius Thomas was one of Peytons favorite looks for the day, going 82 yards and a TD, Cameron (11 - 55 yards, TD) continued his fine form despite Weedens lack of throwing accuracy, and even Gostkowski posted a solid 10. No, the problem here is that their best player didn't take the field today - Megatron sat out - he posted 27 points, going head to head with AJ, Megatron scored 2 TDs and 155 yards, but Waito didn't think he could fit him into the squad. Then to top it off, the Ravens D/ST was benched, and scored a respectable 7 against the Steelers. They still wouldn't have won, but its not a good look, and the knives will be out if the defending Champs can't get their act together soon and get back to their winning ways of 2012. Team harmony, disciplinary reasons - whatever might be the case, the Warriors, as good as they were last year, need their best player out on the field to return to championship-contender form.

<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Rigil Kentaurus (84) lost to Team Simonoz (120)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]A game to remember for Team Simonoz as they humbled the previously high-flying Rigil Kentaurus in front of a rabid Kentaurus fan base.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Rigil Kentaurus - When the QB listed first on your team sheet has a -1 next to his name, it's highly unlikely your winning your game, and so it proved to be for Rigil as they were brought back to the pack in a tight NFC. Cutlers injury after his 28 yards and an INT can't be overlooked, but poor scores elsewhere will bear the brunt of the blame this week for Rigil Kentaurus. The Law Firm (2 - 24 yards) increasingly looks like the No.2 man in Cincy, Reggie (5) suffered a season-ending ACL (bad round for them unfortunately) post a 50 yard day, Torrey Smith (6 - 61 yards) battled manfully against a strong Steelers secondary, whilst on the other side of the ball, Miller had a topsy-turvy day (17 yards, TD, fumble), and Randle (8) sort of matched the Steelers TE with 40 yards, a TD and a fumble himself. The Bears D/ST got picked apart by RGIII, and despite having Hester tie Primetimes record for most punt return TD's, they conceded 45 points and totaled 1 fantasy point in a disastrous day for Chicago. There were some bright spots amongst the doom and gloom; The Inconvenient Truth (22) carried the ball for 70 yards and 2 TD's, and Stafford (26) continued on his merry way with 357 yards and 3 TD's on the day - though when you have a receiver like Megatron, these should be base numbers. The loss of Jones and Murray hurts this team and exposes them to inconsistent players at RB and WR, and with Ponder no longer the starting QB in Minnesota, and Cutler injured, things might get worse before they get better for Rigil Kentaurus.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Team Simonoz - Despite leaving the game with a season-ending ACL injury, Bradford (12 - 255 yards, TD, INT) posted solid numbers for Team Simonoz, and The Kap (19 - 199, RUSH TD) looked very impressive leading the Niners to a victory of the Titans, including running the pistol formation to a 20 yard TD! Ryan Matthews (17 - 110 yards, TD) continued his redemption to respectability, whilst Dezzy Bryant (11 - 110 yards) and Finley (13 - 72 yards, TD) proved to be their QB's most favourite receivers in their teams wins over Philly and Cleveland respectively. The icing on the cake came from Harry Douglas, who torched Tampa Bay for149 yards and a TD in his 20 points on the day. Not even a sub-par performance from DeSean Jackson (2 - 21 yards) could temper the festivities for Team Simonoz in a win that puts them atop the AFC. The pick-up of Case Keenum has proven to be somewhat Nostradamus-like in light of Bradford's injury, though how long young Case stays in the job is anyone's guess.
