“213 points. I can’t believe I was beat by the single greatest Fantasy Football day of all time. 213 points. ::smh::”

That’s what Matt would be typing if this was his blog… but it’s not. It’s mine. And I did, in fact, score 213.81 points this week. It started like any normal day. Woke up to another week of multiple Questionable players in the late games. “Oh boy this is fun”, I was thinking. One of the names was Beanie Wells again but this week we also get Vincent Jackson joining the injury game. I pick up a 4pm RB just in case and head to the bar. If Beanie’s out, I’ll start Reggie Bush. If Jackson’s out, I’ll drop Bush and get a WR. If both are out… well Jackson’s getting me 0.

So the morning games started and just kind of went. Nothing great, nothing horrible. Rex Grossman put up another stinker, 9.92 points, but at least he connected with Santana Moss so he got 9.85. Steven Jackson was playing solid. I was just happy he was playing so as long as he got me double digit points I’d be content. The TD towards the end was just icing on the cake. 16.17 points. Jimmy Graham. Every week with this guy. Another TD, this time with 132 yards, and he comes up with 17.3. My kickers got me 22 combined and the Saints Def eeked out 9 points. 84.24 total points from the morning games. Like I said, nothing to write home about. I drove home from the bar thinking that it was going to be a long shot winning this week with that total. “Show Me Your TDs” had 6 guys still to go, 2 of which were QBs, and I only had 4, 2 of which were Questionable.

I guess that’s when everything changed. Aaron Rodgers, 52.52 points, Beanie Wells, 37.2 points, Michael Turner, 25.9 points and Vincent Jackson, 13.95 points, just lit up the scoreboard all afternoon. VJackson did all his damage in the first half, 3/108/1, and didn’t return due to an injury in the 2nd. That should be fun again next week. Michael Turner decided to show up this week after last week’s disgraceful performance with 70 yards on the ground and 2 TDs. Beanie Wells shrugged off the Questionable tag with 138 rushing yards and 3… 3 TDs and then the real show happened; Aaron Rodgers missed Vick’s “greatest fantasy QB performance ever” from last year’s Redskins game by 2.4 points. 29 completions for 408 yards and 4 TDs in the air AND THEN 9 rushes for 36 yards and 2 TDs on the ground.

This is head to head so none of this really matters. It would have been way, way better last year. And I know, I know, records are made to be broken. The only thing they can’t take from you is the gold trophy and with the constantly injured players, that’s going to be really tough to do. Just watch how disappointing next week’s fantasy rant will be. I can see it already. It won’t be anything like this week’s 101.08 point victory. Yeah, you read that right. And again, that’s nice and all but it means nothing in H2H. The fact is though this day sure was incredible to watch. It wasn’t as much fun as you think it would have been as it all happened so fast, but it’s still kind of unbelievable considering this same team barely got me 110 points last week. You’ll always wonder “what if” though. What if I started Donovan McNabb instead of Grossman? I woulda had 220 points. Eh, we’ll save that for another day.
