The NFL Fantasy Funbox Week 6

It’s week 6 and we’re just getting started here at The Funbox.  Thanks to both Gizmo and Beer Baron for giving me, Raptor, props for Greg Olsen.  This has enabled me to vault out to an early lead in the standings.  Like Obama, my lead will just get bigger and bigger as time goes by.

 

BENCHMARKS
We finally came to a unanimous agreement on our scoring benchmarks, they are as follows
-Plays of the Wk - (QB - 18)(RB - 16)(WR - 14)(TE - 12)

QUARTERBACK OF THE WEEK
RAPTOR - Jason Campbell. 
How many quarterbacks not named Jason Campbell have thrown for 15 TDs and 0 Interceptions this year?  None.  Not even Jason Campbell has done that.  But he has not thrown a pick this year and has been very consistent.  Last week the Eagles tried to take away Moss and his wide receivers…Campbell just threw the ball to Cooley all night.  This week the Cowboy-Killers play host to…wait for it…The Rams.  Has there ever been a worse tandem of teams than Lions/Rams?  This game will serve to pump the stats of all Redskin players.  Campbell could put up 300 yards this week while wearing a catcher’s mitt.
