NFL Fantasy Football: Week Sixteen Swami or Bonehead?

The Swami-to-Bonehead ratio was pretty favorable, 17-13, but it could have been better. There were a number of very unexpected turns. But that’s what happens when teams and players decided to play the spoiler at the end of the season and ratchet their game up a level purely out of loser’s spite. Here’s the damage.

Start ‘Em!
QB
Tim Tebow: Yeah, in real football he lost. In fantasy football, he won big. 26 points. Swami!

Andy Dalton: I swear the Rams are playing like Steve Spagnuolo owes them money and he won’t pay up if he gets fired. 5 points. Bonehead!

Matt Stafford: This week he pulls out a 4th quarter comeback instead of Tebow. 29 points. Swami!

Rex Grossman: How did he not rip a weak Giants secondary? How? 7 points. Bonehead!

RB:
Cedric Benson: Not great yardage totals but he scored. 14 points. Swami!

Michael Bush: If he had been able to score, the Raiders might have won. Not great rushing totals but he padded his points with receiving yards. 13 points. Swami!

Reggie Bush: Wow. I never would have guessed last year that the l’il fella would ever be durable enough to rack up 200 rushing yards in the NFL. 24 points. Swami!

Chris Johnson: Oh, well. He hit double digits. Barely. 10 points. Swami-ish.

WR
Antonio Brown: Nah, all the Steelers got pwned all the way around.5 points. Bonehead!

Jordy Nelson: WTF? That’s all I can say. WTF!?!? 2 points. Bonehead!

Santana Moss: Was hoping for more, but hey, Rex was Rex. Moss still hit double digits. 10 points. Swami!

Demaryius Thomas: Was hoping for more, but double digits works. 11 points. Swami!

TE
Jake Ballard: Ah, Eli regressing a little bit. One point. Bonehead!

Jermichael Finley: At least one Packer pass catcher did okay. 8 points. Swami!

Owen Daniels: Maybe I was wrong about that Yates kid. AUGH! 2 points. Bonehead!

Sit ‘Em!
QB
Carson Palmer: I still don’t know who he really has to throw it to. 18 points. Bonehead!

Philip Rivers: Well, it wasn’t a knock ‘em dead performance but it’s still about twice as many points as I thought he’d put up. 14 points. Bonehead!

Alex Smith: Despite the power blackouts and the Steelers, he only dropped off in production slightly.  Go figure. 12 points. Bonehead-ish.

Ben Roethlisberger: On the other hand, Ben didn’t look right. Would it have killed Tomlin to have rested the big guy and start Dixon?. 5 points. Swami!

RB
Frank Gore: I totally expected the Steelers to shut him down. 12 points. Bonehead!

Rashard Mendenhall: I totally expected the Niners to shut him down. 8 points. Swami!

C.J. Spiller: This kid is completely frustrating. He tanks it one week and shows up like a beast the next. 28 points. Bonehead!

Ryan Mathews: Now, the question is: Are the Chargers that good, or did Baltimore fall back into their familiar pattern of losing to lousy teams after they smack around a good one. Hard to say which principle was in operation here. 22 points. Bonehead!

WR
Steve Johnson: More points than I thought but still below the magic 10 point mark for me. 8 points. Swami!

Michael Crabtree: Yep, called it. 3 points. Swami!

DeSean Jackson: Did i nail this one or what? 2 points. Swami!

Anquan Boldin: Actually, a couple more points than I expected. 5 points. Swami!

TE
Jermaine Gresham: The Rams really do play the TE well. One point. Swami!

Vernon Davis: Wow, I did not see that coming. 13 points. Bonehead!

Dennis Pitta: Todd Heap isn’t missing Baltimore. 2 points. Swami!
